***** Kaperki (@carjdun) reported@SecretService On January 9 2013, Howard County MD, Agent Scott Windish and Agent Nick Jonte and 1 More agent came from Baltimore downtown Secret Service headquarters, blackmailed us saying that we will shut down your business account if you don’t give us the money in your bank account because of 2 stolen phones we purchased from eBay without any knowledge . Agent Scott Windish then opened my car glove box and took 3k cash and took my phone on the way to Wells Fargo and we waited at the Wells Fargo waiting for the teller in line for 10 min and he made me say the teller write a 39.000 dollars cashiers check under SECRET SERVICE and after they took me to STARBUCKS and made me sign paperworks… Need our money back 39k was seized as check , 3 k cash and 15 attorney fees .

Dan Wolfe 🐺 (@danthewolfe) reportedPeople are selling these on eBay for a few hundred dollars. Is it possible you could find a way to make a quick buck without breaking kids hearts. Two giant thumbs down. I hope @vancanadians gets those kids two bobble heads.

xrtz.base.eth 📺🐂 (awoo arc) (@xrtzbase) reportedThe market has already voted: GME is down ~28% since the bid was floated in May, while eBay is up over that stretch. Investors clearly aren’t loving the “buy a company 5-6x your size” plan.

Latent Local (@latentlocal) reportedSo, it seems @Apple 's only options for leasing are through @Klarna , eh? Let me regale you with my experience with Klarna. This is back in April. I notice eBay is running a special w/Klarna to get ~$100 off (or something similar) on an item I was interested in. So, I go through checkout, select Klarna yada yada yada. Well, that process didn't work so I had to sign up direct through Klarna. Ok, fine. Easy enough. Name, address SSN etc done and done. Go back to pay on eBay. It fails. Doesn't work. No reason. Just says "Try again or use different card." I do. Nothing. Contact service. They capped my limit at $1k (my item was more). In the meantine, items sold. Ok fine. Try eBay again for an item less. Same problem. Call them. Same deal (try different card or options). None work. I get an email from them saying payment didn't work because they can't verify me. Can't verify me?!?! They have: -My name, phone number, email, home address, social security number...WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T VERIFY ME?!?!? They want me to take a photo of my drivers license and send it to them. Keep in mind, this is presented to me over the phone to support, it honestly felt a little sketch. So, I didn't do it. I wanted a more official way to submit those via the app. Eventually, I did. Ok. *NOW* it should work. Tried again. Nope! Called. They said, "Oh your name has to match exactly on drivers lic and maybe that's why the system can't verify me." Oooooook. Mind you, it was, but we'll try again. Of course, *I* can't change that. So, I had to call and get them to change it on their end. Ok. Everything submitted, they've got all my info, name checked I'm good, yeah? NOPE! Payment failed again. So, the next support (called again, of course!) said, "Well if the payment plans fail, I need history of purchases so I should just buy the item outright." Ok, use Klarna to just buy the item in full? Sure, why not? Well, guess what? That wasn't an option I could select. No option, no card would work (tried 4 different cards). So, I tried to escalate. Eventually, I did get an escalation ticket (2, I think) assigned. They never looked at them despite me pestering. This was already like a 2 weeks of my time and trouble to try and get A SINGLE PURCHASE TO WORK with countless calls, chat sessions, etc. Needless to say, I was over it. So, naturally, I asked to delete my account. THEY COULDN'T. You know why? Because I had *an active complaint* with Klarna lol. So, the complaint I filed that they wouldn't look at which lead me to wanting to close my account blocked me from closing my account. I eventually lost my temper and sent them an email, and they finally closed my account.

AkioSpider (@AkioSpiderTSS) reported@minaunlovable Is it general gift card or company specific cuz eBay and Amazon sell good condition refurbished for decent prices. Also used CPUs good too but bit riskier, I never had problems w used CPUs tho.

Impressive (@RocketSymbols) reportedI'm seeing some speculation that Ryan Cohen is preparing to return the money on the zero interest loans at the close of the 35 day conversion period which is why the stock is continuing to trend down. I didn't believe this at first but after seeing the vice grip the indenture put on the potential eBay deal it actually does make some sense that he would completely clean the slate, albeit keep $1.4b through equity conversion.

Trash Cat Magnet (@KoF__HM04) reportedOrdered a card on eBay and the seller DMd me and said “thanks for the order, I’m guessing you’re a Gogeta fan?” brother I’m just trying to play a broken deck and this card is unfair lmao

Anonymousconservativ (@rK_Politics) reported@BigDwoowoo @NTSurvivors I hate to say it but I think the Bar Association was taken over by them, to control who is allowed to practice law, and now all lawyers seem to cut you off at mention of the word "surveillance." If you are motivated, you could go Pro-se, and use a specialist AI like Courtroom 5. You can talk to it like me, and it will tell you step by step what to do, and churn out all the paperwork you would need. But you are going to need hard evidence. The best evidence I think you will get will come from getting a thermal camera like maybe a Goyojo monocular on a tripod (as low as a few hundred on EBAY), set it up to record you while you sleep, and put a layer of foil on top of paper towels (to keep it cool) over you. The beam should heat the foil, and in my case I have a nice image of a TEM-02 or TEM-03 laser bloom actively focusing on the foil, and from how it skims, you can show it is coming from the neighbor's house. You will get discovery, and from there you can get creative. But it will be an uphill battle for now. IMO, things are changing, and in one to three years, I predict there are national revelations of massive criminality in the IC, and the legal terrain will shift massively in our favor. At that point the biggest problem will be waiting to get heard, among all the cases against all the surveillance people. Hang tough brother.

Branden Kaline (@BKGaming9000) reported@RNGingy I’d just not buy from anyone. Don’t support it. FOMO is a hell of a drug. Pokemon center came out and said, to eBay atleast, to take down some pre-orders as no distributors have sent out products yet and all product in hands should be considered stolen since street date is 9/16

Henry NeoRobo (@_NeoRobo) reported@ScarletSprites @eBay The negative feed back I’ve gotten on my flamethrowers are also dumb user error. One person said they couldn’t figure out how to contact me on eBay of course eBay sided with them when I requested it be revised since it’s not my fault they can’t use eBay’s UI…

0xJamesMadison_DFS (@badvalla40301) reported@Xaraphim This guy seems retarded.... Mac's are not made to be server hardware... But then again he can sell them on eBay after using them as an AI inference cluster and people won't know that it is 500x more likely to fail now

Jaz: 🧛♀️ ISO Fang Daddy 🧛♂️ (@KaraAbheri1) reported@DollyD1saster Bruh i was gutted coz it's my bias line 😩 you know what I did, though? I got pissed off, gave them 7 days to apologise, they doubled down instead, so what did I do? Pulled all their merch from my collection and deleted them from all my playlists. Gonna list my merch on ebay 🙃

Workin' on my knight moves (@lain816460) reported@PeakHobby Sometimes these takedown requests are fake. I got banned from eBay once due to fake takedowns from a competitor. Not sure that's what's happening but don't be surprised if you find that only one or two sellers left standing after everything gets taken down.

Vernaculist (@vernaculist) reported@Wefactcheckedit @ebay is terrible, do NOT SELL ON EBAY, you will lose money

Gulf Coast Sports Cards (@GulfCardCo) reportedQuick heads up: Over the weekend I had an inventory glitch that caused roughly half of my 7,000 listings to be removed on eBay and CollX. The company I use for inventory management has since completed a bulk restore, and most everything appears to be back where it should be, but I’m still finding a few oddities here and there. If you happen to come across a card in my store that shows unavailable, looks out of place, or seems like something isn’t right with the listing, please let me know. I’d appreciate the extra set of eyes while I finish getting everything cleaned up. 🔎 Find Your Next Favorite Card.

Eamonn Gaines (@EamonnGaines) reported@collected_mind I am doing the same with an ebay listing; a glitch is being ironed out but if I refresh every 30 seconds it will make things happen more quickly!

Marginalized Bigot (@GrowlyGrr) reportedHey @usmint You're website sucks! You let a bunch of bots from India buy out the stock before Americans even get the chance to buy anything. Plus the waiting screen was working at 11:30am and then kicked me out and brought me back 11:58am. Then at 12pm it's was a 20 minute wait that kept going UP! Fix your site and stop letting shady foreign coin sellers jack up the prices on ebay. Let only people in America get the new releases first. It's just freaking quarters! You should have tens of thousands! How the HELL do you sell out in 15 minutes!?

kyrie (@dikosmoukyrios) reported@MerrickAnd Huh that’s weird. I got these two from two completely different eBay sellers. Perhaps it’s just a common factory error. But damn that also means I feasibly could have ended up with two of these engines with opposite-facing magnets to each other without having to switch anything!
-
kurkosdr (@kurkosdr) reported@0xiTweets @Sans_Google It has already had its logic board replaced once due to the well-known bootloop issue. I also have a Red Hydrogen One (yes, that weird overpriced phone with the stereoscopic 3D camera and stereoscopic 3D screen, but I got it on the cheap from eBay) as another Android 8.x device.

TB (@TBSSPORTSCARDSx) reportedIs @eBay card scanning totally broken? Anytime I scan a card it now does something completely way off or my last typed search

Slick Paper (@Slick_Paper) reported@CGC_SI @tohardtoocall Some lucky guy beat me to a newstand issue for $10 about a month ago on eBay. From the photos it looked like a solid 8, maybe better.

Xeno 👾🤖 KONTON (@XenomorphSlay3r) reported@FNAF_ScottGames Peak stop motion trailer. The only issue I have with these is the limited stock that keeps getting vacuumed up by scalpers, I cant find these ANYWHERE besides on ebay for triple the retail value. Its very frustrating cuz these are the best figures weve ever gotten
-
𝐁𝐒𝐏𝟑 (@RealBSP3) reported@Radios4Freedom @Nissan Yes. They told Ebay I was fraudulently selling an item (a used part from a 20 year old Infiniti), which not only removed the listing, but penalized my account. I'm not the only one. Nissan burned many bridges, and they'll never recover the enthusiasts who left, who were the only ones defending Nissan against criticism. I just went through a long Grok thing about it, because I had it examine my post for fun, but Nissan is in more trouble than it looks like they are. They're climbing the hill, but there's no bridge at the top to the next one, and nobody's going to step up to catch them when they tip over the next side.

Tung Nguyen (@tritonbear99) reportedAt 13, Vitalii Dodonov's father gave him a choice: pocket money, or a job packing parachutes at his drop zone. He took the job. It came with summers together. He is now CTO of Stan, which does about $30M a year with 30 people and takes 0% of what creators sell. Four things I learned from him at FounderHouse today. 1. At 17, studying in Canada meant roughly $100,000 in debt. He built an Excel sheet: salaries, living costs, repayment timelines, ten years out. The math said Canada. 2. He told his father he didn't speak English. His father said that was his problem. 3. He was not trained as a software engineer. He studied chemical engineering and computer process control, worked at Deloitte and eBay, then taught himself to build. 4. Late 2022, at roughly $1M ARR, he and John Hu deleted the transaction fee. Competitors were taking 10 to 20% of creator sales. Stan went to a flat subscription and creators kept the upside. Revenue grew 8.5x the following year. Today: $600M+ in creator earnings, 85,000 active creators. Outside capital: one $5M seed from Forerunner. Traditional advertising: none. He also still builds in public. He spent two weeks posting an AI agent on LinkedIn while he was building it. That agent became Stanley. It shipped in 14 days. Most technical leaders I know publish less as they get more senior. He does the opposite. When was the last time you published something before you had it figured out? Stanley is live. Try it yourself 👇

mozzwald (@mozzwald) reported@MakeAugusta I see no problem here. But, they could take those expensive screens off, sell them on ebay and make half their money back 🤑

Sophie✨🌙ぷちベア🔜 冬イドル東京 (@SophieBabyBear) reported@DaSluggySlug Again. I don’t know what that guy was referring to. He said something about how he receives great feedback so I honestly assumed he was using eBay or something. Of course it’s buyee that is causing the issues. Thats why so many sellers have buyee in particular blocked from purchasing.

patric hoi Mr.AverageNerd🇦🇹🇮🇪🏴 (@hoi81_hpi) reported@LikeToBeBossy Post 2027 you still can buy games from ebay, 2nd hand and for games released Post january 2028 ... a Switch 2 will solve this problem !! It sucks but at the end it doesnt matter if its a Nintendo copy or a Sony copy ... as long as it is a physical copy ;)

Scotty.D.Russell (@ScottyD_Russell) reported@okapzfgv That was my thoughts. What threw me off is how delayed TCG player still is in pricing with it going for like $120+ yet eBay is like $70 Wasn’t sure how playable Loki but felt TCG value would keep coming down w public release.
