  Some collectibles have phases where they’re popular then suddenly they’re not I’d put the following things in this category: -Nike shoes -Watches -Designer clothes (Supreme) -Memorabilia Etc.. One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is GameStops ability to pivot into these areas Use capital to buy up the unloved category while it’s down, build up inventory and then sell it at its peak. They could even use Powerpacks if they wish. Imagine a $100 power pack where you can win a Rolex… When you pair that with the global reach of eBay they will have the monopoly on collectibles THAT is why wallstreet hate this EBay deal GameStop forever

  @tm1515152005 what platform? cause that makes a huge difference if its your own, like Squarespace, or a third party like eBay. But one thing if you ship alot like we do (everyday) is google every address and make sure it matches and it not a weird freight forwarding company. This mitigates chargeback issues.

  Did @ebay fire all their devops engineers and replace them with AI? If so, it makes perfect sense as their website has been down for at least 10 minutes so far. Legitimate requests are blocked with a 403 response.

  @OffDaHook35 It’s an eBay glitch. Happened to me twice. Very important that you check your listing before you hit send.

  Ugh, so much plastic gear turning up broken. I suspect a lot of it is because of parcels being thrown around, but there's also a lot of bad packing, like one or two layers of bubble and then the rest of box is full of space for the items to fly around in, feels like the ration of horses with their tails still attached is 5 to 1. Trains, if they're in their original box, they never pad them out, so when they arrive, all the brittle front engine parts are smashed. I stopped trying to get a good one because it felt like I was slaughtering the vintage product line by have so many turn up damaged, I mean old brittle plastic, no effective protection. So many do a really good job. I mean, I tell folk it turned up without a tail, or xy broken and it just upsets everyone. And as you're the one that received it, it's like it's your fault, first anyone has heard of broken. And no one wants to ruin someone’s 100% ebay feedback. So it just goes on and on. I don't think it's about have ebay stuff, it's about it turning up in one piece, after nth goes. nth folk bad packing and delivery screw ups. Shopping, retail therapy should be a good time. But by time its gone through the mill of bad packing and delivery, the dream has turned into a stressful nightmare.

  @Schwartzcards2 @eBay Looks like eBay's edge/CDN layer (WAF or bot-protection) is misconfigured or mid-deployment. I think its blocking legitimate traffic with a blanket 403 forbidden error, rather than the origin servers actually being down.

  Fundamentally, we know we can go to Etsy, EBay, or Walmart instead of Amazon. We know we can scroll down in Amazon search results to peruse 3rd party seller offerings. If the degree of vertical integration Amazon has achieved lowers prices, that’s good for consumers.

  I do not understand why @eBay does not just block ESE as an option if someone pays for USPS Ground Advantage in the listing. Seems like an easy fix to stop a bunch of issues.

  This dam was built by highly corrupt SNC Lavelin. It was supposed to be 12 billion. It was over 20. There has yet to be any audit . It was built of the soft earthen banks of the peace & is highly likely to fail or its banks catastrophically collapse EBay had best stand down

  @LordCharizard33 Ya I feel that man. I've only tried like 4 releases now, and have been let down every time. **** is always sold out. What I don't understand is how people are able to do pre sales on eBay for these items when getting them is not guaranteed. I really think something is broken.

  I have sold over $12 million worth of high-end watches. Here’s the thing: I’m not in the watch business; I know nothing about watches. Hell, I don’t even wear a watch. This is a story of opportunity. Read along, and I can show you how I did it and how you can, too. I was buying consumer electronics returns from a company with which I had built up a ton of credibility over the years. I always bought everything they had. I always paid on time. I never complained about small problems. I knew the opportunity with them was good, and I didn’t want to screw it up. Opportunities handled well lead to more opportunities. After a few years of buying, I got a call from a guy in another division of this business. Let’s call him Bob. Bob: “Hey, John says you are reliable. We have a problem in another division, and I wonder if you would be interested in a different product line?” Me, as I utter the four most powerful words in my vocabulary: “How can I help?” It seems that Bob had lost a buyer of a unique product line: high-end watches. The company was worried about selling its customer returns to a new buyer. I wasn’t new. and I possessed a unique attribute: Trust I had put in the time, energy, and money to build a relationship with their consumer electronics division. Did I mention I know nothing about watches? I still don’t. But I figured I could learn. Step 1: Get the deal. The deals are the hardest thing to find. Money to buy and customers to sell to – easy. Well, easier. The challenge with this product line that I knew nothing about was that it was a firehose. An instant multi-million-dollar business that I had to open wide and take on with little knowledge. So what did I do? I went on eBay, naturally. I found every watch seller I could find and started reaching out to them. I spoke to 87 people before I got to one guy who didn’t think I was nuts. Dimitri had his partner fly out to my office the next day. I showed him some samples, and we agreed on a markup for my services. We shook hands on the deal. Dimitri sent a wire transfer, and I shipped him the product. We’ve done over $12M worth of business on that handshake. About that markup. Here’s another secret to success: let other people make money off you. Since I knew there was little risk, it was pretty passive, and the volume would be high, I didn’t need to make much on each item. I kept my take very small so Dimitri could put the time and effort into building a sustainable business. This allowed me to focus on my other businesses while this “side hustle” paid for my kid's private school, bought my cars, and more. The key takeaways here: Opportunities handled well lead to more opportunities. Finding the deal is the most important thing. The most powerful phrase in the world: How can I help? Give me a follow @ShannonJean if this post resonates with you.

  @eBay @eBay This is useless. I don’t need to contact support — I need you to actually fix your broken system. You make bidders add a payment method but still let them ghost for four days. Stop wasting sellers’ time with these automated non-answers and just charge the damn card when they win an auction.

  @JobTavon @insomniacgames 1. You don’t even have to drive to a store if you don’t want to, go on Amazon or Ebay and get a new or used game with a disc in good shape. The only thing you have to lose here is patience, but ownership is far more important than instant convenience for glorified renting. 2. You have to physically TRY to break a disc, or you just have to be that damn careless. And the hardware itself for any console could have an issue first, not just the drive. And replacing the drive itself doesn’t cost as much anyways, only cost me a solid $20 for a 16 year old Xbox 360 console. 3. Sharing an account comes with more risks, because you have to genuinely trust that person with that account data. Let’s say a friendship is ruined, what if that ex-friend decides to delete your cloud data, delete/lockup your account, or **** with your account information? Overall, sharing a disc or cartridge with a friend is much safer overall. You could argue that friend could end up ruining the disc or the cartridge. If it were that bad, then hopefully your friend will care enough to pay you back. Especially if it were for a title like Silent Hill for the PS1, or Deadpool on the Xbox/PlayStation.

  @MossutoNicholas @SlowNewsDayShow I haven't even looked into going to a junkyard for car parts for the past 15 years. Pain in the ***, we have no pick-a-part yards in my area, and I've never had trouble finding what I need on ebay or Marketplace.

  Thanks @PlayStation. I guess it was all meant to be after all. I bought my first PS5 in July of 2023. Mere months after I had purchased this, you announced the Spider-Man 2 PS5 and PS5 Slim Models. I was sad that I’d missed out on that Spider-Man console. In 2024 I had to sell that PS5 when I lost my job. On July 1st, you made the announcement that you were discontinuing the production of physical games in 2028. That same day, I bought this used PS5 Standard on eBay. This included the standard white PS5, controller, Spider-Man 2 console plates, and the boxes for everything. About a week later I purchased a sealed Spider-Man 2 PS5 controller to complete the set. If you hadn’t made this announcement, I would’ve likely waited for a PS6. So thank you for making such a terrible announcement. Ensuring that this will be my last PlayStation console and that console was the one I missed out on the first go around.

  @ValueAddedRS @ODB123 @ryancohen If price goes down, EBay looks fraudulent for not accepting the $125 offer. If the price goes up, Ryan/GME looks like geniuses for accumulating unrealized gains. So, we trade sideways (for now), but eventually, something will give, and therefore, a backup plan is not needed.

  @paulcarldigital I have based my entire ebay store on bookmarking this thread and making notes on it. The only thing holding me back sometimes is that im not selling bulk purchased cards for 10-15% on the dollar so ive been starting with pricing my lots at a tad lower than the lowest price that each card is currently up for sale at and then taking 10% off of the entire lot. Most of them dont sell until I bump them down a couple times(even though its already a great deal on price). Starting to consider taking 15-20% off but that burns because its all stuff ive ripped over the years. Free shipping of course. I add the minimal cost into the price of the lot though.

  @eBay I have to say, I'm floored at just how bad you guys have become. Honestly, 20 years on your platform and you can't even send a human to fix your mess? This is why @Walmart and @amazon are eating your lunch. Have fun with your scammers.
