    Do you ever bid on too many things at once on eBay and then it gets down to the wire and you are desperately hoping you don’t win all of them? I’m in pain right now lmao

  • Levit0 Kyle Campbell (@Levit0) reported

    I gave on getting a RTX 3080 the moment a listing for a BROKEN one was selling for over 1K USD on ebay. Totally absurd.

  • KiyomiMcfarlane Kiyomi McFarlane 🧢 🗳 🧦 🏗🔰 (@KiyomiMcfarlane) reported

    @alaneyo @mattyglesias I view it as an eBay problem and don’t think anyone else did anything wrong.

  • dyhptg Dongled (@dyhptg) reported

    @Kosmikat Bummer :( Every single issue i've found that has the poster in it is stupid expensive for shipping on ebay. One of these days I'll have to bite the bullet and get it.

  • bahester Brooks Hester (@bahester) reported

    Man that chargers pick last night had me so hype went and took my Herbert down from eBay. That’s when you know it’s good

  • antony Antony Jones 🐦 (@antony) reported

    If eBay reserved funds with each bid, so that you automatically paid for the item upon winning, it would solve 95% of my issues with eBay.

  • ducksvalley Gillian (@ducksvalley) reported

    @home4furniture Hi I have just message you through eBay about my order for a combi toilet and sink received this morning, very prompt and only issue is with the tap there are some dents in the chrome not sure how I get a reply so thought I’d message you here too

  • Sharonebaillie Sharon Wilson (@Sharonebaillie) reported

    @LidlGB I just came to see if folk had the same issue I did. I was there Thursday, the first day of seelling these. 3 different stores. All sold out. Then within hours all on ebay nearly double in price. The same happened when the kettlebells were on offer. Frustrating...

  • RichardTassler Richard Tassler (@RichardTassler) reported

    @JustDogeIt1 @RussellOkung @eBay BULLSHIT THEIR NETWORK COULD BE 51% ATTACKED 1,000 TIMES A WEEK. EBAY WOULD SHUT DOWN WITHIN DAYS.

  • ThatWeissGuy Andrew Otis Weiss (@ThatWeissGuy) reported

    me: okay, the server bill is coming due, there are bills to pay, and the bindery should be sending an invoice soon. let's not spend on stupid crap this cycle. *someone lists a stack of cheap, good condition issues of Joystik on eBay* me: fuuuuuuuuuck

  • Crypt0Prophets CryptoProphet$ (@Crypt0Prophets) reported

    @eliz883 Just had a quick read on this project, how is it planning to solve disputes between buyers and sellers? Coz the first protocol to resolve this issue is gonna be the winner. Also what does this have over centralized solutions such as Ebay?

  • LuigiThirty Yakisoba Pansexual (@LuigiThirty) reported

    Me: I definitely do not need a tape backup system. eBay: LTO4 drives are under $200 and your server has an external SAS port oOoOo Me: must resist

  • FguillsRT Frenzy (@FguillsRT) reported

    @BigPapaG2000 @ecomiburn Let them sell on eBay…you’ll get more down the road if you just to sell!

  • BMWMAD RIsiaah Whyte (@BMWMAD) reported

    @*.*@Ebay 2 mins ago I had a very rude person from eBay customer services who put the phone down on me when I asked him to allow me to answer his questions

  • littlebird_ylv anna❁ ireh!! (@littlebird_ylv) reported

    I really reccomend buying the lightstick from ebay, it didn't have any quality problem, it was well shipped and arrived so soon at a cheaper price than the shop rn

  • rudyfan Donna Hill (@rudyfan) reported

    @selmerguy Really? So ebay tolerates this with no issues for the buyers?

  • rich94920 RS (@rich94920) reported

    The global shimano brake pad shortage is real. I’m down to sourcing counterfeit “brand new original manufacturer, no box” pads off eBay 😭

  • PumpkinSpiceLet 𝙲𝙾𝙻𝙻𝙴𝚃𝚃𝙴 (@PumpkinSpiceLet) reported

    Oh look. What a shocker. Still no security code to change my email address. It's almost as if there is a problem with eBay's side of things rather than mine

  • HouseOfCardzLLC House Of Cardz (@HouseOfCardzLLC) reported

    @jbblack08 @CardPurchaser This is the hard part..you should honor it... for reals. But the buyers on eBay (even though I’m one too) are terrible as well. If you sold it and Jordan Love broke his neck, that buyer would claim damaged card and eBay would side with them. But they suck and you don’t. Honor it

  • saydaddie El jefe aka whiskey tango foxtrot, over!?!?!? (@saydaddie) reported

    @DocCoyle 6/To put the nail in the coffin of traditional retail operations. That notwithstanding, I would say that the GC issue is because musical needs are becoming more and more niche and they can’t compete with online brokers who can undercut their costs (Amazon and eBay again).

  • snake6165 Snake6165 (@snake6165) reported

    @Jellydrake @Milton_Thornton @GameStop Sure. Put me down for 5. I do have an eBay account.

  • matthewhenzel 🍒🍓🍊VideoGameObsession🍎🍈🔔🔑 (@matthewhenzel) reported

    I'd never buy from a seller with less than 99.8% feedback. 85% is asking for trouble. Way too much drama, and eBay customer support is pretty much non-existent now.

  • Ian_in_Spen Ian_b (@Ian_in_Spen) reported

    @Tomasrhys1 @Harrii_W eBay does work and probably has more reliability than gumtree. Both selling and buying are fine. eBay now pays into a bank account, so avoiding extra PayPal fees. Both see their share of less savoury issues.

  • HelenArmfield littlepurplegoth (@HelenArmfield) reported

    @StevieFinegan i've had this this week - its cos the number ebay gets as a ref. is a virtual card (was for me) and they don't save it in full. Ebays issue is with all the challenger banks (sorry) - it didn't like my other ones either, and i'm told it doesn't work with starling or revolut too :(

  • Kimota1977 Miracle Man (@Kimota1977) reported

    @comicsandroses Sure was! I had the first issue for years - only finally buying the rest as one of my first eBay purchases.

  • Gunnar_Roo_2011 Gunnär D (@Gunnar_Roo_2011) reported

    Day 3 of trying to get MY money from @mercari_app. I can't do an instant transfer if ALL my banks say no because of exclusive fruad, you're in the same boat as ebay. Mercari, it feels like you just want to ignore this issue, nice. Thanks for making me feel like a valued customer.

  • sailorisa isa (@sailorisa) reported

    @Th3Composer She was talking about the people who like sell **** for $150 on ebay and i’m like ok that isn’t my business don’t be accusatory with me, plus like at the end of the day what people do with their purchase isn’t their problem even tho it IS annoying that they ruined it for us all

  • MadAndy44 Andy Mattson (@MadAndy44) reported

    @TepidButterASMR @DianeKelly I think that is what that is for. He can't rescind the payment. That can only be reversed if PayPal/eBay tries to step in to resolve an issue, or if you initiate a refund. So, particularly with newer sellers, they hold those funds to protect the buyer (and eBay) from scammers.

  • jordanliles Jordan Liles (@jordanliles) reported

    @EricStevensINO @snopes @PeerIGN This is awesome. Thanks so much. I used to have all of these issues from the 1990s but I'm pretty sure at some point I just threw them away. How dumb of me. Each issue could potentially go for a few dollars now on eBay, plus they're pretty awesome in terms of nostalgia.

    @J4i737 @reggie_800 I’ve actually never had a broken one and I’ve had my switch since launch, the broken on I had was from a lot of broken n64 nes snes controllers from eBay and it included a real broken joy con
