THE GHOST DISC WARRIOR OF KYIV (@tronbrain) reported@DoDataThings @unusual_whales RC can't fund it PERIOD. Printing worthless new shares and expecting eBay will accept them as payment is a fantasy. I seriously doubt that's what RC has in mind. If it's that easy, why not just issue a trillion new shares? The book value of GameStop ex cash is still $6B.

Post-Rip-Regrets (@FattyMatty1982) reported@GoodlandCards @CardPurchaser The problem is that they printed so much of it that even the case hits don't pay for the box. I pulled a Luther Burden fanatical and there so many of them listed on eBay right now that it's pointless to even sell it. That's not a case hit at that point.

Winson Tang (@winsontang) reportedeBay has officially turned down GameStop's staggering $56B takeover offer, citing it as "not credible." What does this mean for the future of both companies? Stay tuned as the plot thickens in the retail and gaming sectors! 💼🎮 #GameStop #eBay #RetailNews

The Jam (@LongLiveTheJam) reported@tubestations Try eBay mate but suggest you avoid the later re-issues with the front cover not sharp or the gatefold re-issue with Modern World. You should be able to find a lates 70’s copy sooner or later at a reasonable price but then you have to consider the postage costs from the U.K.

Muffin muffin muffin muffin muffin (@Baloonbaublefan) reported@mel988qw would I get flamed if I said that they could sell the broken squishy on eBay for the same price just to get their money back?

HillBillyCrypto (@HBCWeb3) reported@AlexLee_NFT I recently won an Ebay live auction for $22.00. I won a 1999 base set Eevee, a 1999 base set Jungle holo Jolteon, a 1999 base set Jungle Jolteon no symbol error card. This thing looks near mint!! A $2600-$3100 at PSA 10!!! But none of this compares to RugHatchers!! You all need to check it out!!

Limited Edition (@limitedcards_nj) reported@ghost_of_chesty @CardPurchaser This is going to be an unpopular opinion but a card is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If I had to use eBay “comps” as a guide for every card I’ve sold over the last 15 years my collection would be a fraction of what it is. This is a non regulated market, on 99% of cards eBay price insights can be manipulated. Do you know how many times I’ve listed a card for 200-300% over what the last sale was because I felt that’s where the value of the card should be and within a year or two the card winds up selling for that. Since the start of 2026 I’ve been listing on eBay through the vault simply so I don’t have to deal with the messages coming in from buyers telling me a card I have listed at 300.00 in a PSA 10 just sold for 105.00 on a .99 cent auction and then offering me 100.00. IMO if people are going to use “eBay comps” as a pricing tool, then eBay needs to provide more analytics. Some idiot sending in 200 cards to a consignment house and then having all 200 cards run in a .99 cent auction does not set the price comp on a card. The biggest issue I have with so called comps is it’s all make believe. I don’t think people realize how much “comp” manipulation is out there.

Ghost Assassin (@ghost0assassin) reportedWhy @ebay support is terrible? The AI is trash. I need to get the return label that seller claims to have sent, but it is nowhere to be found. Trying to get a call in is also terrible wait times. Why doesn't ebay have an email to sent for help?
-
Alex Zarac (@AlexZarac) reported@KRYPTOCEAN_ @ryancohen Shareholders received 3 billion in fiscal year 2025 at eBay. Gamestop shareholders received zero dollars in fiscal year 2025. You see the problem with that?
-
Timothy Doty (@TekniklDifikult) reported@JimmytheCat7 @MoranEric72539 @davepl1968 Real knowledge, though, comes with learning to fix them. Things like buying a crusty Holley 600 off eBay and replacing the boosters with Ford truck annular boosters and tuning the whole thing for a cammed 350 Chevy and still getting 22mpg on the highway.

Andrew M.H. (@hengesdad85) reported@Bobsthecardman @GabeyCardStacks I’ve never received a complaint when I use them for eBay standard envelope sales. I had to stop buying from Collx because of shipping issues.
-
えさかちひろ (@MikeRossStan) reported@lachlanscards This has been a thing for years that eBay refuses to fix.
-
Jack Dillard (@Kraven1776) reported@QayyumSahimi @quantum1nvestor It’s authorization up to that amount. Does not mean GameStop will issue any new shares. What I said makes way more sense than GameStop buying eBay like the TV says. It’s not manipulation, it’s chess. Welcome to the real world. Ryan and GameStop is up against Wall Street (swamp)

Support Your Local PBS Station (@blissnvinegar) reportedterrible for me that Julia Fox's alexander **** coat she's selling on eBay is a size 2 and I am a broad-shouldered size 4 :(

Barking Shannon (@Barking_Shannon) reported@ryancohen @JeffBezos @ryancohen $GNE down 50% over the past 5 years, AMZN, well, we would all be much happier if we owned amzn than watch u troll us shareholders. Chance of you buying eBay w o diluting your shareholders again 9%

Persistence (@Persistence888) reported@mybetisfucked @eBay It's still there. Just scroll down.
-
AJ (@CardGameNomad) reported@YiedTcg @NightshadeColl The problem with the "buy X, get Y free" is that eBay doesn't always promote those deals.... The algorithm is busted for that coupon for some reason lol. I do the "buy X amount, get Y% off" since it actually shows on every one of my qualified listings lol
-
Retrofurbish (@retrofurbish_) reported@ebay & @USPS what is this now? I’m tired of being smarter than the postal employees… I’ve shipped more than 10,000 cards via the eBay standard envelope program. Each of them have been in these Armalope envelopes. I’ve never had an issue. Then today I get a return with this giant sticker on it outlining all of the things I already know, and honor. It probably cost the post office more to send it back to me, then to deliver it correctly as intended.

Connmang (Castlevania arc) (@GenghisConnThr3) reportedI'm gonna stop using step down converters, loud buzzing is annoying and I feel like it's going to burn my house down. I've just ordered a specialised UK plug for my Famicom from eBay.
-
Devon (@Devon00541131) reported@Stalvey48 @benzos14111 Are you like the ******* mall cop of eBay right now dude? “Holy **** omg this absolute monster posted his eBay stuff on auction” Like what are you so obsessed about? It will go for the market value. Why is it the sellers you have such a problem with and not the buyers???

Handre (@Handre) reportedWhen Pierre Omidyar launched eBay in September 1995, he faced what economists call the fundamental problem of exchange: how do strangers trust each other enough to trade? The government's answer had always been more regulations, more enforcement agencies, more bureaucrats with badges. Omidyar tried something radical instead. He built a simple feedback system where buyers and sellers rated each other after every transaction. By 1997, eBay was processing over 800,000 auctions quarterly with a fraud rate below 0.01% (while traditional mail-order fraud ran closer to 2-3%). No government oversight. No regulatory compliance officers. Just buyers and sellers policing themselves through voluntary reputation scores that actually meant something to their future business. The system evolved organically as users found creative ways to signal trustworthiness and spot bad actors. Power sellers emerged with 99.8% positive feedback ratings that took years to build but could vanish overnight with shoddy service. Compare that to your average DMV employee, who can treat you like garbage for decades with zero career consequences because civil service protections make them basically unfireable. Today's gig economy runs on the same principle eBay proved in the '90s. Uber drivers maintain 4.7-star averages not because transportation regulators threaten them, but because their next ride depends on it. Amazon sellers obsess over customer reviews while government postal services lose your packages and shrug. When your reputation follows you everywhere and customers can instantly switch to competitors, you don't need bureaucrats breathing down your neck to deliver quality service.

Tyler (@HarlsBarbie2) reported@Caseicorn Technically the first round of wicked dolls didn't go down in price, they were recalled for the link on the back leading to a porn site then became worth more on sites like eBay

AhShoot22 (@mpviper1989) reported@SmallCapBob2 Sells calls* then rides the wave down with puts profiting in both directions. THEN gets ebay.

mhp guy (@Chris_Koerner) reportedIn this episode they break down the playbook - To go from $0 to $5K/month - Why VCRs are a 50x markup right now - And how to use Facebook Marketplace and eBay in the same city to print money I love seeing stuff like this! What have i told you?? There is a business in everything

Allen (@SundayMoney93) reported@KansasKim6 eBay and Facebook are a MESS with scalpers. This won't fix it, but maybe it'll help.
-
haych (@pepsxiv) reported@Youssofal_ @pupposandro you want someone to scrap together a machine with oem non warranty rtx pro 6000s from ebay, used server ram pulls, and other stupid ****. and then you want to convince an ebay seller to downmark their 10k gpu to 5 quid barbie toy, seven times all that to get to 90k of the original cost. your original comment of this being bad value was stupid, just accept it
-
Fitzzzy 🏴☠️ (@ShaunFitzzzy) reported@grok @Timmber_ @BigV47983505 So if Cohen has 4.9 % and GameStop has 5% and they end up creating a group after the fact it won’t be a problem The assumption is that they will be a group in the bid for eBay
-
Ashton (@clo4c5) reported@dealerhustles @thedealsguy_ The biggest problem with price glitch products in the States is that people do not buy anything on Marketplace. It does not matter if it is old or new. Unless you have time to invest in eBay it is hard to move those items. Unlike India

bad robot (@foxenflask) reported@pineda30308 Cheers! I think the unrealized gain on the eBay derivative position is off by a $100M in my calculations. But too late to fix it.
