𝓑𝓾𝓵𝓵𝓭𝓪𝔀𝓰 (@jchrismcrae) reported@jsquit @Official_LMM_ The problem is selling customs, not making them or giving them away, right? Let's say I sell a $50 pencil on eBay but give away a free custom 1/64 for each pencil sold. Would that be illegal?
-
TB (@TBSSPORTSCARDSx) reportedIs @eBay card scanning totally broken? Anytime I scan a card it now does something completely way off or my last typed search
-
Sports Cards Trading Post (@SportsCardsTP) reported@tradercracks They have become so terrible. They don't even respond to eBay messages anymore.
-
GLYTCH (@GLYTCH) reported@XBOX Such a joke of a drop. Whole team should be ashamed. Yall know half that supply is on ebay being resold. 🙄 Embarrassing in 2026 xbox isn't requiring login to acc at minimum or even xbox live/GP sub or the TENURE THEY TRACK for priority..
-
My Card Journey (@MyCardJourney) reported@kingpindegen I mean they kind of care. If they didn’t then they wouldn’t be taking down eBay listings
-
Bob 🇺🇸🏒 (@BobMorke) reported@CardPurchaser It's not @CheckOutMyCards. (COMC). They used to be the BEST on ebay. Now their volume has eclipsed their service ability. Slow ship times, no top loaders anymore, insane shipping costs, and zero response on issues. Used to love them, but will never buy from them again.

Impressive (@RocketSymbols) reportedI'm seeing some speculation that Ryan Cohen is preparing to return the money on the zero interest loans at the close of the 35 day conversion period which is why the stock is continuing to trend down. I didn't believe this at first but after seeing the vice grip the indenture put on the potential eBay deal it actually does make some sense that he would completely clean the slate, albeit keep $1.4b through equity conversion.

***** Kaperki (@carjdun) reported@SecretService On January 9 2013, Howard County MD, Agent Scott Windish and Agent Nick Jonte and 1 More agent came from Baltimore downtown Secret Service headquarters, blackmailed us saying that we will shut down your business account if you don’t give us the money in your bank account because of 2 stolen phones we purchased from eBay without any knowledge . Agent Scott Windish then opened my car glove box and took 3k cash and took my phone on the way to Wells Fargo and we waited at the Wells Fargo waiting for the teller in line for 10 min and he made me say the teller write a 39.000 dollars cashiers check under SECRET SERVICE and after they took me to STARBUCKS and made me sign paperworks… Need our money back 39k was seized as check , 3 k cash and 15 attorney fees .

Abe Strongjohn (@AbeStrongjohn) reportedi found the first few issues of the OG run of CF at a fleamarket after EVS was trying to start **** with my friends, I put them up on ebay just to get rid of them not only did I lose money, ebay eventually had to force the winning bidder to actually pay
-
Rich Krupa (@rtkrupa) reported@courtney883 These things never go down in price on eBay. The sleeping under the desk one from last year still selling for over 200 bucks on eBay.
-
Left Turn Logic (@LeftTurnLogic) reported@LsTdiecast @simondiecast You don't need to link some random Twitter account. Nobody's eBay account is being shut down. Stop lying on the internet for sympathy points.
-
Dan Wolfe 🐺 (@danthewolfe) reportedPeople are selling these on eBay for a few hundred dollars. Is it possible you could find a way to make a quick buck without breaking kids hearts. Two giant thumbs down. I hope @vancanadians gets those kids two bobble heads.
-
Mike (@stackthesegains) reported@615gh0st It’s crazy how bad USPS has gotten. I’ve been buying lots of singles for my collection on eBay and tcgplayer and I’ve had so many issues lately. I’ve had to request refunds because some stuff never showed up.
-
Vsadix2112 (@Vsadix2112) reported@HagaEme @cryaboutitboy The point is to not purchase anything that will put money in Sony playstation's pocket. People are purchasing second hand games from ebay and such. And showing no PSN activity by disconnecting from the internet to show the scope of players participating in the outage. More or less.
-
Christopher Taylor (@iheartdogecoin) reported@eBay The seller even told me: “We apologize for the title which we were not the author of and did not write. We will not be able to issue this return.” But eBay policy says sellers remain responsible for listing content created using eBay tools. @eBay, please explain this
-
Wolfy (@Wolfsbora) reported@pr4m0d Yeah, Analogue stuff sells out quickly (one of the many issues people have with them). I'll avoid it. I think I'll just get a Duo-R off of ebay and mod it myself
-
The Proletariat Utilitarian Republic (@clayscottbrown) reportedYou have to instigate a return with ebay. Simply click on your Order Number at the top of this page and utilize the 'drop down' menu for Returns on the Order Page.
-
GiZmO (@gizmo38_323) reported@Kidskull51 I heard ebay was gonna take post like this down because they can't sell them before it's even out
-
LucySilver (@MissLAngel) reported@Lammyisback The worst ten years 35-45 included losing both my parents and both my in-laws, two babies in 19mths, both via c-sections, lockdown whilst both babies were toddlers alongside perimenopause. Tried working, broke down. Now selling things on ebay for a living. 👍🏼
-
Mable Joseph (@mablesjoseph) reportedI love it when people break things down on X @JayKapoorNYC I agree with Jay here, I myself wondered the economics of building and providing inference. Its not like it can't be done but here is something to consider an NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GB300 NVL72 rack-scale system costs between $3 million and $6.5 million. so, its not like buying a GPU from Ebay to setup ur own Inference shop.

Monkey D. Rell (@prometheusRel34) reported@eBay going to basically full AI support id fn terrible. Can't get an answer to a simple fn question. Guess imma go to mecari after all. Less fees on top of it
-
Maryam (@rthompson94) reported@XBOX I've been trying to place an order for 2 hrs & the store keeps throwing error messages meanwhile it's up on ebay for double the price! I really hope this doesn't happen with the console preorder tomorrow 😭 Wish you took the steps to protect your actual player base from scalpers

Cosmic Kitsune 🌌🦊💎【 IRIAM 】Merch out now/OffKai (@CosmicKitsune13) reported@KuroYuushaVT It's a j-fashion (they also have bjd collectables) website like eBay. So it's mostly other people who own the fashion selling and buying stuff. I mostly wear ****** fashion so I like seeing if anyone has my dream dresses I've been hunting down.
-
True Become False (@trubecomefalse) reported@thestreamingdev @alxfazio 256GB RAM M3 Ultras are still selling on Ebay NIB for ~8-9k even this morning. Unless we magically get more RAM production in the next 12-18 months prices won't be coming down. Maybe after that.
-
Chris Matthias (parody) (@thetrickster88) reported@AcmePacks @eBay On your phone go to app settings and you can drill down into notification settings and you might be able to turn off notifications specifically for live events like I did.

coc𖹭.ᐟ (1.1/5) (@laviecocove) reportedI ended up ordering a used Fujifilm Finepix XP10 from eBay (since I mostly plan to use it outdoors) just to test out first and then I'll work to investing in something else down the line
-
Poke Hunter (@PokeHunterr7kz) reported@JThrock24 @PokemonRestockr Highly doubt this was bought on eBay. He said someone walked in to his shop to sell it. eBay is taking down active listings for 30th anniversary product that’s already been ripped or is shipping before release date. Preorders don’t violate the street date
-
New Millennium Cyanide Biden (@punishedcornpop) reported@afrocosmist Nothing wrong with used server drives. I've been running 2 HGST helium filled 10TB I got for $100 per on ebay for quite a while now. My NAS is a HP EliteDesk i7-6700 I got for $70. I use Unraid and Jellyfin and it runs pretty flawlessly.

GeekyBoarders (@GeekyBoarders) reportedAs the undisputed sovereign ruler of Throat Goat Ethan Van Sciver's dwindling fans, I happily receive your apology, and throw in directly into the rubbish bin where it belongs with all your other lies and broken promises. As Ethan's version of comicsgate continues its RAPID DECLINE. We have a message here from the slimeball himself. This reads as a declaration of TOTAL DEFEAT. Ethan has spent the last decade plus making excuses and and ignoring his every-growing laundry list of late and unfulfilled projects. He has treated his "fans" like absolute garbage. An endless money cow that he can wring dry and whip if the dare question him for being late. Now he stands in a situation where his word cannot be trusted. He has lied too many times, he has turned on too many fans for demanding him to be even a a modicum of the "professional" he always claims to be. These words ring as hollow as his fat rotting gourd head. To use a word that Ethan himself used to use ironically, and now describes as "hibbity jibbity", the least two years have humbled Ethan. In 2025 he watched comicsgate 's decline hit an acceleration point and start hemorrhaging money at a rate like never before. At the end of the year Ethan declared that he was "limping". Ethan and his zeros hoped that 2026 would being a revival of comicsgate, now, 9 months into the year, that revival has not manifested. In fact, comicsgate went from the freefall of 2025, to hitting the ground and splattering in 2026. Money has dried up from all sources. Ethan has been reduced to juggling MULTIPLE penny ante moneymaking schemes to suckle the last few dribbles of cash out of the corpse of what was comicsgate. eBay, begging for superchats, doing commissions for table scraps, opening epanhadling ko-fi page, selling "prints", he is trying every flim-flam he can manage. Saggy Face Shane Davis's BackDoorMeBro was supposed to be the saving grace for Ethan. And it has turned out to be yet enough unmitigated disaster. Last year Ethan had his first cyberfrog book campaign that failed to reach 100k in 24 hours, taking a week to reach 100k. This year Ethan is looking at his first Cyberfrog book campaign that has failed to earn $100k in a week. And there are no signs that the bleeding will stop. Now that he had BlackedMeBro Ethan's plan is to further devalue to the Cyberfrog property by pumping out bilge slop. More campaigns for worthless spin-off books. The value of Cyberfrog as a franchise is shot any excitement that once surrounded the 2018 revival is long dead between delays, Ethan's behavior in comicsgate, and now the slop-pumping.

KH Anon (@KH_Anon_2) reported@resellingnews It’s either incompetence from distributors or theft at the packaging and/or production level, the same thing happened in the sneaker scene IIRC. Also, that’s the ONLY one that @eBay took down so far. There’s a Gengar ex SIR, Salamence ex SIR, and other cards that are still up.
