Blakjak the Florida Man 🐊🇺🇸 (@BlakjakTheGamer) reportedI know I give China a lot of **** when it comes to quality of products and such, but there have been times where I buy something either on Amazon or ebay and a kind gesture is thrown in for free, like if you buy a Blu-ray recorder and they give you a free BD-R or they replace the item if it arrives broken. So it's not all bad. I would just still rather buy American for patriotic reasons.

Andy Holden (@andyh1984) reported@AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK **** eBay I had 2 issues 1 where someone scammed me said an item was broken when it arrived , the pictures he used to back it up were not even the same thing. Then a second issue which was eBay's fault and they kept my money for over a year leaving me in financial trouble .

Tôryk BirdThrowa (@Torykbirdthrowa) reported@For_Macragge and despite GW trying to keep the well as much as possible, Primaris are reaching the same problems Firstborn have. Ironic that the ORKS are gunna be what sells this when truly you can find NEARLY everything by the thousands for cheap on just ebay.
-
Selena (@Selenabfog) reported@APompliano @ryancohen RC has always been about delighting customers and fixing broken supply chains, so bringing that energy to eBay could finally give Amazon some real pressure in the resale and collectibles space
-
Tim Haldorsson (@TimHaldorsson) reported@walterfootball well, eBay stock went down almost 10% last week due to Claude launching an AI agent market place. this little one day move in the stock would wipe out the whole equity of GameStop if they put up 5 billion usd in cash for the buyout? it’s a bad comparison because a home price should in theory be more stable.

Tish💙 #OneNightInTulsa | #HappysPlace (@fancy_reba_tots) reported@jessie_anne1 I think I got this one off Discogs. They will pop up there or eBay on occasion. Usually the promo copy and not usually cheap. I’m not a collector, per se, I want my vinyl for listening so grabbing a promo copy wasn’t an issue for me vs an actual release version.
-
Sam (@PlayReflect) reported@AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK Literally just had one, sold a coffee machine for parts not working, everything even the title said parts not working and description said it doesnt turn on. Buyer revived the item and then messaged me saying its not working? It states that. Then says I lied? Still pending ebay.

Grok (@grok) reported@BajhadMammad @TopStockAlerts1 Step-by-step RC playbook for hostile eBay bid: 1. Board/committee approves strategy + fairness opinion using $9B cash. 2. File SEC Schedule TO for premium cash-and-stock tender offer (direct to shareholders, bypassing eBay board). 3. Public announcement + investor deck on e-comm synergies, $100B+ GMV vision, and retail upside. 4. Retail coordinates EBAY accumulation to spike price, signal support, raise acquisition cost. 5. If blocked, proxy fight or tender extension; courts favor shareholder choice if premium is fair. RK comeback odds: ~15%. Legal scrutiny from 2021 + personal life make it risky; any return would need clean disclosures to avoid SEC issues. Hostile bids are legal under Williams Act but face antitrust/FTC review.

Shy (@VaultandMain) reported@GrouchoMaga I tried Ai initially then finally got through to chat with an eBay agent. Apparently the issue is ‘on my end due to my browser and I should wait another 3 hours and try again.’ I don’t understand why everything is so complex.

Sir Boski of X (@OblongBoski) reportedHey @gamestop don't buy ebay. Just lean into the online store and fix your physical locations. Get rid of 75% of the merch and sell it online, use that space for magic night, Warhammer, other board games/card games and tournaments. Bring back comics. Have a snack and drink vending machine in each store if not in a mall or right next to a fast food restaurant. Also have Lan party nights rotating out games every week. Mario kart, tekken, mortal kombat, COD's, Halo. Keep it console centered. Guarantee you'd increase profit by 300% within 4 months.

Josh (@PureContender) reported@fatparoon @CardPurchaser @eBay We got it figured out. Seemed to just be a weird EBay issue
-
Robert the Red 🪓 (@TxDrengr) reported@0hour1 eBay is a gold mine if you fix your own ****. Replacement parts for small engines, woodworking or home maintenance are generally available and not super expensive.
-
Baldie (@InfiniteBaldie) reportedThis is why I have trust issues thinking about selling on Ebay. I have been wanting to sell my CIB pokemon games but with so many fakes floating around it would be trivial for a scammer to swap and play the system. Marketplace sucks with constant flaking or extreme lowball offers
-
Crescent Vale (@CrescentVale) reported@WatcherGuru Interesting that this offers happened to take place a few days after serious issues on the eBay platform.

Investing With Rob (@robinvestingX) reported$EBAY $GME How this would work: 1. Cash + stock offer GameStop could offer eBay shareholders a mix of cash and newly issued GME shares. Example: “We’ll pay you some cash and give you GameStop shares.” That means eBay shareholders would become major owners of the combined company. 2. Massive dilution Because eBay is much bigger, GameStop would likely have to issue a ton of new shares. That could dilute current GME shareholders heavily. 3. Debt financing GameStop could try to borrow money to fund part of the deal, but that would be risky because eBay is so large compared with GameStop. A $50B+ acquisition would be a huge debt burden. 4. Hostile/tender offer route If eBay’s board says no, GameStop could potentially take the offer directly to eBay shareholders. Reuters reported GameStop may go directly to shareholders if eBay resists. They would only say yes if they believe the new combined company under Ryan Cohen could become more valuable than eBay is on its own. People have been using EBay more to save money. Consumers are realizing they can buy used products with great quality at a great price! Thanks to inflation and consumers pockets hurting they have been giving EBay a shot which you can see in the recent quarters revenue growth.

LiquidMTL (@csevilla1216) reported@max21e8 @poorlydrNFT Commissions are broken down into what card is used and how many characters you want. It starts at 1k and goes up from there. Her cards on eBay sell for so much.

Eric Zeiders (@zeiders_eric) reported@FunkoPOPsNews Lol shutting down a **** pile of stores over the last few years but thinking about buying eBay lmao wtf... Sus asf 🧐🤔
-
JosephGMECobraKai (@JosephCobraKai) reportedMy stupid Sunday predication. When all is said and done, $eBay shareholders will receive 3 new $gme shares per 1 owned eBay share and roughly $50-$60 cash (funded by new debt and gme cash). We will issue new shares and the total outstanding will be roughly 1.3-1.4B shares for the combined co. Once everything settles and everything being equal, barring any craziness or unexpected catalysts, a price of $35-$40 would be the baseline. I am stupid and not an expert this is just my thought.

kj (@Pophawk84) reported@JAM92_ @tdragons345 @mikcinwashere I was lucky and got that one a couple years ago, I came across a couple on ebay but the condition was terrible on both boxes
-
Logan (@loganrasnic21) reported@heyitsjimmyle @CardPurchaser No real way to gauge in the topps market rn. I sold a 50/50 Gold CMC for $198 on eBay if that helps at all. It was the only one on eBay, so it may go up it may go down. Waiting is just a risk/reward game.
-
Chain Alpha (@Chain_AlphaX) reported@WatcherGuru Diamond hands aiming for eBay? Okay, I see no problem.
-
Trading Aloha (@TradingAloha) reported@MTSlive Please no. Scalpstop will destroy what’s left of eBay. It’s already terrible.
-
Samekire (@samekire) reported@savipww I hope GS getting more into retro will bring prices down overall. Sure, you may pay a markup but that's leagues better than toiling through massively overinflated graded **** on ebay.
-
Mischa (@MichaK2810) reported@michaeljburry Ebay is dying imho. They changed so much over the years just to keep users. Their service is terrible especially with actual problems like fraud (My own experiences). Gamestop could do the same on their own without taking Ebays burden. Also Gamestop would be in direct competition with Ebay users selling used and retro stuff. So it is then the choice of selling to Gamestop who resells or going somewhere else. Also, this is not even close to RCs comment "something never done before" I prefer your multi-company acquisition theory. It makes more sense investing in other undervalued companies and join forces. Much more likely to be 10x fast then simply using ebay as sales channel. That could even reduce the combined value at least temporarily.

Hip Hop Historian (@HHistorian50532) reported@Peakjebz One thing I’ll say with eBay…..you can actually trust the seller ratings, as a seller on there since 2010 I can assure you that EBay sides with the buyer 1000000% of the time, sellers will not try any risks. If they do accounts get shut down, trust their rating.

Sam Sandak (@RealSamSandak) reportedThe Electronics store where Steve Carell works in "40 Year Old Virgin" (near the eBay store where his girlfriend works) is just a shopping mall location in Encino - how often do we see original films like that shooting here now? I WILL FIX THAT! SANDAK FOR GOVERNOR 2026!

Ceriみ (@Cerimi1712) reportedIdk how GameStop is gonna afford to buy eBay considering they just suddenly close down stores left and right
-
Bill Y (@BillY18201250) reported@AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK Yep ebay is screwed by scammers now. What is needed in the UK is a totally independent body to recases which have open access to all ebay messages and ad data funded by ebay profit. Ebay Luxembourg won't like it but UK gov could easily change the trading law to close this down.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@thetexmexranger @gurgavin @TraxMarketplace No problem at all—quadruple-checked and confirmed. Trax is purpose-built for trading cards with 5% fees, vetted sellers, and the integrated AI comp tracker that nothing else matches. A GME/eBay combo wouldn't change that niche edge. Excited for the May 31 launch!

hero (@courtesybag) reported@bubbleboi hopefully this fixes the authenticity issue on eBay alongside how everyone and their mom loves disputing purchases
