    @ryancohen Are these the issues you have been talking about. Bring back old school ebay and I would use it more. Terrible service!

    @pxisonedyxuth Ebay buyers can leave 1-star reviews for sellers like I mentioned. On Bunjang, I can't leave reviews for these transactions with disputes. So even the biggest scammers on Bunjang have 5-star ratings, or 4.8 at worst. These same sellers would get shut down on Ebay within a week.

    @CEOofEldin I was a bit bitter about it at the time but looking back it’s for the best because my sensory issues were so bad I couldn’t even deal with the sideswept bangs I tried. I ended up clipping them back until they grew out. Wait that made me think I could check ebay for them!!

    @pxisonedyxuth @Josyly The sellers on Bunjang are dishonest and rip you off. Try Ebay or some other platform even if you have to pay more. Bunjang is so terrible.

    @eBay That was the problem. Continuously getting a stupid automated service that didn't help and when I finally got an agent they talked like an AI too. Still not sure they were real. Go back to human interaction.

    Hey @grok, didnt ebay have this weird thing where they were threatening a critic and sending weird things to their home? cults like these where they try to frame people exist no? I really did have my passport photo taken by a known scammer while my back was turned at a medical dispensary. He did it on surveillance. Oddly enough - this guy is a millionaire, he just scams because he claims it's in his fortune 500 bloodline - he always says, "My dad didn't get rich being ethical." When I called him out last year, he doubled down on his harassment and even organized group chats to go against me and made a false claim that I stole $300,000 from him – which is clearly not true, because I am incredibly poor. Like can't even afford to take my dog to the vet poor. Is what I am describing real tactics used by criminals to get people locked up or framed ? Why would they try to open multiple accoutns in my name? Why send letters to me? Can you give me a detailed answer and some advice on what to do when the police move too slowly/not at all?

    @eBay_uk is eBay having problems. I gave not been able to see my account for a week. I just had a notification that an item sold. I cant even message the person who has bought it. It says technical issue and you are working to fix it.

    @BranaDane @eBay These fools think that AI is going to replace human customer service, what they don't realize is rather than deal with AI people will just leave. Who needs the grief and aggravation AI causes when a simple 5 min human interaction could solve the issue?

    If @gameinformer really has to rise the price on me, the least they can do is go up to 12 issues a year. Come on, it's already way too expensive. I only pay because if I rely on eBay, someone will demand even more money. But you really don't need covers that glossy.

    @GunHeritage People like this on eBay, Facebook marketplace, and gun broker. ridiculous prices. can buy a brand new for like $10 more. If I’m gonna buy your used crap that has no warranty, could be broken, and I can be armed robbed picking it up. I’m gonna expect at least a 50% discount.

    This dude has completely given up on running GME or any hope of resurrecting the business. He decided he wanted the eBay job instead. Now he’s just decided he’ll do the eBay job remotely. Dude try actually fixing your own business first. No one wants you to bring down eBay too.

    @gmac817 I rarely have any issues on eBay. I know im a relatively small seller compared to most though

    @zach_yadegari Most successful dropshippers are arbitraging a loophole and go well beyond "marketing". There was once this website BookDepository (since acquired by Amazon) that was offering worldwide "free shipping" but really just adjusting the price based on your IP location. Around 2010, I had an eBay store where I was dropshipping books everywhere in the world while buying them with a UK IP address. I needed 0 marketing: my prices were actually better than everyone on eBay. The platform itself was promoting me while I was also holding 0 inventory and taking a cut and I could barely keep up with orders. I was eventually shut down, these kind of schemes don't last. Don't actually do dropshipping lol it's more rewarding to actually build something new.

    @vladuhat999 @estratgen realising now like I just inserted the theme of gaming smh my bad but damn how common is that? ive picked up 2 ThinkPads from eBay with no issues (now that I'm thinking they ain't even got that bios) but yeah no doubt that's still a probable thing to happen

  • MikeDeGilio

    Following up on this. Despite @eBay refusing to do anything for the infinite people affected by this, you can and should go through paypal or file a chargeback with your credit card. Ebay said it's impossible to return it and refused any reasonable refund. Paypal/CC will force them to accept the return for a full refund if you provide photo evidence of receiving what you purchased damaged. Forcefully, get your money back from this trash company. Also, the return address is @PSAcard. Absolutely embarrassing that a company that specializes in the card market for 30+ years lacks even a basic understanding of how to ship a card so it doesn't get mangled. 6+ months ago they acknowledged this is an issue and would be changing packaging and still nothing has been done. Criminal levels of negligence and zero accountability unless they're forced. Change will come when we stop allowing them to say "I understand we damaged the card but I still think it'll get a PSA7, so it's exactly what you ordered" and force full refunds on every single bit of value lost due to their incompetence.

    @ShelleyJ1409 @X @Support It’s the nature of tech companies now, i spent an hour yesterday between online chat & the phone with ebay because someone is passing of my listing as theirs & they want me to jump through hoops to fix what is essentially fraud on their platform

  • Cardhedge
    Card (@Cardhedge) reported

    @ryancohen ebay has become pay-to-play. every listing effectively requires a promoted listings boost just to get visibility, yet there's no transparency proving that ad spend actually drives incremental traffic. on top of industry-high final value fees, smaller sellers without store subscriptions pay even more in insertion and per-transaction costs. consignment houses give you visibility, but most lock you into auction format with no buy it now option. the marketplace is broken by its creators' greed: fees are so high that your spread has to be enormous to clear a profit. you can't buy and sell the same item at the same price without losing a meaningful chunk to fees, shipping, and promo spend. if ebay lowered their fees and increased transparency, it would send the resale economy into a renaissance. categories like sports cards would become dramatically more liquid overnight, it's already an emerging market with a massive following, there's no reason anything needs 13% commission plus extra ad spend on top.

    @wealthrewired8 I would borrow £50. Buy five broken mobile phones on ebay and make 3 working ones, sell those on ebay plus the leftovers for parts. Pay back the £50, rinse repeat and keep going. How I started out aged 12 in business and it would still work today.

    @ryancohen Ryan Cohen dropping truth bombs again. eBay spent **$2.4 billion** on sales & marketing last year… and added basically zero meaningful user growth. Now they’re suddenly hiring a “Senior Manager of Marketing Effectiveness” to figure out where the money went? Classic corporate inefficiency. Ryan’s calling it out while actively pushing a **$56 billion** takeover bid to fix it. Shareholders deserve better than bloated spending with no results. 🦅🇺🇸✊
