KMP (@Gandercommandr) reported@TonyClimate @eBay You and I both learned lessons the hard way, dont purchase anything on eBay bcuz it is a crooked, inept clusterfk that uses an automated system to manage buyer/seller issues, and automation cannot understand nuance. I will NEVER again buy from eBay.

KillTheCan - Quit Smokeless Tobacco and Nicotine (@killthecanorg) reportedebay has gone WAY down hill in recent years... sadly, this sort of thing happens OFTEN. I've been looking for ebay alternatives for a while now... Hope you're able to get resolution.

Nebraskangooner (@Nebraskangooner) reported@YBMMthoughts @eBay Glad to hear you had a good resolution. I don't even want the damaged card I just want my money back now. Really surprised this wasn't an easy fix.

R.Louis (@RLouis1397) reported@TonyClimate @eBay I absolutely hate buying from eBay. Slow shipping and customer support. Always pay with PayPal when using eBay and have a credit card as the primary payment method for two layers of protection. Always DYOR on seller. If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

mars ➡️ 1000 Years in the Pain Cube (@catboiardee) reported@eBay It really sucks that @ebay's email support agents are just ignoring my request to escalate my issue to a supervisor and that your agents continue to just lie to me!

Frezz (@Frezzwnie) reportedIn the fall of 2007, a professor at Yale walked into a lecture hall twice a week, picked up chalk, and drew four columns on the board: first-price sealed bid, second-price sealed bid, English auction, Dutch auction. The course is ECON 159. The professor is Ben Polak. The recording has been sitting free on Yale Open Courses for almost two decades, and almost nobody who trades on auctions every single day has ever watched it. That's a mistake. Those four columns aren't classroom abstraction. They're literally the architecture of how your money gets taken. eBay is an ascending auction with proxy bidding, a variant of the English format. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction: you don't pay your own bid, you pay the bid of the person you just beat. Government bond sales run as Dutch descending auctions. Three platforms, three mechanisms, three different ways to extract the most out of you — and almost none of the people bidding ever ask which format they're actually standing inside. Later on the board comes Nash equilibrium: the point where nobody can do better by changing their move alone. Sounds academic until you realize every market price, every negotiated salary, every closed-tender bid is exactly that. And one rule Polak repeats every single semester like an axiom: never play a strictly dominated strategy. If an option is worse than another no matter what happens, it isn't a real choice — cross it out. Traders break this rule constantly when they average down into a losing position, because locking in the loss hurts more than doubling down does. 24 lectures. Free. Problem sets and exams included. The whole thing fits in about thirty pages of equations. There's nothing left to pay for — Yale already gave it away. The only real cost is sitting through 24 hours of game theory before you open a terminal or place a bid, not after.

Rob N Hood (@RobRob1965) reported@TonyClimate @eBay I had a problem with a seller that eBay mediated and found the seller was in the wrong. They later allowed them to delete my negative review. EBay are useless at customer service.

Ratspitt ™ (@Ratspitt) reported@burgerbread1 My store has been open and month didn't start focusing on it until until 2 week ago. I've been selling on eBay for about 6 months I probably have sold over 80 pool cues buy now I think. I also write the sale listing for a major pool cue manufacturer website. They are starting to go live but its a slow process. You can tell which ones i wrote because they make sense. not bad consideringI only bought a pool table less than a year ago after taking 37 years off. I documented the pool table purchase and refurbishment its in my Highlights. I already redid the table a second time had changed to cloth to blue though

Comix Grrrlz (@ComixGrrrlz) reported@eBay @depop because I’m not logged in. I just keep getting a message telling me to call a US number to confirm my identity. The problem is that I live in Poland and I can’t see myself making a call for something like this. How else can I verify my identity/device so that I can log in?

♪ Our bones will bleach in the sun ♪ (@disneywetteam) reported@tractor_owner Could be fun to try and fix the old board. Strip off all the plastic and put it in the toaster oven to re-flow the solder. Might wind up with a working backup or one to sell on ebay.

Ryan Stadler (@RyanStadler79) reported@35auburn @tiffanycards That is definitely a problem. Do these seller even know of the issue, I doubt it. And out of the 5 or 6 I put in the original @natsturner post, 2 were flagged I beleive, but only 1 was ended on eBay. So the other 4-5 items (one w deactivated cert) are still up for sale. And the

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

Geri Perna (@GeriPerna) reportedThank you, everyone, for all of your love and support. Yesterday was a rough one, for many reasons. But one of them concerns my shop, designsbyg. shop. Starting a new business is difficult; the drawing and designing is fun. It helps with my depression and keeps me focused. But the money side is a nightmare! I ran reports and found that I was "eating" a percentage of the shipping cost on every sale. Sometimes as much as $12.00. It wasn't too awful, but FIXING the issue was a nightmare. Three 10-hour days in a row with AI support on 2 platforms trying to adjust the shipping for 173 products coming from DOZENS of drop-ship printers throughout the US. On the first day, I was given incorrect instructions and deleted profiles for 2 dozen items. After putting those back in, which took all day, I started on the shipping. There are no phone numbers for Shopify or Printify support. Chat boxes only, mostly AI. After following instructions from Shopify and going 1 by 1 for every shipping profile, 30 for each item times 173 products, I was told by Printify that was completely unnecessary!!! It gave me an alternative to bulk edit 12 at a time. I wasted 3 days on something that should have taken 2 hours! I am so SICK of the lack of customer service in this country!!! Hopefully it is fixed. For those who shop in my store, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I want to add that I apologize for the cost of shipping. I have no control over that. My eBay sales are suffering due to shipping costs. It is just out of my hands.

Jay Sikk (@sikk9273) reported@eBay so everybody on eBay is bitching about the ****** up software issues going on this week. Somebody’s gonna get ******* fired at eBay and it better be whoever is in charge of this software and technology.

Dram McCloudigan (@dreamcloudigan) reported@DeanAndrew21454 @ryancohen eBay turned down the offer calling it not credible. My guess is options are printing. GameStop is a fully operational hedge fund you know. And you know who GameStop hired? The goddamn best

doodaddy (@doodaddy64) reported@driver61d1 there's a chance that GME is selling its shares which is causing EBAY to go down. I don't think so, but I'm always surprised.

✨Ryan Zorak Keblis✨ (@RadTad94) reportedThey literally said it wouldn’t be up forever when they shut the 3ds servers down. And **** it id rather have these games conveniently on modern hardware than pay for the ebay prices the real gouged prices. These games aren’t rare people just know that people will pay premium

Sevvy (@Sevvy_707) reported@Le_Sino0w0 @BoltTheWord @sephtiger They don’t. I suppose in eBay they do. I bought GBA games for $20 at the SEGE con. I even got some physical media games for free. Granted some were $50 or $75 but they are not all $150. Plus you can negotiate the price down. It’s not like you are going out there to buy games only with boxes.

K 🇺🇸 (@klovsch) reported@dkmitc Isn't there a new foldable screen phone coming out? Also you can either change the battery or pay someone to change the battery. My iPhone succession: 4, 5, 7, 14, 17. The seven was almost unable before I upgraded to the 14. I only upgraded to the 17 because it literally didn’t cost me anything. batteries are so easy to replace you. Just buy the little tool kit and get them off eBay and he needs probably about a half hour 45 minutes, if you are slow.

Joe | Reselling & Facebook Marketplace Expert (@jearl02s) reportedReselling customer returns is a labor of love… I enjoy my side hustle because it gets me outside, sweating and interacting with folks in my community that I would have never met. It is also going to help pay for our 3 children’s college fund. My wife recently had the idea of putting the next $10k in reselling profit into a 529 for our youngest child that is starting 5th grade versus directing it towards the kids in high school. The note from the customer was Do Not Need it Anymore. They chose to use a Disney Mickey Halloween Arch for a season or two and then return it for a refund of $439! I inspected it last night and it’s in good working condition with two small defects 1) One of the ears is missing the metal post to hang it…easy fix 2)The base cheap metal structure at the bottom of each base arch is missing. Some of the fasteners are missing. On EBay similar sets have sold for $350 to $500… I posted for $450 on FB Marketplace and we shall see… I didn’t build the whole thing but did check that the competents worked and it was really cool to see! #customerreturns #costco #reseller

Wayne Reardon (@WayneReardon) reported@giblets_n_beer @TonyClimate @eBay I've been buying and selling on eBay for over 20 years and have never had a problem getting my money back if something hasn't turned up. Just click on "I didn't receive my item" and if they can't produce a tracking number showing delivery, you get your money back.
