David Haar (@davidhaar) reportedAnyone else get autocharged by @dcsports87 recently? Won an auction & got autocharged immediately. Typically stack auction wins over a few days & then take advantage of combined shipping & handling. Ebay glitch or how dcsports87 auctions are set up now? @CardPurchaser

Pedantic Killjoy (@PedanticKilljoy) reported@jdowrites I remember ordering a DVD of something off of eBay and getting this by mistake. It said Takashi Miike on it so I said **** it and watched it anyway. When it was over I thanked the seller for his error.

Brayden Segat (@BraydenSegat) reported@ToppsGallery @CardPurchaser @eBay Yes I have used their customer service in the last few months. Had no problem getting a phone number or a real agent to help me

🕊🏴☠️idkshit🏴☠️🕊 (@Benjamino69420) reportedIdk.. I dont see how this goes bad for Gamestop in any way. I honestly dont. All eyes on Ebay. Ebay deal doesn't go through? - Cohen sells all shares purchased and sells his call portion of the pairs. - When he does, the price of Ebay decreases, and in doing so, shorts pile in. He rides this downslide and cashes in on the puts on the way down. - Gamestop collects BIG. - At this point Ebay would be even cheaper. And you could essentially do the exact same process over again with bigger exposure.. Ebay accepts the deal? - Ryan creates a money making, de-leveraging machine. - Debt will be paid off very quickly and the bloat cut almost instantly. - Net profit would skyrocket. Debt paid off quick. - Any "dilution" wouldnt be noticed by shareholders at all. It is truly win win. Price action only currently allows opportunities to those in a position to buy. Remember idk ****!

CG Horror (@CGHorror) reported@G_I_DAVE All these pics, I'm seriously of thinking of just slapping down the money for one on eBay. There's a retro toy convention in Hershey this summer, so I might hold out for that.
-
Mr. Rotella (@BallyhooDome) reported@chrispavlovski Ok I’m down. If bidding is happening, I’m guessing like eBay. So bets would have to happen in real time. Could we use this to also get realtime analytics for what people are watching and when they are watching as it’s happening?

tovid (@divot332) reported@poorandstupider @JRL1Golf I got a new set of og’s 2-pw still in the box and two used sets I have been buying used sets off a guy on eBay outta Japan he’s got thousands and pretty cheap my plan is to restore a bunch of old blades I got a good metal guy so buy cheap heads and build me sets so far I have done 660 670 a set of muira baby blades. It was a success so I’m gonna do more got about a gram gram and a half loss on the heads after refinish nothing a little lead down the head can’t fix and all in I’m like 1000 a set shafts and grips are expensive

Stuart Zarahn (@ZarahnStuart) reportedI ordered a T-Fal stainless steel set, 11 inch and 8.5 inch on Ebay which just arrived. The problem? only the 11 was in the box, no 8.5..I let the seller know. Now comes the fun part, can't wait..

The New Mocha Joe (@TheNewMochaJoe) reported@CGasparino Must be getting the eBay deal. The market seems to be indicating that with GME down and eBay up.
-
Lem (@Ohlem_) reported@shadows_united Debated Brothership just because of the deal but that Marvel vs Capcom collection might hold me down until Tokon drops. Almost like those bastards at GameStop said they didn’t need the EBay deal and had other means of making money smh

(Not *****) Dom (@DomABCDEFG) reported@tm1515152005 eBay. On mobile go to selling > scroll down to performance > traffic

HotDawg (@HotDawgFingers) reported@JPie25 Report them. Ebay is cracking down on these ********. Now if we can get @ebay to go after the people who abuse the return process

Josh - Littleton Card Collector (@LittletonCards) reported@thehollylin1 I use the Ding Defenders on Amazon, similar product. Haven’t had an issue and have 100s of ebay PWE orders since I started using them.

MainStreetPerth 🌸🐸🇦🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧 (@MainPerth) reported@alt_w_v_g Thank you! As an ebay seller for many years the changes have only made everything harder. You MUST pay for 'Promoted Listings' (a misnomer if ever there was one!) to even be normally seen. You have to sell an item to be seen. You have to list an item to be seen. The search engine is TERRIBLE. Absolutely hopeless to buy or sell. There is SO much that needs sorting out. It's as if the company has actively TRIED to lose money over the last 10+ years.

JustJoey (@JoeAmariii) reported@KazHeatCulture @FreedomMatt1 @BowTiedPrivacy it is what it is right now unfortunately. i just spent 290$ on a 8TB WD Red for my NAS. you can get used from ebay but you are taking a gamba on how many hours the drive has, bad sectors, errors, etc.

Pokemaam (@poke_maam) reportedSellers all be saying bc @eBay is buyer friendly. It is not! Sucks both ways, benefiting bad actors but not genuine issues. Cases Ive lost: - Seller shipped slab in envelope with no protection. Cracked slab arrive. Seller reviews in revent month had many complaints about cracked slabs. Screenshotted reviews and my own cracked slab. I lost. Apparently multiple complaints from many buyers dont matter to ebay. - Seller sent me a PSA 8 instead of PSA 9, opened a case, wrote to seller and seller said he would refund. Went dead. Window for refunds closed on the MiA. Wrote to ebay, says no refund even though wrong item sent. Im sure everyone on both the buyer and seller sides have their own ebay horror stories. So indeed, they are ready for disruption. Fees are less an issue if service is good. Often wonder if they have an actual human reviewing cases.

Weezy Smokémon (@PokemanzW) reported@stiznerk It’s all over eBay for $300 lol. Yeah even with restocks these prices have not gone down. Yeah it’s either I get it at MSRP or closer to it. Or I’m just never going to own one lol
-
Jack Dillard (@Kraven1776) reported@seymourbutts741 @ryancohen Dude eBay was the bait, wallstreet and apparently all bbby community took the massive eBay bait. This is the Kansas city shuffle. Thats all I wanted to say in the spacecall, but silencing ideas and shutting down thought that go against the consensus group think is lame.

Joe Barrow (@barrowjoseph) reported@triangularpants But the price is super volatile. 3090 Ti’s can’t really be had on eBay for less than $1200 rn, but ECC DDR4 online has come down by like 20% from when I bought. Storage is also inflated, for the RAID array I pounced on a good deal on r/homelabsales.

Mike (@bcmike2342) reported@ry_childers @CardPurchaser I'm in Texas. I use ESE all the time with no issues. I had one buyer that got upcharged to Ground Advantage last year and I paid them back and got eBay to reimburse me..then I filed a complaint with the postmaster general. I sent about 3000 ESE last year.

Magus (@TraderMagus) reported"How did you get your starting capital?" -I worked 50h a week @ corp job -I worked 10h a month "on call" for corp sales -I bought & sold stuff on ebay; couple hours a week(normally during my day job working hours) -Middle man side hustle; 10-15 hours a week Worked around 60-75 hours per week With remained of my time I studied markets I lived far below my means and invested all my extra capital into equities/metals and then crypto I grinded like this from 2015 to 2019 until I had my first really successful swing trade with Chainlink(avg buy $0.43 & sold into google pump close to $5) I finally had a capital base from saving, investing & trading This is when I started planning to quit my job and go full time From 2019 I really leveled up my trading putting every ounce of effort/time I had into the game Late 2020 into 2021 my capital base exploded from being long BTC/ETH early, riding Defi and then playing the rotate game into Metaverse I still worked really long hours until 2022 bear market, the first time I slowed down and focused on my life Fast forward to 2026, I still would say I outwork most people but health and enjoying my day to day is my primary goal moving forward Intraday is like a dayjob with small wins/loses Swing Trading/Portfolio is where the real growth comes from

Teresa N (@msunc1985) reported@eBay I am very disappointed at the service I have received from your customer service support, they are rude, and totally useless. My issue is still not resolved and several just hung up on me. I suggest you change to Grok for your customer service. I requested to speak with a supervisor numerous times and they refuse. This is unacceptable customer service.😔
-
Ashton (@clo4c5) reported@dealerhustles @thedealsguy_ The biggest problem with price glitch products in the States is that people do not buy anything on Marketplace. It does not matter if it is old or new. Unless you have time to invest in eBay it is hard to move those items. Unlike India

Dynasty Cards (@dynastycards_) reportedHere’s an ebayer to avoid. I listed this Flagg (sold under $16) as pack fresh bc it was. I didn’t inspect as I had no intentions to grade but I do check for glaringly obvious issues. This guy will end up costing me $6 to ship to him and $6 to ship back all within ebay TOS just to get a free chance to inspect a card for perfect gem specs. Feels abusive to the TOS and certainly frustrating. I’ll just refund, eat it and avoid excess shipping. Lmk if you think I’m out of pocket. @CardPurchaser

Top Stock Alerts (@TopStockAlerts1) reportedGameStop has increased its stake in eBay to 6.55% from about 5% amid CEO Ryan Cohen’s shocking push to take over the online marketplace, according to a regulatory filing. The move to hike its stake came after eBay rejected the $56 billion takeover proposal, calling the unsolicited bid “neither credible nor attractive.” EBay flagged multiple issues with GameStop’s bid, citing concerns around the uncertainty of the proposed financing structure, as well as potential operational challenges and the debt burden the deal could create. $GME

J. Davis (@Wh1teGravy227) reported@wallydollarlive @SaycheeseDGTL My wife and I found a can of Cheeto's what was printed and sealed upside down. We've kept it in hopes that one day we can sell it on Ebay. When we found it, I looked and there was a similar one selling for $200. People buy and sell the craziest ****.
