  @eBay you need to do better. Your customer support doesn’t work. How do I speak to you? I just tried your automated service and it’s broken.

  A lot of new people here, this one’s for you. 🚨How to stop losing money to eBay return scammers. They buy your clean, working item… then ship back a broken piece of junk & demand a full refund. I recently learned this $7.49 trick & it’s an absolute game changer: Grab a cheap UV security pen (the exact one I use from amazon is in the photo). Before you ship, write a unique personal code or mark in a hidden spot on the item. It’s completely invisible to the naked eye, but lights up under any blacklight. When the return comes back, just shine the light. No matching mark? That’s not your original item. Upload the before/after UV photos in your eBay case and watch your win rate skyrocket. 🚀 Pro tip: Make the code truly unique, your own handwriting style, a random symbol only you make. Something scammers can’t duplicate even if they know the method. Resellers: add this to your process TODAY. It will save you hundreds (or thousands) in the long run. Who’s trying this? Let me know in the comments if you’re adding UV marking to your process. Also, would love to hear your best return scam stories below! Happy selling! Let's grow!

  Just pulled down all of my sub $20 listings from @ebay. Sick and tired of @USPS employees stealing cards I sell. 3 of the last 7 cards I mailed never got to the destination. That coupled with all of the check stealing and scrubbing going on the standard mail service can't be trusted. Yes they were all tracked. Only certified mail from now on.

  @RockSol1d_ Sorry to hear that. I had this exact problem recently. If you’re lucky you can buy/swap an individual solenoid. If not you might need to buy the whole module. Check out aftermarket parts on eBay. They’re very reasonable, and either swap it yourself or get the mechanic to do the install.

  @RetroCoast I bought a used personal hidden camera on eBay because I needed just the recorder portion for a well/bore camera. It came with an SD card that had been wiped but I started to wonder what the previous owner would use it for. I had software I used to recover from corrupted memory cards and gave it a shot. It took all night but the next day there were 4 separate video files recovered. I played the files one by one, it was a man filming his apartment tours, he had the camera hidden about chest level, it was all very boring, filling applications and talking to apartment managers. I said, what a waste of time and skimmed through the last video, at the end, something caught my eye, it was him getting into his car while swinging HIS PURSE into the passenger seat, he was mumbling to himself sounding discouraged, then he sat down into the driver's seat for the great reveal, dainty women's dress shoes, pumps or heels or whatever, hairy legs and a tight fitting dress! This DUDE was trying to get anyone to openly discriminate against him for being a freak, ultimately it didn't work so he sold his hidden camera system.

  Is that like 8% sales tax? That's the biggest issue here, the 13% eBay cut has pretty much always been there, I feel like its payment for the 👀. So very often eBay is king!

  @ebay - you need to fix this and keep the authentication team accountable for the lack of attention and care put into proccessing authentications and sending them to customers. This is incredibly disappointing and I will escalate this to whoever is running this division of Ebay

  Canadian🇨🇦 payments firm Nuvei has agreed to buy Payoneer for about 2.75 billion dollars in cash, paying 7.40 dollars per share in a deal aimed at building a single platform for both merchant payments and cross-border payouts. The offer is a 44 percent premium to Payoneer’s price before Reuters reported advanced talks, and values the company at roughly 2.26 billion dollars based on its market cap. The transaction is expected to close in mid 2027 pending Payoneer shareholder and regulatory approvals, and will combine Nuvei’s acceptance and processing business with Payoneer’s network for sending, holding and converting money in multiple currencies across 150 markets. The combined company expects to generate around 3 billion dollars in annual revenue and process more than 500 billion dollars in payment volume for 2.4 million customers. Executives say the deal addresses demand for unified infrastructure as commerce grows more complex, letting businesses accept payments, manage treasury and FX, issue cards and access stablecoin rails in one place. Payoneer brings regulatory licenses and clients including Amazon, Walmart, eBay and Airbnb, while Nuvei adds scale in merchant acquiring and embedded finance. Analysts note antitrust risk looks limited because the businesses are complementary, with little overlap in their core services. - World Business News.

  @ItsaMeCooper @beckettcollect There’s an operation out of China right now that duplicates the slab cases and finds cert numbers for high end cards, and puts a low quality version in their fake slab to sell on eBay. If you look up the cert it seems valid. A company I’m working with is actually working on a product to solve this issue. What will matter most is if the Centering on the cert image was the same. If that’s the case there is also a potential for it to have been a **** up rather than a downright fraud. Beckett has moved to using computer vision for centering checks recently, and as someone who has built his own home pre-grading rig, I’ll note that computer vision has a hard time with metallic edge looking cards, but especially cards where the front image layer (creature and UI) overlaps the border like this card does with its evolution information on the upper left and right of the card. That would still be no excuse and it should be reviewed carefully as the lack of image on the grading report is sus. But, mistakes, external fraud, or single rogue employee are all more likely than large sinister operation.

  BREAKING: @PayPal winds down venture arm as fintech giant restructures under new CEO PayPal is shuttering its 10-year-old venture team amid a broader corporate shakeup, according to five sources familiar with the matter. The fund’s headcount has shrunk from more than 10 in late 2025 to now only two, according to an archived version of the website for PayPal Ventures. Meanwhile, the page that listed the venture unit’s employees is no longer visible. PayPal is also exploring the sale of some of its positions on the secondary market and has hired the investment bank Jefferies to help with potential transactions, said one source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named while talking about private business dealings. PayPal established its venture arm in 2016, one year after eBay spun off the fintech into an independent company. Since then, PayPal Ventures, which invests off the fintech’s balance sheet, has backed more than 80 companies across three funds that total more than $850 million. Some of its more prominent bets include the fintech Plaid, the crypto custodian Anchorage Digital, and its exits include Bill com’s acquisition of the startup Divvy in 2021. The performance of the venture fund’s portfolio contributed 10 cents to PayPal’s $1.53 earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, as opposed to subtracting four cents in 2024, according to a February earnings release.

  @petriethedog I had hundreds. Over the years it got whittled down to 4 footlockers. Lost that about 15 years ago. Was sad but also liberating. I had been reading and collecting books since I was a boy. I got screwed selling a lot of it on ebay before an amtrack move from Boston to Orange County California in 2013.

  Ebay seller that combine S1/S2/Update (inserts) (parallels) in drop down menus are so easy to avoid when searching players... Often times the card(s) (you) are after have been sold but the search still picks up the listing... I get why sellers do it, but as a buyer, it's easy to move on to an individual listing...

  @TheRealXShadesX @CanonCsa Cohen pretty much confirmed this by saying he wants long term shareholders on that tech podcast he did the first media go-round. RK saw an opportunity, price came all the way back to the Feb '21 low. I believe RK is simply waiting for the best possible risk to reward which would be like $17.70... Though I'm not convinced we ever see that again, especially now that the $2B share repurchase exists. Maybe RK is ready to recognize that, maybe not. Unlike before, GameStop is in a REALLY healthy state and everyone can see it's undervalued by normal metrics. The narrative to justify the price right now is "potential eBay dilution". Yes there are fears that Cohen could start diluting down here in an attempt to acquire eBay but I honestly don't think that should be a concern. $30+ sure, but not down here near lows. His call options on ebay are for 2028, he has time and is clearly patient.

  I'm an electrical contractor. So maybe I can speak here a little. Very often pricing is a mafia structure between very few vendors. Here in Florida, lighting is ridiculous. For the same build-out, I will get a $23k lighting quote as "alternatives to spec" that are legit the same products, just a different brand, and the spec'ed lights will get quoted at $64k. Now for your breaker. I personally will not buy a breaker from Amazon or eBay. This is personal. There's likely no issue, but I will pay 3x more through my vendors due to relationships with them, trust with them, certain guarantees through them. Yes, this will get passed onto the customer, but generally 3 phase bigger breakers like this control things that cost money each time they're shut down or require scheduling to shut down. Imagine if I send an employee into a... Grocery store..or something overnight since they can't shut down during the day. My Amazon/eBay breaker fails during this overnight shut down. Now I'm just the cheap *** contractor trusting Amazon and eBay to save a couple hundred $, that now costed me thousands and will require another shut down, logistics etc etc. It sucks, sorry you had to deal with this. My hyperbolic story isn't always true, but I've ran into your breaker price range a few times and usually.. it's the electrical wholesale mafia setting the price because they know we'll pay for it.

  @XRPee1983 I did with a copy of Super Mario Sunshine. The listing claimed it had no scratches & was tested. That was a load of bull because the damn thing was so scratched to hell that neither the Gamecube or Wii could read it. Ebay forced the seller to accept the return & issue a refund.

  @TCGPokePlug @eBay Whatnot is the closest site to take down eBay, but sadly it's filled with scammers, and that turns off buyers. Until we get a legitimate alternative eBay and their fees, and their shipping scams, and their counterfeit items will unfortunately have to suffice.

  I think still possible even though it broke that latest low. Hmm so if GME was going down the whole time it increased its ebay holdings, what happens if they sell and net profit? Could be why Koss was popping back up, pricing in GME selling ebay options. 🤔 KCS

  @sneedweb I don’t understand why you’re still posting about eBay. The stock is down 20% since the offer. He doesn’t have anywhere near the cash or equity to finance this deal. The most cash he could get from the combined cashflow is like $7-8b, max. You’re watching this like it’s a damn tennis match. If eBay agreed today, he couldn’t do it, unless they gave him half the company. It’s a bluff, buddy. Stop talking about it. It’s not happening.
