    I have a feeling someone behind the scene from JET took down every listings of “JET Get Born Live 2018” CDs on EBay. Because there was so many sellers selling the cd but it was probably illegal bootlegs. In just one day all of it disappeared at the same time.

    eBay’s payment process is so terrible it makes me wish they still used PayPal, which is one heck of a bad achievement 😐. A healthy reminder also, that while Discogs might be a nightmare punish, eBay will always be a billion times shittier.

    @shaaaaammmmm i mean... im not an expert or anything but if the outside shell part is the reason why your shoulder button is broken (maybe the shell is damaged) you could swap that shell (you can buy just shells on ebay for a cheaper price) then the problem would be fixed

    @SadPuppyGirls Controllers? Nice. I'm just needing to use this to test as I repair. Once it's fixed, I'm thinking of buying "broken for parts" controllers off ebay to repair and go with it :3

    1/ As an Ebay seller, people will often message me asking for discounts. Unfortunately I get these messages all the time, and it's becoming a problem. But one thing I've been noticing is that if I ignore the messages and keep the price as is, someone else will buy the card.

  • Garcia3MVP
    David Garcia (@Garcia3MVP) reported

    @aaron_bukovsky @CardPurchaser Use ebay standard envelope. If you use PWE you won’t know if the buyer receives the card and that can set up a scam. Ebay Standard Envelope insures your card up to $20. I have over 2K sales using ebay standard envelope, barely have issues.

    @CardPurchaser Card was a Obsidian Colorblast Tua RC. eBay didn’t allow me to claim fault of the shipper either because a case was never opened. I just refunded him so he would take down his poor feedback. Had to call EBay to get feedback removed. Failed by all seller protection methods.

    @DraculasRV @BaconBacon1969 @loganclarkhall Starting on Jan 1, 2022, eBay and other marketplaces are required by the IRS to issue a Form 1099-K FOR ALL SELLERS who receive $600 or more in sales.

    @TibsGTE My E46 is now 20 years old and I never have problems when I use the main dealer for parts, some discount offered usually. or eBay as a lot of the dealers have eBay stores and for stuff like brake discs can be cheaper.

    @golden_anomaly I’m trying to sell some broken laptops in a bundle, a used psu, and some broken iPhone parts on eBay. I already sold a GPU on there. (No, I won’t link due to privacy concerns).

    @Wario64 Since the first one goes for like 80 I'm sure they made plenty of this one. It's sitting around $35 on ebay. This might be a down the line game tho. Pick it up.

    @2Triforces @DJK1NG_Gaming No problem, try checking in Ebay cause I've seen a few users who sell so of those games cheaper.

    @JasmyProphet @jbridd I’ve heard horror stories about people buying hardware wallets on Amazon and eBay and getting wiped out. Was fearing that happened. Hoping this is some kind of tech glitch and can be sorted. So sorry dude. I don’t think we’re getting over .015 anytime soon tho. Rebuild possibly.

    @eBay_UK I have issues logging into my eBay acc. I have active listings but cannot access or process any requests. I have changed my mobile num & the only verification option is to my my phone number Due to this I am restricted from accessing my acc. Please help.

    I have literally been trying to deal with this issue since MAY. @ebay gives zero shits. Seller is overseas. Shipping takes 3 weeks+. Seller lies, gives bad tracking info, waits out the 30 day Buyer "Protection" Policy, ghosts buyer. It's a perfect system for scammers.

  • jenna
    Jenna Bilotta (@jenna) reported

    @harper Yes. I bought a black market one on eBay for like a 30% mark up. But let me tell you. Worth. It. Once it goes up it’s not coming down until after new year. He’s just getting different outfits for the different holidays.

    Shaver Shop's site is terrible, just will not pass you onto a payment processor, just loops around and drops you back on the checkout page. Used ebay instead.

    @spookeleton Yuuup I had that one too! They left a package at another door and the neighbor got it once, and it was a nightmare getting ahold of them, and when I finally did they blamed the eBay seller instead of taking care of the problem that was very clearly their fault.

    Kevin Gelowitz (@KGelowitz) reported

    @OrtegaKeno @CardPurchaser Only way I could even save you as a seller was to login from what you sent. Tried on the app before and nothing. Said couldn’t find seller. I miss out on a lot of eBay finds cause of this issue.

    @hand_to_eye there was a bit of *** involved, happened years ago, every year I revisit the issue hoping to find my model on Ebay or something

    @Convertbond They turned people selling items on ebay to make an extra side income, into hell. I use to sell old toys in my collection to supplement for health issues. Now I can't even do that because Ebay fees + the IRS taking a cut takes nearly a quarter of whatever I get. Sickening.

    @uk_fedex I sent a engine with you worth £1500 back to a eBay seller in a dispute that you won’t provide information on even though we know it has been delivered! TNT tracking not updating due to a fault with your system simply isn’t good enough! I am £1500 down and now no engine
