    @card_history @UpperDeckSports In 1999 Upper Deck told me about a few of the first Patch cards ever made. The best and worst as they put it. The WORST was a yet unreleased employee card with a distinct error i how the patch was inserted. A few months later the first Jordan employee card was released. After years of looking I never found the Jordan card that was described. The 'best' patch they described is attached. I found it after years of searching the newsgroups, sportsnet and ebay.

    @ChevanceLo1 @TrevorAllenMD @YugiMuto91 Literally just takes a eBay listing & dropping it off at an ups or etc. to sell this thing, like you can’t be this slow to think winning the tournament was what he was referring too

    @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

    @mikelectricstuf @FedEx Before brexshit I used to have a small ebay store that sent parts overseas. Royal Mail had the same problem too.

    Beware of this eBay seller. Purchased a J Baez lot when he was hot and I had to cancel and refund him because it sold on Mercari probably 15 minutes prior. He purchased it literally as I was taking down the eBay listing. I messaged him and apologized and refunded him immediately. Well… he left negative feedback and said he never got the cards.

    @eBay @askebay This does not work. The options only loop with no option to resolve my issue because I cannot contact an agent by phone.

  • Card_Shop_Guys
    Card Shop Guys Podcast (@Card_Shop_Guys) reported

    As most of us know, there have been plenty of people opening and selling 30th anniversary product early across Whatnot and other platforms. Over the past week TPCi has decided to put their foot down, specifically with sellers on Ebay. Several sellers have been contacted by Ebay and informed that their early listings for raw Pokemon cards from the 30th anniversary set have been taken down. Ebay claims the listings were in violation of their stolen product policy. I wonder if TPCi will go after Whatnot themselves and other platforms to root out the source of the problem....

  • cardthrone
    Card Throne (@cardthrone) reported

    I run Card Throne with a handful of Grok Bots. Each one owns a job. They don't all sit in one chat answering random questions. Scout does sourcing. Japanese inventory, carts, what to buy next. Grading plays and margins off my actual fees and costs. It never checks out. I still have to say purchase. Build is engineering. It only works on Card Throne Room, our seller tool. Scan a stack of cards, list to eBay, inventory management. When it's real code, it summons a cloud agent with pstack /poteto-mode. Throne runs the storefronts. Brings me the issues that actually have to move that day. Ledger does the books. Payouts, fees, receipts, the monthly P&L. Sentry monitors for any Card Throne Room bugs and pings Build if something needs fixed. Chief sits on top so I'm not pinging six bots to find out whose job a thing is. I still make the final calls.

    @JDAlexOfficial @eBay They are bloated and it’s why many individuals online rally against using eBay, Walmart, Amazon, and big corporations that have pulled the wool over our eyes and kind of forced lots of local businesses to shut down

    Ratchlock in the Rain ⛈️🥀 (@DamnitKnightly) reported

    @boomboomfaia Yeah we had to turn off shipping TO the EU because of LUCID and the new PPWR rulings (US based issue for Etsy/Ebay) But I do believe acggoods does handle most of that since they are the ones producing and shipping the items. Only thing is the tariffs but that is customer based

    @OffDaHook35 Sold some slabs at LCS today and narrowed my pc down to a small box. I have a 2000 card lot on eBay to sell the rest. A lot are cards from packs I ripped this year. LCS wouldn’t even look at them

  • sierrastrades
    Alex Thompson (@sierrastrades) reported

    TL;DR Sales down, profits up, cash lower because they turned the eBay options into real shares. • Sales: $780–800M vs $972M last year. Drop is mostly Switch 2 anniversary, store closures, and selling France. • Operating income: $150–170M vs $66M. Core operations got a lot more profitable. • Net income: $290–310M vs $169M. Includes ~$238M eBay gain, minus ~$75M digital-asset loss. • Cash: $5.05–5.07B vs $8.69B last year. Cash fell because they converted the eBay derivatives into 43.4 million eBay shares, now worth about $4.95B. • Full results drop September 8.

    I already had the first two Bendy and Boris ones from back when they were being sent out. The scary lil Christmas ones I got later down the line on eBay, and the naughty or nice one this year on Mercari.

    @AirtelNigeria @FarooqOreagba Airtel Nigeria, why is your service so poor? I’ve tried registering on eBay, but the verification code never arrives on my Airtel line. Yet, the same code comes through immediately on MTN. What’s wrong with Airtel? Is Nigeria cursed? Please fix your SMS service!

    Designed and sold my own bike parts on eBay First £1k online Absolutely zero clue what I was doing I just saw a space for a product, knew how to get stuff 3D printed, and built the product I wanted for myself - Ordered 3D printed parts for ~£7 - Final assembly + packaging ~£2 - Sold for £35 bosh Only shut it down bc a friend (competitor in the industry) asked me if I had insurance Spent a whole day phoning up insurance companies None of whom offered to cover me And bc the bike part was related to steering… I bottled it and shut down the biz (Didnt fancy my chances getting sued over an untested product if one of my buyers lost his teeth in a 1v1 with the floor) Boy oh boy that was a fun summer

    @eBay and sellers game the feedback removal. Removed negative feedback that was left after legitimate issue with an order.

    A few weeks back I bought this card from a tip on @enzo_tcg discrod. This card comes from the Blue Trial Deck of FW from 2023, basically one of the first leader cards of all FW. Hard to find in EN, this is the only version I could get my hands on EBay. Even if this card does not meet expectations down the road, I love the “vintagy” look of it. Source and user name: dissociated, thanks for bringing this into attention. Appreciate it!

    @LLMJunky @stevenharms I don’t sell much on eBay but almost every tech item I’ve had scammer issues. Luckily I didn’t lose any money and they were fairly low value items in the 100-300 range. I would not trust selling a multi thousand dollar item there.

    @CCCollectorTCG I ship via eBay to third-party shipping companies almost daily. I've never had any concerns or issues with them. All the orders work out fine.
