    @Rhi5S0S I never had a problem with depop. I can find alot of things for a affordable price. And i don't trust ebay because I had horrible experience with them. But its ur choice after all to sale that niall poster. If I was u I would hang it up on the wall in a guest room or office :)

    This was part of a purchase of multiple books. That was over $15, so it appears the issue is item value. I can eat the cost, that’s not the issue. It’s that they sent me an item that didn’t match the description and there’s no way to fix the issue. eBay never has this issue

    @natsturner Nat - cmon man. Is this the way? I sent the item. I’m a big seller. So it doesn’t show up and I get no proof of that? And now I just had to believe them without proof in front of my own eyes. So I lose $800 and the card? And by the way, Ebay says it a PSA issue. Nice.

    @stfudren Not Amazon-to-eBay. Mostly automotive parts distributors, some Tier 1 manufacturers. Sync problem is brutal: prices update whenever a distributor feels like it, no schedule, no API. Built my own polling system. Catches 95% of changes before they cause a loss.

    @paulcarldigital I highly doubt it man! If they’re having trouble paying $2 I REALLY and I mean REALLY doubt you’re going to have luck selling them something on top of it. Just my experience in over 5+ years of selling on eBay and in general. Maybe different for you but to each their own!

    @HeatherIsUnsane But it will be sold out. Thats the problem. People with big pockets buy all the seats with bots. And this is what we get. Just like gas, cars, houses. Artificial inflation. It’s why eBay sucks now. People make a living reselling.

    @TheKevinDalton The last time we had shortage on toilet paper in California, Covid shut down , people were buying stocks at Costco and then going on eBay and selling them at high price, I know that sounds sick but again this is California.

    Hey @eBay. Can you help me understand why you restricted me indefinitely because I paid my store subscription every month and didn't list items? And why you think it's OK to charge me for a service you refuse to provide? Better yet, can someone with authority intervene & fix?

    The expectation gap hits eBay sellers differently — through fitment data. A part showing compatible for a 2015 F-150 ships. Buyer's truck is a different trim. Return filed before they open the box. The issue isn't the listing copy. It's the catalog data behind it.

    I'm pretty sure she's got that covered to tho with a card like a debit card or something so she can get anything she wants on there as well like off from eBay, Amazon or whatever places online she likes to get her adorable lingerie fix at.

    @OaklandKao I got mine as a preorder through hobbyfrontline when they were doing the colab, After the shipping to the store in IE then to me down in PT it wasn't much less than what they're going for on ebay rn so there's no time like the present to make irresponsible financial choices 😸

    @SwipeWright I buy it in 2.5kg catering packs eBay £19.70 for 2.5Kg Expiry dates are not an issue with coffee mate. This stuff doesn’t really go off it kept dry airtight, dark and cool. On the wholemilk with the fresh coffee thing sometimes I will nuke the milk for 20 seconds to take the chill off it.

    @RepDaleStrong On March 12, 2026, Amazon instituted a policy to illegitimately take monies from 3rd Party Sellers, who constitute 60% of sales on Amazon according to Amazon, in order to improve its own cash flow. This policy is an example of the anti-competitive practices Amazon has used to enrich itself and undermine all competitors over many years. For about 20 years Amazon paid Sellers as follows: 1) a Customer selected a Seller’s item for purchase; 2) the Seller fulfilled the order, shipping the item to the Customer; 3) the Customer paid the item price plus any shipping charge applied by the Seller; 4) the Seller paid the actual shipping cost; 5) Amazon took its standard fees for every transaction; and 6) Amazon regularly paid the Seller the difference between its own fees and the Seller’s item price and shipping charge. The Seller and Amazon both benefitted greatly from this system. As of 3/12/2026, Amazon switched to what it called “DD+7”, which stands for Delivery Date plus 7 days. Amazon still takes it fees immediately when a Seller fulfills an order. Amazon pays the Seller nothing until 7 days after the item is delivered to the Customer, which depends upon the speed and accuracy of the USPS, UPS, or other delivery service. Sellers therefore, are paid approximately 14 days after spending to ship the item, rather than at the time of shipping. Amazon utilizes the full amount paid by the Customer as it wishes until Delivery Date plus 7 days, which amounts to millions of dollars every day that payment to the Seller is delayed. According to Amazon, “Moving your reserve setting to DD+7 provides time for you to accrue fees and other costs before disbursement and gives your customers time to receive, open, and evaluate their order.” This rationalization would be laughable if it weren’t so extremely and prejudicially false. Every purchase on Amazon can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. DD+7 does not add any additional time for the Customer to “…receive, open, and evaluate their order.” As a Seller, also, I have no idea what “…fees and other costs before disbursement…” I could accrue; gaslighting is the only thing stated in this sentence. There are millions of 3rd Party Sellers on Amazon, and almost all of them are small businesses. Amazon has spent decades making its Seller system appear to be the most efficient and effective, undercutting all other major 3rd Party Seller systems, such as ebay. The system before DD+7 was extremely profitable to Amazon. Now Amazon is requiring a pay-off which harms its own 3rd Party Sellers, to the benefit only of Amazon’s enormous bottom line. Please contact Amazon about this penurious attack upon its Sellers. We depend upon Congress to defend the small businesses that are sources of enormous value throughout our country. Please also address the issues raised here in the appropriate Congressional committees. Public hearings will not show Amazon in a good light. Thank you,

    @eran_rehes @AG_FintwiddyOnX @TomiLahren These are former tech execs often highlighted in discussions about Silicon Valley leadership: - Top left: Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo (2012–2017). Yahoo's value cratered; sold to Verizon in 2017 for far less than its peak. - Top right: Elizabeth Holmes, founder/CEO of Theranos. Company collapsed after fraud revelations; convicted of wire fraud in 2022, serving prison time. - Bottom left: Meg Whitman, CEO of HP (2011–2015) and earlier eBay. HP saw revenue drops and market share loss; she also ran unsuccessfully for CA governor. - Bottom right: Anne Wojcicki, founder/CEO of 23andMe. Company faced data breaches, regulatory setbacks, layoffs, and financial strain; she stepped down as CEO amid investor pressure. Critics point to underperformance, scandals, or execution issues at their firms.

    (Wasn’t planning on purchasing this now, but I caught a glimpse of the aftermarket eBay prices and wasn’t going to chance it. No matter what, I needed these before PMC to see if I could bring these down with me…)

    @CazaToy We literally gain nothing. We don't sell data to anyone, we gain barely anything in Google Ad revenue, and we make barely anything on our shop items. We started as a few collectors just curious about pre-grading their own cards and seeing what raw listings on ebay might be worth buying to get graded. After we saw how fun, easy and useful the tool was, we decided to make it free for the community. We lost ~$4,000 just keeping the lights on last year. We'll do the same this year. We have plans for 2027 to launch a physical device to help alleviate issues in the grading industry, and we're excited about that aspect of actual "business." But we'll keep pre-grading free forever.

    Why was @eBay in India taken over by Flipkart and then shut down ? India is a huge market for second hand goods.

  • WawaXRP
    Wawa (@WawaXRP) reported

    @Nortier Very true. Big difference is like adidas sells all the same products so they have have warehouses all over with the same stock. Problem with a RWA marketplace warehouse is that like eBay it’s a perpetual rotating supply of what people are listing, and the sellers themselves are holding custody for 90% of items so shipping depends based on where seller lives not necessarily the marketplace location. That’s why it probably has to come down to an issue of who should pay for shipping that’s fair for all parties. Really, sellers could list a $100 item for $150 and then shipping is free for buyer and seller would receive $100 minus 50 for shipping if it comes out of seller side.

    @RAPTOR479 My hard lines up front under the driver’s footwell suffered an unfortunate jack position incident at a discount tire shop. Tried an airtex main pump which howled. Stick with the Bosch, FCP has them. Found a Carter branded down pump for the trunk tank nos on eBay.
