LenSatic (@CasitaSD17) reported@laralogan Goodwill was established to train unemployed or undereducated men to repair items for resale. Now they don't accept broken items that need repair. And they have learned that they can make more money reselling stuff on eBay than in stores.

A.P.O.C (@AOchiawuto) reported@AirtelNigeria @lydiacreatesng Airtel Nigeria, why is your service so poor? I’ve tried registering on eBay, but the verification code never arrives on my Airtel line. Yet, the same code comes through immediately on MTN. What’s wrong with Airtel? Is Nigeria cursed? Please fix your SMS service!

Cori (DemShenaniganss) 🦝 | #TDST ⚡️ (@DemShenanigans) reported@Artemishowl_ Former SH staff circa early days (2010s) here: Can confirm, ebay kept the **** parts and got rid of the people like us who made sure that the same or better upgrades were offered. Afaik even shut down the main corporate office thay used to be in CT

Terence Smith (@SocialistTerry) reportedSo I made a complaint, got auto response saying no regulations broken. Appealed, response 12 hours later saying same 😯😳 @eBay_UK @eBay Why do you allow sellers to defraud buyers by letting them cancel the order, change the price, ask them to reorder, & hope they won't notice?

Allyson 🪷 Bento (@NoSurrender_87) reported@Jtsbae69 I started using eBay in college & stick with that since I’ve built reviews. Starting fresh, I’d go down a Reddit rabbit hole, there are so many damn options now. See what sounds best. Make sure whatever you go with has seller protections!

Eric (@GhostRunnerCard) reported@CCCollectorTCG I ship via eBay to third-party shipping companies almost daily. I've never had any concerns or issues with them. All the orders work out fine.
-
PokéCardsDaily (@PokeCardsDaily) reported@Oscvr9_ Hello! Best way to price sealed is to refer to eBay last solds for sealed - do not count any unsealed. Often I find issue with sold items under “best offer” and the listed price being the sold price. For this reason I always use 130point to get most accurate prices w/ offers.

Yianni (@fishytuxedo) reported@WristByAde I wonder about authenticity when I buy watches off eBay. I don’t spend much and I can’t imagine the oddballs I do buy are worth the trouble to counterfeit. I think the big issues I have are with “Frankenwatches” so watches that are put together with non-original parts

Genius Business (@GeniusBusiness_) reportedPayPal's real product in its early years wasn't payments. It was survival. The company was building something that regulators, banks and its own biggest platform had no category for. Stefan Heck: "It was a true disruption of a very established, very regulated industry, right? Payments, banking… and they were doing things that didn't fit an existing category." Not fitting a category meant almost everyone with power over PayPal had a reason to switch it off. Reid Hoffman, who became Peter Thiel's firefighter chief, describes the job he was handed: "Make sure eBay doesn't drive us off the service. Make sure Visa doesn't shut us down. Persuade the federal government that it's okay that we're not a bank." Nancy Lublin on the person they sent to handle it: "He was the wolf. I mean, he was the fixer." John Lilly remembers how routine the existential threats became: "I remember we had breakfast one time. He said, 'I have to leave at 8:30 because I got to get on the plane to New York to go talk to Eliot Spitzer, the attorney general of New York, who's suing PayPal for basically anti-money laundering type things.' And he's like, 'I just got to go fix this and here's how I'm going to fix it because New York was convinced that PayPal is being used for gambling, all sorts of other things at the time.'" There was no playbook, because the category didn't exist yet. So the company argued from first principles: "It was fun because part of what ends up happening is you say, 'All right, well, what's a bank? Like, what defines a bank? How do I persuade them? I've never talked to a regulator before. All right, let me go figure out how this looks.'" While all this was happening, PayPal was outgrowing its own ability to operate. June Cohen: "Their customer numbers had grown so exponentially that they could not keep up with customer service and they actually just made the decision that that was a fire they weren't going to fight at that moment." That was a decision, not a failure. The company sorted its problems by one test: "There was a whole set of fires at PayPal where if you didn't solve them, value of the company zero, out of business." John Lilly on how that worked in practice: "Here's the one, two, three top priorities. Everything else I'm not going to worry about right now because if I get these three things right, everything else will be okay." The fire that passed the test was eBay: "If eBay had turned us off, if we were no longer to operate on eBay, no initial users, no traction, no network effect, no ability to grow." And eBay had every incentive to do exactly that. John Lilly: "eBay had its own payment system that was competing with PayPal. PayPal was winning. And so I think those got very complicated and eBay very much didn't want to have to buy PayPal and eventually they felt like they had to." That's the ending. PayPal survived on someone else's platform long enough to become the thing that platform had no choice but to acquire. A reporter at the time: "We know these guys very well obviously because so much of their business is in fact on eBay. The synergies of putting these two companies together were incredibly outstanding and it just seemed like the right time to get this deal done." PayPal didn't win by solving its problems. It won by correctly ranking them and letting the rest burn.

☆ (@LucilleFilm) reported@drivenbyfilms ppl are saying the screener was for an already released film but even then, this could still get him in trouble. there's a reason why ebay listings don't go up until months after release and awards szn.

RD's caRD's (@rdaex1) reportedExplain the issues for us to see if you're trustworthy or not. It's a 10$ card man you're not giving the winner a Tesla. If you don't have the card in hand, just Buy it on eBay and just send it to him... If you won't do something this simple, please stop trying to infiltrate your way into this space.

Adam Taylor (@adamtaylorl) reportedMe at 20: - £50K/year at Jaguar Land Rover - Acting team leader, dream job by every measure - Watching agency videos in the car park on my lunch break Me at 24: - $100M+ generated on Meta - Scaled a brand in LA from $90K to $2.1M/mo in 7 months - 40+ team members, run from Dubai My first money online was flipping scooter parts on eBay at 13. I opened my own bank account for it. Nobody told me to. I just wanted a bike and needed to make £200 to afford it. Fast forward. Late 2022 I bought an Iman Gadzhi agency course and landed a client in 2 months. They paid £900/month. I was going to say £1,000 and bottled it at the last second. Then 7 months passed and I made £80. In total. I didn't tell my friends what I was doing. I barely even told my family. There was nothing to show anyone, so I just went quiet and kept going. I handed in my notice at JLR in July 2024. Everyone at the factory thought I'd lost it – to them I was walking out of a job people wait 20 years for. So I flew to Bali alone in early 2025. I knew nobody there. I wasn't a huge fan of Bali. Then I moved to Thailand 30 days later. Hit $50K/mo whilst there. Then $100K. Now I'm living in Dubai and the business does more in a month than JLR paid me in four years. The crazy part is I wasn't good at this. I was terrible for a long time. I just kept putting in long hours and watching what happened until some of it started working. And I'm still doing that. The same method, just with bigger numbers. If a 13-year-old selling scooter parts to fund a bike can turn it into this, you're fine. Win each day. That's the whole thing.
