Comet (@cometwtf) reportedA company hated a tiny newsletter. So it sent the writers live spiders and a bloody pig mask. It just cost them $55.7 MILLION to say sorry. > Ina and David Steiner ran a small trade newsletter called ECommerceBytes from their home in Natick, Massachusetts, covering eBay and other online marketplaces. > In August 2019, Ina published a story about eBay suing Amazon over poaching sellers. > Thirty minutes later, eBay's CEO Devin Wenig messaged his communications chief: "If you are ever going to take her down now is the time." > The instruction to eBay's security team was even blunter: "Whatever It Takes." > What followed was a coordinated harassment campaign > The Steiners received live spiders, live cockroaches, a bloody pig mask, a funeral wreath, and a book about surviving the death of a spouse. > Pornographic magazines were sent to their neighbors under David's name, and their house was listed on Craigslist as a nightly destination for "swingers." > That same month, eBay's security director and two employees flew from California to Natick, followed David around town, and tried to plant a GPS tracker on the couple's car. > The Steiners reported the rental van's license plate to local police, which unraveled the entire scheme and brought in the FBI. > Seven eBay employees and executives were criminally charged; all pleaded guilty, with the ringleader sentenced to 57 months in prison. > Wenig resigned in 2019 but walked away with $17 MILLION in compensation that year plus a $40 MILLION severance package. > The Steiners sued in 2021. > This week, nearly seven years after it began, eBay and several former executives agreed to a final $55.7 MILLION settlement, $48.7 MILLION to the couple, $6 MILLION to free-press charities, and a public statement admitting the conduct was "wrong" and "reprehensible." A publisher wrote one story a CEO didn't like. His team sent dead spiders and a pig mask to her house. It took nearly seven years and $55.7 million to fix.

GUNNAR ♫⃠ (@LEATHERF4G) reportedi'm so tired of binder prices and not even the ones on ebay are cheap like what is your issue. you all need to **** yourselves and lower those god damn prices

Vikings95 (@Vikings95Cards) reported@NaNaNaNaB00BOO eBay autopay on auctions has kind of messed with that since payment is sent within an hour of ending. If they’re keeping all of the $ for both shipping costs, I’m expecting 2 packages with 2 labels since that’s technically what I paid for - normally this isn’t an issue with good sellers honestly.. this guy is a ghost

Logan McBride (@LoganM41818) reported@SWT_Channel That's true. You have to have a combination of used video game stores, websites like eBay, and yard sales. A lot of it does come down to luck. For example, a year ago I was able to find a CIB (map also included) PS3 copy of Red Dead Redemption for $5.

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ Corey ˖ ݁ 𖥔. (@coreysito_) reportedThe seller "doesn't take returns" but ebay says that if it doesn't get resolved by the 15th then I can actually get them to step in so I guess we have to wait it out. I might be down 35 dollars though deadass some of you ebay ******* need to be banned from having internet

evgeni malkin akgae (@genosprite) reported@sharkies71 proxying is not new by any means, she just helps find and secure cards for as cheap as possible. i paid roughly 375php (like £4) with fees, which is so much cheaper than i’d be able to find myself given terrible international shipping rates on apps like ebay

DGro (@DGro69634274) reportedI personally have received neutral feedback on eBay for shipping cards for $2 in a sleeve. In the photo I use the card is in a sleeve, is neutral feedback justified? *I recently got toploaders so this is no longer an issue*

MuchLove385 (@MakeitRain478) reported@metacolt1 @CardPurchaser That’s the problem with eBay lol and u can’t even leave the buyer a negative feedback to respond to that bs. Idk what ebay was thinking when it they took that option away years ago.

G-ROCK1021🎮👟 (@G_ROCK1021) reportedIf you selling sneakers on eBay and YOU DO NOT HAVE the original box or a box in general THE PRICE COMES DOWN! Stop being ******* stupid
-
Rov3r (@Rov3rRepo) reported@ObeanzCards @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser eBay support is worthless. I’ve had ample evidence that a customer purchased a car part from me and returned a completely different part that was broken, and they sided with the buyer. This happened literally 2 or 3 times so I just quit.

Sac Card Collects (@SacCollects) reported@connerbizieff @CardPurchaser He hasn’t paid for it. That’s my issue. Why does eBay tell me that he “can’t cancel the order?” It’s not like they’re going to force charge his card

Mike the Good Life (@mikelivinwell) reportedLife hack #2 to save money: Learn basic home repair. Most house appliances and units are simple things. Just a few parts. You can ask Chat for help with an issue you have. What I have seen is that parts become obsolete fast for appliances, as well as HVAC units. This is why your repair guy will opt to replace your used units instead of repairing them. But you can find whatever part you need, used, on Ebay. And very cheap. I replaced washer transmissions with used units. The main board in my HVAC unit. Etc. That board hasn't been available new for years now. If I had called an HVAC guy, the repair would have been a new HVAC unit. $5000 or more instead of the $90 I spent on that board. Start with the simple stuff. Water heater not turning on? Maybe it's just the igniter, a $15 part. Over the long run this saves you a lot of money. Invest that money. This helped me to retire early.

Not.A.Cat (@CryoChicken) reported@ValueAddedRS @heydomoshi eBay can’t predict **** because Ryan said he won’t back down. There’s nothing TO predict! He coming for yas!

Tina22 (@TinaMor11269495) reported@HarmeetKDhillon I stopped shopping at Amazon when they took down Parler. I can’t believe how much money I save. My moisturizer on Amazon is $75. I just spent $30 for it on EBay. You think that you’re saving money on amazon but you’re not. You’re also paying a yearly shipping fee.

Based Money Lich King 💀 (@BasedMoneyLich) reported@aleabitoreddit @Sofigoodboy GameStop. Few paying attention to it but the fundamentals have completely turned around. They are guiding to 600M EBIT for full year 2026. This is a company the market is valuing as a struggling brick & mortar retailer but they are not. The balance sheet is pristine, strong FCF, but their marketcap is essentially their cash value, the market is only assigning about 3B to its business (less than their revenue) and 5.9B to its cash. I think this is essentially a credibility/uncertainty discount because Cohen has been a bad communicator & diluted several times despite being a good operator. I also don’t think the market is assigning a high enough probability that a deal to acquire eBay gets done. The first proposal was framed as “half cash, half stock” but what Cohen explained on TBPN the next day was eBay investors would take half their investment in eBay off the table and roll the other half of their equity into the combined co equaling a 60/40 eBay legacy GME split. Also next day an article in a IAE business news outlet stated Cohen was tapping GCC sovereign wealth funds for funding. Finally, there was an odd leak of a potential all cash deal funded by PE for eBay on CNBC. Collectibles are huge and GME’s collectibles business is surging. Pair that with eBay the synergies are obvious. I believe GameStop is trying to build a vertically integrated collectibles business where they own the marketplace & the authentication layer. From their they’ll expand hard into Live Commerce and digital collectibles where publishers earn royalties on resold items (Cohen has laid this out in recent interviews) GCC sovereign wealth funds are investing a lot of money in gaming and collectibles right now, Saudi just took EA private for example. Their interest in funding this deal that everyone is ignoring is obvious. Finally, latest 13Fs rolling in are suggesting a pivot away from eBay into GME stock. GameStop is implying their valuation for a deal is 15B, or about $27.78 pps & that’s what they are being underwritten at. I believe he is raising 30B in funds for a combined company post money deal between 66B-110B, I don’t know the sponsor economics but I’m estimating that would work out to about $53-$129 a share. And that assumes a float of about 580M shares with PE getting more than just a 30B economic claim on the combined company. The rerate potential here is big and you’re buying GME for basically nothing down here. I’ve written about it in more detail below.

Sweet Trading Cards (@SweetTradeCards) reported@iwilldestroyuxx @GhostRunnerCard The lack of any update and staying as shipping label printed is absolutely USPS issue. About 5-10% of my shipments never get any update or get one upon delivery. USPS is providing updates to eBay on these orders. It uses a different system than their traditional tracking system but eBay isn't just making **** up.

Karama Ram (@Kramaramb) reported@VNDKFTW Yeah i do the same. I try to disclose most issues. But if the seal is intact and no dents, i don't disclose, even if the seal is slightly scratched. I sold my slightly dented AH etb for 10% under market on ebay. It is what it is.

TIFFANY FISHER ARTIST (@TiffanyArtist56) reported@AngryNetwrk One more thing I want to mention that you guys do not know about. I got caught by Rovio again and it’s due to the Commissions. This time I got DMCA’d by eBay where they took down my listing because it featured all of my Angry Birds custom plushies I made (which were not made for sale) and they think I was selling them which was not the case. I should’ve put disclaimers before it got taken down but eBay had limits that prevent me from editing the listing due to a good amount of watchers I had. Now the listing is just labeled as Tiffany Fisher Artist Commissions. And I didn’t use images of my Angry Birds custom plushies for it.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedA buyer walks in and you sell 30% under market — because the sticker is from last quarter. Built Pricepherd to fix it. It scans sold comps on eBay, Depop, Poshmark, Mercari 24/7 and auto-reprices inventory to live demand. Weekly margin reports. Category-shift alerts.

Charles Davis (@ARealStoner) reported@timburchett I should be able to put that up for sale on EBAY for about 5 miillion, 10 million if you ride it down lookout mountain.
