Royals_Cards (@Royals_Cards) reported@den_jvs Having bought cards on ebay for over 25 years now. The amount of time it takes to get a resolution from most sellers isn't worth the effort. Upload 4-5 pictures, back and forth with a seller, repackaging and shipping, 2-5 days shipping delay, 2-3 days for a refund. Assuming they even take it back for a category that has no refunds. Assuming you don't have to have ebay step in and make a ruling adding 10-30 business days. I already went through the effort of sourcing the card. Looking through pictures, checking descriptions for notated issues, checking recent feedback. A refund at this point isn't worth the effort. Leaving correct feedback with pictures to let future buyers know what they can expect. That's the whole point of feedback. I don't buy from people with under 98% feedback as it is. Fake feedback inflation is a thing. I'm not taking a "partial refund" to change my review. There's no scenario a seller "makes it right" by me changing my review. There's no consequence otherwise of the seller continuing to sell damaged cards as NM and no way for anyone else to know what the seller is doing. Ebay listing is near dummy proof. You have to actively select what the condition is. If you're a lazy seller and are "too busy" to look at the condition of your card, it's not a mistake you marked it NM, it's negligence. Mark all your cards as excellent or very good then, problem solved. I kicked 25% of the cards I bought off ebay out of grading. I left negative feedback on 5% of those as they were egregiously damaged. The other 20% were near mint with accurate pictures, just not clean enough for my preferences on what I send in. I left them positive feedback. Sellers earn their reviews both positive and negative.

Michael Bushnell (@mlbushnell81) reported@IGN I got ahead of this issue last year. I bought an old Kindle Keyboard off Ebay and used it to rip my books to epub in Calibre. Kindle Keyboard is one of the few remaining Kindles that can connect to the Amazon store and uses the older version of Amazon's DRM, which is easily broken. My wife and I are going to move to Kobo readers so we can use DRM free books.

Chris Goldie (@Omega_Prism) reported@eBay Part 1: My account was permanently suspended after what appears to be my first ever warning, and your support team has completely refused to explain why. I’ve contacted support multiple times and keep getting generic responses with no actual reason or path to fix.
-
DogeSeeds🇨🇦🇺🇸 (@DogeSeeds) reported@for_options @JimMcMurtry01 I've found the Amazon ones to be of higher quality than Ebay. I have a collection of 12, so when my friends want to go get drunk in a park we wear them. If the police trouble us we just scream Gladue Law! Great investment. Haven't worked for free dental/prescriptions though..yet
-
EMAC (@emac_rex) reported@FlockMastaMon @CardPurchaser Happens on eBay sometimes too. I’ve gotten a negative review because a dude found a better deal on a card the next day and wanted a full refund, but I had already sent it to the post office and have a no returns policy. They like to take out operator error on the seller.
-
Toxic Maximus🍊🪙 (@SatoshiNasaketo) reported@eBay you just proved my point perfectly—automated responses with zero intention to fix anything. If this is your support, what exactly am I paying with my time for?
-
Rokness (@Rokness1) reportedEBay needs to fix this, I’ve reported the seller as well an EBay seems to protect the scammer of a seller even when all proof has been provided.

Chris Goldie (@Omega_Prism) reported@eBay Part 2: This lack of transparency is unacceptable. I’m willing to comply with any policy, but I can’t fix something when no one will tell me what went wrong. The process has been frustrating, inconsistent, and honestly unfair. I’m asking for a clear explanation.

Ry (@RyArsenal) reportedGrown man, bought an empty water bottle off eBay and carried it down on a train. Now checking it out on his phone. Modern football fandom. Jesus Christ. Burn it down. It’s all Ballers League.
-
Havoc_Actual 🇺🇸 (@Havoc_XXI) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay @Topps Good to know such a large card account is a complete ******. I simply said you should be upset at Topps in the first place. If I have anything going to an authenticity check, I always put it in a one-touch and I’ve never had an issue. Have even requested it from numerous sellers and never had an issue but by all means keep crying about it and being a d-bag. 👍🏾

Triple Seven (@Triple___Seven) reportedThis is actually really important. ive been responding a lot about this exact need. Now I need to see if I can get their data and then we can see more volume on the P2P marketplaces. why? because there is a lot of arb between NFTs and ebay. but what was broken to realize this is the fulfillment. if you can have a place like Dylil ship to the buyer. not only does it protect the user. it actually makes the arbitrage more efficient! When more people see this I would expect more volume going to @dyli_io

Bourbon Invesments 2 (@BourbonInvestm2) reported@renoipgp @natsturner @eBay Fakes are fakes and always going to happen unfortunately. I think the system works fine. As a seller that frequently sends to PSA I’ve been fine with all except 1. Where card was send clean zero issues perfect corners and suddenly I got a message from authenticator showing a damaged corner indicating they dropped it. But buyer and I worked together. I’m not a fan of complaints just being complaints with assumptions. I’m sure you that about it. So let me ask, how would You design this program to be better? Without loophole?

Chuck (@chuckiev79) reportedBought pimax micro oled in feb and the waiting is killing me. The more time goes on, the more people i see complain about software or hardware issues with them on reddit. I passed on 2 play for dreams on ebay. I swear if i see one more im cancelling the oled and getting the pfd.
-
GEM Mint Truth (@james_bring) reported@trunkofcards @CardPurchaser The seller shouldn’t care about someone else’s eBay fees. Not the sellers problem.
-
Joe at StakX (@joestakx) reporteddown to 61 raw available on eBay...
-
Jeff Stein (@MightGaineDX) reported@ToolalaJ Shopping on Ebay for Transformers is terrible these days. Ever seller "knows what they got" and buyers paying top dollar for broken/damaged toys with no accessories and sticker damage.
-
Squid (@sydkg02) reported@eBay Please look into this user. I have sent in a report but since this user has been known to talk to underage people online, this is kind of an issue that needs to be dealt with asap
-
maxx (@maxxbayo) reported@SparkMinus Gamestop's return credit is terrible. I reccomend selling online (ebay, mercari, etc) or local (facebook marketplace, offerup, any local game store that ISNT gamestop)
-
CreekSideAaron (@Dizzle541) reported@RandyTreibel @CardPurchaser You can’t directly message people on eBay unless they’re a buyer or seller. There’s no way to just casually have conversation with them. You’re just trying to stir up trouble and make something out of nothing.

Johnny Rotten (@JohnnyRott2xga) reported@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.
-
Nic🫶🏻le✌🏼👟 (@1t0ughco0kie) reportedHas anyone ever NOT had their sneaks authenticated on eBay? I’ve never had a problem, but I’m sure it happens?
-
. (@Ericc5Bears) reported@Dm_Cards_ @CardsBoulevard The owner of the real prizm black (and a few other smart people I follow) seem convinced it’s actually a fake and not even a mistakenly made 2nd copy so I think a lot of potential factors at play that drove the price on the eBay one down.

ybee 𓆩⍟𓆪 smbk all the time (@mcu_liker) reported@spideygalsolo I got mine on ebay! they're the brave new world & you and thunderbolts & you jpn exclusive plush so unfortunately they're very overpriced for what they are. I only ended up getting them bc they stopped trying to sell bucky for 100usd LOL so they'll probably continue to go down
-
why (@kirk202020) reported@eBay_UK Messaged customer service 6 hours ago here on twitter still waiting for a reply. Ebay app is also useless for getting In touch the AI just sends you in circles and the help section is rubbish and never ever related to the issue.
-
Griefcliff aka, grief "jackhammer" cliff (@griefcliff) reported@usrnamewastkn @fleshsimulator You're also paying way too much on AMZ, they claim one is left in stock, and I almost made an error and purchased it, before checking eBay. all copies of Mamas foot could be purchased and a cartel could potentially set it's price.
-
Tyler Rhoney (@Sw0lleyMammoth) reported@thehaileemurphy Hi! You can buy codes on EBay at the start of every season for $20. TMobile users get it free and sell the codes - I’ve done this for 5 years now and haven’t had a problem. Great way to save money in the future :)
-
Robb Carlson (@robbc_) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay It’s such a terrible “service” they’re offering - just put EVERY order at risk.
-
Pam Smith (@smith_pam69218) reported@eBay_UK must have the worse ever customer services. Have just wasted over an hour trying to withdraw funds from my account. I’m sure I would have no problems in using funds to buy on eBay. Doubt if I’ll use eBay to sell future items.
