  @money_522 I have a garage that I stay in for 2-3 hours almost daily. It’s the only thing I can have any say over without debate. I buy old PC parts, attempt to fix them then sell back on eBay for a few extra dollars. Keeps me sane.

  @sanatani_sonu21 @RealTofanOjha This is a portable electric pipe cutting & beveling machine (for metal pipes like 304 stainless steel, ~57mm dia). It clamps on, rotates, and preps broken/ends for fast welding joins—no heat, super precise in seconds. Buy similar on Amazon/eBay/Alibaba: search "portable pipe beveling machine 2 inch" or "electric pipe cutter 57mm" (₹15k-40k range). In India, check IndiaMART for local stock.

  @RNFdowney @eBay and, no, a bid is not a binding contract when made in error. a binding contract requires intent. when you intend to bid 11.56 and not 1156, there is no contract when your bid is automatically raised to 25.77--regardless of any ebay policy. there was never any intent to bid that.

  The crazier part is TCGPlayer is so much worse. I went back to ebay and it was relieving, but still a big problem. TCGplayer is like 2 weeks after you mark as shipped or sometning. On TCGPlayer I constantly ran into liquidity issues and had more money pending than liquid.

  @pokemondealsuk @cppopscollect That's terrible, I know the entertainer do the toys in Tesco but I assumed the Pokémon stuff came via Tesco directly. The store should have stopped him from purchasing it all, you know that's all on eBay or whatever once he's home

  @thehaileemurphy Hi! You can buy codes on EBay at the start of every season for $20. TMobile users get it free and sell the codes - I’ve done this for 5 years now and haven’t had a problem. Great way to save money in the future :)

  @RippinCityCard @georgeinthecord @CardPurchaser There are all sorts of dumb things that are against eBay rules. Usually it’s only an issue if it gets reported. A seller who pulls this crap is also likely to block and report the buyer, then complain on social media about how unreasonable everyone is

  BP (@everyonebpup) reported 36 minutes ago

  sounds great on paper, but there's a detail: to get your game into the kids catalog, developers must now pay $5/month for roblox plus, pass id verification and enable 2fa. Roblox plus launches april 30. The kids system launches in june, subscription revenue flows first, child safety comes second. and the whole thing runs on facial age estimation that was publicly broken within days of launch. Kids drew wrinkles on their faces and got flagged as 21+. Someone showed a photo of kurt cobain and passed. parents scanned their own faces to unlock chat for their children, accidentally placing minors into the adult tier with full access to adult strangers. Age-verified child accounts showed up on ebay for $5. by q3 2025, users 13 and older made up 2/3 of roblox's 151 million daily players. This was never a kids platform in the way they marketed it. Split is roblox catching up to what the data already showed. meanwhile, 146 families are suing in consolidated federal litigation. state ags are lining up. tennessee's attorney general called roblox "the digital equivalent of a creepy cargo van at the edge of a playground" platform had years to build these walls. It took 146 lawsuits and a biometric pr crisis to make them move.

  @quinnysoda It’s OK it happens. I’m pretty sure if I do decide to get it down the line I can find it on eBay.

  @FlockMastaMon @CardPurchaser Happens on eBay sometimes too. I’ve gotten a negative review because a dude found a better deal on a card the next day and wanted a full refund, but I had already sent it to the post office and have a no returns policy. They like to take out operator error on the seller.

  @Royals_Cards I think eBay needs to change NM from “comparable to pack fresh” to something else. Terrible term to use, when many cards come out of the pack with a dent, ding, or scratch

  @renoipgp @eBay Thanks. Just saw your longer write up and was reading through it. I no longer see the automated feedback for the card. Does that mean the buyer realized the problem and has since opened a return / case?

  Bourbon Invesments 2 (@BourbonInvestm2) reported 46 minutes ago

  @renoipgp @natsturner @eBay Fakes are fakes and always going to happen unfortunately. I think the system works fine. As a seller that frequently sends to PSA I’ve been fine with all except 1. Where card was send clean zero issues perfect corners and suddenly I got a message from authenticator showing a damaged corner indicating they dropped it. But buyer and I worked together. I’m not a fan of complaints just being complaints with assumptions. I’m sure you that about it. So let me ask, how would You design this program to be better? Without loophole?

  @electrochairr You just convinced me to check eBay for MTMTE comics. Hopefully they have some reasonably priced ones. May have to pick up a couple issues

  @Catscollecttcg I’ve been using EBay since 2006 and haven’t ever had issues with sellers but then again I auto-select my sellers to be US/NA only when buying any TCGs even foreign language ones.

  @SeanieQdup @ShiningScience The story is real but from 2018, not recent. Jackson Oswalt (Memphis, TN) built a homemade fusor (inertial electrostatic confinement device) in his bedroom using eBay parts, inspired by a TED Talk. He achieved deuterium fusion at age 12 (technically, just before turning 13), earning a Guinness World Record as the youngest to do so. The FBI visited once with a Geiger counter to check for radiation leaks as a safety precaution—no raid, no issues found. The viral post and image sensationalize it; fusors like this are a known amateur science project, not "star power" fusion.

  Hi @eBay, another issue: an order shows as delivered but I never received it and can’t contact the seller. It’s been 6+ months. Please assist.

  @ClownWorld These are the same scum that try to talk me down on an item at my garage sale that I marked for $3.00-- like, "No, *******, you can pay the $3 or keep it moving." Because all they want to do is list it on eBay for more.

  @WeebyRevy To be fair, the console could be broken. My original Dreamcast won't play discs anymore. It was cheaper to buy a new Dreamcast (and I did) than repair my original one. A lot of people buy and sell broken consoles on Ebay to use for things like this.
