  @BoetMuzzie @CapeTown_Bru @just_norika You won’t even believe it. There was a reseller from Poland on eBay and he had a big collection of rare sports clothing. Was easy for me to buy from him because I live in the EU, so delivery and customs wasn’t an issue

  @TeamTradeology The problem with using LLMs for responses: “In the context of GameStop and eBay, however, there is no public evidence that GameStop is pursuing a takeover or that any exception has been arranged.” First part completely false. GameStop has publicly and legally declared its intent and is doing so on an ongoing basis. Second part is true-ish but still misses reality: the board rejected the offer and thus there is definitively no arrangement in place. Which is why I said they have to be careful about Delaware 203.

  📢 eBay Sellers: 🔍 Before searching for new products, fix your existing listings. ✅ Complete your item specifics: Brand, MPN, UPC, size, colour, material, compatibility, etc. 📈 Many sellers lose visibility simply because these fields are incomplete.

  Tried to save you $GME people from this but I guess now you're going to have to hold below Keith Gill's average with: 1) No idea if he's still in it (hehe 🔀) 2) No idea if share vote will pass 3) No idea if compensation package makes it 4) No idea if Cohen bounces w/o EBAY. I told you the wave was distributive since Burry's purchase since the VPA was not bullish. I told you he would sell. I told you he would be stuck in his shorts (watch $PLTR ) and now I'm telling you this again: If the PARTICIPATION (volume) has STILL not shown up, it will show up in the direction it's supposed to (down). Remember $U ? Remember my warning? You were $5 away. Now you're $3. $2.... $1.... 👄💩

  @Loserfruit amend the ebay customer code immediately and never use AI again to discriminate. My old boss said to me once, "Reece, You make once mistake, thats alright mate, but you make sure next time you never make the same mistake." fix your platforms immediately.

  @SS350Camino If you're just getting started, TCGP can be slow to build up. You'll have to balance pricing your cards competitively but not so low so that you appear to be a scammer. Ebay works great for selling off a few things relatively quickly but loses to TCGP hard at scale imo

  @horrormuseum @washghost1 That's actually my problem with that. Goodwill is meant to be for people that are struggling financially and their inventory is donated because of that. Then the organization started checking eBay and matching collector prices. Those VHS should be $2 each in a Goodwill.

  @foxenflask Let’s not forget the massive buyback program that eBay has been running for years. The capital deployed into those repurchases could just as well have been used to pay down debt, reinvest in the platform, or improve the customer experience

  @BillboardChris @KerryLynneFindl We’ve got to get rid of EBay way sooner than 3 more years Can a guy like Chip Roy or Gwynn Morgan or Brett Wilson fund the take down team of this pencil necked UNDRIPA child mutilator so BC can get back to work ? Jail him for using Uigher slaves to build his CCP spy ferries ?

  @mclong34 @CardPurchaser My issue is how @eBay handles the “items not received” rate. If a claim is opened by the buyer and I issue the refund, my seller status should not be impacted if the order was scanned in transit by USPS. Why is my seller status impacted for using the service provided by eBay??

  @DiligentDenizen Everyone using Grok and this platform contributes to the high demand of these datacenters. Same goes for Facebook, ChatGPT, Amazon, Uber, EBay, Netflix, Google and the rest. How about addressing the high demand issue first?

  in the last 6 month i had issues with @YouTube @eBay and @Payoneer - huge businesses. In each an automated system decided there was “a problem,” instantly slapped me with “permanently suspended,” and that was it. no warning. no appeal. In two of those cases it took around a week to get to a real person in customer support. Each took 1-3 month to be resolved. in the end ALL THREE said "sorry for the mistake"! i get it, companies grow, get more customers, and mistakes happen. But it is increasingly obvious that big companies are in AI race slashing costs and chasing profits… while treating their #1 asset (the customer) like disposable beta testers. Anyone else living this nightmare? What’s the best way to actually push back? Or is this just the new normal?

  @AddictedHoosier @CardPurchaser I saw an ungraded base prizm go for $180 on eBay. Every single card that was listed for under $100 was sold or taken down within 10 minutes of the final whistle. I bought two, couldn’t help myself.

  @dadof3cardsfans @Andylanger The problem with the description issue is that Ebay hides them because they don't think it should be necessary with an 80 character title, pictures, and shipping info all posted in the landing page. RP isn't good enough for Reprint, it's technically not a reprint anyways.

  Remember Clubhouse? I was thinking about it today and checked out what’s going on. Let me give you the speedrun. April 2020: launches invite only. You’re nobody if you don’t have an invite. People are literally selling invitations on eBay. February 2021: Elon Musk joins a room and the app explodes. 4.6 million new users in two weeks. Oprah is on it. Drake is on it. Kevin Hart is on it. Everyone is hosting their rooms about crypto, mindset and “the future of audio.” March 2021: valued at $4 billion. Andreessen Horowitz leads the round. Every tech company panics and copies it. Twitter launches Spaces. Spotify launches Greenroom. LinkedIn launches audio events. Facebook announces audio rooms. June 2021: 17 million monthly active users. Peak moment. December 2021: CEO admits “we grew way, way too fast.” Downloads are falling off a cliff. The world reopened and it turns out people prefer actually talking to their friends in person over listening to some random dude 45-minute monologue about manifestation. April 2023: lays off 50% of staff. Spotify already killed their clone. Twitter Spaces is barely alive. 2026: still technically exists. Downloads at 243K per month, down from millions. Ranked 19 in the News category on the App Store. The app that was supposed to kill podcasts is now less relevant than most podcasts. $4 billion to “still technically exists” in five years. Speedrun complete.

  @rustyshackmin @gmefan1684 @YoDooley Because anyone who invested when he became chairman of the board is down 60+%. Anyone who bought in when RK came back is underwater. Anyone who bought in when they announced ebay is down 20% in 2 weeks. I mean, is everyone losing money a good thing in your eyes or??

  @NoLuckLugia Again what I say isn’t excusing it but show me who’s perfect. eBay has multiple issues between shipping/ese and the authentication process damaging cards or how about how the entire body of the company doesn’t even support it? You got usps sniping packs based on the senders name

  @FedExHelp Don't have tracking numbers since this has happened over the years. Whether I order from Walmart, Petsmart, ebay, The Feed or Amazon, every package arrives so dusty that you'd think they were through a sand storm. Several boxes got broken. Got compensation from sellers, though.

  This is one of the worst eBay authentication stories I’ve read yet. An eBay Employee Bought My $10,000 Card. What Happened Next Is Insane How An eBay Employee Used eBay’s Own Authentication Mistake To Reverse A $10,000 Card Sale Looking for opinions from the hobby because this one is wild. On May 17th I sold what was believed to be the first publicly available Steph Curry Finest Fans Gold redemption on eBay for $10,000. After the sale, I noticed the item was not routing through Authentication Guarantee and appeared to be shipping directly to the buyer. Wanting protection for both sides, I called eBay Authentication directly. I explained exactly what the item was and was instructed by Authentication to cancel the transaction and relist the item a specific way so it would route through their program. I followed those instructions exactly. The buyer was fully aware of the situation, knew it was a redemption, knew why the transaction was being canceled and relisted, and knowingly repurchased the card under the new listing. I then spent hundreds of dollars overnighting the redemption from the breaker to myself and overnighting it again to authentication. A few days later eBay physically received the item, inspected it, released it, and shipped it to the buyer. At the exact same time eBay also emailed saying the item was miscategorized and ineligible for Authentication Guarantee. So according to eBay: * The item was accepted. * The item was inspected. * The item was released. * The item was shipped. But somehow it was also ineligible. Meanwhile the market for the card dropped significantly as additional copies surfaced publicly. The buyer, who represented himself as working around eBay/authentication operations and whose messages I will post, is now using that exact technical authentication issue as the basis for an Item Not As Described return despite fully understanding the situation before the second transaction was ever completed. To make matters worse, I now have screenshots showing eBay support instructing the buyer how to file the return. The card delivered was exactly the card purchased. The buyer knew it was a redemption. The buyer knew about the authentication issue. The buyer repurchased after full disclosure. So my question is simple: How is a seller supposed to protect themselves when eBay tells you how to list an item, processes it through authentication, ships it to the buyer, and then allows a return based on the very issue eBay created? I have every screenshot, email, timestamp, tracking update, and conversation documenting the entire timeline and will post them below. @ebay maybe let @GameStop try this for a bit.

  My thoughts on eBay’s dividend program: $EBAY is sitting on $6.7B in gross debt, paying $61M/quarter in interest, and about to drop $1.2B cash on Depop. Yet management just declared another $0.31/share dividend (~$556M annualized), with tomorrow (May 29) as the ex-dividend date and cash going out June 12. Buffett said it best in his 1984 letter: “Unrestricted earnings should be retained only when there is a reasonable prospect that for every dollar retained by the corporation, at least one dollar of market value will be created for owners.” eBay is returning hundreds of millions to shareholders annually while simultaneously carrying nearly $7B in gross debt at $244M in annual interest charges. That capital could be paying down debt, shoring up the balance sheet ahead of a $1.2B acquisition close, or reinvested into a platform that is visibly losing competitive ground. Instead, the company is prioritizing optics over fundamentals. Active buyers grew just 1% YoY. Margins across the board are declining while costs are increasing. The platform went down for ~48 hours in April after a cyberattack. The board quietly rewrote its own oversight committee charters after settling a federal cyberstalking criminal case. Sellers are now filing class action suits over surprise fee structures. A company with genuine earnings power and a clean balance sheet paying a dividend makes sense. A leveraged platform with stagnating user growth, mounting legal exposure, and a nine-figure acquisition pending doing the same deserves serious scrutiny.
