    @GabeyCardStacks It’s not right. What kills me is how eBay can fix this and they don’t. Also it’s BS that eBay takes full 13% on shipping fees instead of just the 3% processing fee

    @Dantheman7513 Get a humidor, put it in for 10 mins or so, clamp it or put it inside a book for a day or so. Repeat a few times, you'd be surprised how much itll help. Ive had to fix "nm" cards ive ordered on ebay a few times.

    @KLeinzz0xL Just a hobby. I buy cheap broken consoles on Ebay and fix them. If I don't have one I add it to my collection, otherwise I trade them into the game store or gift them to friends. This particular ps1 is going to a friend who's ps1 broke recently

    @damselsimi @dmmsell This viral video promotes a powdered drain cleaner like "Gold Drain" or "Wild Tornado" (sold on Amazon/eBay). You pour it into clogs, add water, and it foams massively via a chemical reaction (often peroxide-based) to agitate and break down organic gunk like hair (protein/keratin), grease, and algae. Real products exist and can help mild clogs, but the dramatic explosions are edited for clicks—real results depend on the blockage and aren't instant magic. The Japanese poster’s doubt makes sense; it's hyped but not fake.

    @WeebyRevy same but: - go to see marketplaces and flea markets - see a x game for $100... in questionable condition, but because it's “THE GAME” - go to eBay, and the same game is listed for $500 because it's sealed the problem is how they classified the original ones...

    @JayBobSons Brother I am a top rated eBay seller, I’ve had 100s of people with 0 feedback buy and I’ve had no problems. Plenty times I sold slabs and seen them being posted by a celebrity and more. Scared money don’t make no money, it’s just facts.

    @WeebyRevy To be fair, the console could be broken. My original Dreamcast won't play discs anymore. It was cheaper to buy a new Dreamcast (and I did) than repair my original one. A lot of people buy and sell broken consoles on Ebay to use for things like this.

    @Famos21 @HeyAaronW @CardPurchaser You get a receipt when you pay on eBay. So there ya go, cus idk what you mean by that. Topps take $ day of pre order months before any inkling of shipping. Again, calm down buddy. Are you upset cus you like to win auctions then cancel? If not idk why you are crying?

    @eBay I have funds on hold due to an MC011 restriction, but the link to submit required info is broken across all devices. Support has not resolved this after multiple calls. I need a working submission method ASAP.

    @lynn_dodds84927 I just found 10 items that are cheaper on eBay vs Amazon in about 15 seconds. Amazon should be faster you're paying a membership fee. Since they started using the United States Postal Service that is went downhill in my area. As for returns I've had a few issues but even if the seller does not want to accept the return eBay forces them to and gives you your money back and sometimes you get to keep the item.

    @Cross_Malaki Many gaming consoles play DVDs, too. A CD/DVD player attachment you can connect to a computer is dirt cheap at Walmart. Combo TV & DVD players are still manufactured, or you can get retro ones on eBay. And yes, there are still people who know how to fix them if things break.

    @quinnysoda It’s OK it happens. I’m pretty sure if I do decide to get it down the line I can find it on eBay.

    @SeanieQdup @ShiningScience The story is real but from 2018, not recent. Jackson Oswalt (Memphis, TN) built a homemade fusor (inertial electrostatic confinement device) in his bedroom using eBay parts, inspired by a TED Talk. He achieved deuterium fusion at age 12 (technically, just before turning 13), earning a Guinness World Record as the youngest to do so. The FBI visited once with a Geiger counter to check for radiation leaks as a safety precaution—no raid, no issues found. The viral post and image sensationalize it; fusors like this are a known amateur science project, not "star power" fusion.

    @LememeJames ******* scalpers are literally greedy *** clowns !!! Scalpers hurt people trying to collect for the hobby by trying to gouge actual TCG collectors….its one thing to buy a pack and down the road trade or sell your cards but taking entire shelves to upsell on eBay for 4x too far!

    @saltyalmonds_ @McFranchisee As a buyer, you'll get your money. eBay always sides with the buyer unless the item is drastically different than the description. Thankfully I haven't had any issues with buyers yet.

    @ehelpmann I had about 40 buys on ebay until 2022 and now 13 sells in the last months. Not one problem, I am able to check the Silver. I surely only buy from accounts which have good reviews and a history. Thanks for the tip but I am not interested in buying physical in the moment. I sold 25% of my Silver and got all the money back I have ever invested and still have 75% (1258oz) of the metal. I will not sell anymore. Additional Silver I would buy via ETFs.

    @XRPee1983 I've seen this seller a lot on eBay and whilst they do have some great items, they sell collectables at obscene prices I dont understand why they wont try to price it fairly even if its initially ridiculous like 25K. At least you can negotiate down You can haggle from $5 mill!

    @DGcards40 @AllCardsAreCool Not gonna lie it’s a good deal, but I have had terrible experiences buying from X, if you had it up on eBay I’d consider buying it but you’d lose 13% on the sale.
