  @eBay I’ve done that and can’t get an agent to connect, the automated assistant isn’t any help for this issue

  4. eBay has told me so many different things as I’ve sat on the phone with them for hours each day only for the last agent to say this is PSA who has to issue the return since I paid for grading their system does not allow eBay to start a return due to failed EBay Authentication

  @skunkapecards @CardPurchaser The 2nd comment is true.. don’t be a pushy seller. If you have an issue with the time allotted by eBay for the buyer to pay them set up the auto pay 1 hour after auction end feature.

  @ToilerOnTheSea2 @AwakenedOf I got kicked off because I refused to do a video selfie to prove I was a real person despite having an account for 25 years, paying for advertising etc. They keep trying to tempt me back and it's not working. I just hope I can keep access to ebay which provides me with income.

  There are a few reasons why I think listing Amazon returns on eBay is worth the time and effort. 1. Diversification - If Amazon shuts me down for whatever reason I have the ability to pivot to a new marketplace. 2. Reduce leakage - Small money leaks can crush small businesses. Processing returns allows me to recoup costs from damaged goods from Amazon and sell them as-is on eBay. Can also resell returns that are actually fulfillable back on FBA. 3. Cash flow - eBay payouts are a lot faster What else would you add?

  Go check sold on ebay for pennies. They aren't worthless. Each copper penny is worth 3 cents and if you have a big bag that's a lot. And certain years and errors can be worth 100s or more. It's a cheap hobby to get into and I enjoyed it. It might be worthless to you, but there's a lot of coin collectors who'd pay big money for certain ones and I've just found them in my change. A few times I check my change and found an error and sold it for over $100 on ebay. So what's 'worthless' to you is only because you don't understand the value. It's extremely rare for the mint to make an error and there's a huge history in the US mint.

  @HumanityChad PRECISELY why you need to shop eBay for a a cheap pre-broken 'Burner PS5' to be hidden nearby to swap out for the good one in this situation. 😜

  @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.

  @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

  @fatparoon @skunkapecards @CardPurchaser The buyer bid and won the auction… the seller did ask nicely the day before without a response. If you are a buyer and find yourself in a position where you’re tired of eBay, reminding you to pay as well as the seller and you choose not to communicate, You are the problem

  @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?

  PSA for Ebay sellers: do NOT let buyers talk you into basing comps on the last few days. Ebay is having severe issues causing problems like inability to bid, snipers malfunctioning, inability to print shipping, etc. Ebay has admitted the issues and is allowing sellers to cancel auctions completed during the past couple days. Savvy buyers are attempting to pick up cards based on these abnormally low comps. Don't fall for it. The ramifications are going to be huge for comps in general and may never rebound properly.

  A guy turned $27 into $800,000 by shipping the same box back and forth… because of how eBay paid sellers. In the mid-2000s, a seller named Michael Bolton noticed something odd in eBay’s affiliate program. eBay was paying commissions on completed sales, not on actual profit. So if a transaction went through, the affiliate got paid a percentage of the total value. He set up two accounts. One listed an item. The other bought it. Same box, same item, shipped back and forth. Each “sale” triggered a commission. At first it was small. Then he increased the price. $1,000 sales… then $5,000… then higher. The fees didn’t matter because the affiliate payout was larger than the cost of running the transaction. So he kept cycling it. Over and over. Thousands of transactions. At one point, the commissions added up to around $800,000. Nothing new was sold. No real buyers involved. Just the same item moving between accounts. eBay eventually caught on and shut the accounts down.

  California’s 911 system is collapsing — 62,000 minutes of outages per month, engineers scavenging parts on eBay, and a $500M “upgrade” that made it worse. This is legacy infrastructure failing the public when lives are on the line.The Homo Novus Tech Stack solves it now: AI/AGI for intelligent, predictive call triage, instant dispatch, and coordinated response Starlink for resilient, always-on satellite communications that never go down (already proven in California disasters)Unlimited intelligence + unbreakable connectivity = public safety that actually works. The future isn’t patching broken 1970s systems. It’s evolving beyond them. #HomoNovus #TechStack

  @RichieYourKing @CardPurchaser @eBay That’s one of the worst things a seller can do and puts a major strike on their account. Wouldn’t just assume seller faces no consequences from eBay for that sort of thing, although they won’t do anything on a one-off issue

  @MrJimen3z3rd @eBay @eBay shame on you , so many fraudulent counterfeit items on your website. Even after I tell you they are counterfeit you don't take them down. I know you make tons of money from it but you need to protect your buyers. Do you notify all the buyers once an item is suspected to be counterfeit?

  Ebay has been having an insane amount of issues over the past 48hrs; I guess a data center is kaput and the bot that rate limits the site is messed up or something... making it hard to run our shops, that's for sure.

  @SatchelPrice Completely agree, taking packages to the post office the NEXT DAY only for 5 more orders to sell and be fulfilled. It's just not efficient and no I don't have enough space for 10 bubble mailers in my mailbox. 1-2 days ship if this were a problem eBay wouldn't give you a timeline

  @DanLawlis Is this the same as the Pamela Anderson Barb Wire? It's very "hard" to find information on except for ebay issues.

  Michael Barden (@MichaelBarden8) reported 58 minutes ago

  @scooties123 @eBay They can. Someone above them won’t let them. A human programs the algorithm, and since they have a “Global Safety and Security Team”, someone from there should step in, talk to the seller on the phone, then use their critical thinking skills, discernment, training, and wisdom to make a decision to keep their company profitable. If they loose sellers who will eventually make them millions of dollars, they’re making a mistake. Seeing that their last director of global safety and security was convicted in 2024 organized stalking and harassment, it doesn’t seem to be much of a mistake. It just seems like they want to cancel certain sellers for reasons other than community guidelines and standards on their selling platform. Who knows, maybe they got some southern law poverty center money, or maybe it was that contract with Department of homeland security or the FBI?Infragard? That information was available on the FBI‘s website until I made it public, then they took that list down of all of the people they had contracts with. I did multiple videos about it. 400 of the fortune 500 companies held contracts with the FBI Infragard. Why is that? Maybe to make sure that this continues to happen to a certain group of people on a list that they get paid very well for
