  @Deliveseyye Called 1-800-332-0317. From the conversation with the person I spoke with it appears this is a GROWING problem. Angry because I am dependent on the customer's honesty to know if delivered or not. Even if received they couldake a claim with Ebay I will have to refund them!

  @conquistadorof1 @brad_polumbo I apologize for stealing your car and breaking it down for parts. Now back to the eBay listings. Saying you, or your society, has done something wrong and not ACTING to fix it is useless grandstanding.

  An Open Letter to the United States Postal Service Dear USPS, Thank you for changing your shipping rates again. We sellers were becoming dangerously comfortable. Some of us had gone nearly two weeks without rebuilding our shipping calculations, changing listing policies or trying to explain to buyers why mailing a pair of jeans now requires a degree in advanced mathematics. Fortunately, you have rescued us from that stability. On June 22, you suddenly lowered Ground Advantage rates for many packages weighing three to five pounds. It was a strange decision that made some heavier packages cheaper to mail than lighter ones, but we foolishly assumed there might be a plan behind it. Then came another collection of rate changes on July 12. Now, effective July 25, you have raised those three-to-five-pound rates by ten cents—with roughly one day’s notice. Apparently, this particular increase didn’t require the usual public rate-change process because it involved special USPS Connect eCommerce pricing. That is a wonderfully convenient arrangement. You can call something a “negotiated discount,” alter it whenever the wind changes direction and leave eBay to tell sellers after we have already priced thousands of listings around it. Very clever. The ten cents isn’t the real problem. The problem is that nobody running a business can depend upon a shipping system whose prices are apparently being adjusted with the same careful planning used by a gas station changing the numbers on its roadside sign. Sellers need predictable costs. Buyers need understandable shipping charges. Marketplaces need enough notice to update their calculators properly. What we receive instead is another announcement explaining that yesterday’s rates are no longer today’s rates—but not to worry, because everything will update automatically. How comforting. Perhaps USPS could publish a schedule showing when it plans to reconsider, reverse, adjust, fine-tune or partially undo its latest pricing brainstorm. If no schedule exists, a spinning prize wheel would work equally well: Congratulations! This week, three-pound packages cost less than ten-ounce packages! Come back next week to see what five pounds costs! Rural ZIP code? Sorry—different game entirely! USPS is supposed to be a national delivery service, not an airline fare calculator. Sellers should not need to check postage rates every morning before listing an item, wondering whether the price changed overnight or whether yesterday’s “special discount” has quietly become today’s “small adjustment.” Please choose a rate structure, explain it clearly, provide reasonable notice and leave it alone long enough for the people using your service to operate an actual business. Or don’t. At this rate, we’ll probably receive another announcement correcting this one before the ink dries. Sincerely, An eBay seller who would merely like the cost of mailing a package to remain predictable for more than fifteen minutes

  @JaePatriot17 @NostalgiaYZ The lead is no problem. The "cassettes" are easy enough to treat lightly, and come up on ebay all the time anyway. (never had the need). The trickiest part is finding erasers that fit in the little metal holders. Too thick, and they crack the cassette top.

  @wntng426427 @ShitpostRock Only thing you really need to pay for after the ebay spree is your power bill, but just get an internship with this experience and ur good lol. Embedded Systems are fun, and getting an interview isn't terrible. But don't tell anybody or else we'll get more vibe coders!!!

  The pain points I hear from overseas Whatnot sellers: · Resellers on eBay have already marked up by the time they buy · Freight forwarders add cost and delay · They cannot read Japanese shop listings directly · They miss limited runs and campaign releases entirely These are Japan-side problems. They need a Japan-side solution.

  this gen i've noticed a lot of games run out of physical copies soon after release; only place to find them is resellers on sites like ebay while actual retailers will have run out copies. sony has been winding down physical copy distribution even before the recent announcement.

  I was shooting quick little videos on the phone for pieces I'm putting up on eBay today and before taking down the test track sections, I popped this $20 steam loco chassis on the track. I bought this with a bunch of random pieces a couple months back but hadn't run any of it yet. This chassis in N scale, tiny and light as a feather so I wasn't expecting much from it to be honest. I was kind of shocked that without any additional weight on it, it ran this well. As a nice bonus... it sounds great! Sound to me is a big deal with model trains. Too many are a bit screechy / grinding, etc. For me that really hurts the enjoyment. I'm sort of obsessed with the whole "model railroading is too expensive" thing I hear so often. Of course it can be, but a chassis like this, at $20, opens up so many possibilities. We'll be shooting videos on these low priced chassis and what they can mean for the hobby! I really was knocked out by this train.

  @BoCamaro @ItsJamesHall Some guy at the gas station tried to convince babseball cards are a great investment and he sold his truck and used the money to buy a **** ton of graded cards on Ebay. I just laughed at him. He couldn't even tell me Mark McGwire's rookie card year or what the Billy Ripkin error card had on it.

  Dear @eBay and @USPS I can not contact a human via eBay app. I sell a high volume of sports cards via standard envelope service via eBay. USPS doesn’t scan until not scan until delivery if at all. Which has ruined my top rated status and has opened me up to a high volume of item not received complaints. A percentage of which I suspect are fraudulent. Please advise. Ship with 1 business day service but I often ship same day. Why offer this if I’m gonna be penalized for things out of my control. This has only become a problem in the last few months. Please like and repost if you have had the same problem as a high volume standard envelope service user on @eBay .

  @joshuas430 @BosCardHunter I haven’t ever sold anything through eBay so I wouldn’t be knowledgeable enough to speak on it, on the buying end, I’ve been told about undisclosed flaws or problems which I don’t mind because I typically buy rare and unique items so I won’t find another. But it’s nice to know

  @DBankrichards Import has its own pros and cons The biggest disadvantage of imported cars in UK market apart from several other things is 1. Available of right part 2. Getting the car insured So if your imported car develop a problem which is normal for all used cars, when you drive into Lexus in uk to get the part, they won’t have and they cannot ride it for you And sadly you will not get parts on eBay. Even to change windscreen (general glass will not have glass for you) The second issue I know a car that’s been on sale for over 12 months now, not because it wasn’t sold. Different buyer came, made payment but they are unable to get the car insured, so they return it. And the insurance also tends to charge higher premiums for no reason on imported cars.

  @kylecordes @heynavtoor This is true as of 2025 for all new Chamberlain openers. 100% encrypted wireless. Anything labeled “Security 3.0” is totally locked down. I got the last Security 2.0 units my installer had in the warehouse earlier this year. You can still find a few on EBay.

  @Tari_fan29 That's good then, just make sure going forward to make sure people want to sell. I understand it's scarce, and there are really a lot of scalpers on EBay especially who sell stuff at unacceptable prices… a problem that can easily be avoided if Glitch sold MR merch still.

  I wonder many people have the south park the fractured butwhole kiosk demo out there a fundraiser was started but the eBay seller wanted over 1k for the copy. 🤔 If I manage to find it one day I will buy because I'm in a community where people have been trying to fix Dr Timothy's unlock and powers, he was gonna be playable and unlocked in a scrapped mission I forgot which one but he was basically ready but cut last minute, also there was a saw room for bring the crunch dlc. Also fun fact about playing as Timmy via modding his voice lines that you don't hear through regular gameplay play such as "got this for you" the clip below is some gameplay from my YouTube.

  I keep checking eBay and it’s so nice to see the DR ETB’s dropping like crazy! Down to $135 now with free shipping, love it! I remember looking about a month ago when Walmart did there huge drop to see if they would go down, they didn’t stayed around $200 But now I just wanna see them hit to floor @gamestop doing good for once, which is sad to say cause still $50 over MSRP… Y’all remember when ETBS like rage team were $40? Man them the days
