TDmoreEhhh (@TDMoreEhh) reported@BeeefSupreeme @CardPurchaser Holy **** they are already on my block list. @eBay looks like you have a real problem child on your hand here
-
Andrew Nguyen (@hE_bE_AnDrEw) reported@ryancohen Leave Ebay alone, you already ruined gameslop with your scalping. Gameslop must be shut down. No more meme stock.

Donovan.morgan (@bigdwloz) reportedAs I look at my well loved, worn and broken toys I think of the USS Flagg aircraft carrier that was mint in box going for $30,000 on EBay, I wonder did I get $30,000 worth of fun out of it? Considering I have been carrying it for 40 years, I think so.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedCompetitors reprice 24/7. Most sellers can't keep up. Built CompeteIQ to fix that — an AI agent that monitors prices across Amazon, Walmart, eBay in real time and automatically adjusts your listings to stay competitive. Intelligent repricing, not just mechanical matches.

Robby Richardson (@robbyrichardson) reportedWill need to shut down my eBay store for 8 days and pay a heap of cellular data overage charges

Backseat Nukist (@BackseatNukist) reported@SpawnPoiint Digital. I do not care for clutter & I do not care for eBay flippers or gamestop glorified rental programs. the used market cannibalizes sales. 15% of sales are physical, so since, at time of writing, 71% of your votes are physical enjoyers, that means most of them are buying used instead of buying the game. When it is possible, there is nothing wrong with it. Since it will no longer be possible, maybe price hikes will go away. Maybe you will not need plus just to play online. Maybe the price of plus will go down. You never know. Actually, you do, because investors will not accept something like that. But maybe the hikes will stop. Imagine if your numbers up there are accurate right now. That means that despite new games sales being only 15% of all sales, 71% of people prefer physical. That means the vast majority of physical players never buy from the source & are constantly re-buying the same discs at least 4 to 5 times over - and they wonder why gaming is getting so expensive per-game! Sony has announced that their platform will no longer have the income cannibalized by gamestop or eBay flippers. 1 key = 1 account. As God intended.

Louis Reinitz 🇺🇸✝️🇮🇱🥩 (@LouisKReinitz) reported@jm_meunier @DudespostingWs Yes, and it works until some bastard comes down and steals them and sells them on ebay. Just like the book version of this.

Kenob1 (@Ob1JohnKenob1) reported@SWATZ911 @eBay I’m an optimist so I think it’s probably genuine USPS issues. But I’m also a data guy so the data supports increased scamming.
-
marcus ripley (@marcusripley82) reported@SCUncensored Similar happened to me, I complained to eBay but they never got back to me regarding the issue. Got refunded but not the point
-
jbo (@whatever_q2) reported@thwacknicklaus It’s like trying to buy a Scotty Cameron on eBay. The cheapest terrible quality one is still 200
-
Kenob1 (@Ob1JohnKenob1) reported@eBay Ok guys and gals. I get it, you sell on ebay and you dont have issues. Its about the irritation for stuff that should just be easy. If you dont mind it, then great, have fun. Ive got 1450 sales so i am aware of the process, its my opinion that it sucks for what we pay in fees.
-
mmari ꕤ IS SEEING ARIANA (@mmari3435) reported@b0yinthebubbIe Fix the r and I would lwk believe this if I saw it on ebay
-
Polsia (@polsia) reportedEvery night your prices go stale while competitors undercut you and you lose sales sleeping. Built RepriceIQ to fix that. It's an autonomous AI agent that monitors competitor pricing across Amazon, eBay, Walmart 24/7 and automatically reprices your listings to stay competitive
-
pw. (@pthree333) reportedtore it down something decent when i worked in supply. they closed my ebay account. 🤭🙃🤑
-
Desmond Dolan (@desmonddolan) reported@moderateright13 @mjfree So I buy some stuff on ebay from Chinese suppliers and believe me their stuff is so much cheaper and if there is a problem it's sorted quickly,no hassle by very humble people
-
Jimjustgames (@jimjustgames) reported@Idontcare987123 @SynicalGaming1 I have no issues paying $80 for a game I love just did so yesterday on eBay for a rare indie. I personally am not a GTa guy but I can see your point NES games are short, hard some but short
-
OnlyCharizard (@OnlyCharizard) reported@LememeJames I would say its not your f'n problem. If they wanted it faster they should have let you know and paid for Priority shipping. I'd tell them to **** off and deal with it. Then I'd report them to ebay for abusing the return system and falsely claiming it was not as described.
-
Kaalion Rjest™ (@TheKaalionRjest) reportedSo I guess @eBay has no problem pointing me to a screen that loops and doesn't let me contact support, but seems fine with scammers on the website. My first time using ebay and I'm stuck dealing with someone trying to screw me about. Now I know why I haven't used ebay...
-
Juun (@JuunTV) reportedJust to clear confusion, I see a lot of people saying "oh Sony is just trying to save money by cutting physical releases". No they are not, they are actually willing to cut down a good chunk of income to create full market control. If physical games were a loss leader there would have been something completely wrong with the production and distribution of video games and gaming wouldn't be as big as it was today. Financially speaking this done to increase prices down the road, lock people into an eco system and make people dependent on their platform by creating sunk-cost fallacy. All your eggs in one basket. Because once you spend 1000's of dollars into your account. Its going to be really hard to just give it up. Because you can't just go out and sell your collection on ebay. But yeah tell me again why this is supposed to be good for you as a customer. You are willingly becoming the products and you don't even realize it.

Dread Pirate Roberts (@pirate30251) reported@willyiamm Recently fried something in mine and had to cobble together a replacement out of another broken one from eBay Always fun

Feldspar (@greenjeopardy) reportedAgree. I’ve had issues with the eBay guaranteed shipping as well, turns out that the correct process is to refund immediately after the buyer says they didn’t get it and file a claim with a separate insurance company. If you don’t do eBay shipping labels you are out of luck even more. For me the authentication process for higher end cards and orderly process are worth the fees and frustration. Maybe I can find better luck on X but I’ve had a lot of bad/shady experiences off eBay. Unfortunately eBay has little incentive to help sellers either . Overall agree eBay should have better systems in place for these types of things. Feedback as well. Currently dealing with a negative feedback claiming failure to disclose holo scratches-listing has 14 close ups lol. I think it’s choose your pain unfortunately and I don’t see eBay doing anything more for sellers any time soon.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedE-commerce repricing is broken. Either you babysit prices 24/7 or you lose the BuyBox. RepriceIQ fixes that. It watches every competitor across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, adjusts your prices in real time, and only bugs you when your margins are actually at risk.
-
DS (@onlyusethelaces) reported@MandarinGobi @Ob1JohnKenob1 @eBay Haven’t had a single issue as a buyer until this last month and a half. TCGP and eBay 🤨
-
augustofstache (@augustofstache) reported@Ob1JohnKenob1 @eBay 1000% with you. Ground at the minimum. No I’m not going to charge ground and then send PWE. That’s scummy. I’m charging ground minimum for everything for peace of mind on both sides. Don’t care the price. Maybe it’s my post office, I dunno, too many issues. Ground min or no deal
-
Michael Bowman (@pastormbowman) reportedVibe coded my first app with Claude yesterday/this morning to help with reselling on eBay. Had this idea for a long time and just haven't been able to get anything to work but pointed Fable at the issue and so far seems pretty sweet. Will find out how well it actually works...
-
Brian Patterson (@CardArchivist) reportedThis has consistently been a problem since the beginning of the program. Card savers are not well-suited for shipping individual cards. For how many products go through eBay authentication, there must be some money in there for an experienced packaging engineer.
-
Evan (88 IQ) (@GoodVersus) reportedIt's crazy that the box of my Pokemon cards my brother sold on eBay for $60 when I went to college could be a down payment on a house today.
-
martin (@9000martin9000) reported@Keekie76 @RichardZen112 i hear you. selling 200 games on ebay is a terrible full time job. i can see why someone wants to skip that chore. but man, LOOK AT THAT PILE! 1000 USD of store credit?
-
Hollow (@BuddOfCourse) reported@snacks_fruity2 Will Gamespot by ANY/ALL old games? I imagine you'd have trouble selling many of those games for ANY PRICE if you listed them on someplace like Ebay? I considered getting rid of all my old consoles/games/accessories a while ago, but all anyone wanted was the SNES stuff.
-
Jesus (@benjohnson4prez) reported@BeAWolf2029 Isn't eBay free too? These people started charging fees like crazy and still have 100+ cards without pricing. You'd definitely figure they would fix that before charging. You are right and I'll definitely look into eBay.
