Ebay app not compatible on my Mini Ipad2

Hi, I use my Mini Ipad2 to sell on ebay, a few days ago the app stopped working. I have restarted the ipad as new and still will not let me download that ebay app, just will say it is not compatible with this device. Ipad2 don't work anymore? I would be grateful for any help.

iPad mini, iOS 9

If you had this app on your iPad before,

Previously purchased/downloaded apps should appear in the Purchased tab/section/button in the iOS App Store app lower menu on the older iPad model.

Look for the eBay app in your purchases list.

Then, try tapping the download “cloud” icon next to the app, in this location, to see if the small window pop-up prompt that states that there is an older version of the app that is compatible with your device. Would you like to download this version now?

Tap the OK button just below the prompt to start the downloading of the older app version to your iPad.


Best of Luck to You!

When you restored your iPad as a new device, the reason you lost the ability to download the ebay app is because it now requires iOS 11 or higher and your iPad cannot run iOS 11.


Try the suggestions in this link from forum member MichelPM. If ebay still supports the app on your lower iOS level, you can get it from one of the methods in the link. If they don't, you can't and you will need a newer device capable of running iOS 11 or higher.
