bad robot (@foxenflask) reportedBe Like Jamie Iannone, CEO of $EBAY - Slip, fall and land at Booz Allen Hamilton, the consulting firm of choice for people who want a prestigious first line on their résumé - Join Epinions dot com just in time for it to get absorbed into irrelevance - Spend eight years at eBay as a VP, accumulate titles, leave no memorable legacy, walk out the door - Become EVP at Barnes & Noble's Nook division, watch sales crater 61%, depart with two other senior executives just before the full reckoning arrives - Get promoted to COO of Walmart U.S. eCommerce, hold that title for three weeks, jump ship to eBay - Become eBay CEO in April 2020 on the strength of a collapsed e-reader division and a month of Walmart COO experience - Coin the phrase "tech-led reimagination" and repeat it for five years - Inherit a campus pub called "The Sellar" serving free beer and wine daily from 3 PM to 6 PM, built at company expense as a replica of your predecessor's favorite Manhattan bar, inside a company whose culture federal court documents described as one of "heavy drinking" pervasive throughout the workday - Inherit the fallout from your predecessor's security chief, Jim Baugh, ex-CIA operative, who ran a terror campaign against newsletter journalists involving live spiders, cockroaches, a fetal pig, a funeral wreath, death threats, pornographic magazines sent to neighbors, and a 3,000-mile surveillance drive to Massachusetts in a black van - Watch seven eBay employees convicted, Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison, eBay hit with six felony charges and the maximum $3 million criminal fine, ordered to address "consumption of alcohol to excess on Company premises," and keep The Sellar open anyway - Watch the victims settle just before trial after seeking $466 million in punitive damages - Collect $144 million in compensation over six years, never buy a single share of eBay stock, and execute 53 insider transactions, all sales, offloading $71.59 million in gifted shares - Redefine GMV, call a $13 billion annual impact "immaterial," then when restated buyer figures still look bad, stop reporting active buyers altogether and pivot to metrics you define and control - Preside over 16 consecutive quarters of active buyer counts below Q1 2018 levels, watching the total fall from 163 million to 136 million, padding that last number with 1 million acquired via Tise - Raise seller fees every single year, build ad revenue to a nearly $2 billion annualized run rate by changing attribution so one click triggers fees on every subsequent sale for 30 days, sending seller ad costs from 30-40% to 80-90%+ of sales with no increase in actual returns - Mask GAAP operating margin declining from 37.6% in 2020 to 20.8% in 2025 by always leading with the non-GAAP figure, making the business look 5-6 points healthier than it is - Lay off 500, then 1,000, then 800 employees while your own pay grows - Acquire TCGplayer for $295 million, watch its employees unionize, hire a union-busting law firm, strip workers' rights language from your own human rights policy, lose every NLRB case, and only bargain when legally forced - Acquire Depop for $1.2 billion, a company losing $54 million on $128 million in revenue that Etsy already wrote down by $425 million, call it a Gen Z strategy, ignore Morgan Stanley projecting it won't break even until 2028 - Sell 343,000 banned emissions defeat devices and 23,000 illegal pesticides years after federal cease-and-desist orders, then schedule a sustainability media blitz the same afternoon the DOJ files suit - Have Ryan Cohen and $GME offer $125 per share, a 46% premium and an all-time high valuation, and reject it as "neither credible nor attractive" while margins decline, buyers leave, and your latest acquisition loses money - Have Cohen note you took $144 million and bought zero shares while he invested $128 million of his own money and draws no salary - Call it a comeback - Keep selling your stock 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reportedInteresting..."Fulfillment by eBay" has been tried several times before & failed - mostly because they were too focused on trying to chase Amazon/replicate FBA but with 3rd party partners, which was a mistake. There are certainly some categories/types of sellers who could benefit from an eBay version but by & large it's not something I see many sellers clamoring for today. Currently eBay is focused on making shipping another revenue path - for example, mandating C2C sellers in UK & Australia to use on-platform purchased labels where eBay pockets whatever discounts they might have in rates. Personally, I'd like to see eBay first focus on negotiating better rates and/or sharing more of the discounts they already have to help bring costs down & drive more sales long-term for those already doing their own fulfillment. But that doesn't mean some kind of FBE offering couldn't make sense or be valuable for at least some segment of the seller-base - if it's done with actual seller needs in mind rather than being designed as just another fee trap.

GME DaLoot (@gmeorbust0) reported@MomchilB @unusual_whales if u actually look at the numbers its far from run down and actually profitable with $9b in cash. so i think hes earned every right to call ebay board greedy losers
-
Drunk Superman (@DrunkSuperman3) reported@larrykingundead @Wozniat I don't know how many people thought Superman was going stay dead. But i remember people who thought that issue was going be worth big money. And you get a sealed black polybag for 20 bucks on ebay today. lol.

Bitcoin Dumb Money APE (@BTCDumbMoneyAPE) reported@ryancohen Please fix the seller fees! They are too high and it’s driving people crazy. Make eBay Great Again! 🇺🇸💰😎
-
IMAYSELLIT (@imaysellit) reported@btc8500 @eBay_UK @eBay I had the same problem so I started using imaysellit its a much easier process and fees are a lot less
-
Adam Neville (@AdamNeville) reported@SophiaMyles @YouTube Tracked it down on eBay eventually.
-
Sandman Slabs (@SandmanBen) reportedAnyone have an issue where your eBay listing is getting 0 views, but an exact same listing from someone else has tons of views and watchers? Mine is showing 0 viewers and been up for over 24 hours. Doesn’t even show in the search. @CardPurchaser
-
FreeMenDieFree (@FreeMenDieFree) reported@ryancohen I started a small trading card shop on eBay a couple years ago. Was doing alright as far as sales but stopped and shut it down because of eBay’s insane fees. I hope this goes through because I’m confident @ryancohen would turn things around. #MakeEBayGreatAgain

Scuba diving (@JoeToronto) reported@alt_w_v_g They've also lost buyers and sellers who were just there for the hobbies . Creating problems for everyone is deceiving business practices What @grok think about the ebay post and where can you sell the used laptop now?
-
Elvis (@Godstimelvis) reported@Dexerto The $1,800 eBay listing is an outlier for a super rare sealed copy, but the point stands, even a standard used copy is pushing $300+. The market is completely broken for international fans.
-
Silent_Stevie 🏴 Dieu et mon droit (@Silent_Stevie) reported@celtic_jaime Love em, my grandad used to keep his nuts screws bolts everything in them. I’ve kept the ones that were handed down to me and surprised to see they sell for a small fortune on eBay. Brings back memories of better times and a happier England..
-
The Rose (@The_Rose_Gaming) reported@Stonkfather2021 they offered a combined $56B in cashes and gamestop stocks. ebay turned it down earlier this week. By your math, gamestop was willing to overpay for ebay and they were still denied.
-
SeaSickMutant.eth | revolt.eth (@SeaSickMutant) reported@prezmike25 @eBay @CardPurchaser Got it- but it still ships to the international hub…so is there any issues there?
-
fity.eth (@Fityeth) reported@NetAxisGroup If eBay is really worth fixing for 55B, the problem might not be the platform… it might be the people rejecting the check.
-
14.144 (@leikimiki) reported@punk9059 It's just a matter of convenience If the service is more user-friendly and actually solves a problem that eBay can’t, then of course it will be able to outcompete eBay
-
NewfieNaut (@NewfieNaut) reported@MTGSecretLair Well you lost more than my money now. All my money I would have spent on MTG going forward is gone as well. Waste time waiting to have the queue go up instead of down and all the eBay listings by scalpers. I am done.
-
Peter R Hann CFA, Goldbug Weirdo/Silver Freak (@PeterRHann1) reportedOk, I have to say it. I have issues with how Ryan Cohen has done things. The warrants are an example of that. But I do think he did spend considerable time planning out this Ebay proposal. Too many are laughing at him. This guy has a relationship with Carl Icahn. Do you not think Ryan had some deep thoughts on this with him? I'm sure multiple scenario analysis has been done. And for Chuck Gasbag to suddenly start talking positive about him and GME? Yeah, something is still coming.

☹︎ Lee's ■■■🦑 (@Rynisutoru) reported@chuuuves_ @jxnn_sh0z She would put X on ebay "kitten" for sale with a discount because it would crash your house upside down
-
🐀 (@NunTheWizer) reported@datznasty56148 @The_myspace_tom More than a grand by far 😑 Again, if this isn’t a bad joke / basic **** post, put it on Reddit Pokemon error cards to generate interest then auction on eBay. Then Venmo me $20 for the assist
-
NR_Garrett (@NR_Garrett) reported@texasbreakfast1 White rag to signal car is in distress and broken down (no tow) - $0.00 New fob from ebay - $89 Programming - $79 Done and done.

BIGNOAH 👨🏽💻 (@BIGNOAH256) reportedNah eBay really the goto. But I’d switch to search by region bc shipping itself is just terrible these days if the item far away
-
Nyteowl.eth (@Nyteowl_YT) reported@dutchdecrypto On chain is the way. But for selling ebay had massive marketshare. Would like to fix that with @chasehollowtcg
-
Wu7chamber (@wu7chamber) reported@alphafox @jo42993661 I started using @mercari_app in 2018. It's better and safer than eBay still, but I have slowly watched it turn and head down the same path. Fees rising, required promotions etc. I'm expecting by 2030 it will be just like eBay.

Baseball SZN イグナシオ (@igTXSalazar) reported@AstrosKnower He didn’t delist. eBay took it down because he doesn’t have an MLB’s permission to make caps.
-
Pokemaam (@poke_maam) reported@SomaInvGroup @Hellaorganics Wow realized they all got bought up last month lol although I thought they were obscure. Zero left on ebay. People really going down the rabbit hole
-
finley (@jscottfinley) reported@ryancohen My wife has popular collectibles listed with zero views bc she won’t pay the fee. Literally zero views Pls fire everyone at eBay immediately and fix it thanks boss
-
Scottie (@scott_wysocki) reported$gme I think scam Street has all this arranged. Push down the price of GME and push up the price of eBay to 125 where they can say to shareholders see, look you don’t need a buyout. The stock price is high right now. ceo should sell the 5 percent and make 2 billion

mikekevell84 (@mikekevell84) reported@yhessagonzales @PhantomBlack699 @eBay Ebay shareholders are the only ones to make money in the last month. Their stock is up. Ours is down.
