  @theonlydsmith @GotdemCards I currently post almost everything on eBay, but if you see something and your rather buy in CollX, I can move from one to the other. I’ve had trouble keeping track when listed on both and accidentally sold the same card twice.

  @emilkyun I’ve always assumed it’s import fees or something but I’ve gotten cheap aesop merch from china through eBay… so it’s probably a reseller issue. Scalpers gonna scalp

  @ToastyBrosTech There is some good stuff on eBay listed as parts or not working never seen anything as bad as this but tbh it could be a deal if the ram or cpu is intact

  @seyong Imagine if everyone on the planet tried to sell their beanie babies into the available eBay offers at the same time. Understandably, there isn’t enough money to fulfill all those offers. So the fastest to do it will get the full price offers, then the rest will get the 2nd and third rate offers, this can continue until there is no money left. Luckily the bigger the market, the less of a problem this is, you can sell thousand of pokemon cards on eBay and have no effect on the “price” because there are so many bids on eBay. But with something more niche or new like fine art or an up and coming collectible, one sale can change the whole market, for better or worse!

  Did you know PSA recently implemented a login wall for viewing pop reports so they could scrape your user data and sell it to marketing firms and use it internally to target ads to you? Look up the card on eBay and you can get the pop report there, for free, with no logins.

  @JacobsCards I've left eBay for multiple reasons but this seems like a real problem lately. Purchasing at peak pricing then realizing they overpaid is not the sellers fault. eBay is quick to authenticate over $250 but should handle all returns so they can see for themselves what was sent

  How do I issue a complaint? I ordered a book on @Ebay two weeks ago. I should have received it by now. I've contacted the seller and I'm STILL awaiting a response. Something has gone seriously wrong.

  I have serious trust issues and that’s exactly why I can’t send a random vendor money on instagram to purchase an item. If it’s not Amazon, EBay, AliExpress, SHEIN etc, I’m not sending my hard earned money to anyone.

  Ebay has been ordered to pay a $55.7m settlement to an American couple over a harassment campaign by company executives which included doxing, online threats and the delivery of live cockroaches to their home. The orchestrated campaign, which lasted for two months in the summer of 2019, was waged against husband and wife David and Ina Steiner by six eBay employees and one contractor. The couple were targeted after posting criticism of eBay’s corporate and policy changes on their newsletter and website EcommerceBytes, which is popular among eBay sellers, Wired reported. The campaign began with anonymous threats via Twitter DMs before ramping up to malicious deliveries to the Steiner family home. Items sent to the couple included pornography, a bloody pig mask, pests such as fly larvae, live spiders and cockroaches, a book about grieving a spouse and a funeral wreath. Ebay employees had the Steiners trailed in a rented van and posted fake classified ads on Craigslist advertising a ******* party, a ********* and a yard sale with their home address. After the police were contacted, the harassment campaign tailed off as those involved sought to conceal their actions. Former eBay CEO Devin Wenig told Wired via a representative that he was “saddened” by the harassment. He has continually asserted that he had no knowledge of the specific actions taken by the group who carried out the campaign. Wenig is alleged to have given former eBay chief communications officer Steve Wymer the order to “take her down,” in reference to Ina Steiner. However, his lawyers claim he was referring to a communications plan and not any criminal behaviour, a claim supported by court documents according to Wired. Six former eBay staff and a contractor were charged with taking part in the campaign in 2020. The Steiners followed with a civil suit the following year. The case has now reached a final settlement which will award the Steiners more than $46.15m from eBay, $2m from former CEO Devin Wenig, $500,000 from former executive Wendy Jones, and $50,000 from former executive Steve Wymer. David Steiner told Wired: “We were really adamant that this type of behaviour by a Fortune 500 corporation didn’t go unchecked.” In a published statement, eBay said that what the Steiners were subjected to was “wrong, reprehensible and should never have happened,” and that the company had strengthened its policies, controls and training since the incident.

  @ToriatheistTori This is completely wrong. You may want to take it down if you care about truth. 1. Musk is unaffiliated with ebay, so not sure why it's there. 2. Musk did found SpaceX, which is why it's not in the list. 3. Musk joined Tesla very early before any product or financing (it was basically a piece of paper) and bank rolled it. 4. Musk bet his entire fortune on Tesla and SpaceX which were both on edge of collapse in 2008.

  @darrenrovell @ebay hasn’t addressed the rural zip code issue—ideally I can offer one rate to everyone but up charge when USPS up charges me as a package going even a short distance to rural area is about $2 more than shipping it across the country to an urban area

  @eBay @depop Unfair Case Resolution / Potential Delivery Issues 24-14901-43188 ​I purchased an item on eBay that shows as "delivered" on the carrier tracking,but I never received it. I opened a claim and appealed the decision, but my case was closed automatically without a real investigation

  Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported 40 minutes ago

  @HoneybadgerNo1 @eBay @depop Just for clarity, this item didn't actually go through an eBay authentication facility before delivery to you, right? I don't see the Authenticity Guarantee symbol & it's below the price threshold. It looks to me like it was just a regular listing, which eBay did not initially flag, allowing you to purchase it - then when you relisted the same item, eBay's AI systems flagged it as counterfeit & took it down. That wouldn't have anything to do with eBay Authentication, but it definitely does still show that eBay's AI sucks.

  Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported 41 minutes ago

  @SicilianMonk Generally speaking, I don't think the *idea* of acquiring Depop is bad - it's a good brand & is popular with a younger demographic that eBay has been unsuccessful at engaging. But also, I think the valuation on this deal is nuts & eBay way overpaid. As to where that leaves GameStop in a potential future combined entity? I don't know honestly. Managed well it could be a good addition & I don't think there would be anyone looking to buy it from eBay for anywhere near what was just paid for it at this point. So it will likely come down to which is the less bad option - keep it & try to accelerate growth to make an overpriced deal pay off faster or try to dump it at a loss. We'll see what happens.

  @thevaguequeen I've gone back and forth three times with the same seller on the "buy it now" function on Ebay, neither one of us is backing down. That bundle of two is still out there to be had, just have to find a middle ground.

  @girdley I found the one I wanted on eBay. Took the spec sheet and sent it to three dealers on eBay that were close to the person listing and had all 4 quote me. Took the lowest quote to local dealer and said I will pay transfer fee and shipping. Here is 20K down.

  The pricing errors on Phygitals marketplace has almost costed me thousands of dollars countless times. Take Van Gogh Pikachu PSA 10 for example > See people asking for a $3k loan against it > Take a look at pricing history and it shows $5k > Thinks it's way to good to be true > Takes a look at Ebay and last sales are barely touching $3k > Closes Phygitals and goes back to the offerbooks

  I was just thinking about this today. If you take a 5-10 year horizon, where would you want to put your money? - Vintage? I think it's risky. I'll go so far as to say even big names like Hank Aaron and Willie Mays will start to fade. - Definitely not ultra-modern. Don't chase the new "color blast" or whatever every year. Wouldn't touch Topps Dynasty, which seems to be popular. - GOAT market is at all time highs and feels frothy to me. ------------- For me the play is simple, buy cool cards! People want unique cards (no base, no random parallels, but also no "case hits"). I'm talking image variations, autos (on-card), the kind of cards where you pull up eBay and you can't find any available. -------------- Cash might be the play. Take a little risk off the table and be ready to come back when (IF) things calm down. Sealed wax is a play if you can keep it sealed and know how to sell it (not for me). I do think the 2005-2015ish era is a little undervalued. A lot of big cards in that era that are entering HOF eligibility.

  @coNora05 I actually collect coins myself AND inherited a massive collection. The advice my FIL gave me and made me promise to do before he died was to sell the coins in small sets or one at a time so I get the numismatic vaule. That really can only be done on ebay. I ONCE met a decent coin shop dealer when I was younger who gave me almost full vaule for some of my grandma's coins. But that's RARE. When I buy coins for myself, I go to ebay or coin shows/flea markets. I do pay above melt vaule myself, but under the top amount the coins or sets go for. I haven't sold anything on ebay in years, just bought coins, but I've been watching the markets. If you need cash fast your best bet would be to look up the coins first, grok is great for searching the recently sold ebay listings, and asking for under that. A **** shop wouldn't do that, but a decent coin dealer might. Honestly tho, sell if yourself on ebay. You'll get the most and if you price it right or do bidding you can sell it quickly. Prices are going up and down right now so I'm just buying at the moment but it's not a HORRIBLE time to sell either. They definitely take advantage of people who don't know coins. They do that with any collectible really. We inherited baseball cards (so freaking many) and I know nothing about that stuff. So I'm just holding it for now and plan on getting a few offers before I sell.

  Meg Whitman explains eBay's 70% monthly growth problem. "When I joined eBay... there were 30 employees." "The company was growing at 70% compound monthly growth rate." "February, the company was 70% bigger than it was in January." Her job was to find the driver and avoid smothering it. "How do you figure out what is driving that growth, and then do more of it?" "Then try to mature the company, but only at the right pace." "You don't want to put too much structure, too much procedures... in a very entrepreneurial company." They had about nine months to get ready for an IPO. I learned a version of this building digital products at Argo. Process earns its place when it helps the team see the real driver faster. If it only makes a young system look mature, it can bury the signal that created the growth. - Meg Whitman at Stanford eCorner
