-
Eamil (@Eamil42) reported@Food4Dogs @Forest_Reviews I bought my PS5 after the PS5 slim was out. I went out of my way to buy an original edition with a drive off ebay because I'm not buying a console with a removable drive that can be bricked if a server dies.

Dezo (@0xDezo) reportedCHINESE DEV PULLED $2,140,000 RUNNING AI ON 200 DEAD LAPTOP BOARDS HE BOUGHT FOR $27 EACH Intel Core i5-10210U. 4 cores, 8 threads, 15W TDP. Whiskey Lake, 2019. Salvaged from broken IdeaPads on Yahoo Auctions. Most makers wait for a used 3090 to appear on eBay. He soldered a rack of laptop guts and let it hum. Pause at 0:12 — Core Temp reading 15 watts across four cores at 100% load, no case, no fans. The moat isn't a datacenter. It's a spool of dead laptops. Full swarm in the video below.

Jennifer (@Jenocidal) reported@Larnu_UK I just going to preface this with **** is legal here. Now I’ll look down. Why didn’t I think to look down for the eBay source code…:p So, I’m going off this post and others similar. Hope you get one of the reservations people are cancelling!

Gordon Hudson (@gordonhudsonnu) reportedHere is a thought about security and mobile apps. Most apps we use are actually fixed web browsers (Ebay, Amazon, Facebook, X, Banking apps etc). These apps require a lot of permissions and have a lot of trackers. If we accessed those via bookmarks on a privacy focused mobile web browser like Brave or DuckDuckGo we would require fewer apps and we would have more control over what data was being shared with those companies. The only down side would be lack of notifications, but I think for many purposes this is a more secure way to use these services.

Robby Richardson (@robbyrichardson) reportedWill need to shut down my eBay store for 8 days and pay a heap of cellular data overage charges
-
Rafi (@londravenezia) reported@GBNEWS Maybe if charity shops didn’t price their items so high they wouldn’t have to close down. The charities also sell lots on eBay so probably they no longer want to deal with the basic mundane stuff
-
tridentxan (@tridentxan) reported@Damnitbobbywhy @Jesster017 @funkofinderz There’s more than enough. The problem is scalpers knowing how to bypass online limits while also using stupidly expensive bots and paying off employees and vendors for backdoor access and/or insider info to know when they should camp outside the store for the good stuff. Not to mention the employees and vendors keeping restocks from customers and buying it themselves. It’s just all getting bought up by people who don’t know anything at all about Pokemon except what Charizard, Pikachu, Gengar, and the Eeveelutions are. The core problem is that there isn’t any anti-botting measures and no one reporting backdoor / information bribery schemes, let alone the existence and implementation of ID verification by DL number. It’s sitting in Edgar and Kyle’s garages in boxes 4-5 stacks high and wide as they post them up on marketplace and eBay.

JD (@Jh2059) reported@WaxMetrix @eBay It is absolutely insane to me that this is still an issue. @natsturner wtf is going on here? I know eBay calls some of these shots but cmon man
-
George Broussard (@georgebsocial) reported100% terrible for consumers. Pay the same lose everything. No collectibility, no sell to eBay, no garage sale, no loan to friend, no long term preservation without piracy/hacking. Just awful.
-
Ozone (@OzoneMeccanoid) reported@PersonaSpeaks No. They don't. These are deceptive stats to serve their gaslighting you fell for. The huge resell market makes up a massive part of games sales that are not shown there like eBay and the thousands of resell stores worldwide, not to mention all other issues of locking up games.
-
Corey Galloway (@CoreyTG21) reported@WaxMetrix @eBay You would think @natsturner would care enough about the industry to fix this massive problem.

SlabSquatch Sports Cards (@WaxMetrix) reportedFun little update for anyone who saw any part of my Ebay authentication shipping saga. Quick recap: I received a 2025 Topps Chrome Platinum Jose Ramirez Red Prism that got dinged after partially sliding out of the semi-rigid inside the fancy little eBay authentication box. @eBay bot jumped into my post and told me to contact them, so I did. Started in chat. Got bumped to a supervisor pretty quickly. She asked if she could call instead of chat, so we did. The fact they quickly shuffled me to a non-outsourced individual is an indicator that they might actually be taking this seriously. Honestly? It was a really good conversation. I stressed how severe this issue is, how common it seems to be, and how wild it is that eBay/PSA hasn’t addressed it yet when the fix seems incredibly simple. Just secure the opening of the semi-rigid with a sticker. That’s it. Desiree was extremely helpful. She said she’s familiar with the problem, understands why it’s frustrating- for us as well as her team, and promised to get it in front of the right people. She even notated my account info and said she’d like to call or message me if/when she gets confirmation that the process has been fixed. She also credited my account roughly half of what I paid, which was honestly more than I expected considering there’s technically only a 3-day claim window and the card arrived June 30 while I was out of town. So, for my specific situation, I think they handled it fairly. Big picture, I sincerely hope this turns into an actual process change. Add a sticker. Add tape. Add literally anything that keeps the card from sliding out of the holder during shipping. It just seems so simple. If this happens to you, I encourage you contact them within 3 days of receiving the card. And have photos ready. The more people they have to refund for this, the better chance we have of an actual remedy. If Desiree follows through and I get confirmation that they fixed the process, I’ll be genuinely happy to post that update. Come on, Desiree. You got this!

kakuu (@kakuu2023) reported@AskeBay @ebay I need help with a serious issue. A refunded order was later delivered with the same tracking number, but it contained a completely different item. The automated assistant cannot resolve this. Could you please advise how I can contact a human agent by message
-
Josh (@jjchmiel78) reported@FamicomVinnk There are certain runs that have this. For example BMW Films The Hire. 2 of my friends & I got the DVD at a car show & I have tried 3 different orders off ebay. All of the discs have playback issues. I want a really good copy of those videos with the 5.1 sound but I can't find.
-
SlabSquatch Sports Cards (@WaxMetrix) reported@skol4L @eBay I wonder what it will take to fix this. It's almost like they don't care.

mukh (@noMukh) reportedjust created an agent with 3.14 seconds worth of d11a1 and the first thing it tried was searching for IBM 355 on eBay to cut itself down to 1 second
-
Patrick J Kennedy (@Patrick1Kennedy) reported@MichaelCade1 It is rough out there. We are having a crunch on DDR5-6400 RDIMMs in the lab. 18 months ago, we would have just bought 24-48 of them on ebay to fix the crunch. At $2K/ea that is not really practical to get 1-2 more systems testing in parallel.

Not So Blinds (@notsoblinds) reported@ebay actually it could be interesting if he’s like a secret CEO Like as long as u don’t want to admit it bc then u can hire a stripper and have them take they’re shirt off and he’ll just nod and smile at whatever u want He even knows about his Problem so he kinda expects it
-
Dmitri (@dmitriforge) reported@ShikoyeniJay usually have to scour abebooks or ebay to track down the out of print ones

ShadowBat 🇱🇧 (@mediafanatic25) reportedAll of you keep trying to put me down and make me feel bad and insignificant for my collection size, and keep trying to press me to say I have more digital than physical. You mfs will not gaslight me into thinking I’m not a physical fan when I have way more of discs than digital titles and I will keep buying discs as much as I can overtime, I’m always on the lookout for sales from brick and mortar retail or Amazon or eBay or marketplace, I’m never gonna stop owning more discs even after 2028 so **** all of you abusive mfs once again 🖕
-
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.
-
Noah615 (@NoahJ615) reported@IndependnTexan That’s the issue. Right now, if I don’t wanna pay full price for god of war ragnarok, I can go to target, Best Buy, GameStop, local game stores, eBay, etc. and have a chance to find it at a more affordable price. Digital completely removes that option as codes don’t go on sale.

Michael Van Hecke (@MTVMikeSC) reported@Ob1JohnKenob1 @eBay Also I bought a low dollar hank card. Shows it made it my town. I have never received. So of course I filed a no show claim. Lack of good postal employees is the biggest problem we have as sellers and occasionally buyers.
-
Patrick Addington (@patadd93) reported@WaxMetrix @eBay Yeah eBay is terrible. I sold a higher end card on there and the ***** authenticating it screwed the card up then blamed me and said I should have listed it in excellent condition. They also refused to look at the pictures I took of the card before being shipped to them.

meg (@skywalkeryaoi) reported@brikenobi also want to let you know this sent me down an ebay spiral where i went looking for those old mcdonalds glass cups of the muppets and shrek
-
in1out2hitting3 (@in1out2hitting3) reported@eBay your customer service for sellers is terrible. No one can answer me or tell me why I am getting g charged 6$ every month for 1 listing and I can’t remove the listing to get the charge removed… and when I submit a request you just ignore it…never approved this charge!

Howaboua (@Howaboua) reportedSo I made some questionable purchases. Don't sleep on ex-biz refurbs/2nd hands. Worth reading if you think PC hardware is expensive. Mini pc server going from Intel 6th gen 4c4t 12gb ddr4, 256gb to a 6p8e cpu, 16gb ddr5, 512gb from Q1 2025 for £390 (sic!). Imma trade in the stick and max it out to 64gb ram, 2nd hand oem sodimm. I plan on running 3ish Claw-likes on it, a windows VM, a local ERP system and databases (I sorta started working for my mate's software company - I'll tailscale it out to him so we can run coding agents and ****, have the Claws run the company admin, another Claw for my freelancing and another one for PA purposes) I also got tired of my old but trusty Thinkpad x13 8gb ram (soldered) 6c12t 256gb (it's trying, bless it, but it overheats and the hoops I need to go through for Chromium to behave. side note, also post-biz 2nd hand I got for like £220) to a... T14gen1 4c8t, 48gb ram (WTF), 1tb ssd (WTF) for £570 (WTAF). Yeah it's old. But it comes from an ebay seller that sells loads of thinkpad components. They probably know what they're doing. This one is a crossgrade, as the CPU is worse, but it's my BS machine for youtube/browser/ssh - I know what I need from it. Obvs, 1tb is gonna land in the server. Again, there are millions of unwanted post-deprecation PCs that all have very random decent specs. What they do not do is run any GPU workloads (AI or gaming) so nobody wants them. I swore to myself my current big desktop is gonna be my last one (5800x3d, 32gb ddr4 3600 ram, 1tb ssd, rtx5700, great mobo, fancy PSU, noctua fans, the full shebang). It just makes no sense. Just get a somewhat decent 2nd hand office PC, upgrade the ram, get an oculink card or smthg, and trade it in for a newer model every year or two. It will cost you, as you see, £390ish, they will buy it back for probably £200+, unless prices spike up even more, and you never really risk it breaking down (5 year warranty and these PCs have been used on office tasks, 40 hrs a week, which is probably less than us nerds run ours, same goes for the laptop, it was probably used very casually). You absolutely do not need the top of the line hardware, a mac mini or any other crap that people are telling you to buy. Obvs there are use cases when this isn't going to work - local AI, compiling heavy stuff (unless you wanna wait), gaming... And I understand for some this is still a lot of money. But compare it to the "I need an Apple computer" mentality and suddenly it's fish & chips money. And yes, you bet I will be trading in my current gear to fund the max-out-RAM upgrades, it will just about cover getting 64gb ddr5 sodimms. Anyway, just yapping. Hope this helps someone. You can absolutely get the job done on the budget, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

sierra renee (@juujuumama) reportedi don’t know what possessed me to make a hot rod-inspired collage recently, but i quickly realized i had almost no source material with vintage cars. cue me falling down an ebay rabbit hole… these late 70s hot rod magazines showed up today and i’m completely obsessed. i’m not even really a car person. i’m just hopelessly drawn to old printed matter… they feel like little time capsules. one of the weird things about being a collage artist is that sometimes i buy vintage magazines specifically to cut apart… and sometimes i open them and immediately decide they’re too beautiful to destroy. i think a few of these are staying in the collection forever.
