    @susankilfoy @rosepet19239091 For many of us hobbyists who trade gear via eBay or other forums, it's pretty much the only way to handle transactions. I haven't had any issues with security for ages.

  • jaybirdsatx

    @rosepet19239091 Yes. I’ve sold thousands of items on eBay using primarily PayPal and have never had a problematic issue.

    @rosepet19239091 I use it and I have never had a problem. Plus they have protections in place for buyers. I use it for my online Etsy and eBay shops.

    TattooedToyCollector (@FunkoFutureNews) reported

    @teahagg @DisFunko Prelistings on EBay are in the 200 plus range currently but I’m guessing 150 is where it will settle down at eventually. A $200 buy it now option would certainly sell.

    @UPS do not use this service as I posted a item tracked signed for etc on the 12th November paid enhanced cover for item and the person I sent it to has not got it and item says in transit when tracked phoned helpline . Not interested not there issue contact ebay. Avoid

    @eBay @paypal Since paypal is blocking my login I ordered things for $195 on amazon.

    @nocturne1697 Ok so I PERSONALLY found the switch motion controls to be easy (and I normally hate motion controls) but if you are on the fence, you can always get the original on sites like ebay for like 30 dollars! I think it just varies from person to person but I rarely had issues with it!

  • lakanen
    Peter Stuart Lakanen (@lakanen) reported from Tallahassee, Florida

    @MatPringle Those for sale anywhere? If not, what should I search for on eBay to find one? I *love* the resting post that extends down from the handle.

  • KtCakes66

    @rosepet19239091 @MaryMary0414 I’ve used PayPal for years. From buying things on EBay to sending money to a friend. I’ve never had an issue.

    2/2 ...it's wise. Makes using PayPal on Ebay or Amazon a lot easier. I've had no problems.

  • jengervase
    Jennifer Gervase (@jengervase) reported

    @rosepet19239091 Yes, I sell on EBay and all of the payments go through PayPal. I have never had any problems.

    @rosepet19239091 I have money in paypal from years ago but I have no idea how to access it...forgotten email addresses phone numbers and passwords...but my mom uses it all the time on eBay and has never had a problem...she even has PayPal credit...

    @OGPotRoast alot of these PS5s XSX broken, so it's safe to assume some of them being over paid for on eBay and whatnot are broken

    Jason Bennett (@JasonBe93233819) reported

    @rosepet19239091 I've had good luck with them and trust them. If you are ever an ebay seller, and have to deal with PayPal's customer service, you'll find out it's substandard. But for buying, generally problem-free.

    @furioursus I would try to eBay a copy, but I can’t remember which exact issue it was, and I think a 35 year old buying multiple copies of vintage xy magazine would probably set off some alarm at Interpol.

  • ajpbradley

    @K1971Martin @jonhoneyball Th first one of these only let me down because I bought the wrong replacement wiring loom via eBay when I found that a previous owner had butchered the one that came with the head unit and cd changer.

    Christian Zetzsche (@zedmaster84) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes One would hope that platforms such as eBay shut down all scalpers that try to sell it for 2x the price but that’s just wishful thinking.

    @AndrewRangeley @AboveAvgOdds I paid 30% more on Ebay for mine in 2017!! Shocking that this is still an issue 3 years afterwards

    @B_K_Bass Yeah, I haven't searched on eBay for a long time. I'm good with what I've got. I'm still waiting for the pandemic to slow down so I can actually get out and play!

    @JennyDell_ Lets see, I had surgery in January to fix 3 fractures in my ankle, no that's not it. Torn my left bicep in March, no that wasn't it. Got laid off in Feb, no that wasn't it. Oh wait, picked up autographed Middlebrooks card on Ebay!

    Builder of Sets (@builder_set) reported

    5% eBay bucks sent me down a vintage rabbit hole. One seller, a boat load of high number late 60s/early 70s and cazy stupid low prices on stuff. Like .99 for 9 high quality 1974 team checklists? Sign me up!

    YinYangCardBreaks (@yinyangbreaks) reported

    Tbh even if Burrow "comps" on eBay go down I'm not selling a mosaic or prizm base below $25. Dude is a talent and just imagine how much they will be when he returns and if he has a big game upon that return.

    I’ve been asking for more Classic Doctor who DVDs so my dads found a load that arnt too expensive on eBay the issue is they are the DVD files so don’t have special features and I’m a big fan of Audio commentaries as I like to know behind the scene stuff. I really want them

    @crispy_bart There's a lot of decent fake lego figures on Ebay, I may supplement the set with some. Some of them are terrible though so have to be careful,.

    @SolBrass I have a lot less of a problem with that tho than people who clean out store shelves of boxes just to resale the boxes on eBay for 3x the price

    @stockx After this ps5 come I’ll never use your site again. This slow process is pitiful... next time I’ll go to eBay

    Been trying to contact @eBay because it doesn't recognize either of my emails as valid. The live chat just told me "create a new email" and the rep on the phone just straight up hung up on me after not being able to figure out the issue.
