    @AcmePacks @eBay On your phone go to app settings and you can drill down into notification settings and you might be able to turn off notifications specifically for live events like I did.

    @SecretService On January 9 2013, Howard County MD, Agent Scott Windish and Agent Nick Jonte and 1 More agent came from Baltimore downtown Secret Service headquarters, blackmailed us saying that we will shut down your business account if you don’t give us the money in your bank account because of 2 stolen phones we purchased from eBay without any knowledge . Agent Scott Windish then opened my car glove box and took 3k cash and took my phone on the way to Wells Fargo and we waited at the Wells Fargo waiting for the teller in line for 10 min and he made me say the teller write a 39.000 dollars cashiers check under SECRET SERVICE and after they took me to STARBUCKS and made me sign paperworks… Need our money back 39k was seized as check , 3 k cash and 15 attorney fees .

    @Kidskull51 As someone who’s been on ebay for 15 years, we can take every listing down and unfortunately 10 more will pop up. They need to do away with presale entirely as a listing.

    @kingpindegen I mean they kind of care. If they didn’t then they wouldn’t be taking down eBay listings

    i found the first few issues of the OG run of CF at a fleamarket after EVS was trying to start **** with my friends, I put them up on ebay just to get rid of them not only did I lose money, ebay eventually had to force the winning bidder to actually pay

    @Tyler70759922 @Thee_LBG @asha_shar Very few are on eBay vs the 25,000 manufactured. That indicates that a vast majority of buyers were people intending to keep them. Most people were simply too slow, and they're bitter about it.

    @eBaySupport You're enabling a scammer to steal money! You ignored my photo evidence, closed my case, and told me to contact an abusive seller who shut down my return and tried an upsell scam. Fix this fraud or I'm filing with the FTC, AG, BBB & local news today! @eBay

    Checking out other auctioned items on Fanatics yesterday, and seemingly aside from the Rayquaza most cards are sold at current market price. Taking the 2001 Pokemon Japanese Promo Corocoro Comics Holo Shining Mew #151 PSA 10 as an example, auction price last night with buyer's premium was at $43,200 (28 August 2026), and there was another sale on Ebay (5 August 2026) at $45,900. This, however, makes the card sold on Goldin (8 August 2026) very expensive: $61,000. Is the Corocoro hype cooling down?

    Hey, Ebay, I’m not using a new device to sign in. Why can’t you just recognize my email, you crap company? I’ve been using the same email for years.

  • RealBSP3

    @Radios4Freedom @Nissan Yes. They told Ebay I was fraudulently selling an item (a used part from a 20 year old Infiniti), which not only removed the listing, but penalized my account. I'm not the only one. Nissan burned many bridges, and they'll never recover the enthusiasts who left, who were the only ones defending Nissan against criticism. I just went through a long Grok thing about it, because I had it examine my post for fun, but Nissan is in more trouble than it looks like they are. They're climbing the hill, but there's no bridge at the top to the next one, and nobody's going to step up to catch them when they tip over the next side.

    @revaultdrops Market Arbitrage & Secondary Pricing Report for Nike Kobe 10 Protro 'Halo' (IO3415-100) — Size 12 US Men's: • Model: Nike Kobe 10 Protro Low 'Halo' • SKU: IO3415-100 • Size: 12 US Men's • Retail Price: $190–$200 Marketplace Comps (low-confidence — search results are mixed sizes/general listings, not size-12-specific verified comps): • StockX: overall lowest ask listed around $500 (incl. fees $543), not broken out by size 12 specifically. • GOAT: no size-12-specific listing found for this SKU in what I pulled; don't have a verified range. • eBay: a brand-new listing (sizes 8-13) at $224.99, and one sold comp (size unspecified) at $250.00. Fee-Adjusted Arbitrage Breakdown (eBay Buy → StockX Sell) — this uses the $500 StockX overall lowest ask and $224.99 eBay listing as rough inputs, not verified size-12 comps, so treat the math below as illustrative only, not actionable: • Buy Source (eBay): ~$225.00 ask + $15.00 est. shipping = $240.00 total cost. • Target Sell (StockX): ~$500-$543 list price range. • Applying the skill's fee model (StockX 9% + 3% processing, $15 shipping) gives a rough net proceeds and profit, but I don't have enough size-12-specific, freshness-verified data to state a precise dollar figure or ROI% with confidence. • Capital Lock-Up Duration: ~7–10 business days (StockX payout delay). Risk & Liquidity Analysis: • Given the mix of pre-release/general asks vs a single verified sold comp ($250), any implied high ROI here likely reflects a data/comp mismatch rather than a real arbitrage opportunity — per the skill's >40% ROI sanity flag, this needs second-source confirmation before acting on it.

    @ALTPEPEEEEEEE I completely understand your logic and reasoning. And have personally dealt with issues on overseas sales as a seller. In the end I feel eBay should allow an in person sales option. If you can afford 400k you can def afford economy to pick it up.

    @JesseBallCards @CardPurchaser @eBay lol You are just exposing yourself for being a bad seller. eBay fees are 13% which is less than any LCS or card show dealer will charge. You have extra fees because your seller performance is low. Dont blame eBay for your own problems

    @TheLaurenChen eBay sells every single book a child could want for $3-5/pop. Every one living in a major american city is within at most 5 miles of a goodwill/salvation army with $1/$2 books. Every library has these programs. Access to books is not the problem. THis is all performative.

    @eBay The seller even told me: “We apologize for the title which we were not the author of and did not write. We will not be able to issue this return.” But eBay policy says sellers remain responsible for listing content created using eBay tools. @eBay, please explain this

    @afterhoursdrea damn. All bad. You've got a few months to track it down, then if you don't want to make it to that one, or potentially eBay it.

    6 cylinder Mac Pros hang sideways in a wire rack, cooled by 1 server fan bolted straight to the shelf above. No case. No dust filter. Just raw air crossing 6 towers Apple stopped selling in 2019, the fan spinning loud enough to hear from the next room. He bought them dead. 90 dollars each, pulled for scrap on eBay, shipped in bubble wrap that still smelled like a warehouse. Fixed 4 in a garage lit by 1 bare bulb. Networked them into 1 render node, cables zip-tied to the same wire shelving that used to hold his gym bag. Freelance editors on Fiverr queue jobs on the farm now. 15 dollars an hour. 3 clients a week. 900 dollars a month, off hardware everyone else called e-waste and left curbside. The fan never stops. Neither does the queue.
