Classic G.I. Joe 🇺🇸 (@ClassicGIJoe) reportedA key issue of the 80s - until eBay came along and it wasn't quite as scarce as it was claimed to be!

Jack Dillard (@Kraven1776) reported@QayyumSahimi @quantum1nvestor I’m not a ryan sycophant. I think the eBay situation of a big ruse, bluff, fake out. It’s about misdirection. He making wallstreet who is deep short GME still, to double down short more and leverage up, plant their feet. Then pivot and announce Teddy, eBay not included. ….

Skruluz (@skruluz) reported@mccartycards @eBay @UPS Where? Is it readily available for me to watch? If you’d like to shoot down any conspiracy theories this would be the way to do it. Still sounds like an empty box scam to me. 50k in mail🧐? Again, anyone can say anything but that does not make it true. The conspiracy continues.

Ross Paul (@rosspb) reported@ShelleyJ1409 @X @Support It’s the nature of tech companies now, i spent an hour yesterday between online chat & the phone with ebay because someone is passing of my listing as theirs & they want me to jump through hoops to fix what is essentially fraud on their platform

popcornisready (@popcornishere) reported@ConleyLoni @CardPurchaser @eBay If the problem persists through the morning into the day I would watch out for Bots/Scammers trying to get you to DM them for “help.”

vi ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ (@comdumpling) reportedif i get outbid on ebay one more time i’m gonna hunt down these anons. i just want my freakin dittos

jjebus (@jjebuus) reported@KaioKaner I've used ebay for like 9 years, always had good experiences. Their support system is great, if the product is anything unlike exactly how it was listed, full refund. They very very rarely side with the seller. Got a ps vita, a manga set, and three mini PCs recently with no issue
-
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 ::(

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

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.

dan@quellhorst.com (@quellhorst) reportedEbay used to talk about how the sign in / register buttons confused people so they had to change their wording.
-
Judyth Vary Baker (@Judyth) reported@marybowdenMD: Amazon issues an ISBN number for every book it sells, incl this plagiarized knock-off. So go to Sellers Central. Demand they revoke the plagiarized book's ISBN number. If they refuse, sue for ignoring copyright. BTW, Amazon shows my book, LEE HARVEY OSWALD AND ME, but won't let anybody buy it! (please get it on eBay!).
-
Shishaw Pocketsand (@rusty_medic3) reported@TW0HEADEDBEAST You're incorrect. I can still get every part i need on a near 30nyear old subaru. Admittedly sometimes I have to resort to a salvage yard or ebay but its still doable. Don't buy the one with an obvious gonna **** out issue unless youre prepared to fix it immediately.

JoninCenTex (@jonincentex_) reported@Artemizia_123 @eBay @WhwreIsMyMoney I 100% agree. You used to be able to trust eBay to do the right thing now their only goal now when there's a problem is to shut you up and shut you down and decide in favor of the seller. Recently a package was misdelivered to the wrong address and the shipper sent photos showing it was delivered to the wrong address. EBay in its idiocy lets the digital assistant decide such cases and because the shipping company said it was delivered they said I won't get a refund and closed the claim. Their digital assistant is too stupid to understand that a product being misdelivered to the wrong mystery address is not the same as a product being delivered to me at the correct address. I predict eBay has 5 years to go before it abandons the USA. This total lack of customer service and lack of respect and appreciation is what drives customers away, And a Hallmark of businesses that end up failing

Pollak (@pollakrhmn) reportedIf you actually look at the math for a Pre-Errata Luffy, it’s insane. The average pull rate is 2 sealed Blue Bottom Romance Dawn cases. With TCGplayer floors at $100k and eBay hitting up to $200k, you’re basically dropping a $250k on sealed product just to chase it. But it’s not just the price of the cases, this card is literally One Piece TCG history. It’s a massive error from back when wording completely broke the game mechanics. The original text forces you to restand a card ("Set 1"), while the corrected version gives you the choice ("Set up to 1"). On top of being the first major Luffy chase and a legendary error card, the true scarcity is a total mystery. PSA didn't split the labels, so they lumped everything into the same 700 total PSA 10 population. The actual Pre-Errata population is easily a fraction of that. Honestly, a $20k minimum baseline is completely justified. The fact that this card is only fetching around $7k right now makes absolutely no sense.

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

Snoker (@Snokerow) reportedFor over three decades, these cards sat at the absolute bottom of the market with almost nobody paying attention to them. Just last year, even cards like the Ivy Pikachu Ken Sugimori error could still be picked up on eBay for under $20. These weren’t “discovered” yesterday — they were simply ignored for 30 years while the hobby focused on easier-to-grade cards and modern PSA 10 chases. The reality is that many early CoroCoro promos and glossy promos are the earliest Pokémon promos ever released and some of the most condition-scarce cards in the hobby. High grades barely exist because these cards were printed cheaply, handled heavily, and almost never survived in clean condition. That condition scarcity is one of the main reasons they stayed overlooked for so long. What people are calling “overhype” today looks more like the market finally correcting three decades of neglect and recognizing the historical significance and true scarcity of these cards.

AJ (@CardGameNomad) reported@YiedTcg @NightshadeColl The problem with the "buy X, get Y free" is that eBay doesn't always promote those deals.... The algorithm is busted for that coupon for some reason lol. I do the "buy X amount, get Y% off" since it actually shows on every one of my qualified listings lol
-
Spence (@mindthybusiness) reported@JGemini @TunedIntoTennis You sound super ignorant and ungrateful.. I purchase used shoes all the time from eBay because nice ones can be expensive and a nice pair of used shoes are better than holey unstable shoes that cause injury which I’ve had. It sounds like the issue lies within you

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.

shift key (@adversareal) reportedi had trouble with ebay this week. they were all useless, but the mexicans i'd talk to would actually stay on the line with me and do their best to figure it out slip in standards – i shouldnt be content with entire departments that are incompetent – but credit where it's due
-
AAN Collect (@AANCollect) reportedI 100% believe @ebay should extend the time given to file these claims. Especially ESE. It would cut down on the amount of claims a ton. The only thing helpful is you get your money after refunding now.
-
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
-
Dele Cyber (@DeleCyber) reportedNow, I understand their capturing machine is out of service. You also go to the vehicle inspection office nearby, you're told their machines are also down. Honestly, this country needs to be auctioned off on Ebay so that serious people can buy it off and reset this mess.
-
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
-
📚🕊Story🌿🌻 (@Ahhhsojuicy) reported@kahmooii girl, I’m so excited too! I’ve only ever seen rip off copies on eBay from Malaysia so I never thought I would get to own one thankfully, I was able to get the Kindle copies before the publisher went down🙏
-
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?

K3RRR (@K3TripleR) reportedRoss Johnson: "I found this great 5Core 48” DJ speaker stand tripod on ebay to use with my JPC-12 antenna. For $21 including shipping and tax, the light gauge steel tubing (about 5lbs total) is quite stable and durable. Yes, some of the parts are plastic and probably would not stand up to a 50mph dive off the back of a pickup, but it seems pretty capable of delivering good service as an affordable field stand… folds down to about 28”, extends to 54”. I had to drill a hole in the provided top plate to run a 10mm bolt up through my counterpoise disk and into the antenna base, but that was the extent of the mod’s. I set it up with my G90 in the backyard and added 4 counterpoise wires out to tent stakes. It was a quick stable setup and the 10-15mph wind had no effect at all. The best QSO of the day with stand fulling extended was well over 1300mi… Connecticut to Kansas, 5-9 on 20 watts. It will definitely have a home in the POTA activation kit stored in my pickup."

DARREN DODDS (@UKNO1PLUMBER) reported@joesonofpete One of best products on market presently ,One Shot drain cleaner found on Ebay and other platforms. Should clear blockage ,but if blockage returns frequently as you say ,problem could lie with position /fall of actual basin pipework ,if ran underfloor , may have backfall ,

The Bull Syndicate (@BullSyndicate) reported@ryancohen @ebay doesn't have help. It has AI chatbots that can only resolve issues nobody has. $EBAY owes me a lot of money but I already know I will never see it. They have lost hundreds of thousands over the years from losing my business. I sold millions on there.
