Halo Dude (@halo_dude) reported@XRPee1983 I've seen this seller a lot on eBay and whilst they do have some great items, they sell collectables at obscene prices I dont understand why they wont try to price it fairly even if its initially ridiculous like 25K. At least you can negotiate down You can haggle from $5 mill!

Roman Pioneer (@renoipgp) reported@BourbonInvestm2 @natsturner @eBay I appreciate your perspective as an honest seller, but the system is absolutely broken for preventing systematic fraud. I just tested the checkout process myself with a P.O. Box. The 'Authenticity Guarantee' badge still shows up. eBay gives zero warning that the item will bypass authentication. That is incredibly deceptive to buyers who think they are protected. Second, there are no consequences. This seller has had items fail authentication before, has received multiple reports for fraud, yet he is still not banned and continues to list hundreds of counterfeits. eBay just quietly refunds the buyer, returns the fake to the scammer, and lets him try again. They are protecting their profit margins instead of the community. PSA and eBay need to share data to permanently ban accounts systematically submitting fakes. And of course, we can't completely rule out the possibility that this was simply a massive error and the fake card actually passed the PSA inspection.

Bulbartsaur (@FanofBulbasaur) reported@DisTrackers eBay is terrible they don’t respond unless you call, even after that they let scammers stay on their site without doing anything. Even for selling they suck they deleted everything I posted cause I logged in on a tablet instead of my phone

John T (@John48231) reported@MeaCulpaaa What type of battery is it? I have 3 Yamaha Ebikes and they all work great. I did have a problem with one battery failing after a year but it was replaced under warranty. I also bought a used battery on Ebay for £100 which works great, there are some bargains out there.

Grok (@grok) reported@SeanieQdup @ShiningScience The story is real but from 2018, not recent. Jackson Oswalt (Memphis, TN) built a homemade fusor (inertial electrostatic confinement device) in his bedroom using eBay parts, inspired by a TED Talk. He achieved deuterium fusion at age 12 (technically, just before turning 13), earning a Guinness World Record as the youngest to do so. The FBI visited once with a Geiger counter to check for radiation leaks as a safety precaution—no raid, no issues found. The viral post and image sensationalize it; fusors like this are a known amateur science project, not "star power" fusion.

Ryan (@RyanCaseCLE) reported@Richard_Colo @eBay I’ve had so many @eBay issues being a seller similar to this, was a seller since ‘05 and walked away due to unfair treatment of sellers and piss poor customer service.
-
Thirsty’s New and Used (@SudduthPhillip) reported@SamuelMunroe @ClassicComics3 I’ve only seen them in the wild a couple of times. Mostly I hit antique shops for this stuff. Maybe I’ll do EBay when I get down to where I only need a couple to complete. If I see them the Hitchcock Investigators I’ll definitely grab them.

Like I’d be arsed (@likeidbearsed) reported@eBay your app has been down for over a week, you website has been glitching for over 5 weeks, yet you seem not to care????? Shocking service
-
YodaNuggets (@yodanuggets001) reported@catholicncomics Same issue. @EthanVanSciver, you should check your eBay messages and sort this out.
-
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.

Bourbon Invesments 2 (@BourbonInvestm2) reported@renoipgp @natsturner It’s not about the loophole existing because it is 100% fact how the system is set up. I’m sure Nat worded it wrong or spoke without understanding the eBay system itself. Again, eBay isn’t his company who controls what goes to authentication. If someone wins a bid. They’d have to ask seller to cancel order so they can repurchase. Only then they can change the address before they repurchase. Not sure what buyer in their right mind would do that? They’d also have to have their P.O. Box and everything set up before delivery occurs. As a seller you lose ebay protection. If the seller asks buyer for address to manually change it seller gets flagged hard as they are strict with it. Seller then loses every right and protection, if buyer asks for a refund eBay would process that automatically and seller is out. Seller could also put it under wrong category which wouldn’t trigger any AG but again they have zero protection and any refund question it would process and buyer be out. So no the system isn’t fundamentally broken. Just like @natsturner could’ve misspoke on it, you are picking and trying to find anyway to dig to justify the slamming PSA eBay and the AG program because you don’t fully understand it yourself. I’m not knocking you in any way at all for the article. Personally, I fully dislike defending PSA on anything ever. I just want to make sure anything like this is accurately talked about. Since 90% of hobby beefs and drama that blow up viral are based on assumptions and misunderstandings due to non factual information
-
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.

cass 💖🇮🇱 (@sassycassyL) reported@ivorsawbottom my daughter does, only had one issue with a buyer being dodgy, I never have, I use ebay

🐝 Bee's Cards Emporium 🐝 (@THFpro_Cards) reported@fatparoon @Sir_BeefWelly @CardPurchaser Some people don't realize that there are people from all over the world that buy on eBay legitimately and this person may or may not have just recently started buying and that is why they don't have any feedback in the last 12 months. eBay international shipping protects you as long as they receive the card from you. I have shipped many cards through eBay international shipping including to China without any issue at all.

♻️Λ𝙉𝙏𝙃⓪𝙉▽♻️ (@Daeyewanaknow) reported@LikeToBeBossy I buy physical too off eBay with voucher codes.. but i seldom get PS essential, wait till it runs down and then buy Extra or Premium at a discount.
-
♡ vanilly ଘ( ᴗ͈ ᴗ͈)ഒ (@manglecwutexoxo) reportednot sure if this is allowed here (will take down if not) but considering all the toy items have skyrocketed and some are going down but posey and avrilla are still high, is it worth buying the codes off ebay? i currently have 1.2mil but it's gonna take forever to farm the rest...
-
Friedrich von Schwaben (@Schwaben_von) reported@ehelpmann I had about 40 buys on ebay until 2022 and now 13 sells in the last months. Not one problem, I am able to check the Silver. I surely only buy from accounts which have good reviews and a history. Thanks for the tip but I am not interested in buying physical in the moment. I sold 25% of my Silver and got all the money back I have ever invested and still have 75% (1258oz) of the metal. I will not sell anymore. Additional Silver I would buy via ETFs.
-
Pam Smith (@smith_pam69218) reported@eBay_UK must have the worse ever customer services. Have just wasted over an hour trying to withdraw funds from my account. I’m sure I would have no problems in using funds to buy on eBay. Doubt if I’ll use eBay to sell future items.

fantasystat (@gustave2316) reported@Chuckmanintexas @Sir_BeefWelly Most have. eBay auction numbers are way down
-
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.
-
Garrett (@chisox2024) reported@premiercards_2 @extralefty @eBay I get your frustration, but why does it take a card shop or full time seller for it to be reposted and retweeted. You wanna cry about it then be like the rest of us and get cucked when a bad deal goes down instead of stomping your feet and expecting a handout from society.
-
TCG View (@TCGView) reported@crackthepacks The buyer had zero feedback and there was no eBay authentication. Even eBay backed him on this. It's either this or he rolls the dice and hopes it's not someone who will just do a chargeback, and people have definitely done chargebacks for stuff like this. It's a huge issue.

Build With Ryan (@Build_with_Ryan) reported@pmitu I disagree. I spoke to several eBay resellers about the issues they were having. Built Privy - an eBay product intelligence tool that solved those problems. But I’m struggling to get active users!

Paul Joshua Urriza (@Bigbrourriza) reported@ValtSaber Oh I never used eBay you know my account got taken down for some reason I don't why when I sign up

kim (@kimsdracula) reported@SebastianWorth6 @spikesguides My issue is who's going to sit down and put them all on eBay with me? 😭😭😭

KB (@Paster0fMvppets) reported@wermzDKC We use to have a goodwill here but it closed down. Now we have something called red racks. I buy a lot of vhs at them. I looked on eBay but those people are proud of their prices.
-
Cliff DeMartino (@Keystone80435) reported@nremarkableguy @Notjulio you;re right. I thought I was king **** but just a degen. I had a deal with the Clemson Hallmark shop to give me 1st grab on all new beanies. Would buy those bears for $12 and sell them on eBay for $200. And when I was always down to my last $$$, the station on College Ave had a machine that always paid after hours.
-
TheCollectorsWard (@CaCardBreaks) reported@GabeyCardStacks It’s not right. What kills me is how eBay can fix this and they don’t. Also it’s BS that eBay takes full 13% on shipping fees instead of just the 3% processing fee
-
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?

All4Freedom🇺🇲🐸🍿 (@skillz17q) reported@caesar0817ljc @ParodyComedyP I'm a bot, that's ******* hilarious. I have bought stuff on eBay and got it the next day. Free shipping and no membership fees. The thing about eBay is you can see what state it comes from. I wasn't expecting this post to blow up as much as it did. Amazon used to be pretty decent until they added the United States Postal Service to their system. That's the real issue here.
