    @alt_w_v_g Yep. I listed a simple t shirt with a genuine Ferrari tag and trademark colors on ebay last year and got zero buyers, maybe 3 views, and they wanted to charge me for many things to show it better. Ebay is a joke. Terrible site now. It will not continue much longer unless they dump this **** concept.

    @wildprichard A large book reseller on eBay. I've used the contact seller feature to let them know of the issue. I don't want to name-drop, as I've had similar issues before with various such resellers (including for copies of REC BCPs) and they are normally resolved amicably within days.

    Lot of talk about eBay. First of all, I bought the stock because I know they are going to report record profits. Not because of "new buyers". But because they are squeezing sellers to death. I do not believe in the company and will dump stock after fluffed numbers come out. They forced sellers to pay ad rates 100% of the time whether or not a buyer gets to your listing organically or not. Nearly impossible to get organic traffic without paying. Even though you already pay heavy store fees and Final Value Fees. They bury you if you do not play this game. They promote Chinese sellers and mostly international accounts drop shipping stuff form Amazon and Walmart for pennies profit. It makes those overseas swindlers rich and kills small American businesses. eBay is a bad bad company. At this point it appears their only job is to gatekeep small American businesses and make sure they are squeezed until they fold. Every decision is anti American business. It has so much potential and this is why we need someone like Game Stop to take over. Fat chance though. eBay is an anti American operation and will never allow anyone to fix it. It is not here for profit. It is controlled to ensure you do not profit.

    @Stonkfather2021 that's true. but our counter party needs to hedge the risk and in theory is buying the underlying asset. If we take the money, not shares, they will have to actually sell the shares and that will bring the eBay price down while in theory strengthening our balance sheet in the process.

    @wallydollarlive @SaycheeseDGTL My wife and I found a can of Cheeto's what was printed and sealed upside down. We've kept it in hopes that one day we can sell it on Ebay. When we found it, I looked and there was a similar one selling for $200. People buy and sell the craziest ****.

    @G_I_DAVE All these pics, I'm seriously of thinking of just slapping down the money for one on eBay. There's a retro toy convention in Hershey this summer, so I might hold out for that.

    "No Returns". Some Ebay sellers are slow to ship but it still shows up and 98/100 no issues. Dare I even try buying anything from @Target? 🤨

    @alphafox I hadn't used it in over a decade until this past month when I needed an obscure ceiling fan part. I signed up. I got my part, it worked, no issue. 2 weeks later I got an email that ebay has permanently banned my account for suspicious activity. What? Why? What a joke.

    @ValueAddedRS Hey Liz. Have you considered that eBay was just a valuation trap? Ryan used eBay to officially validated GameStops $20billion TD letter as legitimate by turning down the offer. So in public’s eyes ryan has $20 billion plus $9 billion. He’s buying the DK Buyterfly Inc shell.

    @foxenflask Yeah, that's the thing. When RC was doing his EPS computations, he left out the interest on $20 billion of new debt. EPS would go down even after the expense cuts. Which again, eBay could do itself if it wanted. Why would those tutes want Gamestop in the mix?

    @ColinGunn1960 Wow. Amazing that you have a copy. Someone is trying to sell that issue on EBay for £26. Good luck to ‘em. I still have my contributor’s copy. The editor was Ian McLachlan - my school teacher at the time!

    @Zafir88538734 @ChadMoran In December I had to get my Tesla roof replaced, new 12V battery, and I did the CCS retrofit. That was $1800. I also broke my taillight on my Lightning that month so I needed a replacement taillight and VIN matched blind spot sensor. I bought both off of eBay for way less than new and Ford re-programmed for around $100. Before all of this they offered to troubleshoot the issue (I was pretty sure the issue was the sensor) for a reasonable price but I opted out and decided to gamble on a used sensor. Point being, they were really good and reasonable to work with and helped me fix my issue for a fraction of new cost. Not apples to apples, but Ford has also picked my truck up and brought it back for my 2 warranty repairs and this. For Tesla, I have to drive 2 hours each way for any repair. It’s been a hassle and enough to make me not want to deal with it anymore.

    I sold my PUBG account to pay for an Amazon seller account at 15. The account got set up. Then I learned Amazon is not a side hustle. It is a full business that needs capital I did not have. Shut it down. Ebay. Etsy. Shopify. UK company. Each one needed money to actually work. Copywriting needed none. Just skill. Just words. Just consistency. That is why I chose it. And that is why email is the best channel for it.

    @zectrillionaire @Jace_TCG Imo it's a 5% convenience fee. You already get down to 85% selling on ebay. MTG used to have Card Kingdom which was pretty good at trading in random bulk for good cards but now their high end stuff is ridiculously marked up.
