hdreams713 (@H_Dreams713) reported@Kyl0Z3n Not tank, both will stay range bound though. If there’s a filing from RCs pledged $500M I’d assume inverse action with GME trending down and eBay up. NFA of course 🫡

Parenting Mishmash 𓊧 ۗۗۗۗۗ💜 (@ParentMishmash) reported@JamieMc46313002 @ScooterCasterNY An AirBoss PAPR off eBay is a good option for babies, Zimi 95S or 7711 are good options for toddlers and school kids, see my pinned tweet for more good kids options, but the problem is they are all from other countries due to NIOSH’s focus solely on adults

Lodoghir (@Lodoghir) reported@EdLudlow Ask why he famously said: "You won't find us talking a big game, making a bunch of lofty promises or telegraphing our strategy to the competition." And yet is now doing exactly that by shouting the ways eBay can fix the company. Is he overconfident? Or does he know something?

Rueda (@ruedaoj) reportedHonestly I believe Ryan wants the deal done before GTA 6 comes out , I believe off the NFT market place they beta tested wallets created and infrastructure they had in place already with the deals they had with multiple web 3 games , he already has the frame work , eBay would 100 x the outcome of this work especially with the frenzy GTA 6 would create. @ryancohen already has the monopoly on gaming past with retro gaming consoles and $GME stores still holding physical software and hardware , he will having future gaming in lock down with the digital market place he already has created once again $EBAY just 100x this with the number of sellers and amount of inventory. He wants to deal done before November 2026.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedMost e-commerce sellers have no idea what competitors are charging right now. They find out tomorrow—if they're lucky. Built CompeteIQ to fix that. Monitors competitor prices across Amazon, eBay, Walmart 24/7 and automatically adjusts yours based on rules you set.

Phoenixxl ⛔ (@Phoenixxl) reported@Hitchslap1 I actually buy the exact same model on ebay every time one pops up . Every 5-10 years I replace it after the cobbler can't fix it anymore obviously.

Rupert wilson (@Oxfordite) reported@AmazonHelp That's a stupid answer; I buy on eBay, from an unemployed young Columbian engineer 'in London', it arrives from Amazon, fulfilled by Diane Evans.. He later claims he has "a warehouse with Amazon", wants the error item 'returned' to him near the Costa del Crime in Spain. "Normal"?

Tim Lessard (@TimLessard1) reported@staypredictable @ryancohen what, they don't have any more bear thesis then? This is all mainstream has got to be negative on?? LOL "no details" The fking company is the most profitable in HISTORY, and is about to make a hostile bid to shareholders of Ebay and.... the issue is no details ?

Packo (@Packo0417) reported@LorcanaVillain The game hasn't been a rocket a all , neither has Pokemon as a game , it all comes down to ebay sellers

Richard Slack (@xRichardSlack) reported@eBay if I order something and the courier loses it for a week and, the new promised delivery date is so late that I have already had to purchase a replacement for the item I haven’t received, why is it my problem? Whatever happens now I am losing money and you are getting rich!

charlottemunster (@lottemunsterttv) reported@BlackJack_calls My friend was in queue for 6 hours. And then it loads an error page. It's such BS. I found one on eBay and got it for him, it's a huge markup but he deserves it.

Wolfgang Hauser 📯 (@badnerland9) reported@eigen_moomin It's not a German problem but an American: you expect a normal average processing to receive maximum rating on a 5 level scale. So no way to reward better than average or (restaurant) high value-price ratio. Same **** with eBay.

Jose Rodriguez (@JoseRodriguez) reportedI’ve started the down the deep dark path of buying One Piece TCG PSA slabs on eBay. This is no bueno. It’s spiraling 🌀.

Scott Shapiro (@ScottShapiroUXD) reportedyesterday i used Seedance to generate AI models for eBay product listings. clothes on AI-generated bodies. clean shots, good lighting, no photographer needed. it worked. really well actually. and then i sat with it for a minute. because there's a line here that nobody's drawing clearly. when does AI-generated product imagery cross from useful shortcut to something that erodes trust in what you're actually buying? i spent years as a UX designer before i started building AI tools. the core principle that stuck with me: users make decisions based on what the interface tells them is real. if the interface doesn't distinguish between a photo and a generation, the user can't either. now i'm deep in Claude Code loop engineering. designing agent workflows where the AI decides what to do next without asking me. every loop needs a visible checkpoint where the user can see what happened and why. that's the design problem. the safety conversation needs more people who've actually built those checkpoints, because right now the trust layer is getting designed by people who've never watched a user stare at an AI output and wonder if it's real.

James Griffiths (@JamesGr90508074) reportedIs anybody else having issues getting their money paid from @eBay was supposed to be paid and they’re saying there are technical issues and sellers are being affected.

Justin Scott (@jrs_dev) reported@Pokemon The Pokemon Center website is the biggest let down. I made it through your queue twice, only to have the website kick me out, twice! So instead of your items going to someone who wants to collect the 30th anniversary sets, the items are being scalped up and are on eBay for $500 and ETB. As big of a company as you are, you should be doing better.

Rich Honor (@BhonerRich6969) reported@Hot_Pepper76 I was doing atmospheric chemistry research at the time Mel was filming Apocalypto in the rain forest of Mexico. Our team was staying in the same Veracruz hotel as Mel, his family and his crew were in. Mel and his crew were touring the bars every night along the Gulf coast near Veracruz and we ran into them often but I totally left them alone as some of my crew members drooled all over him. In my spare time, I was climbing volcanoes across Mexico and doing a photographic project, shooting windows and doors on the old buildings of Veracruz. One Saturday morning, my camera and I were headed out of the motel to explore and Mel ran past me to the valet. He dropped an ID and I grabbed it and yelled at him but he was undeterred. As he got into the driver's seat, I put the ID against the window of the passenger's door. He flipped me off and drove away like a bat out of hell. I put the ID in my wallet, planning to drop it off at the hotel desk. Or maybe sell it on eBay... About 20 seconds later, he drove up to me like a bat in a more polite hell and rolled down his window, saying: "I'm such an *******." I gave him the ID and he drove away like a bat out of Hollywood Hell. Truth, in all details.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedOnline sellers lose the buy box to faster bots every day. RepriceIQ monitors competitor prices across Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and more — then adjusts your pricing automatically in real time. Never lose margin to a slow spreadsheet again.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 161 Total sales: $606.70 Buy cost (COG): $81.84 eBay earnings: $323.05 Net profit: $241.21 ROI: 294% 6 item day. One lesson that's become clearer over the last 161 days is that protecting your downside is just as important as maximizing your upside. Every purchase is a decision about risk. If I can buy quality inventory at a fraction of its market value, I give myself room for shipping costs, fees, offers, & the occasional broken item without putting the business at risk. Today's sales included automotive parts, plumbing tools, UTV accessories, industrial pumps, & HDMI cables. Different categories. Different buyers. Same philosophy. The better you buy, the more resilient your business becomes. Profit starts long before an item sells. It starts the moment you decide what you're willing to pay. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

T (@TheRealT7777777) reported@atlanta_cards I never once have I gotten a replacement or redemption from Topps in a toploader with surface issues. The card had a large dimple bottom left.. I took pictures with my phone golf the card at the angle of the photo on eBay and sure enough I couldn’t see any issues

The Floppy Taco (@The_Floppy_Taco) reported@eBay has a serious problem with it’s AI flagging listings for PRESALE violations that couldn’t be more in-policy. Maybe let your inept AI flag a possible “violation” & have human eyes verify before pulling it. You make BILLIONS through your sellers, DO BETTER.

kelly (@kelly_neifert) reported@unusual_whales The goal is ambitious, but eBay isn't just standing idly by waiting to be overtaken. Ultimately, it comes down to whether GameStop can deliver a genuine business model

King Contrarian (@King_Contrarian) reported@eBay I just want you to know that selling cards on eBay is ridiculous because the eBay standard envelopes people just take advantage of the fact that when the post service has it, they don’t scan it as delivered. So what am I supposed to do when my customers that I sell cards to say they never received the card and it was already confirmed to be with the Postal Service? We’re having a bunch of people just saying that and they do NOT have the cards that’s the thing so then I have to refund them and then I have to get a refund from eBay for the $20 protection of the card getting “lost in the mail” This is systematically broken.
