NVSportsCards (@NVSportsCards) reported@allset24 you could "fix" those 26,000 ebay listings with a relatively simple MS Excel formula and then re-upload with the Edit form in Seller Reports. Also, what do you do with duplicates? Batch number gets you to the batch, but then that doesnt allow for duplicate cards in the batch.

Sam | ABC Trading Cards (@ABCTradingCards) reported@TheMauiWowi For eBay standard envelope I just put a card in a penny sleeve, into a toploader, then into a team bag. I then put that into a small envelope then into a bigger envelope. Never had any issues with damages

NaysGameOpinions (@naysgameopinion) reportedDude, I remember when I was young, I used to be OBSESSED with eBay. Just now bought a game I've been looking for forever, CIB, with the registration card as well, and got the price down to $20...I think I might be getting addicted again.

Sir Nodebridge (@chessieowl) reported@Counterfeit_Rpt @eBay eBay turned counterfeiting into a revenue stream. Charge fees to prove items aren't fake. The bigger the fraud problem, the more they justify charging to fix it.
-
Syncr0 (@syncr0) reported@TonyClimate @eBay Open another eBay account and search for them. Maybe they’ve blocked you and have no other items for sale. If there’s a problem with the purchase eBay have to step in and fight your corner. You can contact a human. It’s one of the final options on a dispute. Search eBay forums

The Gerbil Horde (@Gerbil_Horde) reported@RickShielsPGA This is a problem when they’re passed off as genuine online. I got stung for fake P770s off EBay and have been fighting @PayPal for 4 months to get refunded. They’re very convincing fakes, just a few mil out here and there. #🐹

AmeriBrasilian (@AmeriBrasilian) reported@eBay After 3 exhausting days of attempting to solve an international shipping issue with CS, I am truly at wits end. I was told that an over $200 mislabeled item will not be returned so I can send it to the correct buyer AND I am going to have to refund the buyer?! PLEASE HELP!!

Try me ***** (@maniacthrow1) reportedRyan should make a new offer for eBay for 45 billion and the next time they say no it should be pushed down to 40 billion.
-
John Andrews (@johnandrews) reported@aakashgupta @barnes_law but it's worse than the Hogan case (who was both in trouble AND eligible for some forgiveness because of layers of deception around the cookie stuffing... his actions and the documented condoning of them by eBay supervisors). This Gates spawn may have used the deceit to mislead investors(!) which is much worse
-
flopper (@whoppermush) reported@younghavok I feel like it's just people talking about it online making fools run out to panic buy it. It's in stock for me literally down the road there's no reason these bottom feeders on eBay should be charging 100 quid
-
mars ➡️ 1000 Years in the Pain Cube (@catboiardee) reportedHey @ebay, how do I contact a supervisor or have your agents actually listen to me and escalate an issue? I already used your contact me page. The agents are sending me generic emails and flat out lying to me instead of helping me.
-
Alain (@alain_casaubon) reported@eBay Hi! My Mexican RFC tax profile was just validated, but my seller account is still stuck with a 20% withholding glitch. Also, your email support is bouncing my replies with a 'Connection refused' error. Can you please send me a DM to manually fix my tax rate? Thanks!

Rio Mason (@riomason2die44) reportedA Yale class that costs $86,000 a year is the reason Google, eBay, and every ad exchange on earth can price you perfectly. Yale posted it for free in 2008. Millions watched. Almost nobody used it. The professor is Ben Polak — Yale's former Provost, and one of the most-watched lecturers on the internet. His course, ECON 159: Game Theory, breaks down into a handful of ideas quietly running every market you touch. Dominant strategies. If one move wins no matter what your opponent does, take it. Everything else in game theory exists because this almost never happens. Nash equilibria. The point where nobody can do better by moving alone. Every wage, every auction bid, every market price you've ever seen is one. Auction design. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction. eBay is English ascending. Treasury bills are Dutch descending. Same math, different formats — each one extracts a different amount of money from you depending on which one you're in. Tit-for-tat. In Robert Axelrod's 1980 tournament, the simplest strategy on earth beat every complex algorithm entered against it. It's still why most stable business relationships work. Polak's one certain rule, repeated every semester: "Never play a strictly dominated strategy." Retail traders break it constantly — doubling down on a loser because taking the loss feels worse than the risk of losing more. The lectures are free. The problem sets are free. The equations fit in thirty pages. The math was never the moat. Sitting through 24 hours of it before you open a bid box, a terminal, or a negotiation — that's the part almost nobody does.

Danny Roddy (@dannyroddy) reported@anomalie_blue I bought a broken $2000 stingray in highschool off ebay and my parents freaked out and made me return it.

Highly Unofficial (@bootleg_elon) reported@JapanUncharted @Karai_Dan eBay peaked when it was the only marketplace… now? High fees + terrible shipping costs killed its charm. But GameStop buying it? Maybe they see a chance to revive retail—though that’d be risky. 📦💔 But has anyone actually enjoyed using eBay lately?
-
MariusGage (@For_Macragge) reported@Velrunar I can appreciate that, I do. I only order from the store if there is a queue now and even then it’s usually a shitshow, the last time was the Era of Ruin and we all know how well that went down. But I don’t think the majority go to scalpers, I don’t even think it’s close. They’re usually about 1500 books sold and barely 100 ever end up on eBay. No, I truly believe the problem is “I want a nice looking bookshelf” collectors. If we could some how only let people who read these books buy them they’d never sell out.

Chris Matthews (@ChrisMa87288807) reported@TonyClimate @eBay I've used ebay for 20 ish years with few problems. In the last month I've had 3 out of 4 purchases with an issue. All 3 have said item delivered with tracking details, but unable to provide delivery details. The money has always been refunded after raising a dispute. Annoying

Camo Aquaticus (@CamoDiver) reported@ThomBrady5 This is exactly what I mean by "vibes-based economics". You saw a headline and have repeated it endlessly without any attempt to understand the context. That restaurant was a failing "hole in the wall" business, run down and poor quality even by the low standards of the time, and apparently had several thousand dollars of outstanding debt as well. Total price including the assumed debt was about half of the national median family income at the time, and they got it on the cheap. It was an entrepreneurial risk, and most people in those situations don’t succeed. They did though, and managed to build it into a large franchise in a time when such things were just becoming widespread. The cost of a failing small business is always going to be much lower than a franchise, because the franchise has already done the economic heavy lifting and is providing a brand and blueprints and suppliers. Lower risk, lower margins, higher capital investment up front. Similar principle applies to the story about the $50 truck that you keep posting. The original poster said in following comments that it had some serious problems and needed work and parts, which obviously drags down market value significantly. It’s also worth pointing out that markets with high informational inertia (relying on ads in newspapers, word of mouth, or chance) tend to have larger price variance, especially for old or broken stuff. When you can’t just go on eBay or Facebook Marketplace and check used car prices within 100 miles, it’s easier to just let the neighbor kid have the old truck for the modern equivalent of a couple hundred bucks if he’s willing to wrench on it and replace parts. Highly depreciated vehicles that a young man can get for cheap and work on are still available, but the combination of mass immigration and “cash for clunkers” restricts supply. You need to stop cherry-picking anecdotes and pushing inflated victim narratives. It doesn’t do /our guys/ any good to become economically illiterate resentfuls, which just pushes them into an alliance with the Left.

I Am You (@IAmInfinite888) reported@TonyClimate @eBay You might have to start a small claims case to get their attention and then make a post about it and link them in your comments so they see it. All those companies are terrible when it comes to customer support.

OKlm (@O_klme) reported@TerpCards @EFCSankey @eBay I will appreciate any feedback or follow up please because it’s a terrible mess and I think they don’t know how to fix this… Thanks 🙏🏻

🍁TIAHumanEcho (@TIAHumanEcho) reportedlast 3 ebay sales were nothing but a hassle...all due to problems caused by ebay...**** that place i just deleted the other 9 auctions from now on its local sales only

blook✨ SAW MCR🖤 (@blookscastle) reportedhahahahahahha id like to remind people I have a kofi (eBay customer claimed something was in terrible condition and wants a refund when I MADE SURE it was in good condition)
-
Donald Ferguson (@HMRC4EVR) reported@dilophosaurid The Cardbot figures I've got off Amazon haven't had issues, but slower delivery. Re-check ebay, filtering 'US only' to see options. Fgures like Heavy Iron W (Blastrain to lesser degree) were higher on Amazon. Heavy W was $90 more than eBay listing that had import fees included
-
Canarbles (@Canarbles) reported@TonyClimate @eBay Recently I sold a tablet on @ebay and was assessed extra charges erroneously. With great time and effort I was able to speak with a person. The person did not initially understand the problem. As I tried to calmly explain the problem, without cursing or even raising my voice, the person claimed my tone was inappropriate and immediately disconnected. Apparently, Ebay service standards allow and tolerate this. Ebay does not give a damn about their customers and I will never buy or sell with them again.
-
Ry Brooks (@RyBrooks) reported@TonyClimate @eBay Persist. I bought coins from a seller that immediately shut down after shipping fakes. Ebay refunded my money.
-
bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reported@TheMagnifishit @DOMOCAPITAL Ha, yes we will! So I think it comes down to: $2B buybacks = 1.25x accretion per share eBay deal = ? Again they could do both, but after exercising their eBay position, they have roughly ~$4.5B left in cash and equivalents plus whatever they generated in Q2. So it’s not a lot given the grand scale of the eBay bid. But external debt and equity raises could change that consideration as well. Let’s see what happens.

Teds (@Tedtalks13) reported@SkyNews Retail is also heavily competing with Amazon: even down to bulk buying from Alibaba and selling on eBay; Society is a depression
