  • DavidJBradley1 David J Bradley The 1818 Edition (@DavidJBradley1) reported

    Today's plans largely revolve around buying Frankenstein money boxes off eBay. I don't have a problem. I can quit anytime I wa-

  • CRT_Sportscards CRT_Sportscards (@CRT_Sportscards) reported

    @brothertona @Paul_Lesko Yep, BBCE along with Meelypops and all of the others are not going to come out of this unscathed. People got greedy and now will pay the price and I don't feel sorry for anyone. Logan Paul deserves his money back and all of the way down to the original eBay listing.

  • civicting Tom Ting (@civicting) reported

    @eBay have an issue with a seller stealing my car audio. But there is no way to contact someone at eBay, hope you can help. Thank you. Item 164242623870

  • caffeinedreamer Danny Russell (@caffeinedreamer) reported

    @SoundShow3r Too late for eBay, but can still go through PayPal until end of February. I know @polymegaHQ have shortages but it’s the lack of communication that’s the biggest issue here.

  • icebox93 Mark J (@icebox93) reported

    @comeawaywithEMD They did issue physical copies because searching on the web for the title of the first album did pull up an eBay listing among others. I wonder to what extent “indie rock/r&b” is underrepresented on discogs. May not be a laughing matter.

  • cyberinvasion James Gannon (policywonk.eth) (@cyberinvasion) reported

    @CarlGottlieb Its niche but I know for sure its a huge problem with camera equipment on eBay. And yeah good point was thinking about it more from the selling platform point of view rather than the payment processor.

  • cyberinvasion James Gannon (policywonk.eth) (@cyberinvasion) reported

    @CarlGottlieb Yup agree. OpenSea would have been forced down this route eventually anyway, as the law applies to them just as much as any other sales platform. I think they need to get way better at verification, but other platforms just as bad (CL, eBay, FB Marketplace). Just not in vogue!

  • RepDWSTeets Somebody You Know (@RepDWSTeets) reported

    So now the IRS is going after @PayPal transactions. No problem. I'll just go back to mailing #eBay sellers USPS money orders like the old days. Eff the IRS and eff #PayPal for allowing their lefty buddies to ram this through.

  • SimonMcGill3 Simon Magilla (@SimonMcGill3) reported

    @VanTammen @BillyHynes I'm guessing the licensing was short-term and didn't allow for reprints - likely your only option is to buy the originals. A quick eBay check had it around $15(Oz) for each of 2 issues - as Billy showed, it's worth it. I'm gonna have to dig mine out.

  • BowTiedArcticFo ₿owTiedArcticFox | Teen w/ 420 IQ (@BowTiedArcticFo) reported

    @BowTiedPotato I still use eBay, the problem with the niche I’m in for this- it’s a lot more difficult to build a brand around it, marketplaces like this are extremely helpful

  • HopnDude HopnDude (@HopnDude) reported

    @sirsquishy79 @HP eBay hasn't let me down w/ enterprise storage drives.

  • noorjo0n Noor ♡⁷ (@noorjo0n) reported

    if i see that wind chime on ebay for 500$ when i didn’t even manage to get one i’ll hunt you down for sport and enjoy it

  • Just_JD38 J.D. Runnels jr. (@Just_JD38) reported

    @Zsanchez33 @roywilliams31 @RyanBroyles Man. I’ll never forget when eBay got hot & people would line up outside practice with trash bags full of footballs telling us to name our price to get them all signed……had to turn it down, wait on the Burlington clothes, ration that ramen…y’all know the drill 💔

  • S1978Teh TehS1978 (@S1978Teh) reported

    Expecting things from ebay over next few days so I should have em by next weekend 🙄I'm joking really people go on about how bad ebay n amazon n delivery services are and I've honestly only ever had one problem which was just late being sent out, I'm a collector so love ebay #GPK

  • jeff10t Jeff (@jeff10t) reported

    It's 02.44 on a wednesday and I just spent 50 dollars on yet another piece of analogue video gear off of ebay. This time the listing even says its broke, but ya boi saw a YouTube video and is now convinced he can fix it. I should not be allowed to make my own decisions.

  • ceIineandjesse ً (@ceIineandjesse) reported

    i refuse to go down an ebay rabbit hole again i do not want a headache rn

  • CollectTillIDie Ron (@CollectTillIDie) reported

    @markdwilkns @CardPurchaser Cool, Thanks 👍 I have some coming from sportlots, not spending much on these, folks on eBay are starting to ask too much when you include the shipping, so have slowed down there.

  • Natalia52701757 Natalia (@Natalia52701757) reported

    @Kafkaesque_Blog Hmm. That sounds reasonable. Also, it is probably highly unlikely but… do you trust the seller? I had a “ smells so weak and “watered-down” experiences with vintage Chanel N19 I bought on eBay. Nothing like the current N19 in EdP I have. I did not know what to think.

  • denimirae82 🍀Deni: Bldhue owns my ❤️ (@denimirae82) reported

    @JoanaCu00655742 I generally uses Amazon. This album is the first that went terrible. Or sometimes Ktown4u is the other option I use. But shipping on there is insane. eBay may be my go to

  • torsten_broeder Torsten Broeder (@torsten_broeder) reported

    @eBay_UK Hello eBay team, I tried to call your support and the only reply is the same answering machine to all options. This makes it really frustrating if you have a problem and you are not able to give appropriate support. Get it fixed.

  • whodattodd Todd Ivey (@whodattodd) reported

    @LordPrizm @CardPurchaser Stop using eBay won’t be a problem

  • mrspambond Pam Bond (@mrspambond) reported

    @AndrewBond3 I know eBay has been taking down the auctions as soon as they go up

  • medusas_gold maddie (@medusas_gold) reported

    @elainsamay @rammie i found him mine on ebay. im trying to find the page but it looks like it got taken down, sorry :/

  • clovis69 Clovis (@clovis69) reported

    @ChelseyGiizis I know someone in Amazon logistics who does supply chain stuff, he says it's not Amazon's problem. Thats their stance on it. Ebay, they have processes against that stuff, but Amazon? Nope!

  • JoanaCu00655742 Jo Curry (@JoanaCu00655742) reported

    @denimirae82 I actually use ebay if I can't find it on Mercari. I've not had any issues, so 🤞

  • TrumpWeirdo Troop of the Blue Wave Resistance (@TrumpWeirdo) reported

    @HunterJCullen Replace the parts from those on the shelf until the parts didn't exist anymore. Eventually they were cannibalizing other shut down plants for parts or even buying the parts on eBay.

  • CarlGottlieb Carl Gottlieb (@CarlGottlieb) reported

    @cyberinvasion Aside from the chances of buying stolen goods from a normal retailer being low, if you bought something stolen from eBay then both eBay or PayPal/cards/banks will issue a refund extremely quickly.

  • daryldixxns soupy 🍜 (@daryldixxns) reported

    @Mayaisabitgay well theyre a bit pricey to purchase whether its single issues or the compendiums, i was looking at some listings on ebay for the compendiums but im lucky enough to have an irl friend who gave me their old issues so i dont have to spend the money; other than that im not sure :(

  • CJKCollectibles CJK Collectibles (@CJKCollectibles) reported

    @TripleCYeg @TimHortons @UpperDeckHockey People trying to sell these error cards for $50-$80 on eBay.

  • Seaside_Roofing Boss (@Seaside_Roofing) reported

    @eBay I've been an eBay customer for 13+ years & 100% positive feedback. For some unknown reason to me, via email "account has suspicious activity" account banned off eBay! I've never been treated like this before and your support team does nothing to resolve the issue!
