    @tstoics @RVA_Bobbles I have had several issues on ebay lately. Purchased items not be shipped. That sucks man.

    @RedskinsArsenal Hell no. There may be a bubble, but it hasn’t hit yet. I did sell my all aces card if that’s what you’re referring to, 400 for a raw with 70k+ print run just doesn’t seem sustainable. The all aces card post was showing numbers coming down, but I think someone was manipulating the postings on eBay

    eBay when selling: It was an issue on our end that caused the item not to ship to the right location, but ultimately we’re going to force a refund out of you to make the buyer happy. eBay when buying: Oh your item didn’t arrive? I mean geez sucks to be you I guess….

    an issue I don't see people talking about in this discourse is that bootlegs are so hated because they usually try to pass themselves off as official. go onto amazon or ebay and look for a figure, and theres a hundred listings of bootlegs which aren't listed as such

    @meganarianism Lol I guess this reflects back into real life, Its way more convenient to just slap it up on ebay than individual FB groups, responding to messages and everything, but its like cmon, atleast fix the roads in Durotar....

    aryeh salovey (@asalovey96) reported

    @619booyahkah So what’s the alternative fir sellers? 95% of the time you either keep your asking price and wait too long to sell and the card goes down in value, or you sell it on ebay a little below or at your asking price then they get 87% of the sale price after fees. Either way you make the most money more often than not by selling to someone offering 90%. You don’t know the game Chris, and that’s ok. You will either learn one day or continue to be a bitter hater that no one wants to buy from

    I dropped $15,000 on SSDs this week It sounds insane until you look at the math - Walmart dropped a $290 solid state drive down to $130 - Amazon price matched instantly at $130 - eBay comps were holding firm at $220+ Our group bought hundreds of these before it went out of stock. All of these SSDs will move for $50 profit each easily. If you aren't monitoring for price drops like this, you're missing out on FREE MONEY in @AscendFBA

    The problem is you don’t understand accounting. You’re just looking at revenue. I can resell **** all day on eBay but if I pay $100 for it and sell it for $105, how much did I really make?

    I had to consult the Oracles (ai chatbots) to figure out the proper spell (prompt) to use in order to summon the demon (ebay customer service employee (actually quite nice)) to solve the issue Looks like everything will be resolved now. Let it be known that you CAN access a human on ebay customer support, if you're a powerful enough wizard

    Day 196 Total sales: $374.99 eBay earnings: $180.35 Buy cost (COG): $37.40 Net profit: $142.95 ROI: 382% Not every day goes exactly as planned. Today included a cancellation on a higher dollar order before it shipped, but that's part of the business. The good news is I still have the inventory & can sell it again. The biggest takeaway after nearly 200 days is that consistency beats perfection. A canceled order doesn't erase the work you've put in. A slow day doesn't define your business. And one good day doesn't mean you can take your foot off the gas. The focus remains the same Keep listing. Refresh older inventory. Adjust stale pricing. Source quality products. Let the numbers compound over time. Every profitable day, even the imperfect ones, moves the business forward. On to Day 197. 📦💪

    @toypixx I paid way too much on eBay. Never had a problem with Jada until this last comic con.

    @DavidV_81 @artur @eBay You probably have defaults in place that you set 17 years ago. eBay is settings defaults that result in outrageous shipping prices and the seller has no clue. This is something eBay needs to fix, and can't be blamed on sellers.

    @trustcuz As a rule of thumb, I don't buy Chinese pokemon cards from first time vendors in China. I've been confirmed scammed from Chinese vendors with 2600 99.9% reviews and I've seen Chinese vendors that had 6000 get closed down by eBay.

    @WILLILL74 On eBay I’ll search the title or UPC, then under filters click “sold”. This shows what the items have actually sold for recently. We did build a Keepa for eBay but it’s down for maintenance right now.

    @0xiTweets @Sans_Google It has already had its logic board replaced once due to the well-known bootloop issue. I also have a Red Hydrogen One (yes, that weird overpriced phone with the stereoscopic 3D camera and stereoscopic 3D screen, but I got it on the cheap from eBay) as another Android 8.x device.

  • brosephsmith420
    Broseph Smith (@brosephsmith420) reported

    Ebay is ******* broken lmao. Got an item returned as "unverified" from authentication. (It's real, they're retarded) However, the shipping for the return package never updated. So, the auto-refund didn't register. And I can't manually refund the customer, since the "authentication guarantee" won't register a full refund as a "resolved dispute", thereby dinging my account. And when I go to ebay help now, this is the screen I get, because I typed exactly 4 questions longer than a sentence into their search bar. It is impossible to speak with a human on ebay. I guess I'll just ******* eat this for now, but I don't know what to do. And I hate that "working for yourself" still involved on relying upon retarded companies run by ****** Indian AIs, so you have to fight to make the few bucks profit you get after the dumb fees.

  • RDKLInc
    John Bumstead (@RDKLInc) reported

    @artur @DavidV_81 @eBay 99% is eBay auto-calculating. When you tell the sellers their shipping price, they have no idea and want to fix it, but how to fix it is absolutely unclear aside from setting it to a fix shipping rate.

    Wait why is the official corpse merch store down thought it didn't exist anymore?! also corpse himself said "please don't buy fake merch, they're trash & low quality" i brought my corpse hoodie from eBay it still is in good condition and it's real. why do people do this.

    @CardGameNomad Do booster box prices tank if the distributor charges almost $400 before it even gets to the LGS? Ridiculous Pokemon company allows that kind of greed. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they took down an ebay listing of an unreleased card. But seems small potatoes in comparison.

    @hinamorisenju They always are available in your list for years, but when actually you decide to watch it, it won’t be on anything and you gotta track down an eBay copy or buy it on Vudu or whatever.

    @pokemartalerts Should apply to all new sets amount of times you see PC preorders go live within 5 mins eBay are flooded with confirmed preorder listings. Ban private seller accounts shouldn’t doing this combat the issue of scalping

    @ryzerth I found an ASR 1001 on eBay for €50, listed as "not working"; actually, it works just fine. It's just slightly bent in one spot, but other than that, everything's fine :)
