Devon (@Devon00541131) reported@Stalvey48 @benzos14111 Are you like the ******* mall cop of eBay right now dude? “Holy **** omg this absolute monster posted his eBay stuff on auction” Like what are you so obsessed about? It will go for the market value. Why is it the sellers you have such a problem with and not the buyers???

Hoops (@novaxnomask) reported@MTTrading2 @MeatballsRedux @eBay What's the issue?

Simon Ellison (@SimonEl43156310) reported@heydomoshi It only becomes a problem is the institutional owners of ebay are also short Gamestop. Then it becomes a math game, what is the gain in the ebay position vs the loss in their gamestop position... if they are in trouble with gamestop, I doubt the gains from ebay would cover it.

Please Unfollow (@RealMikeyBob) reported@EliteGolfDad The quick fix is buy last year’s clubs in mint condition from Global Golf on eBay. 100% legit and often 50-25% of the original price.

Pollak (@pollakrhmn) reportedIf you actually look at the math for a Pre-Errata Luffy, it’s insane. The average pull rate is 2 sealed Blue Bottom Romance Dawn cases. With TCGplayer floors at $100k and eBay hitting up to $200k, you’re basically dropping a $250k on sealed product just to chase it. But it’s not just the price of the cases, this card is literally One Piece TCG history. It’s a massive error from back when wording completely broke the game mechanics. The original text forces you to restand a card ("Set 1"), while the corrected version gives you the choice ("Set up to 1"). On top of being the first major Luffy chase and a legendary error card, the true scarcity is a total mystery. PSA didn't split the labels, so they lumped everything into the same 700 total PSA 10 population. The actual Pre-Errata population is easily a fraction of that. Honestly, a $20k minimum baseline is completely justified. The fact that this card is only fetching around $7k right now makes absolutely no sense.

90001000 (@90001000GME) reported@DeItaone what a misleading headline lol. Old news and they are asking to have authorization to issues more shares if needed (half cash, half STOCK means giving $ and issuing new GME shares for eBay shareholders in the merged entity).
-
Super Saiyan Carl (@carlmikel) reported1st edition base set Charizard trends are down 20+% over the last two months. Nice Hope to see it come down another 50% over the remainder of the year PSA 9 just sold for 58k on eBay, 75k was the peak back in March An 8 has an auction ending in 4 days, let’s see what happens…
-
Nifty (@theniftydaddy) reported@SEOSENA7 I am doing the same, I am up to around 10 issues! Where did you find the best place to shop for them? I am just using eBay. Also when did you snag vol 1 and any advice around that? Did you do first prints? That’s what I am trying to do.
-
Dele Cyber (@DeleCyber) reportedNow, I understand their capturing machine is out of service. You also go to the vehicle inspection office nearby, you're told their machines are also down. Honestly, this country needs to be auctioned off on Ebay so that serious people can buy it off and reset this mess.
-
GrimGlass (@GrimGlassCo) reported@wrestle_real @Topps One of those is pretty easy to fix. You can get a certified Monte Irvin auto for about $20 right now on ebay. Satchel Paige would be on my list though.
-
Rob Butler (@RobButler190201) reportedI sold an item on ebay and the package was delivered 5/14 to the buyer (6 days ago). ebay is holding my funds and they are impossible to contact! Terrible company! Never sell on ebay! @eBay

-
DividendsIn2040 (@ShadyJosh5) reported@wealthrewired8 I would borrow £50. Buy five broken mobile phones on ebay and make 3 working ones, sell those on ebay plus the leftovers for parts. Pay back the £50, rinse repeat and keep going. How I started out aged 12 in business and it would still work today.
-
SimulatedMarkets (@SimulatedLie) reported@Han_Akamatsu For now, it's just giving $GME runway to possibly issue shares, not obligation we'll see how $EBAY acquisition unfolds Maybe RC takes his money from ebay calls, pockets profits & moves on?
-
JamesFennell MBE (@FennellJW) reported@Tacko77 @JonoCC I don't think they are buying them off ebay, lots of work has been undertaken both by industry and on Patrick Blackett to resolve these issues.
-
DARREN DODDS (@UKNO1PLUMBER) reported@joesonofpete One of best products on market presently ,One Shot drain cleaner found on Ebay and other platforms. Should clear blockage ,but if blockage returns frequently as you say ,problem could lie with position /fall of actual basin pipework ,if ran underfloor , may have backfall ,

Mike Walsh (@mwalsh2) reported@RobsRips I got the Cunningham in my case break which got me started on them. Got the Bremner in a discord server and the other 4 on eBay.
-
cbay (@cbay_cbay_cbay) reported@Brooksgallery8 @AmyDiGi , a project made by lovebeing - a crypto only marketplace that is a inspired by ebay and craigslist. peer 2 peer. 🥰 working on updates, and perhaps an escrow system down the line once we have some angel investment
-
6days1week (@6days1week) reported@Black_Glass @PhantomBlack699 @eBay You make a good point. Investors may shift money quickly from assets they own to SpaceX. Investors may even move assets from non participating brokers to those who are participating. Could the IPO cause smaller broker collateral problems?
-
pumpkin spice (@pumpkinspice741) reported@ryancohen GME is down over the past 3 months. some GME investors followed you into BBBY and lost shares. how ******** is ebay any different? do something for the retail shareholders please
-
Sheridan Blythe Oddities (@RamenTumbleweed) reported@horrormuseum Imo, the bigger issue. Who is this movie even for? Betty Boop hasn't been popular since y2k, when she was all over stickers and stationary. The collectibles are dirt cheap on eBay. Race swapped or not, I don't see a market for this.
-
Foolish Intanius 2 Comms open (@nius_v) reported@eBay you guys with your international shipping program should cease all business with @inc_uni Just a terrible company.
-
ronanonymous * (goose) (@sirronhale) reportedHey @ebay remove the shipping cost review feature from reviews. We have no control over postage cost and getting review dings because someone agreed to pay it but then complained is BS. @ryancohen please make that a fix in your first 100 days. @CardPurchaser
-
CaptainHogan (@HoganCaptain) reported@Japhero_ 80% is honestly great. If they sell on ebay, they are spending on ebay cut, shipping, and the off chance there's an issue with the transaction

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reportedOpen your bank statement right now. Count every subscription. Netflix. Spotify. ChatGPT Plus. Claude. Adobe. Apple One. Disney+. iCloud. YouTube Premium. Audible. NYT. Dropbox. Notion. Gym. Dating app. A 2026 study found the average American spends $219 a month on subscriptions. That is $2,628 a year. But they estimate they spend $86 a month. 74% of people admit they have forgotten about a recurring charge. 42% are currently paying for a subscription they have stopped using. A Portuguese developer named Miguel Ribeiro got tired of bleeding money to forgotten subscriptions. He lives in Berlin and works as a senior frontend engineer at eBay Kleinanzeigen by day. At night he tried Billbot and a bunch of paid web apps. None of them worked. Some of them charged him a monthly fee to track his monthly fees. So in October 2023 he wrote his own. The repo today: → 7,922 stars → 365 forks → GPL-3.0 licensed → Pushed last week → 69 followers on the founder's profile It is called Wallos. You self-host it. It tracks every subscription, every renewal date, every category, every currency, and shows you the actual number on one screen. Here is the wildest part: The subscription companies designed the system this way on purpose. 72% of people set everything to auto-pay because the checkout flow defaults to it. Cancellation pages are buried 5 clicks deep. Some require a phone call during business hours. A 2022 FTC report called this "dark patterns" and Adobe is paying $150 million in a settlement for hiding cancellation fees this exact way. Miguel did not raise venture capital. He did not write a Medium post. He did not go on a podcast. He shipped one PHP app from his apartment in Berlin and now thousands of people use it to claw back hundreds of dollars a year. The honest part: It needs a tiny server (a $5 Raspberry Pi works). You have to enter subscriptions yourself, it does not auto-detect from your bank. The UI is functional, not gorgeous. The author still works a day job and ships updates in his spare time. Berlin. One developer. The companies that auto-charge you forever finally have an enemy.

Trash Panda 🦝 (@trashpandaemoji) reportedThey go for deep discounts on eBay. Got this one for $80, down from $350 brand new.

**** Atic (@poonatic69) reported@foxenflask @m74ft1 I do think they will buy eBay, but it will be after another event. Come with me down a holding company thought experiment. Step 1: gme own a chunk of IEP (just under 5%) Step 2: @_CO_RY_ own a chunk of IEP (just under 5%) Step 3: buy cash settled swaps for >3% (aka, all the rest of the shares as Carl owns 87%) Swaps deliverable in next month or two after compensation award vote. Step 4: accept delivery and file form 4 showing that over 100% of shares are owned. Step 5: watch as IEP share price squeezes. (Let's say $1m per share) gme ownership will make gme price squeeze in tandem to hundreds or thousands per share. Steps 6-9: leverage shares worth trillions for loans to buy eBay. Is this what RK saw *******?

Timothy Doty (@TekniklDifikult) reported@DoniTheMisfit I’ve bought a number of laptops from Amazon third-party sellers and off eBay over the past 25 years with zero unexpected issues (some were bought knowing there were things to be fixed - usually drives).

〽️rDrunkBeard (@MrDrunkBeard) reported@MindofMarvelous @footlocker It’s ridiculous. They’re on eBay now for $250. You can’t even get connected to customer service with Foot Locker either. And they wonder why sales are down…
