Mike DeGilio (@MikeDeGilio) reportedFollowing up on this. Despite @eBay refusing to do anything for the infinite people affected by this, you can and should go through paypal or file a chargeback with your credit card. Ebay said it's impossible to return it and refused any reasonable refund. Paypal/CC will force them to accept the return for a full refund if you provide photo evidence of receiving what you purchased damaged. Forcefully, get your money back from this trash company. Also, the return address is @PSAcard. Absolutely embarrassing that a company that specializes in the card market for 30+ years lacks even a basic understanding of how to ship a card so it doesn't get mangled. 6+ months ago they acknowledged this is an issue and would be changing packaging and still nothing has been done. Criminal levels of negligence and zero accountability unless they're forced. Change will come when we stop allowing them to say "I understand we damaged the card but I still think it'll get a PSA7, so it's exactly what you ordered" and force full refunds on every single bit of value lost due to their incompetence.

A guy down under (@Fremean) reported@WellitHappened1 Hehe I once bought a $500 dryer that was broken for $50 cos it needed a new wax lock that I could get for $4 on eBay... I gave that dryer away 8 years later when I got a washer dryer combo (moved into a place with less space)

Robert Morris (@dalsubfan) reported@DNP_Anon @CardPurchaser @BosCardHunter If ebay determines something is fishy based on bid pattern OR buyer has issues, ebay can void an auction.
-
James (@JamesEsq85) reported@VinceBednarik Seller: “thanks for the interest in this cheap *** card. If it’s not up to par, just return it. You: “WAAAHHHHH” Move on you clown. Wish you’d like you would post your eBay name and save us the trouble lmao.

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
-
Absolutely Regarded (@AbsoluteRegard) reported@Joferjeff I had a Patek watch strap with a certificate of authenticity. Someone bought the strap- stole the certificate, damaged the strap and returned it. Ebay sided with them and didn't even give me the slightest bit of help to resolve the issue. I even had a packing video showing all items and condition before sending it out. Ebay ******* sucks. @ryancohen

Karter (@karter_web3) reported@beincrypto ebay wasting billions on login failures
-
H. S (@kingofpirat3s) reported@BatmanHypeGuy @ComicKing007 I have no clue what the full story is, cuz if you never got them item, how do you not get a refund? Not sure what convo went down w Ebay but you have buyers protection and when a order is delivered it usually has photo proof. And again the artist cant help you with that.
-
SportsCardAlerts (@SportCardAlerts) reportedHoliday Monday data: eBay activity down 40-50% on major holidays vs regular Mondays. Sellers still list. Buyers aren't browsing. Result: Cards sitting longer, prices softer. If you're selling, skip holiday weekends. If you're buying, hunt holiday listings. Pattern > gut feeling.

j🍀 • boycott 143ent (@ivelvetzy) reported@caramiaus unrelated to the god-tier singing in the video but this has inspiring me to go hunt down something animal print on ebay
-
comet1224 (@comet1224_) reported@pxisonedyxuth Ebay buyers can leave 1-star reviews for sellers like I mentioned. On Bunjang, I can't leave reviews for these transactions with disputes. So even the biggest scammers on Bunjang have 5-star ratings, or 4.8 at worst. These same sellers would get shut down on Ebay within a week.
-
Niall (@Niall_Ky) reported@HackForumsNet @Mericamemed Nah. You can get a lot of great workstation and server stuff off ebay for decent prices. Let's say I hypothetically have 8 sticks of 32G RDIMM sitting around. There's well priced HP and Lenovo workstations with 8x slots on ebay for days.
-
DarkHollow (@DarkHollowArt) reportedMy drawing tablet is out for repair but the guy is making me very nervous. Last time I talked to him on the phone he was poking around the inside and trying to get me to buy another off ebay to swap parts around instead of doing the *known* permanent repair to my issue that I am asking to be done..
-
Boone Dog (@Boonedog92) reported@LauraQueFala @mikasagrada Look on ebay, I just bought one for my son. It has no bluetooth or internet. Other than what you upload to it, the only other thing it can access is the radio. Instead of having his head down in the car with a nintendo, he listens to music and looks out the window.
-
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.
-
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 .
-
Old School Raw (@OldSchoolRaw) reported@86TJT @VintageJakksBCA I had the WrestleMania one first and then got the Raw and Royal Rumble ones for Christmas 98. I spent a solid 2 months counting down the days that I could finally open it. Recently repurchased it mint from eBay
-
Isaac Clark (@bruhr3aly) reported@Seok26_ @SodaSkins Stop being poor. This is a poor/priorities out if whack problem not an optimization problem. A GTX 1050 will give you ***at least*** 60FPS, that **** is $60 on ebay. If you can't get CS2 running at 60FPS or better you shouldn't be gaming.

Jorge Vazquez | JDP (@JDPCollective) reportedI’m building this from real reseller problems, not theory. If you resell on FB Marketplace, eBay, from pallets, or locally and want to test the beta, DM me “beta.”

x - fartass (@scoupslesbian) reportedi also got. some bonkie and laner cards while i was on there. okay im putting ebay down for the next 2 months
-
MileHighCrypto (@Milehighcrypt0) reportedI have been a seller on @eBay for 12 years with thousands of sales, but I am officially done with them! I am a top rated seller with 100% positive feedback and have done everything right for my buyers. Problem is buyers are scamming sellers too easily now... They just dont care!

lesbians4bambi (@srisangie) reportedjust pulled my fave candle ever out of the cabinet and was so sad because it's my last one but i just scooped a medium one up from ebay like sunshine rly shone down upon me today because it's been so long ince ive even seen one listed
-
CRYPTIC (@OKLETSDOTHIS007) reported@grok @SawyerMerritt Meh. Just go to EBay or other places and buy it now with lower mileage. Prices r down.

ericosiu (@ericosiu) reportedRobinhood is worth $68 billion. Coinbase is worth $50 billion. The gap isn't explained by brand spend or ad creative. It's explained by product architecture. Robinhood stacked 11 business lines that each generate over $100 million a year. 5% cash back on their Platinum card. Crypto rewards. Premium tiers. Each product pulls users deeper into the ecosystem and makes switching feel expensive. That's not a marketing strategy. That's a retention strategy disguised as a marketing strategy. Most operators think about growth as a media problem. More ads, better SEO, smarter email sequences. And those things matter. But if your product isn't doing the heavy lifting, you're renting growth instead of owning it. eBay is the cautionary tale here. They spent $2.5 billion on sales and marketing to acquire roughly one million new users. At some point the extra dollar stops working. Diminishing returns aren't a media buying problem, they're a product problem. The Robinhood playbook is simple in theory and hard in practice. Do more for the customer at a better price, and the marketing gets easier over time. If you're running an agency or a services business, you don't need ten offerings on day one. But when you feel the ceiling on your core service, that's the signal to expand. One adjacent service, cross-sold to people who already trust you, compounds faster than any ad campaign you'll ever run.

Coffee Connoisseur 1000 (@MTBbronco) reported@Joferjeff Had issues with them the past year. No returns means no returns. Dude had a sports watch I sold him for over 30 days. He had buyers remorse and on day 35 said the watch was broken. Ebay sided with him. I got the watch back and tested it. It worked fine. Ebay didn't care.
-
Makker's Echoes (Mk2) (@EchoesAyThGlen) reported@Joferjeff A guy bought three model trains off me once (all of which went dead cheap), had a clear bout of buyer's regret and then weaponised his disability ("I can't fix one loose pipe, my hands are shaky!") and forced me to take the most expensive one back. Ebay helped him to harass me.

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.

chelloo (@MichelGruen) reported@OwenKemeys Looks terrible with the eBay net grille

Andrei Savin (@andreisavin) reported@zach_yadegari Most successful dropshippers are arbitraging a loophole and go well beyond "marketing". There was once this website BookDepository (since acquired by Amazon) that was offering worldwide "free shipping" but really just adjusting the price based on your IP location. Around 2010, I had an eBay store where I was dropshipping books everywhere in the world while buying them with a UK IP address. I needed 0 marketing: my prices were actually better than everyone on eBay. The platform itself was promoting me while I was also holding 0 inventory and taking a cut and I could barely keep up with orders. I was eventually shut down, these kind of schemes don't last. Don't actually do dropshipping lol it's more rewarding to actually build something new.

Chestfullcards (@Chestfullcards) reported@eBay needs to crack down the new seller zero feed too good to true scammers in the Pokemon listings or at least have a filter feature to hide some sellers from popping up in searches
