David Gerow GoHabsGo 🇨🇦 (@davidgerow) reported@fraser_moe49528 @TricolorSports I seen some single cards on EBay, they’re terrible.
-
Atrain (@Northwest_coins) reported@BlastoiseBaller @DannypTCG Ebay doesn’t require shipping within a few days. You can specifically put that you intend to ship in one month or two months and as long as the person wants to pay for it and buy it then it’s not a problem. I just bought a card and had Ebay ship it to PSA for me. Four months.

Poke_MD (@ThePokeMD) reported@businessdhhrd Biggest issue with eBay is the fact they ALWAYS side with the buyer. Not the fees
-
SlingSh0t (@MrSlingsh0t) reported@footworkoffical @cutty03bk I mostly have problems with new drops where a seller will just change their mind and hold for a higher price once they confirm. I even experienced that behavior on eBay, although it’s rare But, like I said, I have goat credit to burn so we’ll see how the next one goes 🤞🏼

LikeASherwin Gaiden The Man Who ErasedHis Username (@LikeASherwin) reported@feline_cult I'm not sure. I dont think this has ever been a problem for me. Its only a matter of a few ebay or amazon clicks for anything I could have ever wanted lately.

orwellvalley (@orwellvalley) reported@redrumlisa Next it'll be you'll need a receipt to prove you bought it and when, even if you're just trying to sell personal belongings. My hobby was hifi built up over years, until I had to sell most of it to pay my leasehold apartments major works bill. At this rate HMRC may in the future be all over eBay sales like that, unaware of the tragedy behind it and just seeing noughts placing the burden of proof on you. I can see that coming. This government is doing the equivalent of looking down the back of the sofa for money. We're broke.

paxton (@paxtondang) reported[WHY I MADE A TRADING CARD APP AT 16 Y/O + What the app is] About a year ago, my best friend and I got back into Pokémon cards because of the new hype cycle around modern cards. After entering a completely different field of Pokémon from when we were kids, we realized everything wrong with card shows, eBay, scalping, and the limitations of the hobby. Originally, we wanted to create a marketplace with 0% fees, however, we soon realized that buying and selling wasn't the problem. The problem was trading: 1. eBay and card shows take huge chunks of value when you try sell cards 2. The reason people sell their cards is just to buy more cards (an infinite cycle of fees that decrease the value of your collection) 3. If you want to trade (at a card show or a shop), your cards will only be valued at around 70-80% 4. There's no way to trade online 5. There's no safe or pure way to find other collectors for trading (only options are social media or Facebook Marketplace) So, we made Utopia (naming it after the "perfect destination" for collectors), where collectors can find other collectors in their area that have the cards they want for 0% fees.

-XO-Masada (@XOMasada) reported@ValueAddedRS I use eBay to sell sports cards and their AI sucks! It tells me that the cards are perfect when they are not! It finds only 80% of the cards! AI needs to be fixed @eBay or just sell to GameStop so they can fix this!

ClickHole (@ClickHole) reportedA traffic jam that makes you late for a job interview. A cousin’s funeral that forces you to miss a sick bachelorette party. You may have had bad timing cause issues in your life, but it’s likely nothing compared to the bad timing that totally robbed this man of a once-in-a-lifetime experience: This man missed the birth of his daughter because he got an email announcing changes to the terms and conditions in eBay’s user agreement just as his wife went into labor. Ugh, eBay…Why’d you have to do this man like that? When 28-year-old fishing guide Calvin Porter and his wife, 38-year-old fellow fishing guide Anita Porter, got pregnant, Calvin spent the pregnancy anticipating the birth of his first child as if it were Christmas morning. But when Anita’s water broke at 2 a.m. last Thursday, Calvin opened his phone to check the weather, and his heart sank. The message sat at the top of his inbox: There had been an update to eBay’s user agreement, and it was a big one. While much of the text of eBay’s terms and conditions remained the same boilerplate fine print that Calvin had agreed to when he signed up as an eBay user back in 2014 to sell a small collection of seashells he’d found at a garage sale, bullet points in the email outlining the updates showed that the Disclaimer of Warranties and Vehicle Purchases and Sales sections had seen some updates that he’d have to go over before he’d be able to hold his wife’s hand while she gave birth to their precious daughter. “I’ll be there as soon as I can!” Calvin said hurriedly as he kissed his heavily pregnant, contracting wife and shoved her into a cab along with the “go bag” they’d packed three months prior in anticipation of this very event. He rushed back inside, put a pot of coffee on, and fired up his laptop to dive into all the fine print he’d have to agree to before continuing as a responsible eBay user, trying to push away the images of his beautiful wife bringing their daughter into the world all alone. This is definitely the bummer of all bummers. Obviously eBay had no idea they’d be robbing Calvin of such a magical experience when they chose to send out this update at 11:46 p.m. that night, and you can’t expect a corporation not to cover all its legal bases just because people might be having kids. Hopefully Calvin and Anita get pregnant again soon and give birth at a time when Calvin is free from updates to Citi’s Online User Agreement or DraftKings’ Terms of Use so he can finally experience the magic of becoming a father in person. Such a bummer!

San Koha Industries (@sankohaindustry) reported@rg3dprints Like...if I find a full time job great, but honestly I want to make and fix ****, which is why I started selling my stuff on Ebay, but I need a job with steady income to take this company past a hobby shop I do for fun...I started hitting up factories today, but ill try chatgpt.

Michael Soeding (@Sensenmann37) reported@PeakHobby Finally, said it when this started becoming a problem people were using Cards are a way to launder money. thats why i report sellers on ebay to the irs.

LostInFilms🎬 (@Lost_In_Films_) reported@Pete17082017 Having looked online it's widespread although that doesn't help me right now least we know its an eBay issue 🙄

Charlie (@tuna930) reported@thestevenwoods @eBay My biggest issue is that they started charging for relistining. I used to have 1200 items on there now I have way less because now they want 35 cents a relist after the initial 250. I use a different service for my "cheaper" items now.

An Average Gamer - N (@AnAverageGamerX) reported@PlayerEssence Digital only future is all about controlling future distribution and to kill off the resell market. They want to be able to sell a new gamer the same game down the road at the price they want instead of lil timmy going on ebay or finding it at $20 in a local retailer

Greg Koenig (@gak_pdx) reportedAs a former Leatherman guy, I am very sad to see this whole Garage thing. The whole notion of "limited run" is an anathema to the actual concept of tools. A tool is an item to be used. It exists because it does a job, and if you are actually doing that job and relying on a tool, having it be some precious totschki that you cannot replace is a form of torture. Some tools are precious by their nature. The job they do requires certain materials, certain features that are hard to manufacturer, levels of precision that require great care, etc. Combined with the fact that these are often low-demand specialty items, they are treated with great care. My metrology standards are like this; a square piece of granite held to under 1µm of error across all dimensions is an expensive and delicate instrument that is painful to replace! I don't whip it out to check every part, and it lives in a custom foam Pelican case it gets removed from only 5-6 times a year. It is an intrinsically valuable and precious object. The Garage schtick, and all the various "special edition" tools/knives/edc gear is synthetic preciousness. By hyping up sprint runs, tool makers juice the numbers and churn a quick extra buck either directly or through the power of a little marketing hype. But every time they do this, they remove the seriousness from their work! They lose focus on quality, or effective design/engineering for the mission, they damage the essence of the core transition between the customer and the maker; that the maker is here to build things to make your life quantifiably better through solving problems you have. When I was at Leatherman many years ago, I had a meeting with the product design team. Sort of at the end as we were BS-ing around, I got very serious for a minute and said "I know everything is getting re-thought, but for the love of the gods... keep the Crunch and if you touch it, be super careful about actually making it better." We talked about the Crunch for about 20 minutes. On Leatherman's own factory floor, I would say the majority of workers carried a Crunch. Alas, under 10 years later... The Crunch is gone. It went out in a blaze of Garage glory; one "final" run of old-stock, retooled with different finishes and moved out the door at 2x the price. Standard Crunches are on eBay for $350 in mint condition. The Garage "Captain Crunch" is trading at $700. That means I can no longer use my Crunch. I'm not carrying around a $500 tool in my pocket and actually using it as intended. By playing dumb demand *** *** games, Leatherman has effectively made every Crunch in existence a precious commodity well under the natural market demand - if they just went out of production because nobody was buying them, they would be $50 to find a used replacement and I could carry on Crunching things without having to treat the one I own as a precious commodity to be fretted over and worried about. This is the essence of tool makers going from a focus on improving the lives of everyday users into these bullshit "lifestyle" brands, and I find it very sad that we are losing things we won't understand the value of until they are gone and sold on eBay for 10x the price. Many such cases.

JOSEPH MICHAELS (THE ADVENTUROUS JOE) (@KINGATLAS1977) reported@ToddManyNumbers @BlueNinjaXX @preterniadotcom the figure was originally a gold label exclusive to wal-mart stores only. it was a great seller for the retail store cause it had never been released or made before. it now sells on ebay for just about close to $60.00 and under now. the original issue with it, wrong color,ect.
-
Alfonso Jimenez (@alfonsojimp) reported@askebay along with the shipping refund issue I was told I can’t ship the item at all since I am not a commercial entity yet ebay allowed me to list it. What do I do now since item will go unfulfilled and ebay wants me to pay back part of the refund yet ebay made the mistake here
-
Pat(ricia) (@materialculture) reported@ValueAddedRS @foxenflask @ryancohen A slide. Holy Christmas. Why don’t they invest in making ebay motors’ Fitment Program actually differentiate between make/model options instead of assuming an unchanged base model item was universally installed? So many buyer problems and seller headaches resulting.

brandi⁷ (@kanadescomposer) reported@freshfiffi I'm not sure when this all went down, but since I bought the cd off ebay the money will go to the reseller rather than the original creator.
-
Margot Stewart (@UnrepentantYoon) reported@AJ9352 Understandable, same thing occurred to me. But then again, I make purchases from Amazon and eBay fairly regularly and have never had any issues, and they hold the same information.

Renaissance Man (@Renaissance_Man) reported@MrPotatoHead_SJ That's terrible. Where was this found? eBay? Please drop the link here.

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedeBay has the brand and platform to be the YouTube of live shopping but they can’t get their act together for simple things like automated emails to customers explaining why their accounts are being auto-suspended by their grandmas AI system that they have policing the backend. @ryancohen and $GME please fix things like this ASAP when you get in there.
-
Conway (@ConwayYen) reported@Longhorndaddyo @TheRealRormar It was priced in already. Had been for weeks. You can expect 10 cents of movement on GME for every $1 that eBay moves up or down. Real issue is deal feasibility and uncertainty. Likely need a co-investor(s) to be named for that uncertainty to disappear.

wyatt.today (@wyatttoday) reported@strangecapers92 as a seller, never had an issue with a depop buyer. ebay is so garbage now I don’t even bother with it anymore
