Milk (@M1lkCh0c0lat) reportedYeah except people aren’t selling a $6 latte for $42 on eBay. Stupid analogy, you’re obviously part of the problem. Begone.

joseph cristiano (@ExponentialNova) reported@Vivek4real_ Why do people cling on the clarity act like its going to save the crypto sphere. This is a bad piece of legislation and most of you think its the best thing to happen since ebay Clayton stepped down from the sec
-
Arisu (@MaidArisu) reported@ACE_HIGH22s @DeeGeeGames2009 So it might have gone down on ebay, but it will never go down fully to that ebay price locally depending on where you live. And because people that don't check online only check these overpriced places they create another unrealistic price when trying to sell locally themselves.

Matt Hunter (@MattHunterCoach) reportedThe best decision PayPal ever made came out of a fierce disagreement between its two top leaders. Max Levchin wanted to send money between Palm Pilots. Peter Thiel saw limited market potential and said so, clearly and directly. Neither backed down easily. Neither softened the message for the sake of harmony. Out of that clash came a pivot to email money transfers that eventually led to a $1.5 billion acquisition by eBay. When talented people argue honestly toward the truth, great things happen.

Lotus Invest (@lotusinvest777) reported@glacierptrading Problem is that their net revenue is mostly interest from their cash pile that was created by diluting shareholders , the markets don’t recognize collectibles as recurring revenue ..that’s why Cohen needs eBay ..until then we could see 12$ if dillution hits

Jack of Many Spades (@LoganView64206) reported@MoleculesGoHard However, the DEA has a policy of going after anyone selling it to individuals and finding some reason to charge them. It was selling by the liter on Ebay and Amazon until like 2015 when they cracked down Customs seizes it if bought from overseas and just doesn't provide a reason

Karl “Freight Train” Marx the Seventh, S.J. (@marxseventh) reported@JayStrellson @antonydavies It’s also bizarre that the problem is the people subsidizing Walmart to pay workers below sustenance, but you want to talk about eBay. Eliminate profit, and Walmart will have plenty of money to pay workers.

JasoninIF (@Jasforeld) reportedIs anyone else dealing with @eBay ESUS shipping issues over the last couple of months? I have had multiple purchases stuck in the original drop off locations with no updates to the point that I have to request refunds. Almost like the @USPS is deliberately delaying shipping 1/2

Gabrielle Stubbs (@gabystubbs1) reported@BasilTheGreat you have to have your wits about you. someone I knew talking about ebay said that you could have parcels picked from your home , now that all the POs are closing down( WH Smith closures)- I declined saying I did not want random strangers at my door

Back and forth with seller, fedex, and ebay. they evidently went to wrong address. 50 some bucks this time. they all claim was delivered here. not!

Professor Victini (@ProfVictini) reportedCasually browsing Ebay for some miscut/ error cards, and came across this amazing error card: CGC 7 ERROR Double Print 1 Side Blank Larvitar Obsidian Flames Pokemon 105/197 Larvitar is printed on the back instead of the front, and the other side is totally blank. Wonder how this card leaked out from the factory.

Quasimodem (@Quasimodem60215) reported@EricRStPierre Aaarrgg!! Ten cent and twenty five cent pieces! And a 1961 Canadian 50 cent piece now costs about $50 on eBay, when you include tax and postage. I think the 1961 is just about the most beautiful of Canadian coins. 1961… the upside down year according to MAD Magazine

Fadi (@FadiEcomAI) reported@EverydayResell The $32,315 between total sales and eBay earnings is the number most sellers never write down. Congrats on 168 days of logging every dollar.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 169 Total sales: $458.97 Buy cost (COG): $44.66 eBay earnings: $208.01 Net profit: $163.35 ROI: 365% Not every day is defined by what ships, sometimes it's defined by how you handle what doesn't. Today included two canceled orders. One was canceled before shipment, so the inventory goes right back on the shelf waiting for another buyer. The other involved a non functional item that couldn't be completed, so I recorded the inventory cost & moved on. That's part of running a reselling business. The goal isn't to avoid every cancellation or problem item. The goal is to build a business where those situations are expected, accounted for, & don't derail your progress. The focus stays the same: source quality inventory, price it well, list consistently, & let the numbers compound over time. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

giosaia (@giosaia) reportedStill struggling. I need to create releases for 3 apps on the Apple Store, fix releases on Google Play, fix the web hook for RankGoat to create posts for my business, integrate the eBay API for inventory management in CAUN, test CoinTrade, finish the TubeBinder MVP, and make 1.5B. When will I get it done if I do nothing?

Daniel Romanski (@UrMomsOnTinder_) reported@RanaMC_ @PalworldOCG_EN I would love to have a card shop near me I could go to but I just don’t. Got my boxes from eBay which isn’t terrible but I’d love to support my local stores if I had one.

Eka One (@Eka_One11) reportedeBay is the brand I'd love to see on @clashoAi Before "Web3 reputation" was a phrase, eBay solved the actual hard version of the problem: how do you let total strangers trust each other with money, with no platform vouching for either side. Answer, since basically 1996: a public score built entirely from real completed transactions. Positive minus negative. You can't rate someone you never actually did business with, so it can't be farmed by randoms the way a like button can. They're still actively defending that idea decades later. eBay's 2026 update shifted seller status to weigh actual defect rate over raw feedback percentage, specifically because sellers were sitting on high star ratings while quietly racking up real problems that just weren't showing up as feedback. That's a platform patching its own trust system to keep it honest, thirty years in. Clasho's trying to build that exact thing for content instead of packages. eBay already proved the model survives at scale, across decades, without ever needing a blockchain to hold it together. ClashoAI the oldest trick in online trust is still the one nobody's beaten yet

Bill D'Alessandro (@BillDA) reported@kylecordes @heynavtoor This is true as of 2025 for all new Chamberlain openers. 100% encrypted wireless. Anything labeled “Security 3.0” is totally locked down. I got the last Security 2.0 units my installer had in the warehouse earlier this year. You can still find a few on EBay.

Dave5oh (@Dave5oh1) reported@knoyhead Ive bought $20 cards on Ebay, and $1500 cards on Ebay. Only have ever had an issue with sealed product. And Ebay refunded me in less than 3 days. Anything over $250 gets authenticated at psa.

Anus McFloptrap (@y_onthehill) reported@lanascarface Online shopping sites and second hand platforms, getting dolls from ebay would probably cause other problems than money tho

Tim (@trobdawk4) reported@BasedFriarSD I put it on eBay. Not sure what it’s worth but I found 3 others ranging from 150-300, so I priced it in that range. Didn’t want to be the guy that set the comp way too low. If you’re a buyer in that price range I’ll post a link, otherwise, just wait, that price may come down.

Cognito (@Cognitobot) reportedDear @ryancohen, A real eBay experience… I ordered about $168 worth of coffee from Amazon. They shipped the wrong flavor. I opened the app on my iPhone expecting to start a return. Instead, Amazon instantly refunded me and basically said, “Keep the coffee.” So now I have four cases of coffee. I figured I’d sell them on eBay. The AI listing was actually pretty slick. It recognized the product immediately and even suggested a price. Then I got stuck. The AI wanted to create a listing for all 4 cases (about $147 total). What I wanted was 1 case for $37.69 with a quantity of 4 available. I couldn’t figure out how to do that, and the app wouldn’t let me switch to a manual listing instead of using AI. I messed with it on my phone for way longer than I should have before giving up. I canceled the listing, figured I’d ask AI how to get around it later, and then got distracted. So… the coffee is still sitting in my house. To be fair, Amazon basically handed me free money, and eBay would let me create four separate listings if I wanted. I just think it’s a better experience for buyers who want multiple cases, better for sellers who don’t want to jump through extra hoops (or ship four separate orders), and probably better for eBay too. Anyway… when you take over eBay, can you have someone look into this? I’m guessing it’s an easy fix. Thanks, Cognito

LoneWolf VR (@LoneWolf_VR) reported@cinemaandgaming @Wario64 It used to go for 150-200 on eBay but reprints have brought the price down. Now the second game goes for that

Midlife Crysis | Retro Gaming (@MidlifeCrysis_) reported@MoonPieDreams @FoxyRed2025 Not at all, I think you have interpreted it wrong. I don’t throw money at eBay but that’s up to you really if that’s what you generally take from my posts I’m not really going to try and change your mind as it’s fairly irrelevant to me. I know my passion for gaming, been doing it since I was around 7 and I’m in my 40s now. Somebody unhappy with my gaming videos isn’t really going to bother me too much. I certainly don’t gain followers from those posts, they generally don’t even do that well with views. If I cared about that then there is more cost effective ways of gaining followers but what I have gained is some decent mates on here. Some I’ve added to PSN, some I’ve helped with orders they were having delivery issues with and others through the purchase of a console and getting it working. If I was only interested in followers rather than contributing and supporting others in the community then I wouldn’t bother.

frank rosyrat (@FRosyrat96857) reported@eBay Order #27-14895-18623 — 10-year seller, 110+ five-star reviews, no negatives, no dormancy. Watch band ($350, delivered Jul 24) is on a flat 30-day hold, funds not available until Aug 24. I shipped it out in 1 day, and I’ve sold watch parts/bezels before with no issue, and cleared $1,000+ items with funds released within days of delivery. Two other orders shipped the same week are showing funds will typically be available 30 days after delivery. This one’s the outlier. Support has only pointed me to the generic “high priced items or unusual selling patterns” policy language, which doesn’t explain why this specific transaction was flagged. Can someone check the actual risk/fraud flag on this order and tell me the real reason, not the boilerplate? I’m absolutely livid and done with eBay if my funds are t released within a reasonable name time frame. I’m not a bank and just loan out my **** only to me paid back months later. You treat your sellers- your top sellers like ****. Make hundreds off advertising and selling fees and then hold my money as if it’s not even mine.

Raildig (@Raildig) reportedI was shooting quick little videos on the phone for pieces I'm putting up on eBay today and before taking down the test track sections, I popped this $20 steam loco chassis on the track. I bought this with a bunch of random pieces a couple months back but hadn't run any of it yet. This chassis in N scale, tiny and light as a feather so I wasn't expecting much from it to be honest. I was kind of shocked that without any additional weight on it, it ran this well. As a nice bonus... it sounds great! Sound to me is a big deal with model trains. Too many are a bit screechy / grinding, etc. For me that really hurts the enjoyment. I'm sort of obsessed with the whole "model railroading is too expensive" thing I hear so often. Of course it can be, but a chassis like this, at $20, opens up so many possibilities. We'll be shooting videos on these low prices chassis and what they can mean for the hobby! I really was knocked out by this train.
