-
T Bell (@BellTerryNEBC) reportedThis is outright communist garbage Brainwashing kids with orange shirt lies EBay is branching out from making child killers like Jesse Strang & wants B.C. kids hating Indians as much as Richmond property owners do. Forcing this down kids throats will turn them against natives
-
Boudleaux (@Boudleaux) reportedYou know what I hate, I hate buying things from Ebay, leaving the seller a great review and he (or she) doesn't bother reviewing me as a buyer. So my last review was sometime last year and I've bought at least 4 things since then and paid immediately. No issues, no problems. Sigh

SussexbytheSea (@SussexGreen70) reported@itiscarlita @vinted Vinted is terrible. Had my business until they discriminated against people who are unable to go out and post items, rather than being collected from home by changing how you could post items. Weren't interested in anything I had to say. Went to ebay and it was the best move ever

Raj (@raj_fba) reported@MindOfRusso High price errors are atrocious on amazon right now. I'm getting limited to $29.99 for a product (which is fully unavailable on amazon because no seller is selling at $29.99), so instead I sold hundreds of them on ebay for $60+ instead lol

Steve ✨ (@Sonikks1) reported@tomereymusic FB marketplace & Ebay! Been sat on 2 SPs for almost 2 years, just kept checking here and there. Got them very cheap as they had no power but they're almost always a quick fix though one was very tough.

Centexsales512 (@edmundfitzz) reported@AddictedHoosier @CardPurchaser I saw an ungraded base prizm go for $180 on eBay. Every single card that was listed for under $100 was sold or taken down within 10 minutes of the final whistle. I bought two, couldn’t help myself.

Bairon Blandon (@ba0495) reportedRyan criticizes eBay, yet $GME continues to decline and lose value. Maybe the real focus should be on creating value for GameStop shareholders before criticizing other companies. I am -40% down , thanks @ryancohen 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedeBay $EBAY is sitting on $6.7B in gross debt, paying $61M/quarter in interest, and about to drop $1.2B cash on Depop. Yet management just declared another $0.31/share dividend (~$556M annualized), with tomorrow (May 29) as the ex-dividend date and cash going out June 12. Buffett said it best in his 1984 letter: “Unrestricted earnings should be retained only when there is a reasonable prospect that for every dollar retained by the corporation, at least one dollar of market value will be created for owners.” eBay is returning hundreds of millions to shareholders annually while simultaneously carrying nearly $7B in gross debt at $244M in annual interest charges. That capital could be paying down debt, shoring up the balance sheet ahead of a $1.2B acquisition close, or reinvested into a platform that is visibly losing competitive ground. Instead, the company is prioritizing optics over fundamentals. Active buyers grew just 1% YoY. The platform went down for ~48 hours in April after a cyberattack. The board quietly rewrote its own oversight committee charters after settling a federal cyberstalking criminal case. Sellers are now filing class action suits over surprise fee structures. A company with genuine earnings power and a clean balance sheet paying a dividend makes sense. A leveraged platform with stagnating user growth, mounting legal exposure, and a nine-figure acquisition pending doing the same deserves serious scrutiny.

KKATC CARDS (@KKATCCards) reported@avillanueva3rd @Ob1JohnKenob1 Respectfully, ebay can suck it. I only use them to reduce my tax compliance burden. Otherwise I would sell offline. If they want to ding me for making my operations more efficient that’s their problem. That’s why competition is good.

meme (@MemeKing500) reported@fibonacki My issue with pokemon is looking at the cards it's hard to tell what to type into ebay to find the card

Erik (@Fistfulent) reported@PWPNation @Topps @eBay I'm actually shocked it happens that often... Because as a seller they won't back you up at all when buyers are the problem

Tony (@_tonyishere) reportedin the last 6 month i had issues with @YouTube @eBay and @Payoneer - huge businesses. In each an automated system decided there was “a problem,” instantly slapped me with “permanently suspended,” and that was it. no warning. no appeal. In two of those cases it took around a week to get to a real person in customer support. All of them took 1-3 month to be resolved. in the end ALL THREE said "sorry for the mistake"! i get it, companies grow, get more customers, and mistakes happen. But it is increasingly obvious that big companies are in AI race slashing costs and chasing profits… while treating their #1 asset (the customer) like disposable beta testers. Anyone else living this nightmare? What’s the best way to actually push back? Or is this just the new normal?

Lance Miller (@lmilsfsd) reported@parkerstevenson In 2026, @eBay sellers are still navigating three decades of different user interfaces. It's one of the ugliest, most cobbled together large-scale platforms on the internet. Thousands of services, massive technical debt, organizational debt, and outdated practices baked in. They’ll implement any 'feature' that makes an extra buck. But the real poison is the third-party display ads plastered everywhere that actively send visitors off eBay to other websites and apps. Great for short-term revenue and the stock price. A terrible testament to confidence in their own product.

J85 (@JoshuaN00980143) reported@eBayForBusiness have a problem caused by horrible usps service the last year contacted eBay help but they don’t seem to understand, it’s like they don’t read the message and comprehend it. How can I contact someone that can help? We have been selling on eBay 20+ yrs

The Broken Teacher (@Defilife_ape) reportedThis is one of the worst eBay authentication stories I’ve read yet. An eBay Employee Bought My $10,000 Card. What Happened Next Is Insane How An eBay Employee Used eBay’s Own Authentication Mistake To Reverse A $10,000 Card Sale Looking for opinions from the hobby because this one is wild. On May 17th I sold what was believed to be the first publicly available Steph Curry Finest Fans Gold redemption on eBay for $10,000. After the sale, I noticed the item was not routing through Authentication Guarantee and appeared to be shipping directly to the buyer. Wanting protection for both sides, I called eBay Authentication directly. I explained exactly what the item was and was instructed by Authentication to cancel the transaction and relist the item a specific way so it would route through their program. I followed those instructions exactly. The buyer was fully aware of the situation, knew it was a redemption, knew why the transaction was being canceled and relisted, and knowingly repurchased the card under the new listing. I then spent hundreds of dollars overnighting the redemption from the breaker to myself and overnighting it again to authentication. A few days later eBay physically received the item, inspected it, released it, and shipped it to the buyer. At the exact same time eBay also emailed saying the item was miscategorized and ineligible for Authentication Guarantee. So according to eBay: * The item was accepted. * The item was inspected. * The item was released. * The item was shipped. But somehow it was also ineligible. Meanwhile the market for the card dropped significantly as additional copies surfaced publicly. The buyer, who represented himself as working around eBay/authentication operations and whose messages I will post, is now using that exact technical authentication issue as the basis for an Item Not As Described return despite fully understanding the situation before the second transaction was ever completed. To make matters worse, I now have screenshots showing eBay support instructing the buyer how to file the return. The card delivered was exactly the card purchased. The buyer knew it was a redemption. The buyer knew about the authentication issue. The buyer repurchased after full disclosure. So my question is simple: How is a seller supposed to protect themselves when eBay tells you how to list an item, processes it through authentication, ships it to the buyer, and then allows a return based on the very issue eBay created? I have every screenshot, email, timestamp, tracking update, and conversation documenting the entire timeline and will post them below. @ebay maybe let @GameStop try this for a bit.

Roman Pioneer (@renoipgp) reportedWhat I see is something very different: one seller operating a network of accounts, connected to the same scam pattern, including accounts registered in Kazakhstan and pushing the same fake autograph inventory. I reported all of them to eBay. Hopefully this network will be shut down soon.

Tom Egbers (@EgbersTom) reported@b9bozzi Yes but not the same exact irons. Wear them down and then find a “new” 7 iron on eBay
-
Bobby Fijan (@bobbyfijan) reportedThe only “problem” is that he loved the stories so much that he couldn’t wait for the rest of them to be re-published, so I had to cobble together the rest of them on eBay.

PerkyTank (@PerkyTank) reported@heydomoshi @ryancohen @ValueAddedRS May 6 - Ryan Cohen sells stuff on eBay to buy eBay May 13 - Ryan Cohen raises more than $70,000 via eBay listings If someone wants to track down the exact number he raised, I'd be grateful. I'm assuming each item went for at least $2k.
