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.

TonguesOutGlassArt (@boroartgroyper) reported@2ray_degenemax @ahiychmpsm eBay is likely the least headache, but assume it will be opened by customs. If you have a bunch of trouble finding a good source I’ll happily hit a 7-11 and send you the whole line up, but private shipping is $$$ corporate is $, so eBay will probably be cheaper

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.

ThePPShow (@ThePPseedsShow) reported@SylvesterPatr0n @magsonthemoon @eBay Why did he choose May 13? Something definitely is going down

Aaron (@Strubanger13) reported@eBay any way to check if there is an issue on a card sitting with an authenticator since 4/27?

tweetthisjay (@tweetthisjay) reported@RJ74120113 why are you adding? If Ebay offer happens, won’t GME go down? I also have calls so honestly want to know.

Jesse Dalba (@JesseDalba) reported@alphafox I pretty loyal to eBay. I’ve got all my computers, motorcycle parts, and any expensive electronic there. I’ve had a few issues selling… but selling things in general sucks.
-
Sep 🌸⚔️ (@venom_cipher) reported@vvvvioll And then returned to the seller. When I tried to contact them, I found that their eBay account was entirely gone. $80 USD down the drain… I did end up getting them from Best Buy a few years later though!

Ecomint NEWS (@ecomintnews) reported🚨 DEVELOPING: GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen Escalates eBay Takeover Battle 🚨 Following the rejection of his $56 billion unsolicited bid, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is doubling down. In a formal letter to the eBay board, Cohen demanded that shareholders be given the final word on the $125-per-share cash-and-stock proposal. The bid, which eBay dismissed as "neither credible nor attractive," represents a significant premium over recent trading prices.

JTS (@jtshaseo) reported@Arliee11 Yeah I found a Japanese ebay seller that sells used or open box or broken figures and they had a whole bunch I've been looking for... like some magical girl lyrical nanoha figures from Alter and some queens blade figures I don't have. So now I do :3

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?

Las Vegas Ape🦍 (@lasvegas_ape) reportedGameStop stock is down -11.75% in one week on news that they bought a bunch of eBay calls that are very much in the green. LOL. Everything is fake. TICKTOCK HEDGIE🦍🦍🦍#GME $GME

bad robot (@foxenflask) reportedBe Like Jamie Iannone, CEO of $EBAY - Slip, fall and land at Booz Allen Hamilton, the consulting firm of choice for people who want a prestigious first line on their résumé - Join Epinions dot com just in time for it to get absorbed into irrelevance - Spend eight years at eBay as a VP, accumulate titles, leave no memorable legacy, walk out the door - Become EVP at Barnes & Noble's Nook division, watch sales crater 61%, depart with two other senior executives just before the full reckoning arrives - Get promoted to COO of Walmart U.S. eCommerce, hold that title for three weeks, jump ship to eBay - Become eBay CEO in April 2020 on the strength of a collapsed e-reader division and a month of Walmart COO experience - Coin the phrase "tech-led reimagination" and repeat it for five years - Inherit a campus pub called "The Sellar" serving free beer and wine daily from 3 PM to 6 PM, built at company expense as a replica of your predecessor's favorite Manhattan bar, inside a company whose culture federal court documents described as one of "heavy drinking" pervasive throughout the workday - Inherit the fallout from your predecessor's security chief, Jim Baugh, ex-CIA operative, who ran a terror campaign against newsletter journalists involving live spiders, cockroaches, a fetal pig, a funeral wreath, death threats, pornographic magazines sent to neighbors, and a 3,000-mile surveillance drive to Massachusetts in a black van - Watch seven eBay employees convicted, Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison, eBay hit with six felony charges and the maximum $3 million criminal fine, ordered to address "consumption of alcohol to excess on Company premises," and keep The Sellar open anyway - Watch the victims settle just before trial after seeking $466 million in punitive damages - Collect $144 million in compensation over six years, never buy a single share of eBay stock, and execute 53 insider transactions, all sales, offloading $71.59 million in gifted shares - Redefine GMV, call a $13 billion annual impact "immaterial," then when restated buyer figures still look bad, stop reporting active buyers altogether and pivot to metrics you define and control - Preside over 16 consecutive quarters of active buyer counts below Q1 2018 levels, watching the total fall from 163 million to 136 million, padding that last number with 1 million acquired via Tise - Raise seller fees every single year, build ad revenue to a nearly $2 billion annualized run rate by changing attribution so one click triggers fees on every subsequent sale for 30 days, sending seller ad costs from 30-40% to 80-90%+ of sales with no increase in actual returns - Mask GAAP operating margin declining from 37.6% in 2020 to 20.8% in 2025 by always leading with the non-GAAP figure, making the business look 5-6 points healthier than it is - Lay off 500, then 1,000, then 800 employees while your own pay grows - Acquire TCGplayer for $295 million, watch its employees unionize, hire a union-busting law firm, strip workers' rights language from your own human rights policy, lose every NLRB case, and only bargain when legally forced - Acquire Depop for $1.2 billion, a company losing $54 million on $128 million in revenue that Etsy already wrote down by $425 million, call it a Gen Z strategy, ignore Morgan Stanley projecting it won't break even until 2028 - Sell 343,000 banned emissions defeat devices and 23,000 illegal pesticides years after federal cease-and-desist orders, then schedule a sustainability media blitz the same afternoon the DOJ files suit - Have Ryan Cohen and $GME offer $125 per share, a 46% premium and an all-time high valuation, and reject it as "neither credible nor attractive" while margins decline, buyers leave, and your latest acquisition loses money - Have Cohen note you took $144 million and bought zero shares while he invested $128 million of his own money and draws no salary - Call it a comeback - Keep selling your stock 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

finley (@jscottfinley) reported@ryancohen My wife has popular collectibles listed with zero views bc she won’t pay the fee. Literally zero views Pls fire everyone at eBay immediately and fix it thanks boss

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.

Dirk Dickbutt (@dickbutt_dirk) reported@Escapissed85 yeah I put down a few orders on Ebay, I was just trying to expand my options a bit.
-
Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reportedImportant to note: seller reports of being randomly charged ad fees for months old orders started coming in on June 6, 2025. Date on the eBay community staff "system error" post: June 12, 2025. So it took 6 days for $EBAY to come up with that nonsense, making this a perfect example of not only predatory ad practices but terrible customer service too. 👎
-
John Hickelmeyer (@JHickelmeyer) reported@AzzyDesignWorks I wouldn't doubt the artificial shortages at all. My manifolds cracked (common issue) took nearly 8 months for the dealer to get the parts. I could have bought them on ebay the next day but I wasn't paying for the parts.
-
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.

ARB_Investing (@BetterDays47) reported@lasvegas_ape It’s down because RC will acquire eBay one way or another and dilution will happen. RC himself told in the interview a dilution would happen.

Bitcoin Dumb Money APE (@BTCDumbMoneyAPE) reported@ryancohen Please fix the seller fees! They are too high and it’s driving people crazy. Make eBay Great Again! 🇺🇸💰😎

Chef Jeff (@ChefJeff2185) reported@APompliano @ryancohen The owners, interesting who owns ebay and who likes making money. State street, vanguard, Cohen, who else owns 4.9% of ebay. Still feel like This is happening. They cant hold GMEs price down forever. Great interview.
-
bobby (@lisiraill) reported@PhantomBlack699 @birdzone24 @ryancohen GME holders cannot live on fresh air. We are entitled to make a profit the same way as Ryan Cohen makes profit on Apple stocks. It is not cool the way the GME holders are expected to live on a fresh air and go broke watching a billionaire talk about his baby in eBay, you can correct me if I am wrong explain to me how GME holders are meant to survive when the stock keeps going down. I know delusion was supposed to believe a billionaire.

Naked Truth . Info - Nonprofit Organization (@Nakedtruthinfo) reportedThis is fact and it’s control and manipulation by the elites! So many people used to make a living now @eBay has become a monopoly for the board to remain rich while taking from the average person just trying to keep the lights on…. And the so called live auctions nothing more than cheap flea market and con artist with dopamine hits. It’s become a 3 ring circus while those that truly relied on their eBay store for decades. THAT eBay was traded for ego and greed and it’s now a cheap online flea market robbing people during a dopamine fix. Yea, this is you @eBay @ryancohen

Randy Emerson U.S.A. (@RandyEmersonUS) reported@FT Not gonna happen old news eBay has already shut them down
-
picstoral (@picstoral) reportedFeeling down enough, then a (eBay) return cancelled out the profit I made from the buyer who bought three items (same one who bought an item I couldn't find). I write detailed descriptions, no AI for me. Color, shape, size, a brief history if I know it. That piece of jewelry that was returned was expensive for its size. Yet despite the detail the buyer "just didn't like it" and it was "too small". Now I'm worried that it will happen again. Like I said I'm just a small time seller on SSDI & can't absorb that much of a return like big sellers can.

14.144 (@leikimiki) reported@punk9059 It's just a matter of convenience If the service is more user-friendly and actually solves a problem that eBay can’t, then of course it will be able to outcompete eBay
-
IMAYSELLIT (@imaysellit) reported@iky_fwjett That's not a flip, that's theft. Wild that eBay makes it so easy for anyone to list anything without confirming ownership. The $25 find was solid though — $600-700 to the right buyer is real. Just wild it went down like this.
-
Corey McKay (@CMcKayFL) reported@cursedconnector Are you sure your bank isn't talking to eBay? 🤪 Yeah, that's definitely a big problem.

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.
