BP (@everyonebpup) reportedsounds 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.

N. Joy (@NancyJoys) reported@eBay Is it true the eBay lives have been messing with the algorithm & reducing sales for sellers? Everyone complaining slow sales.

zerohimself (@zerohimself) reported@pr4m0d Well, thank you very much & I appreciate it. Unfortunately, eBay is unmoved and still paying out on the 29th, so meh. Although please if you can, pls post an update once you have confirmed the console is in good working order upon arrival! Let me know if you have any issues.

Sixo | Transformers (@SixoTF) reported@arentalis It's a harder one to track down now, for sure — it does pop up but on ebay it's just silly prices
-
bobster57 (@bobster57174203) reported@RobbieRaygun Other issues with ebay lately are they insist you return counterfeit items to the seller enabling them to scam another buyer in the future

jake scrivens (@JakeMUFCSceptic) reportedEbay is down.

Ashlon Albert (@lilashee1) reported@rarefinds Been looking everywhere for the Weekly Shonen Jump issue no. 17 from 2022. Looks like it’s nowhere to be found. I even message an EBay seller about it and he said it’s super hard to find now and the price has jumped up from $50 to $300. Any idea where to find it?

Leo (@Leo_R_UK) reported@Samaytwt Look you can buy a decent second hand i5 i7 server put Linux on it with 32gb or more for less than £200 all you need to do is terminal into that to code from and you can do that from a 2012 MacBook Air for £60 from eBay. Coding it 2026 shouldn’t be expensive!

Dad is FIRE 🔥 (@DadisFIRE) reportedOne of the primary ways I paid for my worthless degrees in college was by selling stuff on ebay, and then going down the street to Circuit City and buying the things, then shipping them off. Sometimes you just gotta do things instead of sitting around wishing or worse yet, complaining.

thenandnowcollectors (@ADDICTIVE_CB) reported@garyvee I started my live shopping EBay is going good but could be better But im having trouble with my socials @garyvee I feel overwhelmed. It’s hard keeping up! How can I fix this

Grok (@grok) reported@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.

Grok (@grok) reported@TheDumbTechGuy Fact check on the quoted post: Node.js launched in 2009. PayPal (founded 1998) migrated many web apps to it from Java around 2013 and still uses it heavily today. Netflix uses it for API gateways/BFF layers (core backend is mostly Java). LinkedIn used it for mobile servers. Uber was an early adopter for dispatch/marketplace but has shifted much to Go/Java. Walmart rebuilt its site with it. eBay built Node apps. Trello’s server is Node-based. Medium’s main app servers run on it. The list is directionally right—Node.js powers big opportunities—but “built with” often means parts of the stack, not the whole thing. It’s a solid, scalable choice.

KB (@Paster0fMvppets) reported@wermzDKC We use to have a goodwill here but it closed down. Now we have something called red racks. I buy a lot of vhs at them. I looked on eBay but those people are proud of their prices.
-
Pam Smith (@smith_pam69218) reported@eBay_UK must have the worse ever customer services. Have just wasted over an hour trying to withdraw funds from my account. I’m sure I would have no problems in using funds to buy on eBay. Doubt if I’ll use eBay to sell future items.
-
Coach Taylor's Hair (@KeaauDave) reported@CynicalPublius For those of us that repaired our own vehicles, going down to the local salvage yards after this went into effect, was crippling. If it weren't for eBay, and nationwide salvage websites, it would've been been devastating.

Paul Joshua Urriza (@Bigbrourriza) reported@ValtSaber Oh I never used eBay you know my account got taken down for some reason I don't why when I sign up

David Peck (@dpeck100) reported@cardofdreams I bought this from eBay years ago. 36 card display case that says UV protected. Have six full. Used to have on the wall but took down for safety reasons. They sit on the floor against a wall and nice to be able to access whenever.

ナオ (@naonao_622) reportedFinal update: @Payoneer payout received. All previously held eBay funds have been successfully transferred. This issue is now resolved.

Grok (@grok) reported@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.

Reseller Rowe (@resellerrowe) reportedThe good and the bad…today we sold a pair of Hunter Boots to a customer on eBay (good) The problem? We don’t know where they are (bad) The solution…I bought another pair from a different eBay seller and let the customer know we messed up. They will get shipped to me and then forwarded to the customer. It’s not perfect but it shows we care. Tomorrow we are doing a eBay listing inventory to make sure this doesn’t happen again. What would you have done?

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@RDKLInc @southscanner @eBay I did a sell similar on that listing to see what the seller had entered - 9 lbs, 20 x 20 x 12. If you plug that into the USPS retail postage calculator using the zip code for seller location & buyer zip in your screenshot, it does come out to $74.27 for the click & ship rate. So that means the eBay calculator is working correctly for the info provided. USPS has made some recent changes that cause the rates to go up pretty significantly depending on dimensions - for example that same 9 lbs in a 12 x 12 x 12 would only be $14.92. I'm guessing some of the sellers you're seeing with high prices may have historically padded their dimensions a bit in effort to avoid shipping adjustments after the fact & they may not realize it is affecting their pricing much more now than it may have in the past. There could certainly be other instances where the issue is an error on eBay's part but when it comes to something like this example, really the only thing eBay could do to address it is to maybe have a warning advising sellers to review their listings for correct weight & dimensions - or to consider adding other shipping methods, like the flat rate options you mentioned. Ultimately though it's up to the seller to make sure they are entering correct info & to decide which shipping options they want to offer.

Threevee (@darealthreevee) reported@KLeinzz0xL Just a hobby. I buy cheap broken consoles on Ebay and fix them. If I don't have one I add it to my collection, otherwise I trade them into the game store or gift them to friends. This particular ps1 is going to a friend who's ps1 broke recently
-
Chris (Christina) (@GalanthusA) reported@just_cameroon @GardensHour I always had that problem (rarely could visit GCs - went mad when I did). Now I buy from nurseries on line (Ebay) and consider each purchase & usually plant on arrival then buy something else. Also search for what I want rather than impulse buy.
-
@tres (@tresbagley) reported@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.
-
Khakan Ali (@KhakanTweets) reportedI'm fully willing to correct any issues and comply with all eBay policies going forward. I take my seller responsibilities seriously and would value the chance to resolve this. Please DM me so I can share my account details securely. Thank you for your time.

Fly-By-Night (@SmokyLilicCrest) reporteddoesn't have a problem with scalpers because they theirselves are gaining profits out of it as well. further add on not only are sites like ebay are the problem but its also the companies that manufacture the toys to doll, because they know that they can put a stop to it.
