    Recently I wiped my phone and thought I'd see how long I could go using just the browser, BBW and Amazon App Store. Turns out not that long ! The eBay app from Amazon crashes when opening the cars category (weird, it does everything else perfectly).

    So, today I put Conite's Play Store apk's back on the phone. There is no problem with the Play Store, I can install apps fine.

    The problem is that I can't install eBay from Google Play, I'm guessing because I had it before from Amazon App Store and it isn't properly deleted from my phone. It downloads but just never opens the install page.

    So far, I have tried reinstalling the Amazon version and deleting it (long press then X) and reinstalling the Amazon version and uninstalling through Ghost Commander.

    Any idea how I persuade this new apk to install or the old one to uninstall?

    Conite's Play Store......

    If I were you, I just wipe the phone again.... and NEVER use the Amazon stuff so it doesn't get activated. Cobalt's Google Play is all you should need other than a few utilities from BlackBerry World.

    Very true. I wish I'd just stuck with Conite's store! I will wait and see if anyone else comes up with suggestions, if not, you're right I'll just have to wipe it again.

    Takes quite a bit of time to get everything just as you want it though I find.

    Last ditch try before you wipe. See if SD Maid on the Playstore/ApkMirror will run and detect abandoned files from removed Android apps.

    This is very weird. I've put an autoloader on it and installed loads of apps from Google Play and BBW but eBay will not install from Google Play.

    I tried SDMaid but it says it doesn't have correct root access.

    I feel a bit silly! The version in eBay in Google Play isn't for our old Android run time. I thought Google Play could detect the runtime and only offered apps that were compatible. Maybe I just dreamed it!?

    Anyway, version 5.0.0.34 from May 16 was the last version compatible for runtime 4.2 according to this:
    https://www.apk4fun.com/apk/92438/

    Hope this is helpful to someone on here. It's taken me hours and a wiped phone to work this out! D'oh!

    Play Store always downloads the version that fits you OS version and your chip architecture. There are no exceptions.

    Sorry to be a pain but would you mind trying to install the eBay app from the Google Play store yourself?

    I revisited this problem today as I had a message from eBay warning that I was using an old app and suggesting that it would stop working in 2018.

    I could not download from Google Play store (round and round: click install, asking for permissions acceptance, downloading file, ...).

    The only one I can install is from the APK pure link in my earlier post.

    I agree with your statement about the Play Store only letting you download the correct APK to go with your OS, chipset, etc. I just wonder if the information about eBay is somehow wrong?!
