-
The Dreamcast Junkyard (is 20 Years Old!) (@TheDCJunkyard) reported@RichardC74991 @CARL0STHEGAMER @LewisJFC If you're patient you can get some good deals, especially if you buy bundles. Usual eBay average range from £10-20 though with some of the earlier issues being more expensive.
-
Cassidy ཐི༏ཋྀ Erik’s moth (@ErikCampbeIls) reported@CEOofEldin I was a bit bitter about it at the time but looking back it’s for the best because my sensory issues were so bad I couldn’t even deal with the sideswept bangs I tried. I ended up clipping them back until they grew out. Wait that made me think I could check ebay for them!!
-
Zhane (@androszhane) reportedIf @gameinformer really has to rise the price on me, the least they can do is go up to 12 issues a year. Come on, it's already way too expensive. I only pay because if I rely on eBay, someone will demand even more money. But you really don't need covers that glossy.
-
tofu (@yapinof) reported@thasminlover considering the costs would need to be under £10pp for them to not lose money I would have been surprised if they spent extra money on the shipping rather than creating the card itself + with the customs issues they were probably just as gagged to see it on eBay as we were 😭.

Allen (@SundayMoney93) reported@KansasKim6 eBay and Facebook are a MESS with scalpers. This won't fix it, but maybe it'll help.
-
Foundational White Janissary (@White_Janissary) reportedPeople today underestimate how revolutionary eBay Motors was to the second-hand car market. Sure you could buy an 84 Oldsmobile Ciera for $500 in 2002, but could you find parts for it if it broke? Even if you knew how to fix it, often you still had to go to a mechanic for parts.
-
Pier Walker (@walkthepier) reported@FredBusso @eBay 👍👍👍👍👍 And now a merit system? Just another complication. Everything always seems to come down to money. And the greedy ones are so often those who have more money than they could ever spend anyway. 🙄🙄🙄
-
Judyth Vary Baker (@Judyth) reported@marybowdenMD: Amazon issues an ISBN number for every book it sells, incl this plagiarized knock-off. So go to Sellers Central. Demand they revoke the plagiarized book's ISBN number. If they refuse, sue for ignoring copyright. BTW, Amazon shows my book, LEE HARVEY OSWALD AND ME, but won't let anybody buy it! (please get it on eBay!).
-
Tactical Timmy (@Josh11600) reported@ThePPseedsShow The one year return is over 60% for ebay shareholders. So maybe the board isn't screwing them over like you say. I know my gme investment is down right now. Hopefully RC will flip that around with his plan. But maybe pick a different company to talk trash about the board lol.

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.

Todd Eldredge ⛸️ (@toddeldredge) reported@garyvee @gasfairy_eth @veefriends Is anyone else still having issues with rarible not pairing their Veefriends wallet with their account. I haven’t been able to buy any VF NFTs for a while. I also tried OpenSea and that also told me it couldn’t pair my account. I’ve also put up several things on eBay to start saving up for more comics and the 2026 Chrome release! #Topps #toppschrome

moonshot_69 (@Moonshot_69) reported@kennyf626 $30? not happening. $10 then slow growth for the next decade. moass doesnt exist and purchasing ebay just makes the squeeze thesis that much more irrelevant

𓆩МЯ𓆪 .miran (@miranthepoet) reportedstill upset about my mother not getting me that twenty one hoodie when i was 11. im now 18, i still want it, im trackin it down on ebay
-
Nightwing 🎥🍿 (@InkedCinephile) reportedMight have to see how much issue one is on eBay. It's frustrating cause I'm trying to save for camera equipment and a new laptop but all these comics and games are releasing too
-
Konstantinos ☧ (@FriscoCity415) reported@sfcogsports @BigBobsCards Is that blood on his face or print error? Doesn’t seem to be on any of the other cards listed on eBay paper or chrome
-
Andre Rodriguez (@Andrep90x) reported@ryancohen no body wants you to buy eBay eBay is fine and u don't fix what's not broken if eBay was so bad why do u want it sooo bad dumbass u destroyed gamestop closing stores every month employees let go monthly website is empty nothing available
-
Jorge Vazquez | JDP (@JDPCollective) reportedI’m building this from real reseller problems, not theory. If you resell on FB Marketplace, eBay, from pallets, or locally and want to test the beta, DM me “beta.”
-
Danm7890 (@danm7890) reported@ryancohen Are these the issues you have been talking about. Bring back old school ebay and I would use it more. Terrible service!
-
Ghosty 👻🕷🕸 (@ghostyectoplasm) reported@thequannnic I found that first one on eBay for 40$ in a lot of broken or fodder figures, but the spidey was near perfect condition. My first one I had as a kid was eaten by my dog ::(
-
Domelbestial (@DomElBestial) reported@eBay needs to make customer service better accessible. This is ridiculous trying to speak to someone through the phone for multiple concerns and issues. Y’all need to do better on taking care of the good hearted sellers out there.
-
Boone Dog (@Boonedog92) reported@LauraQueFala @mikasagrada Look on ebay, I just bought one for my son. It has no bluetooth or internet. Other than what you upload to it, the only other thing it can access is the radio. Instead of having his head down in the car with a nintendo, he listens to music and looks out the window.
-
H. S (@kingofpirat3s) reported@BatmanHypeGuy @ComicKing007 I have no clue what the full story is, cuz if you never got them item, how do you not get a refund? Not sure what convo went down w Ebay but you have buyers protection and when a order is delivered it usually has photo proof. And again the artist cant help you with that.
-
Spence (@mindthybusiness) reported@JGemini @TunedIntoTennis You sound super ignorant and ungrateful.. I purchase used shoes all the time from eBay because nice ones can be expensive and a nice pair of used shoes are better than holey unstable shoes that cause injury which I’ve had. It sounds like the issue lies within you
-
Curtis Payne (@curtscards64) reported@BranaDane @eBay FEBAY IS WHAT THEY CALL IT. Also if you ever have a problem they will always take the buyers side.
-
Covid Denier (@covid_denier) reported@FargusDengus @_vindicator_ Holy ****, he closed down unprofitable stores, so amazing. Nevermind all the failed ventures, buying hundreds of millions of dollars worth of BTC and eBay at the top.
-
Niall (@Niall_Ky) reported@HackForumsNet @Mericamemed Nah. You can get a lot of great workstation and server stuff off ebay for decent prices. Let's say I hypothetically have 8 sticks of 32G RDIMM sitting around. There's well priced HP and Lenovo workstations with 8x slots on ebay for days.
-
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
-
ronanonymous * (goose) (@sirronhale) reportedHey @ebay remove the shipping cost review feature from reviews. We have no control over postage cost and getting review dings because someone agreed to pay it but then complained is BS. @ryancohen please make that a fix in your first 100 days. @CardPurchaser
-
PC Savants (@pcSavants) reportedMan @ebay scammers are so bold they now can just claim they got an empty package and im required to issue a refund.

하지Mara고 (@hajima_7) reported@togepri514 i ordered a bunch of times, but to EU addresses and had no issues! it's just fking serbian customs, they look up **** online and "estimate the value" themselves...and i was getting an Emile and Kaine nendos and they were rly expensive on ebay, WHICH IS WHY I USED AMIAMI BTW </3
