    @BoomerDivvies I think 20 to 30 is good. It depends what you need it for. I never had a high one on mine. I just turn it down. Then I got burnt when I was trying to buy a $20,000 welder off eBay...

    For one emulators are not illegal. Secondly no I don't agree with this I will keep emulating thank you very much because not everyone has 5000$ in cash to spare to hunt down 1 game on eBay somewhere and game companies are unreliable for keeping these games alive and reliably accessible. When game studios provide something good and they give us something that properly preserves games and I mean all of them not just some, all the games that has been released from every country then we good. Until then no I have only 1 life to live on this earth I'm not waiting 20+ years or more of my life just to maybe wait and have a Japan exclusive game I've been interested in get a release in the states and that's a big if it comes. So if they provide better services then sure but it's not looking to happen so the emulators continue over here.

    @riotmci @TheFootyFeed Every one of you, never went to Maine Road (did I mention, I have), buy retro kits on eBay, because your support isn't passed down from father to son, but glory-seeking... always manufacture a variable to define success. Like I said, MCFC pre-2008 is a Google search result to you

    Just tried 7 times to make an offer on an ebay listing and the system keeps returning error messages. Thinking this is a continuation of the last two days of eBay’s site failures sellers are complaining about. How is this acceptable?? @ValueAddedRS

    That's a quad-socket server board (4 Xeon CPUs visible) stuffed with ~1TB RAM across dozens of DIMMs. Classic meme pic — most likely a Dell PowerEdge R920/R930 or similar Supermicro-based enterprise chassis. Used ones pop up on eBay cheap, but they're power-hungry beasts. Great for VMs/databases if you have the electric bill for it.

    @mootsheep damn, when I buy "broken" stuff off ebay it's usually so trashed none of the parts are usable.

    @stonksandcards I’ve had been having a ton of issues with USPS and the standard eBay envelope option. It began in March. I’m starting to think the USPS changed something in processing with thickness of envelopes causing issues. It’s not 100% of the time, but it has increased a lot. I haven’t gotten this from eBay yet, but I’m sure I will of this continues

    @eddawriter That's the plan. It's a forefront issue for me to source skulls ethically. I looked on ebay and there are a lot of box turtle shells for sale--I'm sure at least one comes with an empty box and a fine from US Fish & Game.

    Is @eBay still down for people? I still can't access it. @eBay_UK have you tried switching off and on again? Or giving the batteries a good rub? #ebay #ebaydown #cantbuystuff

    @christopherrufo This is like BART before they got their "new trains." They were having to scrounge bits off Ebay to keep them going. Respect to the maintenance guys for doing that, but the planned obsolescence of technology is becoming a massive issue.

  • Crypto_Daily_23
    Naaby J (@Crypto_Daily_23) reported

    I mean this post is pure rage bait. You know how hard it is to package anything that not a standard letter for under $2? You want a bubble mailer?? That’s going to run the shipping cost at least over $4.99 determining size and weight. Buyer pays for shipping, plus eBay has already solved this problem with the label printer. Which they have already negotiated rates and determines the shipping rate per the transaction. It’s 2026, **** cost money.

    @Alexm3111 @iK9cards @gamestop He’s too lazy to take a photo and put it on eBay, his problem. Should be pissed AT the guy. Same with goodwill, ppl complain, but keep buying. Game stop “rips ppl off” but people keep going.

    @67gta390 I have a very rusty '97 f-250 plow truck...needed ball joints,etc.,had to source NOS stuff on ebay to get non-chinesium.The other issue I had was leaky capacitors in the ECU.I can't imagine anything newer being less of a nightmare to keep running with the electrics in them.

    I wish @eBay would help out on those eBay labels…pretty much 95% of the issues I deal with as a seller are related to said labels. They get lost all the time, tracking never picks up, buyers get upset, the e post office erroneously sends them back for additional postage and on and on.

    Fadi (@shahf82) reported

    @Michael_Darker @eBay Yeah - that .35 stings most when the item is not moving fast enough, and eBay should default auto-relist OFF on slow movers. What's worked for me is killing auto-relist on anything that hasn't moved in 90 days, then ending and re-researching before any relist.

    @Jylesss Shoot me a message bro! Followed you on here for awhile. Issues like this (in addition to Ebay’s fees) is exactly why I’m launching Trax Marketplace next month. Our site will have numerous advantages compared to EBay including: - 5% fees - hand-vetted, verified sellers - built in camera feature that validates tilt, framing, lighting, and background in real time (sellers can’t upload a bad pic) + much more! Would love to potentially bring you on for the Beta and/ or as an early adopter (will be greatly incentivized). Let’s talk!

    @eatlearnplay @eBay Is #eBay having technical issues? I'm having issues accepting and sending offers, for example.

  • Jared60039268
    Telly (@Jared60039268) reported

    @yaredcollects24 @CardPurchaser You cant do all that for the ebay shipping option. Those envelopes need to be machinable and bend and go through the machine. If they dont bend then it wont go through the machine and USPS rejects it. That is your issue. You can only send in a penny sleeve and a semi rigid.

    @capecoraldwells @gerardkane71 Beautiful example! I'm still hunting down an unused sticker sheet for my Wampa case. Haven't been able to justify the $150 price point as found on eBay. 🤷

  • Zeroslashh
    Matt 🦖 (@Zeroslashh) reported

    @PeakHobby I understand the intent, but this is braindead. There are people who go to shows specifically to acquire in-print product because they can’t anywhere else. They negotiate prices down/ trade towards their purchase instead of paying taxes + shipping + eBay fees. Juvenile decision.

    @PapayonTrading I’m going to ask the million dollar question..... and I know this is super controversial...... but if people are buying these, what’s the problem with it? I don’t quite understand how it’s any different than paying a crazy amount of money on ebay for one?

    @ShadyNeutron Thanks for reaching out. We’re currently experiencing a technical issue that’s preventing some customers from accessing parts of the eBay site. Our technical teams are already aware of this and are working to resolve it as a high priority.

    @CoderciseYT @loomdoop Half-Priced Books... The main problem is there is a customer that will come into all the stores and scan the shelves with a ring based scanner and phone app that checks the ISBN vs what the prices are on Amazon and Ebay, thus scooping up the treasures. 🤨

  • JDPdocdad
    JDPdad (@JDPdocdad) reported

    @Pokemon__drama I think any time you buy anything on ebay you need to record opening it. Too much fraud on ebay right now. You should also have proof of what you sold with pictures etc. Ebay has been pretty good about resolving issues with sellers for me over the past year so you might be right

    @RickHeaton32 @MyGolfSpy @TaylorMadeGolf The Qi35 driver is trash. I haven’t personally tried the new Qi4D but everyone is loving it and saying it’s much closer to the QI10. Personally… I would get on eBay & find a slightly used tour issue QI10.

    I’m not too happy with this new live auction craze on eBay. I believe it’s causing major server issues. The businesses in my field are abusing the system. Coming across incredibly pushy and stating false prices to buyers in order to push sales. I disagree with this form of selling. Believe this will bite eBay in the *** again eventually. The lack of effort from sellers is a piss take as well… Listings must be descriptive and show images of the item. Laziness is being rewarded.
