But now I can’t even log-in or even logout. It auto logins me though. But nothing works and it’s now very infuriating for me to use this app. Contemplating on deleting this app. ### 1/5 — Shutdown? App broken? *2026-01-21* I have a package that never got to me and it’s been months. So I try to go on the app, and I can’t see any auctions, it’s telling me I’ve had no previous purchases even though I’ve bought another item that did ship to me. There’s a button for contact us, and when I click that it just says “No messages to show yet”. And the logout button does nothing !! Not sure if this is just a quickly vibecoded app that’s broken down or what, but I now have an item that I paid for and didn’t receive, that I can’t access and I can’t find support to reach out to. ### 1/5 — Dead app *2026-01-16, version 3.14.0* Apparently the app is dead, nothing loads. ### 1/5 — Is this app still alive *2026-01-13, version 3.14.0* I wanna sell funkos but don’t see anything selling on the app genuinely fix your app what’s the issue? ### 2/5 — Was nifty until I tried it again today *2026-01-13, version 3.14.0* I never really used it all that much but I did like the idea behind it. Tried using it today and no matter what I do (even after like 3 app reinstalls) it just doesn’t work. Nothing loads and nothing works ### 3/5 — White screen *2026-01-12, version 3.14.0* I’ve been using this app for a year and I’ve had not a lot of problems. I didn’t use it for a couple months and then yesterday I redownloaded it and it kept me logged in but there was no listings and everything was blank white. I don’t know what to do pls help. ### 1/5 — There is nothing there. *2026-01-07, version 3.14.0* iPhone 17 pro max. There is nothing content what so every. ### 1/5 — Trash app don’t use *2026-01-02, version 3.14.0* All of a sudden I try to log on, and it’s all blank even my profile. I click the help button and it shows my account name for a second then constant errors. Screw this dead app, I’ll stick to my usuals. ### 1/5 — CUSTOMER SERVICE *2025-12-08, version 3.14.0* Encore’s Customer Service is by far the worst.
