    @pcgamer not a monopoly but ignores the real issue New digital video game sales are oligopoly controlled by companies who make games. The only real competition is in the console disc market, particularly the used disc market (Ebay, Gamestop, etc). Which is why they're phasing out discs

    It’s really simple to solve the watch party tkt issue @TheGarden has. All you have to do is make the tkts non-transferable, that way resellers have no incentive to buy them up and resell on craigslist, eBay & Eventbrite etc. I’ll take 6 tkts to game 3 for solving this for you

    @HankBobbyDale @JCSCollects I agree they can be annoying to look at, but my point was only that eBay has many more prominent issues to concern it self with first. This is simply a minor annoyance, no?

    @eBay Customer service bot suspended my account. No reason given in the email. Bot doesn’t provide assistance either. Can’t login to see or fix any issues. Please advise. don't bother with telling us to use the "Chat with Us" link on the site. It's not helpful

    @blackcatscards It’s not a public marketplace if two people are discussing price negotiation Really the card show/stack sale convention would be to extend it to the person negotiating with them having right of first refusal It isn’t crystalline, because the tech sucks (FL and WN definitely, I think eBay live too) to where payment can still be processed. Best thing you can do is arbitrate as if tech weren’t an issue, and that’d be to extend to intended buyer first

    @silvia6702 @eBay @AskeBay This is terrible. Luckily, after talking to someone on here I was able to get my issue resolved but we shouldn’t have to go on social media to get their attention

    @40kWorldview I can’t justify the money personally even though I COULD afford it. Priorities. What I do it hunt on eBay for good deals (any) and resell them (fix if needed) and use that money to buy ones I actually want. I’ve accumulated a decent collection for probably close to 0$

    @ForeverPhysical @VideoGamesPlus_ Thanks for the tip I have been contemplating about getting this one for awhile now you just sold me on it. Although I tried to use your link for video games plus in. It looks like they already took it down. So I went straight to ebay, got a copy for thirty bucks

    something important like the notifications tab is not something that needs to be two clicks down. it was perfectly fine being one click down. ebay live is something that needs to be ten clicks down because when am I ever going to use it

    The problem is "ooh it's on for £50 on eBay..." Yes to a national audience and that may not be the price it actually sells at. Plus eBay sellers have fees and maybe vat.

    @unclejesse21 @EnvestaApp what i meant was its going down until ebay deal is about to be signed. you cant expect anythign short term until then

    @KatoKLynn @FAYMAYent We also don't use line here. I chatted with the FayMay Entertainment line account and told them about the issues and they want to take care of it. It would be easier if they just sell it on Ebay or Amazon for international Fans. I don't know why Thailand don't use those options

    @poop_booger I don’t use the eBay envelopes. I ship with my own bubble mailers or if it’s an expensive card I use one of PSA’s boxes. I’ve read about a lot of problems with the eBay envelopes.

    Both things can be true. Ryan Cohen’s analysis may be accurate but GameStop’s bid for EBAY isn’t credible. $GME doesn’t have the financing locked down. It’s still double counting its cash and EBAY holders have no idea how much stock they’ll actually receive.

    @Nicoleeberardii @eBay Go on the live chat and keep telling it you want them to call you. It will ask you a few annoying questions but if you keep going it will ask you if you want ebay to call you in 2 minutes. Ive never had any issues getting ebay on the phone.

    $GME just blew past Q1 earnings by 172% and Ryan Cohen is waging a takeover bid for eBay. The community is buzzing that the short squeeze is imminent. Sales jumped 14% to $835.3 million, with collectibles soaring 65%. Ryan Cohen's bold $56 billion offer to buy eBay, while rejected, puts GME on the map for strategic moves. A new $2 billion buyback is also on the table. There's a 32% chance the stock climbs from here, driven by 14.1% short interest and the narrative momentum from Cohen's actions. If buyers step in to bet against the shorts and the collectibles trend continues, prices could get a lift. However, the stock sits below its longer-term average price, a sign that the overall trend is still pointing down. With eBay already saying no to Cohen's offer, and fundamental doubts still present for a retailer, there's a 34% chance the stock could fall further if enthusiasm fades. Keep an eye on any further moves by Ryan Cohen or the collectibles segment's performance in the next report.

    @eBay Can you please explain why users can no longer send any messages over the app ? It only works on a browser or laptop/pc.. and it is a widespread problem because I'm finding a lot of people with this issue online . Started 3 days ago.. what are you doing to fix it right now?

    @eBay The AI isn’t doing its job for your company, just like it’s not working with all others. All it does is fail to find any issues when’s human could easily see the issue. Example: Seller is claiming a 1/1 card is X when it’s really a Y. I report it, and AI finds no issues.

    @WestCoast_Goodz Man, “summer slow down,” “q1 slow down,” “dying platform.” I’ve had to deal with people telling me their eBay sales are dying every season, every month, every year, since I started but my sales have kept going up. It’s definitely the platform, not their fault.

    Deeply disappointed in @eBay and @PayPal for their handling of an issue with a Seller on eBay. Allowing the sale of fraudulent products and expecting buyer (me) to return the knock-off product to China at my expense - when the SELLER used photos of licensed product.

  • theericjacobus
    Eric Jacobus (@theericjacobus) reported

    I've always been a huge Ace Combat fan. Namco seemed to nail the feel of jet combat in a way they didn't accomplish in their racers. It's interesting to see Sega's After Burner, a Yu Suzuki project, take a backseat to Ace Combat. What's even more interesting is that these are entirely Japanese projects. In North America, Novalogic and Microprose and Ubisoft all tried; the only ones that really seem to persist are DCS and Microsoft Flight Sim, but the fact that a Japanese company has maintained a successful fighter jet franchise for three decades in the West is crazy to me. Nellis is down the street from me and I've always wondered how they keep their machines up to date with flight sim software. A video of the Boeing F-15EX simulator seemed graphically inferior to something you could get for $1k off eBay, but probably cost the US military millions. Naturally, to get your hardware and software approved for the US military requires far more security clearance. Which begs the question: can any military really have the latest and greatest flight sim hardware and software? Of course actual flight experience will be the real determining factor for success, but what incentives go into flight sim software like Lockheed's P3D? Microsoft Flight Sim? What about in Japan for the JASDF? Surely they all have their eyes on that military contract money, so I would assume they would want to keep consumer flight sim software somewhere on the same level of the latest release granted access within the military, which would be, what, 2-3 years antequated by now? And how closely are these American companies watching what Bandai Namco does with its flight sim software? How many cues can they really take from it? If the gameplay is more arcade-y, certainly they're inspired by the visuals, which if put into a military simulator would be a huge boost to training. I'm totally speculating, though. Maybe the military gets updated flight sim software and hardware every week, but I doubt it. If we have to jump through months of red tape at gaming companies just to update our NAS system, I can't imagine what Boeing, Lockheed, and Microsoft have to go through. And I bet Japan, with its cozier relationship between government and corporations, has a faster pipeline from flight sim company to military. It's hard to imagine the USAF is willing to let Japan make a better looking (and better playing) flight sim, but is that what's happening? Anyone know this world?

    @AmazonHelp For the last few weeks I have nothing but trouble with your website. It does not come up normally. I have to try 5 or six times for it to come up so it is readable. I wanted to order that new hose but could not open the site. I bought it on EBAY instead.
