Chris Rynders (@clrshonuff) reported@eBay is there any issues currently with the emails for new listings in your saved listings? I have not received my emails the last 2 days. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

JLP (@AFMBlog) reported@CollectorCards2 The skeptic in me tells me that this was on purpose and only meant to drive business to your eBay account. Can you provide screenshots of eBay not allowing you to shut it down?
-
Ankita Shrivastava (@ankita080393) reported@eBay Account access is blocked, so I cannot use “Contact Us” or sign in. I sold an iPhone; the buyer cancelled/rejected the order but the payment/refund (~$60) is still held in my account. I have no way to reach support as all login and email routes fail. Please help restore access and process the refund.

Winson Tang (@winsontang) reportedeBay has officially turned down GameStop's staggering $56B takeover offer, citing it as "not credible." What does this mean for the future of both companies? Stay tuned as the plot thickens in the retail and gaming sectors! 💼🎮 #GameStop #eBay #RetailNews

Julie Wade (@julie_wade) reported@foxenflask Iannone’s moves are textbook corporate extraction. The 10b5-1 plan provides legal cover to sell into liquidity, while the GRAT rollover ensures estate tax efficiency and asset insulation. He is treating his eBay equity as a compensation vehicle to be harvested and protected. The unresolved litigation exposure is treated as a corporate problem, not a personal one, further severing his financial fate from the company's ultimate tail risks. Contrast this with Cohen’s approach with GameStop, which represents total alignment. By refusing salary and stock options, his only mechanism for wealth generation is the actual expansion of the underlying equity value — exactly the same as any retail shareholder. He does not use complex trusts to shield his shares from corporate performance; he buys direct equity with his own cash. Where Iannone is actively transferring risk away from himself while the company faces litigation, Cohen has systematically centralized risk onto himself to engineer GameStop's turnaround. Iannone is defending his payout; Cohen is defending the treasury.

Greg Hughes (@Huey1972) reported@Pub_Goer @eBay_UK @eBay Had the same problem. Log out of app. Clear app cache and storage in phone settings. Then delete app, reinstall app and log in again. Total faff .

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 106 Total sales: $542.97 Buy cost (COG): $61.63 eBay earnings: $233.60 Refunds: $184.99 Net profit: $171.97 ROI: 279% 5 item day. Had one refunded item that was lost and another canceled before shipping where the inventory was retained. That’s the reality of buying returns/open box inventory sometimes. Items will occasionally be broken. Missing pieces. Mislabeled. Early on those situations bothered me a lot more. Now I look at it differently, it’s simply part of the operating costs of this business model. The key is keeping buy costs low enough that issues like this are absorbable over the long run. One bad item can’t sink the operation if the process is solid overall. Still building.

Isaac Clark (@bruhr3aly) reported@Seok26_ @SodaSkins CS2 is fine, it'd run at 60FPS 1080p on my phone if they would port it. This is a poor/priorities out of whack problem not an optimization problem when **** GPUs from 5-6 generations ago make the cut. A GTX 1050 will give you ***at least*** 60FPS, that **** is $60 on ebay.

Chestfullcards (@Chestfullcards) reported@eBay needs to crack down the new seller zero feed too good to true scammers in the Pokemon listings or at least have a filter feature to hide some sellers from popping up in searches

moonshot_69 (@Moonshot_69) reported@kennyf626 $30? not happening. $10 then slow growth for the next decade. moass doesnt exist and purchasing ebay just makes the squeeze thesis that much more irrelevant

Polsia (@polsia) reportedFlipFlow. An AI agent that monitors competitor prices 24/7 and reprices your inventory across StockX, GOAT, eBay, Grailed while you sleep. Resellers manually reprice everything. That's the problem I'm solving.

backprints️⚧️ (@backprints) reported@vladuhat999 @estratgen realising now like I just inserted the theme of gaming smh my bad but damn how common is that? ive picked up 2 ThinkPads from eBay with no issues (now that I'm thinking they ain't even got that bios) but yeah no doubt that's still a probable thing to happen

HankBobbyDale (@HankBobbyDale) reported@CardPurchaser I have a Ebay buyer who messaged me over 3 months after I made a sale, saying he did not receive his card. Since its past 30 days, I can't even issue the refund or even check the tracking anymore. Is there anything you think I should do?
-
Ghosty 👻🕷🕸 (@ghostyectoplasm) reported@thequannnic I found that first one on eBay for 40$ in a lot of broken or fodder figures, but the spidey was near perfect condition. My first one I had as a kid was eaten by my dog ::(

CaptainHogan (@HoganCaptain) reported@Japhero_ 80% is honestly great. If they sell on ebay, they are spending on ebay cut, shipping, and the off chance there's an issue with the transaction

Mike DeGilio (@MikeDeGilio) reportedFollowing up on this. Despite @eBay refusing to do anything for the infinite people affected by this, you can and should go through paypal or file a chargeback with your credit card. Ebay said it's impossible to return it and refused any reasonable refund. Paypal/CC will force them to accept the return for a full refund if you provide photo evidence of receiving what you purchased damaged. Forcefully, get your money back from this trash company. Also, the return address is @PSAcard. Absolutely embarrassing that a company that specializes in the card market for 30+ years lacks even a basic understanding of how to ship a card so it doesn't get mangled. 6+ months ago they acknowledged this is an issue and would be changing packaging and still nothing has been done. Criminal levels of negligence and zero accountability unless they're forced. Change will come when we stop allowing them to say "I understand we damaged the card but I still think it'll get a PSA7, so it's exactly what you ordered" and force full refunds on every single bit of value lost due to their incompetence.

Matt Henderson (@MattxH) reportedThis dude has completely given up on running GME or any hope of resurrecting the business. He decided he wanted the eBay job instead. Now he’s just decided he’ll do the eBay job remotely. Dude try actually fixing your own business first. No one wants you to bring down eBay too.

ericosiu (@ericosiu) reportedRobinhood is worth $68 billion. Coinbase is worth $50 billion. The gap isn't explained by brand spend or ad creative. It's explained by product architecture. Robinhood stacked 11 business lines that each generate over $100 million a year. 5% cash back on their Platinum card. Crypto rewards. Premium tiers. Each product pulls users deeper into the ecosystem and makes switching feel expensive. That's not a marketing strategy. That's a retention strategy disguised as a marketing strategy. Most operators think about growth as a media problem. More ads, better SEO, smarter email sequences. And those things matter. But if your product isn't doing the heavy lifting, you're renting growth instead of owning it. eBay is the cautionary tale here. They spent $2.5 billion on sales and marketing to acquire roughly one million new users. At some point the extra dollar stops working. Diminishing returns aren't a media buying problem, they're a product problem. The Robinhood playbook is simple in theory and hard in practice. Do more for the customer at a better price, and the marketing gets easier over time. If you're running an agency or a services business, you don't need ten offerings on day one. But when you feel the ceiling on your core service, that's the signal to expand. One adjacent service, cross-sold to people who already trust you, compounds faster than any ad campaign you'll ever run.

lesbians4bambi (@srisangie) reportedjust pulled my fave candle ever out of the cabinet and was so sad because it's my last one but i just scooped a medium one up from ebay like sunshine rly shone down upon me today because it's been so long ince ive even seen one listed

Isaac Clark (@bruhr3aly) reported@Seok26_ @SodaSkins Stop being poor. This is a poor/priorities out if whack problem not an optimization problem. A GTX 1050 will give you ***at least*** 60FPS, that **** is $60 on ebay. If you can't get CS2 running at 60FPS or better you shouldn't be gaming.

The Dreamcast Junkyard (is 20 Years Old!) (@TheDCJunkyard) reported@RichardC74991 @CARL0STHEGAMER @LewisJFC If you're patient you can get some good deals, especially if you buy bundles. Usual eBay average range from £10-20 though with some of the earlier issues being more expensive.
