🌸 Soph 🌸 C4pitano Waiting Room 🥺 (@RubeuhmScutuhm) reported@as060721 And then you go to read the manga only to realize the series went out of print years ago so now you desperately chase down the few ebay users who sell their volumes only to have your account suspended for no reason because ebay sucks. Totally didn’t happen to me. At all.

Greg Hughes (@Huey1972) reported@Pub_Goer @eBay_UK @eBay Had the same problem. Log out of app. Clear app cache and storage in phone settings. Then delete app, reinstall app and log in again. Total faff .

Spongebob (@triangularpants) reported@Joferjeff 10+ years ago I sold an iPhone 1st gen on eBay. The buyer gutted the device, put broken parts back in & returned it eBay sided with the buyer Haven’t used eBay since
-
boston raiders (@bostonvikinguc) reported@Joferjeff @ryancohen can fix this if gme can take it over. I’ve had terrible luck with eBay.
-
Squirtle Sage (@Squirtle_Sage) reported@CHARIcollector Gotta lock in on eBay listings. I’ve had an issue with carddealer pro that’s put listing in hold for the last month 😒
-
Eric Badgley (@_EricBadgley) reported@greenstoslopes I had a guy this week buy a card, screen shot my listing and proceeded to (poorly) edit it to show a scratch in the corner requesting a cancellation.. He back tracked IMMEDIATELY as soon as I sent more pictures of his his terrible edit job, and he just said “my bad” 🙃 eBay sucks
-
The Greatest Escape (@HalifaxJB869) reported@russellcrowe 100% spot on. RC set his boundaries, signed for people and all was good. A lot of people refuse to sign stuff these days as it just goes straight on ebay, fair play to Russell for still signing merchandise frankly. Like he says 'what's the problem' ?
-
metnecro (@MetaphysNecro) reported@barbarismcrit they are pretty easy to fix. i put some tmr sticks and an extremerate shell on a smashed one i got for 10 bucks on ebay. hardest part was soldering a new usbc port because the previous owner had ripped a pad when they smashed it

Andros (@0xAndros) reportedWhat a lot of people didn't know is that @samparr started 15+ businesses before selling @TheHustle for $40M. Here's how he ranks the best business models in the new AI world: S : Marketplaces "Probably the hardest to start, but the most durable." He points to Craigslist and eBay : once you get density (buyers + sellers in the same place), it's nearly impossible for a competitor to unseat you. The moat is the network effect itself. Hardest cold-start problem, but the payoff is a business that lasts decades. A : Agencies / Service Businesses "You have to deal with a lot of people issues, but they're great to start." His point is that agencies aren't the end goal :they're the learning machine. You service clients, learn their pain points intimately, and then use that intel to build products (software, courses, tools). The pivot optionality is the real value. AI systems also makes it much easier to scale agencies/services now A : Software "Anything that's really hard to get into will last probably a bit longer than another business." Public markets are discounting software right now because of AI, but his argument is that for most people there's still difficulty of entry, which equals durability. If it's hard to build, it's hard to kill. B : Events (B2B) "A lot of people are going to disagree with this." He specifically calls out B2B trade shows, less so consumer events (though Coachella made $200M+ in revenue just in 2026) There are event businesses doing hundreds of millions in revenue, very profitably. The key is B2B: you're selling access to a concentrated buyer audience, not $30 tickets. B : Media He owned The Hustle, so this is personal. "If you raise venture capital, it's going to be an F : the worst business you can have." But if you own the whole thing and run it long-term, great business. The split is ownership structure, not the model itself. VC expectations destroy media companies; bootstrap economics make them work. C : Info / Course Business He owns "copy that dot com"). "They can be great cash flow, but they're never going to be worth a lot and they're not going to scale to be very big." The ceiling is the problem. You'll make money, you just won't build generational wealth from it. C : Community He owns @HamptonFounders . "People are pain in the butt, but it's very fulfilling and it can last for 50 or 100 years." The tradeoff: constant member churn vs. extreme longevity if you keep delivering value. D : Middleman / Broker His dad owns a brokerage. "It's been an amazing living for him, but generally those are pretty hard because the margins are so small." The video about his dad's business went super viral, but the reality is razor-thin margins make it a grind. Works for one person's lifestyle, hard to scale. E/F : E-commerce "In most cases, I think that's probably the worst business model." No cash flow, tons of competition. This is the default trap most first-time entrepreneurs fall into. The through-line: durability and defensibility matter more than margins. The S and A tiers are all businesses with structural moats (network effects, switching costs, expertise). The D and F tiers are commodity businesses where you're always one competitor away from irrelevance.

Tevako the Ape (@Jeffsusan1012) reported@bostong41476161 @sneedweb Ebay worth 50B. GME guy has 45.5 shares. Ebay guy has 8.7 shares. Both have 440 mill shares outstanding. Cool? RC issues 1.2B shares. At 22 that's the 26 billion needed for the half stock side of the equation. Right? That's the dilution everyone is afraid of.

Judge Roy Bean (@OG_OnePiece) reported@Tsukento @gamestop Ok??? Fact remains you didn't read the fine print and no reason you should be bitching about it. Like I said if you really cared about what your getting should of choose ebay like I suggested or amazon if you know how to scroll down and read the fine print
-
Aaron Palmer (@aaronpalmer) reported@LangmanVince I beg to differ. He was direct and solved a potential problem before it could become a problem. Took control, signed everyone’s stuff (and let’s be real — he’s not signing for orphans— these are all adults trying to make money on eBay). I watched the entire thing, props to him.

TALKSWITHJAE (@eccentricsole) reportedRemember when sneaker culture was about hunting down rare pairs at local thrift shops or eBay instead of just paying 4x retail on an app? Good times.
-
TheCollector (@collector075) reported@Spider_Criminal That take a percentage of the taxes that the buyer paid too. Hwo does that make sense . SMH . eBay is a crook & there’s no alternative unfortunately . SMH . IG used to be great for selling but Facebook shut that down .
-
Mr. Weather ⚡️🏴☠️ (@MrWeatherTrader) reported@Joferjeff I know someone who will fix these eBay issues soon @ryancohen
-
Jack Dillard (@Kraven1776) reported@ValueAddedRS @PhantomBlack699 Ryan wants the naked short selling criminals to double down, leverage up, plant their feet. Then while they thought they won and stopped GameStop Ryan, he comes from left field with Teddy, and eBay is not involved. Shorts scramble but are levered up and unable to move.
-
Trevor Fraley (@illustrevor) reportedVery frustrating that I only need a new cable for my cintiq but they don't make it anymore and on ebay its $120 but i could just get a whole used cintiq for $150 and I'm not even sure if it IS the cable that is the problem.
-
ronanonymous * (goose) (@sirronhale) reported@KSOCards @CardPurchaser The listing says excellent not near mint. Excellent means it has damage or normal wear. Read the condition description from EBay. Kinda in the wrong to leave bad review because you didn’t read the description. It’s not on sellers to fix an item that is sold as listed.
-
comet1224 (@comet1224_) reported@pxisonedyxuth @Josyly The sellers on Bunjang are dishonest and rip you off. Try Ebay or some other platform even if you have to pay more. Bunjang is so terrible.
-
Jack “Slim” Prescott (@SlimJackPrescot) reported@PaulyOdonnie eBay Scotty or Bettinardi. You can't go wrong with those. Worst case you cut the shaft down or just get it reshafted and have the lie angle adjusted should you need that. All in probably paying around 300 bucks for a great milled putte.r

fez (@doll_pants) reported@Timechickz Me reading this like oh is her resale value down to 300 and then checking eBay .... 💀

Todd Eldredge ⛸️ (@toddeldredge) reported@garyvee @gasfairy_eth @veefriends Is anyone else still having issues with rarible not pairing their Veefriends wallet with their account. I haven’t been able to buy any VF NFTs for a while. I also tried OpenSea and that also told me it couldn’t pair my account. I’ve also put up several things on eBay to start saving up for more comics and the 2026 Chrome release! #Topps #toppschrome

DK going to BK (@rkansas) reported@staypredictable How much has Ebay lost when potential high dollar sales. Are not finalized over trust issues? An interesting aspect 4 traders of collectibles may b. Can some taxes be avoided if physical possession never changed? Similar to mortgages sold as securities changing owner of mortgage?

Ben Pearl (@benpearlgolf) reportedFound some brand new tour issue heads from a 2018 model driver and FW wood on eBay for silly good pricing 👀 Tempted to order and build to test 8 year old tech vs brand new tech 🤔
-

-
TP Anderson (@T_P_Anderson) reported@Form_45 They must have stolen the utensils to sell on eBay because Indians don't know how to use utensils. Just like with that other demographic that never builds or creates, Indians will steal anything that isn't nailed down, without any shame at all.
-
chelloo (@MichelGruen) reported@OwenKemeys Looks terrible with the eBay net grille
-
Stay Predictable (@staypredictable) reported@Koalalogic741 @ryancohen But also, maybe with all this new info, a revised offer should be made due to all these eBay issues
-
Nuts! (@WestMichAnon) reported@spikesguides @disencabula42 Go eBay, buy an old pair of decent leather boots. Bring to your local cobbler and have them fix them the way you like them. Cobblers are making a come back.

Hugo Simões (@HugoRASimoes) reported@eBay Will ebay ever fix the language on its site? Horrible brazillianese shows up when I explicitly tell the site that I want the site in English. There are many people complaining as well...
