Users are complaining that they are unable to access the app at all.
“@AskeBay your eBay app isn’t working on the iPhone. Keeps kicking me out! Now unable to respond to messages,” one affected user tweeted.

This isn’t the first time users have been having problems with the eBay app crashing on iOS devices. In fact, there have been similar complaints with previous iOS versions dating as far back as 2016. There is no information about how widespread the issue is. It is also unclear if Android users are facing the same issue or not.
For now, there is no comment from eBay about the issue.
A few workarounds if eBay is crashing on your iOS device
Affected users have been trying various workarounds with very little success, but until eBay or Apple releases a fix, you can try some general workarounds that do sometimes fix apps that are crashing.
The first workaround is to simply restart the iPhone. However, one user said he tried it, but but eBay still crashed on his iOS device.
Another workaround is to clear some memory to free up some storage space. More space usually makes phones work faster, so it could prevent crashes. To clear space on your phone, go to Settings > Safari> Clear history and website data.
