aaaaaaaaa (@aaaaaaaaa171039) reported@staypredictable Ok, then sum of parts. Those bonds even if 0% is still debt, either in dilution or cash. So at the end of the day its still overvalued unless they pivot it in a meaningful way. The ebay deal is not, and if after all these years that was cohens grand plan it makes sense its down

Pokemaam (@poke_maam) reportedSellers all be saying bc @eBay is buyer friendly. It is not! Sucks both ways, benefiting bad actors but not genuine issues. Cases Ive lost: - Seller shipped slab in envelope with no protection. Cracked slab arrive. Seller reviews in revent month had many complaints about cracked slabs. Screenshotted reviews and my own cracked slab. I lost. Apparently multiple complaints from many buyers dont matter to ebay. - Seller sent me a PSA 8 instead of PSA 9, opened a case, wrote to seller and seller said he would refund. Went dead. Window for refunds closed on the MiA. Wrote to ebay, says no refund even though wrong item sent. Im sure everyone on both the buyer and seller sides have their own ebay horror stories. So indeed, they are ready for disruption. Fees are less an issue if service is good. Often wonder if they have an actual human reviewing cases.

mr sedan🐸 (@w00perwatch) reported@oveRayster just check out the seller ratings before you buy! I’ve bought and sold a ton on there and only had an issue once but eBay refunded me in the end so it was alright

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reportedTriangulation Fraud vs "Dropshipping" It's not uncommon for $EBAY buyers to receive orders "dropshipped" from Amazon, Walmart etc. There are many variations on the fraud, but generally: If it uses stolen credit card = crime No stolen cc = just terrible eBay buyer experience.

Fury T (@FuryT2dot0) reported@LegendofNoward @Dexerto you are so ******* slow brother. as i sit here on my 3rd monitor on X messaging with you doing 2 other things on my main monitors. keep enjoying that **** box. and, it's just sad if you think I'm flexing my $40k a year in ebay sales when i also work a full time job.

🕊🏴☠️idkshit🏴☠️🕊 (@Benjamino69420) reported@TheMagnifishit Theyre pairs too. Same amount of puts to calls. So if ebay doesnt go through. U sell the long exposure and ride the short exposure right down. Great insurance policy and why i believe MMs and Hedge funds are piling in. One of them opened a 400m put position. Unless thats a brief exposure that will ****** hurt.

Sobriquet (@sobriquet42) reported@alphafox I hadn't used it in over a decade until this past month when I needed an obscure ceiling fan part. I signed up. I got my part, it worked, no issue. 2 weeks later I got an email that ebay has permanently banned my account for suspicious activity. What? Why? What a joke.

Nathan Shobe (@NShobe) reported@alt_w_v_g You know what ebay needs? "eBay local". Put up a fight against Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. FB marketplace is trash, and clist died when they started to charge for posting. Pls fix. Thx.

Wu7chamber (@wu7chamber) reported@alphafox @jo42993661 I started using @mercari_app in 2018. It's better and safer than eBay still, but I have slowly watched it turn and head down the same path. Fees rising, required promotions etc. I'm expecting by 2030 it will be just like eBay.

Thumb Out 42 (@42thumbout) reported@fbb4official @eBay Feels like RC sold us out driving the price down to absolute b**** numbers. What are your thoughts?
-
mathieu malecot (@tragicslip) reported@treesonstumps @alt_w_v_g You can do ok as a buyer on ebay. It's sellers that have a problem, and slowly this bleeds quality buyers. Only the diligent and the scammers are good at using ebay's tools to shop smart.

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reportedInteresting..."Fulfillment by eBay" has been tried several times before & failed - mostly because they were too focused on trying to chase Amazon/replicate FBA but with 3rd party partners, which was a mistake. There are certainly some categories/types of sellers who could benefit from an eBay version but by & large it's not something I see many sellers clamoring for today. Currently eBay is focused on making shipping another revenue path - for example, mandating C2C sellers in UK & Australia to use on-platform purchased labels where eBay pockets whatever discounts they might have in rates. Personally, I'd like to see eBay first focus on negotiating better rates and/or sharing more of the discounts they already have to help bring costs down & drive more sales long-term for those already doing their own fulfillment. But that doesn't mean some kind of FBE offering couldn't make sense or be valuable for at least some segment of the seller-base - if it's done with actual seller needs in mind rather than being designed as just another fee trap.

🕊🏴☠️idkshit🏴☠️🕊 (@Benjamino69420) reportedIdk.. I dont see how this goes bad for Gamestop in any way. I honestly dont. All eyes on Ebay. Ebay deal doesn't go through? - Cohen sells all shares purchased and sells his call portion of the pairs. - When he does, the price of Ebay decreases, and in doing so, shorts pile in. He rides this downslide and cashes in on the puts on the way down. - Gamestop collects BIG. - At this point Ebay would be even cheaper. And you could essentially do the exact same process over again with bigger exposure.. Ebay accepts the deal? - Ryan creates a money making, de-leveraging machine. - Debt will be paid off very quickly and the bloat cut almost instantly. - Net profit would skyrocket. Debt paid off quick. - Any "dilution" wouldnt be noticed by shareholders at all. It is truly win win. Price action only currently allows opportunities to those in a position to buy. Remember idk ****!

Tburdy (@Tburdy) reported@Chase sucks! And we will be removing our business' banking from there if they don't fix this problem right away. We had a sophisticated hack on our computer in March. And they charged over $40,000 to our card. With over 20 transactions. They had control over our computer remotely. They also used our Amazon eBay and Etsy accounts which were logged in to try to purchase other items like gold bars and Amazon gift cards and a $3500 computer. But those companies all knew it was fraud and they canceled it. There were $35,000 in charges directly to the credit card were for a Hong Kong, social media company. Chase just came back to us and told us that they were not going to cover it because they say we clicked on accepting it through our email as a valid charge... we did not do that! the person that had remote control over our computer did it! they were logged into our email there and remotely operating our computer! All the charges happened at midnight. We woke up at 7 AM to alerts for all these charges, and when my husband tried to deny them, it kicked back and said that they were already approved and he couldn't deny them. So he went in to the bank, and the banker said he could take care of it, and he was going to reverse the charges. Well yesterday, somebody from Chase fraud department called and said that we're on the hook for the charges, because it came from our IP address!!!! We tried to explain to the person that it's because they had remote control from somewhere else in the world of our computer because it was a hack. And that us going in the next morning, bright and early as soon as they open to tell them that it was fraud should have been enough. Because that's what the banker told us! We don't do business in China so why would we want to pay a Chinese company? We don't do business at midnight because we're asleep! We filed a police report, but we had not kept the hacking evidence because the bank had assured us that it was going to be reversed. We wiped that computer and haven't been using it. If there's any information still on that computer that might show that it had been hacked before, that I can access still, if somebody can let me know how that would be appreciated.

SimpleMan🏴☠️ (@SimpleMan887) reported@Stonkfather2021 that's true. but our counter party needs to hedge the risk and in theory is buying the underlying asset. If we take the money, not shares, they will have to actually sell the shares and that will bring the eBay price down while in theory strengthening our balance sheet in the process.

Nick Turco (@NickTurco919) reportedeBay, 2013. Listing: men’s polo button down dress shirt Seller: MrsJohns1943 Description: “this was my husband’s favorite shirt. Unfortunately he passed away this year so I am selling it. Too many memories. Free of stains/smells”

Leverage Monkey🐒 (No DM’s or paid group) (@LeverageMonkey) reported@Stonkfather2021 Correct EBay would dilute they would issue more shares so they wouldn’t own 51%. Also institutions need permission to own more than 20% of a publicly traded company. SEC filing and eBay will know about it if filed and will prepare to issue shares to dilute.

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@ermiasbraki Everything I have posted about in the last 2 weeks is something I've been reporting on for ~5 years. So no, I'm not just chasing "the attention economy" but yes I am happy to see some of the longstanding culture, governance & other issues at eBay getting attention they have deserved for some time. Importantly - most of those issues have been completely ignored by legacy business & financial media for years. Maybe someone should ask them why?
-
Jack Dillard (@Kraven1776) reported@ValueAddedRS Hey Liz. Have you considered that eBay was just a valuation trap? Ryan used eBay to officially validated GameStops $20billion TD letter as legitimate by turning down the offer. So in public’s eyes ryan has $20 billion plus $9 billion. He’s buying the DK Buyterfly Inc shell.

Bhanu D — sys/acc (@iBhanuDahiya) reportedThe unspoken 11 step pipeline of a "quick" Home Lab media server upgrade: 1. Notice a 3 second buffer on a local 4K stream. 2. Blame the OS. Decide to migrate to a bare metal Proxmox VE cluster. 3. Buy three refurbished Dell PowerEdge servers off eBay at 2 AM. 4. Hire an electrician to install a dedicated 30 amp circuit in the utility closet. 5. Spend an entire weekend configuring a Ceph storage pool for high availability. 6. Containerize the media stack using custom Kubernetes Helm charts. 7. Deploy Traefik reverse proxy with Wildcard Let's Encrypt via Cloudflare DNS challenge. 8. Spin up Prometheus and Grafana to monitor individual P core temps. 9. Route cluster failure alerts directly to your personal PagerDuty app. 10. Complete the migration after spending $2,800 and burning two weeks of PTO. 11. Watch your partner stream exactly one compressed 720p episode of Friends before falling asleep 6 minutes in.

DataAndFinance (@EmotionMarkets) reported@unusual_whales Ryan Cohen calling $EBAY “run by losers” is funny. But structurally, it also matters. The deal is not dead, but it has clearly moved from normal M&A into hostile-pressure territory. eBay already rejected the bid as “neither credible nor attractive,” and the financing gap is still the biggest practical problem. That makes the $GME setup less about whether the takeover is likely tomorrow, and more about whether the crowd can keep the pressure organized. SETA is seeing that pressure return: $GME narrative coherence has rebuilt to 0.276, with the tape lifting around “ebay rejects,” “takeover,” and “credible attractive.” So the read is: Low probability clean deal. High-friction hostile campaign. Live squeeze risk if the M&A narrative keeps cohering.

denny (@dennyluan) reportedfunny story, bluebird SRs ran a distributor instead of a coil pack, and the one on my donor engine was dead. in 2005 i posted on craigslist, and tracked down a spare ECU in Everett, WA from a 70 year old man who collected 240sx's. he was a millionaire from selling old farmland he bought in the 1950s, and for fun he built a barn with two working lifts just to restore S13 240sx's to showroom condition with all OEM parts. he had probably 10+ in various states that once finished he'd just sell to random people. he had a separate barn with a hidden sliding door with a room full of spare parts he collected off ebay. i spent a day with him driving back and forth between his farms to try and find the part. ive always wondered what happened to him, and regretted not staying in touch. pic of the beat up dodge colt he drove.

Loki (@Trickster42069) reported@Stonkfather2021 The problem with your maths is as soon as they start buying billions worth of shares... its going to drive the price of Ebay up significantly per share also majority of eBay shares are held by institutions.

RaichuRocks🇺🇲 (@RaichuRocks99) reported@wemby210 @CardPurchaser had a similar issue at a high roller vendor table. They had the Unified Minds double Raichu/Alolan(tail grab) PSA 10. Collectr had it at 1.3k. Latest sale was 2k. Guy wanted the ebay BIN price of 2.5k. No thanks. He said Collectr is slow at catching up

Jon Bryson (@jonbryson93) reported@Jbm_dev Because listing industrial electronic items on eBay through eBays app takes to long especially when all the details of the items matter and typing them allows for too much human error. I built a Ebay listing agent that allows you to just take multiple pictures of the item especially the name plate, then it drafts the Ebay listing while you are off taking the next set of photos. Not to mention it sets a price based off of eBay sales as well as historical data and google data. At the end of the day you have a big list of drafts to review to ensure accuracy and then you do a bulk listing push to Ebay live. I've reduced the time to list one item from 8 minutes down to less than 1 minute.
