  I have a terrible addiction. It costs me money every month. I do not encourage anyone to walk this path…… But as long as I’m alive I will always probably be obsessed with sports cards!!!! Check this months @eBay auctions!!!!!

  @BBallNotebook It's sold out, but it's a Nike Standard Issue crewneck. Best bet would be to hope it pops up on eBay. There are a few on there for other teams, but no OKC ones.

  @premiercards_2 @eBay Have them call you thru eBay automated assistant chat. Say “call me” in the chat. Take pictures, show them the damages and they will give you $$ back. This is absolutely a known issue and they are doing nothing to fix it.

  @jonbrooks Need an ebay site and an AI lawyer to check the paperwork and handle transfers. so.. yes. But not until the realtor cartel can be broken. We need a tesla-like situation where the product just puts realtor (car dealers) to shame.

  @ItsToriGalvin Nearly every post I've seen of this figure is someone on reddit/ebay/or some japanese reselling site asking about how to fix the droopy wing or the tilt🫠

  @KLeinzz0xL Just a hobby. I buy cheap broken consoles on Ebay and fix them. If I don't have one I add it to my collection, otherwise I trade them into the game store or gift them to friends. This particular ps1 is going to a friend who's ps1 broke recently

  @den_jvs Having bought cards on ebay for over 25 years now. The amount of time it takes to get a resolution from most sellers isn't worth the effort. Upload 4-5 pictures, back and forth with a seller, repackaging and shipping, 2-5 days shipping delay, 2-3 days for a refund. Assuming they even take it back for a category that has no refunds. Assuming you don't have to have ebay step in and make a ruling adding 10-30 business days. I already went through the effort of sourcing the card. Looking through pictures, checking descriptions for notated issues, checking recent feedback. A refund at this point isn't worth the effort. Leaving correct feedback with pictures to let future buyers know what they can expect. That's the whole point of feedback. I don't buy from people with under 98% feedback as it is. Fake feedback inflation is a thing. I'm not taking a "partial refund" to change my review. There's no scenario a seller "makes it right" by me changing my review. There's no consequence otherwise of the seller continuing to sell damaged cards as NM and no way for anyone else to know what the seller is doing. Ebay listing is near dummy proof. You have to actively select what the condition is. If you're a lazy seller and are "too busy" to look at the condition of your card, it's not a mistake you marked it NM, it's negligence. Mark all your cards as excellent or very good then, problem solved. I kicked 25% of the cards I bought off ebay out of grading. I left negative feedback on 5% of those as they were egregiously damaged. The other 20% were near mint with accurate pictures, just not clean enough for my preferences on what I send in. I left them positive feedback. Sellers earn their reviews both positive and negative.

  Grown man, bought an empty water bottle off eBay and carried it down on a train. Now checking it out on his phone. Modern football fandom. Jesus Christ. Burn it down. It’s all Ballers League.

  @spideygalsolo I got mine on ebay! they're the brave new world & you and thunderbolts & you jpn exclusive plush so unfortunately they're very overpriced for what they are. I only ended up getting them bc they stopped trying to sell bucky for 100usd LOL so they'll probably continue to go down

  @RDKLInc @eBay Ebay still hasn't addressed the messaging system, either. I haven't been able to respond to anything. Help was useless. They had no idea what they were talking about. I eventually got an e-mail saying they were aware of the problem. People think I'm ignoring them.

  @_sportscardshop @CollectionRbt Some guy earlier this week offered me $4k on an Ohtani card I had up for $5K on eBay. I already had $4500 offers that I turned down. It sold 2 days later for $5K. Nobody should be selling for less than eBay comps with him.

  @cardofdreams I bought this from eBay years ago. 36 card display case that says UV protected. Have six full. Used to have on the wall but took down for safety reasons. They sit on the floor against a wall and nice to be able to access whenever.

  @lynn_dodds84927 I just found 10 items that are cheaper on eBay vs Amazon in about 15 seconds. Amazon should be faster you're paying a membership fee. Since they started using the United States Postal Service that is went downhill in my area. As for returns I've had a few issues but even if the seller does not want to accept the return eBay forces them to and gives you your money back and sometimes you get to keep the item.

  the problem isn’t a lack of long term projects it’s a culture that punishes short term attempts in every other industry people try, fail, pivot, and try again steam games etsy shops ebay sellers no one questions their morals for it but in crypto? a founder tries to make money fails and suddenly it’s not just a bad product it’s “they’re a bad person” that’s not accountability that’s character assassination i’m not saying you should blindly support everything but if people can’t even try to build, sell, or market without being labeled why would anyone serious stay here? people say the wrong things people make bad trades but turning every mistake into a moral judgment kills more builders than scams ever will this space was built to experiment to repeat to get it wrong and try again not to be perfect on the first try you don’t build strong ecosystems by punishing failure you build them by letting people improve

  @dizzy_dman Depends. From the actual team, hit or miss? Actually from someone like eBay, definitely stanky Recently received a Thrashers jersey (rip) and the jersey smelled like cheap cologne. Was terrible. Received another game worn jersey and there was a stain that got progressively worse

  As bad as his prices were it really was not justified for me to be happy when his eBay account was down. It’s really the only way they make money. (someone can correct me if I’m wrong.)

  @SeanieQdup @ShiningScience The story is real but from 2018, not recent. Jackson Oswalt (Memphis, TN) built a homemade fusor (inertial electrostatic confinement device) in his bedroom using eBay parts, inspired by a TED Talk. He achieved deuterium fusion at age 12 (technically, just before turning 13), earning a Guinness World Record as the youngest to do so. The FBI visited once with a Geiger counter to check for radiation leaks as a safety precaution—no raid, no issues found. The viral post and image sensationalize it; fusors like this are a known amateur science project, not "star power" fusion.

  @just_cameroon @GardensHour I always had that problem (rarely could visit GCs - went mad when I did). Now I buy from nurseries on line (Ebay) and consider each purchase & usually plant on arrival then buy something else. Also search for what I want rather than impulse buy.

  @damselsimi @dmmsell This viral video promotes a powdered drain cleaner like "Gold Drain" or "Wild Tornado" (sold on Amazon/eBay). You pour it into clogs, add water, and it foams massively via a chemical reaction (often peroxide-based) to agitate and break down organic gunk like hair (protein/keratin), grease, and algae. Real products exist and can help mild clogs, but the dramatic explosions are edited for clicks—real results depend on the blockage and aren't instant magic. The Japanese poster’s doubt makes sense; it's hyped but not fake.

  @FutureAZA @HBud69 I've had one for a couple of years from eBay (made in China). I recently found that if I press it down on its suspension the headlights flash and it makes a "vroom vroom screech" petrol driving noise. Ouch! I now know not to do that!

  @Royals_Cards I think eBay needs to change NM from “comparable to pack fresh” to something else. Terrible term to use, when many cards come out of the pack with a dent, ding, or scratch
