    doesn'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.

    @Catscollecttcg Not sure if it's a USPS issue, but one of my orders in eBay still says USPS is awaiting item after departing shipping partner facility lol

    @PoliteDKnight @eBay @eBay you should make this right. Give this person their money back and let them keep the card for the trouble you caused.

    @spideygalsolo I got mine on ebay! they're the brave new world & you and thunderbolts & you jpn exclusive plush so unfortunately they're very overpriced for what they are. I only ended up getting them bc they stopped trying to sell bucky for 100usd LOL so they'll probably continue to go down

    Thanks a lot, jerk hole! I went looking for this book on eBay and I fell down a rabbit hole where I spent over $50 bucks on Mack Bolan novels.

    @WeebyRevy My old OG XBox and PS2 had their lasers break. At that point, I sold them for dirt cheap. I imagine these conversions are often-times broken units bought for pennies on the dollar from EBay.

    @PlushSonicReal Whenever you see an almost broken 3DS being sold on eBay or Facebook, this is what the previous owner treated it like lmao

    @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

    @TugboatPhil @freddavelynn Years ago I bought several years issues of the American Rifleman magazine from the 1950s & 1960s on ebay. None of the mail order ads had zip codes.

    @RohanKarMooN rule of rose went down massively, there was a warehouse in italy which had 100s of sealed copies. put them on ebay and they crashed overnight, its more 200ish sealed.

    @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.

    @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.

    @PoliteDKnight @eBay I would use GameStop and ship directly to PSA from @gamestop . Never have a problem this way.

    @IntlStacker Or better yet, stop buying on eBay altogether. That's where people are getting fleeced with these scams. Just stick to buying from licenced, reputable bullion dealers and you won't encounter this problem.

    @Matt_Rellihan @LastPackMojo I get it. I sold on eBay for years, and its a very nice touch. Of course you want buyers to come back, but people are looking on eBay for cards they want, they arent looking for your store. Returning buyers in the sports card world is rare, especially on eBay. Its more work than what its worth to put the notes in. It happens, sure, but the time you spend doing that isnt worth the number of buyers that will come back. Most buyers just want their card wrapped safely. Even then, they will give you good feedback but not remember your store the next day. Their isnt a way to "favorite" stores on eBay, only to "follow" it. So unless buyers write down and take note of your store name, they dont know which store is yours and will not come back just based on that fact alone. Ive had sellers that I loved and wanted to buy from them again but couldnt find their store the next day because I didnt write it down, and even then, eBay makes it very difficult to search for a store name (yes, I know, its dug way down in the search options). Selling here on Twitter is much more likely to have buyers come back because you can create a personal relationship with them. eBay is by nature not personal, and the note doesnt make a difference. 99 out of 100 buyers wont remember you the next time they are scrolling ebay for their favorite player. They look for teams and players, not your store. You gotta catch their attention other ways. What a personal note DOES do is take a potentially upset buyer and make it difficult for them to leave bad feedback. So maybe it has its place....but unfortunately very rarely will it ever help a buyer find you again.

    @harkl_ That’s Solana’s problem right now and probably the reason we’re witnessing the lowest organic activity I’ve ever seen. Normal users pay for the mistakes. I’ve always wondered why successful web2 eco systems, eBay, Amazon prioritise buyers (users) over sellers (builders) while blockchains adopt an inverse strategy

    @BringBackBanjoK @Vexinator The problem with sites like ebay is there is a substatial risk of counterfiets.

    @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?

  • BTCMilk

    the problem isn’t a lack of long term projects it’s a culture that punishes short term attempts in every other industry people try, fail, pivot, and try again steam games etsy shops ebay sellers no one questions their morals for it but in crypto? a founder tries to make money fails and suddenly it’s not just a bad product it’s “they’re a bad person” that’s not accountability that’s character assassination i’m not saying you should blindly support everything but if people can’t even try to build, sell, or market without being labeled why would anyone serious stay here? people say the wrong things people make bad trades but turning every mistake into a moral judgment kills more builders than scams ever will this space was built to experiment to repeat to get it wrong and try again not to be perfect on the first try you don’t build strong ecosystems by punishing failure you build them by letting people improve

    anyone who is selling the aranara pet code for more than $25 needs to fix their prices because that's ridiculous. most are selling them at $15-20. anyone that says to dm for the prices are going to try and upsell you. i found one at $17 on ebay thank gods. (link in replies)

    eBay proving yet again why they are the worst company to sell on! Buyer opens a claim that they didn’t get their package, tracking shows delivered. eBay agrees and says they got it. Customer opens chargeback for empty item eBay says customer is right! What @eBay is terrible!

    @premiercards_2 I’ve never promoted my listings and I don’t seem to have any issues on views. I’ve thought about it but never tried it don’t see the point when my cards normally sale within a couple days of listening. I am a eBay OG though and have been on there for years and don’t know matters

    @Richard_Colo @eBay I’ve had so many @eBay issues being a seller similar to this, was a seller since ‘05 and walked away due to unfair treatment of sellers and piss poor customer service.

    @MeaCulpaaa What type of battery is it? I have 3 Yamaha Ebikes and they all work great. I did have a problem with one battery failing after a year but it was replaced under warranty. I also bought a used battery on Ebay for £100 which works great, there are some bargains out there.
