-
Alex Callara (@Alex_Callara) reported@pray4goodpulls So is it actually worth it to send a card from eBay directly to PSA? Legitimately asking because I’ve seen it on many cards I’ve bought and have felt like some could’ve been a 10 but didn’t want to spend the extra money and get let down lmao
-
Chris (Christina) (@GalanthusA) reported@just_cameroon @GardensHour I always had that problem (rarely could visit GCs - went mad when I did). Now I buy from nurseries on line (Ebay) and consider each purchase & usually plant on arrival then buy something else. Also search for what I want rather than impulse buy.

Ronald Robson (@RRobson90195) reportedI was scammed on your site buying memory out of 269 dollars. The person used a false tracking number sent to someone else's address and name according to UPS. I contacted eBay and they told me it shows delivered so they said I got it. I feel let down.

Bailey Invests (@baileyinvests) reportedI don’t have everything figured out. I’m just: – earning what I can💰 – investing what I can📈 – trying to stay consistent🙏 EBay/Vinted reselling is a bit slow this month but we’ll get there💪 That’s it.
-
Gary Rooksby (@GaryRooksby) reported@FutureAZA @HBud69 I've had one for a couple of years from eBay (made in China). I recently found that if I press it down on its suspension the headlights flash and it makes a "vroom vroom screech" petrol driving noise. Ouch! I now know not to do that!
-
Paul (@dnbinvestor) reported@IndexAndForget Paid £6k for my Submariner back in 2020. I could’ve sold it on ebay the next day for £10k. That’s why there are 2 year waiting lists for them. They have come down a bit in value recently though but long term you’ll never lose money on one plus it’s a nice item to pass down in the future with memories attached to it.

Mewlyn (@MewlynMewlyn) reported@cupcakecrypt On eBay, I don’t know any irl stores that would have any issues from before last year. But I also live in the poor part of America that doesn’t have any good stores
-
Senator Tim Whatley (no anti-dentites, please) (@senator_tim) reported@Heminator Hell, I remember when they got copies of certain Dr. Suess books yanked from *Ebay*. It's not the right that has a censorship problem, not by a long shot.

FearNoDiesel 🇺🇸 (@AKdieselman) reported@washghost1 I have a 95 Bronco I am restoring. I have really been thinking of throwing down and buying one of these head units from eBay.

cass 💖🇮🇱 (@sassycassyL) reported@ivorsawbottom my daughter does, only had one issue with a buyer being dodgy, I never have, I use ebay

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@RDKLInc @southscanner @eBay I did a sell similar on that listing to see what the seller had entered - 9 lbs, 20 x 20 x 12. If you plug that into the USPS retail postage calculator using the zip code for seller location & buyer zip in your screenshot, it does come out to $74.27 for the click & ship rate. So that means the eBay calculator is working correctly for the info provided. USPS has made some recent changes that cause the rates to go up pretty significantly depending on dimensions - for example that same 9 lbs in a 12 x 12 x 12 would only be $14.92. I'm guessing some of the sellers you're seeing with high prices may have historically padded their dimensions a bit in effort to avoid shipping adjustments after the fact & they may not realize it is affecting their pricing much more now than it may have in the past. There could certainly be other instances where the issue is an error on eBay's part but when it comes to something like this example, really the only thing eBay could do to address it is to maybe have a warning advising sellers to review their listings for correct weight & dimensions - or to consider adding other shipping methods, like the flat rate options you mentioned. Ultimately though it's up to the seller to make sure they are entering correct info & to decide which shipping options they want to offer.

Bob (@8NH1137) reportedQuite torn on what to do now. 🤔 There is a newer lens in my area that's 150-450mm, but also double my original budget for a lens. Do I just suck it up and take the hit money wise or keep gambling on finding a good lens on ebay? I'd be so sad if I got another broken one..

Eugene Zaikonnikov🌻 (@varjag) reported@ebay please fix your VOEC handling to Norway, it's getting tiring

rick (@rick00357876097) reported@gt3gi0 Ye they look well I'm so impressed with photos from today I've took my eBay listing down I can't sell this right ?

The GI Joe Repair Shop (@GIJoeRepairShop) reported@MichaelOrtiz79 @eBay Nothing wrong with that. My Rattler has a broken landing gear that I had to glue in the down position.

🌐Coach| Consultant|Graphics Design|🌐 (@IKnowSheTwitent) reportedI let them know PayPal has been doing this causing problems and the eBay stores they were tied to all these damages and all the damages Phil Donahue's nasty narcissistic son John Donahue had done he's now at Nike I let it be known I will sue everyone involved with Graham abuses

Angry Toothpick Jerky (@angrytoothpick) reportedI’ve sold 503 cards on eBay. I have 99.7% positive feedback. The one person who left me back feedback felt unfair. He ordered a $3 card with envelope shipping. I sent it in a Turtle Shell and it weighed half of 3oz at best. Apparently the post office held it ransom and charged him $7 to pick it up. I’ve never seen or heard of that as a seller… never. However, I would have paid for it and refunded the price card in a heartbeat. The buyer is always right and I’m happy to make it right, but the buyer never once messaged me. Never told me they were having an issue and never relayed any info until I saw the negative feedback. Tough out here sometimes 😕
-
AureusDeusX (@AureusDeusX) reported@cryptomattk Well, the promoted listing fee was optional, and the sales tax you don't get. The eBay fee is expected, so I don't see the problem. They need to stop showing the number including the sales tax, because it does make it look like they're taking it away.
-
stevenniels (@stevenniels1) reported@theseoldcars They get water in them and the wires rot out. Cheapest fix is a complete new unit off Ebay. Fiddly to fit.

Sixo | Transformers (@SixoTF) reported@arentalis It's a harder one to track down now, for sure — it does pop up but on ebay it's just silly prices
-
The_Elixir_of_Freedom (@ElixirofFreedom) reportedI've abandoned my Fakebook account. I deleted my original FB account in 2020 when censorship was slamming down. I went back in 2022 for my eBay stuff but ended up in an endless loop so in Dec of 2024 I abandoned it. I need to get on there and completely delete it.
-
CB (@ChalupaBatmaan) reported@KariDaniels His line has been so underwhelming and that’s coming from someone that likes wearing hoop shoes off the court. The issue 6 isn’t bad, I actually have a couple of colorways from that shoe I might grab off eBay but the line needs some creativity.
-
zerohimself (@zerohimself) reported@pr4m0d Well, thank you very much & I appreciate it. Unfortunately, eBay is unmoved and still paying out on the 29th, so meh. Although please if you can, pls post an update once you have confirmed the console is in good working order upon arrival! Let me know if you have any issues.
-
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

HowlingBunghole (@HowlingBunghole) reportedThanks a lot, jerk hole! I went looking for this book on eBay and I fell down a rabbit hole where I spent over $50 bucks on Mack Bolan novels.

Brimstone (@Brimstone1117) reported@QueenKaylaleesi I have been trying to track down Ultraforce books for a couple years, my comic shop never gets any in with the collections they buy. I am at the point Ebay prices are looking reasonable.
