dan@quellhorst.com (@quellhorst) reportedEbay used to talk about how the sign in / register buttons confused people so they had to change their wording.

⭐SQV⭐ (@StarQuestVideo) reportedIt was very fun going to that auction. Proxibid doesn't take in bids properly yet. The fast clicking of eBay is necessary. Im not sure what they do but copilots can figure it out. The security issue you still meed someone who really knows what's going on for and proxibid

MHComicsInvictus 🇺🇸🚾🏴☠️ (@ComicsInvictus) reportedMy Number Two Guy Nothing too fancy here. Normal, reliable eBay experience. If you live in the Midwest you’ll benefit from faster shipping. Updates inventory daily. Combined shipping at checkout. Very very rarely makes errors. I always check this storefront to price compare.

Privateer Hosting (@PrivateerHosted) reported@samuel_hayden_ Replicating serious work is fairly trivial on the hardware side once you go on eBay. But your dislike of Proxmox is a skill issue

White-stone (@bryan39584677) reported@lundkvist_jonas @RationalMale @RichardHanania No internet. In 1980 my cards were worth lots. you can only get it in your city. Now with eBay you can by the card from anyone in the world. Supply up price way down. An avg female used to only date in her city. Now with social media she gets attention from all over the world.

N.E.Will (@TheRealNickW86) reported@Michael_i_Leib @NFL1stLook @greenstoslopes It’s eBay that’s responsible for it after authentication though so it’s not an issue for the buyer. I’m starting to wonder why you’re simping so hard for ****** buyers?

Earl Carpenter (@EarlKeays) reported@eBay @renoipgp Your AI customer service assistant SUCKS!! It can't resolve jack ****. Cuts you off, says it will send you a link it does and its worthless. Its just a way to frustrate a person to the point where they give up and go away, problem solved. No more Ebay for me ever period!

Docsis (@_Docsis) reported@eBay @eBay_UK wtf is going on here? please don't let eBay go down the **** hole... <3 thanks #ebay

Alex Zarac (@AlexZarac) reported@adamlf81 Actually, eBay is returning value to their shareholders by making their shares more valuable, Ebay also issues dividends. The eBay shareholders had voted on eBay‘s compensation package and this was one of the caveats, a stock grant. Moreover there are no naked shorts.

JW (@WhiteJohn22) reported@Pittsburgh1Pete @willbachcfp No, the fees are less with a consignment service BUT you are limited to 5 or 7 day 99 cent auctions. Fees start around 15% and go down based on sale price. U are right though. EBAY IS CHEAP!

Phoenix 🍉 (@Phoen1xWolf) reported@MatTamDude @briannaagain Not purge their sections on the Glitch store and allow new fans of both shows to get merch without having to sell their limbs for scalped items on eBay that’s are ALSO hard to come by???

Andrei Savin (@andreisavin) reported@zach_yadegari Most successful dropshippers are arbitraging a loophole and go well beyond "marketing". There was once this website BookDepository (since acquired by Amazon) that was offering worldwide "free shipping" but really just adjusting the price based on your IP location. Around 2010, I had an eBay store where I was dropshipping books everywhere in the world while buying them with a UK IP address. I needed 0 marketing: my prices were actually better than everyone on eBay. The platform itself was promoting me while I was also holding 0 inventory and taking a cut and I could barely keep up with orders. I was eventually shut down, these kind of schemes don't last. Don't actually do dropshipping lol it's more rewarding to actually build something new.

Jack “Slim” Prescott (@SlimJackPrescot) reported@PaulyOdonnie eBay Scotty or Bettinardi. You can't go wrong with those. Worst case you cut the shaft down or just get it reshafted and have the lie angle adjusted should you need that. All in probably paying around 300 bucks for a great milled putte.r

Andros (@0xAndros) reportedWhat a lot of people didn't know is that @samparr started 15+ businesses before selling @TheHustle for $40M. Here's how he ranks the best business models in the new AI world: S : Marketplaces "Probably the hardest to start, but the most durable." He points to Craigslist and eBay : once you get density (buyers + sellers in the same place), it's nearly impossible for a competitor to unseat you. The moat is the network effect itself. Hardest cold-start problem, but the payoff is a business that lasts decades. A : Agencies / Service Businesses "You have to deal with a lot of people issues, but they're great to start." His point is that agencies aren't the end goal :they're the learning machine. You service clients, learn their pain points intimately, and then use that intel to build products (software, courses, tools). The pivot optionality is the real value. AI systems also makes it much easier to scale agencies/services now A : Software "Anything that's really hard to get into will last probably a bit longer than another business." Public markets are discounting software right now because of AI, but his argument is that for most people there's still difficulty of entry, which equals durability. If it's hard to build, it's hard to kill. B : Events (B2B) "A lot of people are going to disagree with this." He specifically calls out B2B trade shows, less so consumer events (though Coachella made $200M+ in revenue just in 2026) There are event businesses doing hundreds of millions in revenue, very profitably. The key is B2B: you're selling access to a concentrated buyer audience, not $30 tickets. B : Media He owned The Hustle, so this is personal. "If you raise venture capital, it's going to be an F : the worst business you can have." But if you own the whole thing and run it long-term, great business. The split is ownership structure, not the model itself. VC expectations destroy media companies; bootstrap economics make them work. C : Info / Course Business He owns "copy that dot com"). "They can be great cash flow, but they're never going to be worth a lot and they're not going to scale to be very big." The ceiling is the problem. You'll make money, you just won't build generational wealth from it. C : Community He owns @HamptonFounders . "People are pain in the butt, but it's very fulfilling and it can last for 50 or 100 years." The tradeoff: constant member churn vs. extreme longevity if you keep delivering value. D : Middleman / Broker His dad owns a brokerage. "It's been an amazing living for him, but generally those are pretty hard because the margins are so small." The video about his dad's business went super viral, but the reality is razor-thin margins make it a grind. Works for one person's lifestyle, hard to scale. E/F : E-commerce "In most cases, I think that's probably the worst business model." No cash flow, tons of competition. This is the default trap most first-time entrepreneurs fall into. The through-line: durability and defensibility matter more than margins. The S and A tiers are all businesses with structural moats (network effects, switching costs, expertise). The D and F tiers are commodity businesses where you're always one competitor away from irrelevance.

Nossy (@ibay770) reported@MsMelChen You can still buy one off ebay. Not sure if it will work however as the servers were shut down in 2019

Tom Bombaci (@tbombaci) reported@Joferjeff I hope it works out for you. I have had two issues recently and eBay came through for me as a seller. There is some hope.

mantizzle (@mantischerrypie) reportedneed to buy more stuff off ebay i have a problem and thats okay

JeppG (@jeppg1111) reported@Joferjeff Hate to hear it. I’ve had positive experiences with eBay. I’d say I’m right at six years as well and don’t recall a single time where I felt betrayed by the company. In fact, I thought they valued the seller way more than Amazon ever did. I parted ways with Amazon after a deactivation. I hope eBay don’t let me down. I’ve got a lot to sell, yet. I hope your situation gets resolved. With your track record, seems pretty clear you did your part. I saw a lot of degrading remarks in the comments about eBay too. It makes me shake my head in discontentment.

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

Cassidy ཐི༏ཋྀ Erik’s moth (@ErikCampbeIls) reported@CEOofEldin I was a bit bitter about it at the time but looking back it’s for the best because my sensory issues were so bad I couldn’t even deal with the sideswept bangs I tried. I ended up clipping them back until they grew out. Wait that made me think I could check ebay for them!!
-
The original Retrogamer (@OCfromMG) reported@Joferjeff Ebay is a total scam, as a seller you are ****** and at the mercy of Ebay. They can restrict or ban your account for whatever reason. You can have a selling limit of 100k+ per month and the next month u got down to 1k because the postal service ****** up a delivery.

Hungry Hobo (@TeslaP90DL) reported@Bob_Bingi45 @M46726805 @mrfundman It’s simple you can get a new module for a model S for $200 on eBay.. 9 times out of 10 if there’s a problem, it’s just with one of the modules and your back on the road.. do you realize that they have a eight year 150k mile warranty on the battery and powertrain?

TALKSWITHJAE (@eccentricsole) reportedRemember when sneaker culture was about hunting down rare pairs at local thrift shops or eBay instead of just paying 4x retail on an app? Good times.
-
Tevako the Ape (@Jeffsusan1012) reported@bostong41476161 @sneedweb Ebay worth 50B. GME guy has 45.5 shares. Ebay guy has 8.7 shares. Both have 440 mill shares outstanding. Cool? RC issues 1.2B shares. At 22 that's the 26 billion needed for the half stock side of the equation. Right? That's the dilution everyone is afraid of.

James (@JamesEsq85) reported@VinceBednarik Seller: “thanks for the interest in this cheap *** card. If it’s not up to par, just return it. You: “WAAAHHHHH” Move on you clown. Wish you’d like you would post your eBay name and save us the trouble lmao.
-
J85 (@JoshuaN00980143) reported@eBayForBusiness why can buyers leave negative feedback AND have more options to report issues with seller but sellers can’t leave negs & to report bad buyers, eBay offers basically zero no good reasons for doing so. Site was better when we began selling on it in 99, crap anymore
-
MadMexican74 (@Javy_Alonzo) reported@eBay I’m really frustrated at this point. Nothing has been resolved, and there haven’t been any updates or communication. I’ve been patient, but I need a real update on what’s being done and when this issue is actually going to be fixed.
-
ChrisMac (@ChrisMac9999) reported@Mericamemed Poor kid. I'd get ebay on it. Probably can't do much, but maybe they can track the guy down and remove him from ebay.
-
Nuts! (@WestMichAnon) reported@spikesguides @disencabula42 Go eBay, buy an old pair of decent leather boots. Bring to your local cobbler and have them fix them the way you like them. Cobblers are making a come back.

Squirtle Sage (@Squirtle_Sage) reported@PokeTriggz Gotta get locked in on eBay listings. Carddealer pro issues has had me down for the last month. Hoping they have a solution soon 🤞
