-
sticky1mate (@sticky1mate) reported@eBay Contacted your customer service 5 times about a buyer scamming me. You've avoided helping me every single time. As a seller, I'm done. Never using eBay again. Your support is terrible and leaves honest sellers unprotected. #eBay #CustomerServiceFail #eBayScam
-
MiBo @RadioVagabund@radiosocial.de (@do3mib) reported@2j4ez The same problem as with all old cassette decks: the belt. It’s made of rubber, and rubber ages. Either it slips or it’s already snapped. Opening it up and replacing it isn’t difficult; replacement belts are available for very little money, e.g. on eBay
-
CreekSideAaron (@Dizzle541) reported@RandyTreibel @CardPurchaser You can’t directly message people on eBay unless they’re a buyer or seller. There’s no way to just casually have conversation with them. You’re just trying to stir up trouble and make something out of nothing.

Bourbon Invesments 2 (@BourbonInvestm2) reported@renoipgp @natsturner @eBay Fakes are fakes and always going to happen unfortunately. I think the system works fine. As a seller that frequently sends to PSA I’ve been fine with all except 1. Where card was send clean zero issues perfect corners and suddenly I got a message from authenticator showing a damaged corner indicating they dropped it. But buyer and I worked together. I’m not a fan of complaints just being complaints with assumptions. I’m sure you that about it. So let me ask, how would You design this program to be better? Without loophole?
-
militaria collector (@militariaFlickr) reported from Caddington, England@CenturionArms I'm UK based, I normally slim down through EBAY
-
Katherine Argent (@effthealgorithm) reported@Cross_Malaki Many gaming consoles play DVDs, too. A CD/DVD player attachment you can connect to a computer is dirt cheap at Walmart. Combo TV & DVD players are still manufactured, or you can get retro ones on eBay. And yes, there are still people who know how to fix them if things break.

Nic🫶🏻le✌🏼👟 (@1t0ughco0kie) reportedHas anyone ever NOT had their sneaks authenticated on eBay? I’ve never had a problem, but I’m sure it happens?
-
Tommie (@Kamille_Bidoff) reported@OaklandKao I got mine as a preorder through hobbyfrontline when they were doing the colab, After the shipping to the store in IE then to me down in PT it wasn't much less than what they're going for on ebay rn so there's no time like the present to make irresponsible financial choices 😸
-
bad robot (@foxenflask) reported@papi_kubosh He has been involved with PayPal indirectly since eBay acquired it in 2002, and directly as a PayPal board member from the 2015 spin‑off until he stepped down in 2017
-
Big J State48 🇺🇸💚🌵📷🏜️🐕 (@JHinesSr) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay Yeah they definitely have people working at the bay that have no clue about trading cards! AND FIX YOUR STANDARD ENVELOPE PROGRAM EBAY IT SUCKS ***!
-
Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. (@MillerJosh_) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay As someone new to the hobby, I'm curious: why is this ebay's issue and not the seller? Was this authenticity guaranteed?
-
twelshyy (@twelsh93) reported@VandelayBreaks @CardPurchaser @eBay Happens every time. A piece of painters tape prevents this issue.
-
Sam Clemens (@mtxpost) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay How does that happen? I put cards in semi-ridged holders all the time, and I never have that issue.
-
Alex (@Bluestreak_07) reported@electrochairr You just convinced me to check eBay for MTMTE comics. Hopefully they have some reasonably priced ones. May have to pick up a couple issues
-
Fadi (@shahf82) reported@imaysellit The listing fee is the smaller problem. eBay: 11.5% FVF plus $0.40 per order. On a $50 part that is $6.65 to the platform before ops. Add dimensional weight billing and return freight on heavy items. The order side bites harder than the listing side at volume.
-
Havoc_Actual 🇺🇸 (@Havoc_XXI) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay @Topps Good to know such a large card account is a complete ******. I simply said you should be upset at Topps in the first place. If I have anything going to an authenticity check, I always put it in a one-touch and I’ve never had an issue. Have even requested it from numerous sellers and never had an issue but by all means keep crying about it and being a d-bag. 👍🏾

TheMangaAddict ²³ CR: MAGI CW: Ben 10 OV (@Th3MangaAddict) reported@Rammuschilling Depending on where you buy them from the price changes. If you use a proxy site you can get them for less than $3. I buy mine in person at a local Kinokuniya & they charge $6. eBay sellers charger $20-$40 or more depending on the issue.

Bear Huggington (@jokersall) reported@ctrlalycedlt I had to get a copy off ebay but I haven't had any problems playing it.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@TeslaF6026 Aftermarket wheel arch trims (like on Amazon/eBay for ~$20-50) are available for Model Y and fit most 2020-2024s, but users report occasional issues with clip quality, slight gaps, or warping over time—not as snug as OEM. For zero hassle and perfect match, stick with Tesla Service part (~$40-80). It unclips/replaces in minutes with no surprises. If your VIN confirms the exact part #, order via the app.
-
Will (@wiggleee_w0rm) reported@dizzy_dman Depends. From the actual team, hit or miss? Actually from someone like eBay, definitely stanky Recently received a Thrashers jersey (rip) and the jersey smelled like cheap cologne. Was terrible. Received another game worn jersey and there was a stain that got progressively worse
-
@tres (@tresbagley) reported@ClownWorld These are the same scum that try to talk me down on an item at my garage sale that I marked for $3.00-- like, "No, *******, you can pay the $3 or keep it moving." Because all they want to do is list it on eBay for more.
-
Kenob1 (@Ob1JohnKenob1) reportedIt sucks having to block buyers on ebay. When you take great care in shipping and packing and someone wants a crazy refund for an issue that was not on the card (price was already a great deal). Yes, I refunded a portion, to prevent bad rating. Then you look on their store and they turn around and are selling the same card for 4x the price. #thehobby
-
biz (@biztimes10) reported@GLENNderson1 @SlabtownCollect Yeah the shipping to canada is the problem with ebay. No one changes it to the proper pwe cost.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@s_michaelsteele @ThrillaRilla369 Buy the movie outright on Blu-ray/DVD (cheap used on eBay) or digital ownership via iTunes/Amazon. No more surprise rentals, and you keep it forever. Streaming is built for subscriptions + upsells—ownership beats the game. Blockbuster nostalgia is fun, but this fixes the root issue.
-
David Peck (@dpeck100) reported@cardofdreams I bought this from eBay years ago. 36 card display case that says UV protected. Have six full. Used to have on the wall but took down for safety reasons. They sit on the floor against a wall and nice to be able to access whenever.
-
Michael Bushnell (@mlbushnell81) reported@IGN I got ahead of this issue last year. I bought an old Kindle Keyboard off Ebay and used it to rip my books to epub in Calibre. Kindle Keyboard is one of the few remaining Kindles that can connect to the Amazon store and uses the older version of Amazon's DRM, which is easily broken. My wife and I are going to move to Kobo readers so we can use DRM free books.
-
Griefcliff aka, grief "jackhammer" cliff (@griefcliff) reported@usrnamewastkn @fleshsimulator You're also paying way too much on AMZ, they claim one is left in stock, and I almost made an error and purchased it, before checking eBay. all copies of Mamas foot could be purchased and a cartel could potentially set it's price.
-
Hoss (@NamesJohnnyUtah) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay Have them call you thru eBay automated assistant chat. Say “call me” in the chat. Take pictures, show them the damages and they will give you $$ back. This is absolutely a known issue and they are doing nothing to fix it.
-
Szalony321🇺🇸,🇲🇾, 🇬🇧, (@szalony321) reported@money_522 I have a garage that I stay in for 2-3 hours almost daily. It’s the only thing I can have any say over without debate. I buy old PC parts, attempt to fix them then sell back on eBay for a few extra dollars. Keeps me sane.

Tyler Rhoney (@Sw0lleyMammoth) reported@thehaileemurphy Hi! You can buy codes on EBay at the start of every season for $20. TMobile users get it free and sell the codes - I’ve done this for 5 years now and haven’t had a problem. Great way to save money in the future :)
