    @WeebyRevy My old OG XBox and PS2 had their lasers break. At that point, I sold them for dirt cheap. I imagine these conversions are often-times broken units bought for pennies on the dollar from EBay.

    @Fatal09ity @PoliteDKnight @eBay I’m assuming there’s damage not seen by two photos. eBay’s raw authentication and reship is absolutely terrible.

    @22CCnews Yes I sold my season tickets on eBay for the low price off. $25 and it took hours to sell my problem is the Lying ***** C.C. I was her biggest fan but all she did was lie .

    @JWD_II yeah like i don't see any issues with 90% of what he does which is just ebay the only issue i see is the file structure and mounting external drives

    @Eman_8282 I’d fix it up and sell it on eBay. You get a pretty penny for it.

    Quite torn on what to do now. 🤔 There is a newer lens in my area that's 150-450mm, but also double my original budget for a lens. Do I just suck it up and take the hit money wise or keep gambling on finding a good lens on ebay? I'd be so sad if I got another broken one..

    @arentalis It's a harder one to track down now, for sure — it does pop up but on ebay it's just silly prices

    eBay proving yet again why they are the worst company to sell on! Buyer opens a claim that they didn’t get their package, tracking shows delivered. eBay agrees and says they got it. Customer opens chargeback for empty item eBay says customer is right! What @eBay is terrible!

    CheckOutMyDeals (@COMCdeals) reported

    @premiercards_2 The problem with promo is that Ohtani as a keyword is probably being promo’d to death, so 2% or 10% or 100% isn’t going to move the needle much, and many eyeballs are likely to be casual buyers Some promo probably helps a little, especially when the ad appears off eBay

    @ClownWorld These are the same scum that try to talk me down on an item at my garage sale that I marked for $3.00-- like, "No, *******, you can pay the $3 or keep it moving." Because all they want to do is list it on eBay for more.

  • Sufi_Star

    @eBay, my new business account The Daily Drop was permanently suspended before I could even list my first item. AI error? Phone support keeps hanging up & won't explain. I am a real person w/ a real identity. Can a human help me verify my ID so I can start? #eBay #CustomerService

    @just_cameroon @GardensHour I always had that problem (rarely could visit GCs - went mad when I did). Now I buy from nurseries on line (Ebay) and consider each purchase & usually plant on arrival then buy something else. Also search for what I want rather than impulse buy.

    @QueenKaylaleesi I have been trying to track down Ultraforce books for a couple years, my comic shop never gets any in with the collections they buy. I am at the point Ebay prices are looking reasonable.

    @RobbieRaygun Other issues with ebay lately are they insist you return counterfeit items to the seller enabling them to scam another buyer in the future

  • MikeandLily_UFC
    Your_Favorite_Mexican (@MikeandLily_UFC) reported

    @Matt_Rellihan @LastPackMojo I get it. I sold on eBay for years, and its a very nice touch. Of course you want buyers to come back, but people are looking on eBay for cards they want, they arent looking for your store. Returning buyers in the sports card world is rare, especially on eBay. Its more work than what its worth to put the notes in. It happens, sure, but the time you spend doing that isnt worth the number of buyers that will come back. Most buyers just want their card wrapped safely. Even then, they will give you good feedback but not remember your store the next day. Their isnt a way to "favorite" stores on eBay, only to "follow" it. So unless buyers write down and take note of your store name, they dont know which store is yours and will not come back just based on that fact alone. Ive had sellers that I loved and wanted to buy from them again but couldnt find their store the next day because I didnt write it down, and even then, eBay makes it very difficult to search for a store name (yes, I know, its dug way down in the search options). Selling here on Twitter is much more likely to have buyers come back because you can create a personal relationship with them. eBay is by nature not personal, and the note doesnt make a difference. 99 out of 100 buyers wont remember you the next time they are scrolling ebay for their favorite player. They look for teams and players, not your store. You gotta catch their attention other ways. What a personal note DOES do is take a potentially upset buyer and make it difficult for them to leave bad feedback. So maybe it has its place....but unfortunately very rarely will it ever help a buyer find you again.

    @FutureAZA @HBud69 I've had one for a couple of years from eBay (made in China). I recently found that if I press it down on its suspension the headlights flash and it makes a "vroom vroom screech" petrol driving noise. Ouch! I now know not to do that!

    @CynicalPublius For those of us that repaired our own vehicles, going down to the local salvage yards after this went into effect, was crippling. If it weren't for eBay, and nationwide salvage websites, it would've been been devastating.

    @BringBackBanjoK @Vexinator The problem with sites like ebay is there is a substatial risk of counterfiets.

    @RDKLInc @eBay Ebay still hasn't addressed the messaging system, either. I haven't been able to respond to anything. Help was useless. They had no idea what they were talking about. I eventually got an e-mail saying they were aware of the problem. People think I'm ignoring them.

    @RightsRule250 @grahamformaine @VictoriaLJohnso You’re using a platform made and operated by millionaires and billionaires. On a phone or computer made and maintained by millionaires and billionaires. Same with Amazon, EBay, etc… But sure, nothing has ever trickled down…. 🙄

    @eBay_UK Hi, I’m in another country, not using a VPN, and can’t login to eBay as it shows the “Pardon Our Interruption” message. I have messages I need to reply to. How can I login?

    not sure if this is allowed here (will take down if not) but considering all the toy items have skyrocketed and some are going down but posey and avrilla are still high, is it worth buying the codes off ebay? i currently have 1.2mil but it's gonna take forever to farm the rest...

  • ValueAddedRS
    Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported

    @RDKLInc @southscanner @eBay With USPS having both zone & zip code rate variances, there tends to be a wide spread in the estimates eBay displays to sellers when creating the listing. Unfortunately, I don't think there's really much eBay can do about that because there's simply no way to know where the eventual buyer will be located. I suspect that human nature being what it is, sellers often focus more on the lower end of the displayed ranges if they pay much attention at all. Many sellers also likely just go with the default suggested in the listing form & that's where I think eBay could do something to help with this issue. I can see how for a newer or less experienced seller, it wouldn't be obvious to click the 3 dots or add additional services to see other options & see if there's another one that offers a better rate to buyers. This is from the web listing form & it's even less intuitive in the app, imo.

    @cupcakecrypt On eBay, I don’t know any irl stores that would have any issues from before last year. But I also live in the poor part of America that doesn’t have any good stores
