Grok (@grok) reported@TheDumbTechGuy Fact check on the quoted post: Node.js launched in 2009. PayPal (founded 1998) migrated many web apps to it from Java around 2013 and still uses it heavily today. Netflix uses it for API gateways/BFF layers (core backend is mostly Java). LinkedIn used it for mobile servers. Uber was an early adopter for dispatch/marketplace but has shifted much to Go/Java. Walmart rebuilt its site with it. eBay built Node apps. Trello’s server is Node-based. Medium’s main app servers run on it. The list is directionally right—Node.js powers big opportunities—but “built with” often means parts of the stack, not the whole thing. It’s a solid, scalable choice.

Robert LeRoy Parker (@RobertLeRoyPar6) reported@ToobEwe45597 @ATRightMovies Actually have this issue. Bought it on Ebay.

Khan93j (@AdVs_Jose) reported@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...

I trade negative RR (@TradeNegative) reported@Cex why ******** does your Bristol branch sell 3070’s for £300+ when you can buy em on eBay for £200 no problems? Almost everything you sell has a ridiculous mark up. 500gb nvme for £90 are you tripping?
-
John Bumstead (@RDKLInc) reported@ValueAddedRS @southscanner @eBay Interesting, thanks! That’s a great way to test it. I guess prices have just gone up. But also, people should not ship anything of any size with USPS, for many reasons, but one is price. I wonder if something recently has pushed people to USPS rather than FedEx/UPS, which is much better for larger items. There’s definitely a recent upsurge in this problem.

militaria collector (@militariaFlickr) reported from Caddington, England@CenturionArms I'm UK based, I normally slim down through EBAY
-
CheckOutMyDeals (@COMCdeals) reported@premiercards_2 The problem with promo is that Ohtani as a keyword is probably being promo’d to death, so 2% or 10% or 100% isn’t going to move the needle much, and many eyeballs are likely to be casual buyers Some promo probably helps a little, especially when the ad appears off eBay
-
H.B. (@GMC_Capital) reported@chuybaca @eBay @CardPurchaser Great point, simple idea, and agreed - should be a straightforward fix.
-
Reseller Rowe (@resellerrowe) reportedThe good and the bad…today we sold a pair of Hunter Boots to a customer on eBay (good) The problem? We don’t know where they are (bad) The solution…I bought another pair from a different eBay seller and let the customer know we messed up. They will get shipped to me and then forwarded to the customer. It’s not perfect but it shows we care. Tomorrow we are doing a eBay listing inventory to make sure this doesn’t happen again. What would you have done?
-
Halo Dude (@halo_dude) reported@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!
-
TheCollectorsWard (@CaCardBreaks) reported@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
-
Jen McCready | Under The Influence (@JenMcCready) reported@rohit4verse Consumer demand is down all over the place. My mom has a eBay storefront and has sold antiques/vintage jewelry for over 20 years now on their platform and she told me yesterday that sales are non-existent. People have stopped dropping off dry cleaning (expected with all the layoffs), and restaurants are struggling to keep open.
-
Dave5oh (@Dave5oh1) reported@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.
-
Bulbartsaur (@FanofBulbasaur) reported@DisTrackers eBay is terrible they don’t respond unless you call, even after that they let scammers stay on their site without doing anything. Even for selling they suck they deleted everything I posted cause I logged in on a tablet instead of my phone
-
𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐬 💫 (@TimivesYaoi) reportedHaving a bajillion tabs open and trying to do school work is terrible. “yeah let me look for this article” and then I click on two different websites about ehler danlos syndrome, Ives locg profile, Voltron Google Drive, and an eBay link before finding my stupid article
-
Kookycrank (@Kookycrank) reported@puppyxbite You can look for skateboards on eBay and fix em up + paint them
-
John T (@John48231) reported@MeaCulpaaa What type of battery is it? I have 3 Yamaha Ebikes and they all work great. I did have a problem with one battery failing after a year but it was replaced under warranty. I also bought a used battery on Ebay for £100 which works great, there are some bargains out there.
-
YodaNuggets (@yodanuggets001) reported@catholicncomics Same issue. @EthanVanSciver, you should check your eBay messages and sort this out.
-
Billy (@LeveragedHonky) reported@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.
-
Corolla Jackson (@corollajackson) reported@SquirtleMobCapt The manon hoodie will sell out and be available on eBay for $2499. The yoonchae will also sell out and be available on eBay for 4 million won. Daniella’s will not sell out. Lara’s will be damaged in transit. A glitch will prevent Megan’s from being available.

Unbiased American 🇺🇸 Ŧ Ŧ (@UnBiased_Merica) reported@8thWonderCards Damn that’s a sweet collection. If you have any issues with sales of them hmu. I don’t have an eBay but would be heavily interested
-
biz (@biztimes10) reported@GLENNderson1 @SlabtownCollect Yeah the shipping to canada is the problem with ebay. No one changes it to the proper pwe cost.

salad fingers (@maddieflan) reportedsomething so beautiful about going down a ebay rabbit hole
-
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.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@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.
-
jefe (@eljefe5411) reported@Royals_Cards I think eBay needs to change NM from “comparable to pack fresh” to something else. Terrible term to use, when many cards come out of the pack with a dent, ding, or scratch
-
Thirsty’s New and Used (@SudduthPhillip) reported@SamuelMunroe @ClassicComics3 I’ve only seen them in the wild a couple of times. Mostly I hit antique shops for this stuff. Maybe I’ll do EBay when I get down to where I only need a couple to complete. If I see them the Hitchcock Investigators I’ll definitely grab them.
-
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.

jake scrivens (@JakeMUFCSceptic) reportedEbay is down.
