  @BoilerPaulie Sooo, is eBay shutting down soon or something?🤔

  @FamousVariety What is the play was never eBay or the Amazon killer. Instead it was Teddy the eBay killer. Demonstrate what’s wrong with eBay. Then launch the competitor that fixes those problems. RC took on Amazon in pet foods and now. Now he takes on eBay and does the impossible again. The narrative writes itself.

  @Greyfox2401 @SabreWuff The problem with selling things on ebay for $5 is that you'll need another $12 just to cover the expense of shipping the item.

  @eBay_UK your site only allows age verification if you have a credit card, no other method offered. I dont have a credit card - its a crazy rip off - but have had eBay account for 22 years. Fix this please it makes no sense. Also - your AskeBay account is suspended, fix that too!

  In the next month I will be winding down my ebay account. There will be a huge postal increase coming, too many scammers, and slow delivery times. Ebay is becoming a waste of time!!!

  @KatoKLynn @FAYMAYent We also don't use line here. I chatted with the FayMay Entertainment line account and told them about the issues and they want to take care of it. It would be easier if they just sell it on Ebay or Amazon for international Fans. I don't know why Thailand don't use those options

  @ValueAddedRS So @eBay is an auction site losing buyers & sellers, run by a board that turned down a $125 bid — a 46% premium — as ‘neither credible nor attractive’ while its officers sold below $90. $EBAY sits at $110 — after $GME 🔒 7.78% economic exposure at a discount. The only thing not credible or attractive are those feeding off eBay’s perverse incentives. Can’t wait for @ryancohen to shatter EPS with the value $EBAY couldn’t deliver to its shareholders. $EBAY $GME

  Bought a PS5 on ebay and turns out the seller lives 15 minutes from me so I saved a shitload on shipping by just driving to his house and picking it up. The problem is... the game I ordered hasn't arrived yet, hasn't even shipped actually lol

  @Addicted2Jeter @minj00nglvr I usually buy from a Korean store on eBay that is very secure since I’ve never had a problem with them, and they sell the digipacks by members as well as the unit ones I don’t live in the US so I don’t have any other option

  @Houseknech9360 @wilsonhlthcoach That’s awesome. We all lived that experience for the last fifty years. I repeated it a dozen times managing work trucks for the family business. There used to be a time when $2000 and eBay motors would get me a Toyota basic pickup or gmc sierra or ford f150 that would survive a year of employees abusing it. Good times. Many memories of all the times I had to flat tow a broken down truck back to the office and decide if it was worth fixing. Maintenance crews are awesome, they’d just leave a truck full of tools and walk home to call me, maybe stop for a pack of cigarettes on the way. No hurry at all. Thank god for cellphones in the early millennium right? That let me add managing employees phones to the list of things I did automatically. Phones were less trouble than trucks though. Anyway the point is that there’s a time in life when you’ll put up with the inexpensive but time consuming and it’s honorable and productive and all that. Then there’s a time when you’re just not willing to mess with it anymore for whatever reason. That’s when it makes sense to buy a Tesla. You’ll just spend less time screwing with the mechanics of moving yourself around. You’ll realize driving is a part time job that stresses you out and makes your back hurt and increases your distraction. Just pick a place you need to be with your phone and share the link to your Tesla. It’ll be ready to leave when you get in. Seatbelt, tap the screen, and take a break or make calls or have a coffee or pet your dog while you don’t worry about traffic.

  @eBay Customer service bot suspended my account. No reason given in the email. Bot doesn’t provide assistance either. Can’t login to see or fix any issues. Please advise. don't bother with telling us to use the "Chat with Us" link on the site. It's not helpful

  @fintaxdude eBay is easy. Create account. Go to my eBay. Scroll down to scan item. Scan card. Make sure your card matches what pops up and you can see what the card has sold for in the past two years.

  @Pittsburgh1Pete 1. I’ve mostly moved to Buy it Now, and most always willing to negotiate. I will also proactively send offers on things I’m willing to move that have been sitting on eBay for a while. 2. If shipping is reasonable, I have no problem paying it. If it’s painfully obvious you’re putting extra margin in your shipping cost, I am probably going to avoid buying off of you, unless it’s a high dollar/limited card I can’t get anywhere else.

  Why your AI eBay listings come out generic and the fix The mistake is structural. A fresh chat every time starts cold no memory of your inventory or standards. Generic in, generic out. The fix: a Claude Project. It stores instructions permanently, so you operate a trained specialist, not a blank chat. The key principle: authentication before pricing. The model confirms the item's era from the photos before it writes a word and never guesses. Why it matters: that step is the gap between a $25 listing and an $80 one. The edge was never the code. It's the instruction that runs first.

  eBay is just knocking it out of the park!! Got a problem? Talk to our automated assistant because our actually employees don’t do work, they just collect a paycheck! Good luck on receiving assistance!

  Update: The bundle limited prints are now reduced to $75 - this and other things were marked down on his ebay store - Evan tried to blame his warehouse employee for changing the prices- see trashcast 254 but he has yet to revert the prices it seems 10 hours later!

  X completely disappeared the 1st attempt at this as a share post. Trying again. Take 2. eBay follow up: Judging by the responses to the OP, I'm late to the party about 'feeBay's' atrocious fee scheme, deceptively called "selling costs." Oh well. I'm going to shed some 'sunlight' on this anyway, on the slim chance that eBay might change their ways. I've been an eBay user almost from the beginning and have used it extensively in times past as both a buyer and a seller, with great results. I loved the way it used to be, but not anymore. This recent effort was based on my past experiences. I thought it would still be a great way to get my grandkids involved and let them earn some money, teach them a little about ecommerce and get rid of some old inventory in the process. I thought I'd begin with about 400 items, of the 1,000 or so I have of old, obsolete NOS car parts that eBay used to be perfect for. The results at this point are shocking to say the least. I hesitated to disclose the data publicly, on the fear they'd figure out which account is mine with that data and we'd just go from dismal, to abysmal, or the account just cancelled outright. But it's actually worse than I thought and my attitude now is: unless it changes I'm done anyway. So screw it. Here goes. Of about 400 items, only 43 have sold in 3 months, which itself is terrible for brand new, obsolete (hard to find), New Old Stock (NOS) items. After about 3 months, I thought everything would be gone by now. Worse than that though is the sales data, as shown in the annotated screenshot below, from my account seller profile last night. Of the $889.25 total sales, less taxes, our net is $359.56. All of my listings are 'buyer pays shipping,' so there's no shipping costs included in this data. That means the rest, $529.69 went to 'feeBay' in 'selling costs.' Doing the math, that's 59.6% of the total for: my materials, my work creating the listings, managing it, and my grandkids 'pick and pack' efforts. Basically 60% in fees!! And we get to keep 40.4% of that!?!? That's outrageous and a great way to kill what used to be a good company. @eBay, you've put yourself in a vulnerable position, leaving room for someone to startup a competitor that conducts business the way old eBay did, minimal fees, users making money in their spare time and having fun doing it. Maybe @X would? Your move, eBay. Choose wisely.

  $GME just blew past Q1 earnings by 172% and Ryan Cohen is waging a takeover bid for eBay. The community is buzzing that the short squeeze is imminent. Sales jumped 14% to $835.3 million, with collectibles soaring 65%. Ryan Cohen's bold $56 billion offer to buy eBay, while rejected, puts GME on the map for strategic moves. A new $2 billion buyback is also on the table. There's a 32% chance the stock climbs from here, driven by 14.1% short interest and the narrative momentum from Cohen's actions. If buyers step in to bet against the shorts and the collectibles trend continues, prices could get a lift. However, the stock sits below its longer-term average price, a sign that the overall trend is still pointing down. With eBay already saying no to Cohen's offer, and fundamental doubts still present for a retailer, there's a 34% chance the stock could fall further if enthusiasm fades. Keep an eye on any further moves by Ryan Cohen or the collectibles segment's performance in the next report.
