Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Mark Cleg (@Mark_Cleg) reported@cynnoble They should make Rule of Rose cheaper as they found shipments of copies not that long ago and the prices came tumbling down for the game. It can be commonly found on eBay for okay-ish prices (depending on location), I guess they didn't get the memo.
-
Ace (@Hydra_Paradox1) reported@Stndst1lL_wiL @Dexerto You probably ain’t gonna get the card sent to you eBay will probably just end up refunding your money to you and taking down the listing
-
Sunny Po (@sunny051488) reported@RyanTheInsider @CoFoundersNik It’s the same as eBay basically. Terrible for sellers.

Sports Card Radio (@SportsCardRadio) reported@SBCards25 I would go one seller at a time. Look at each step as its own isolated process. Just like a science experiment, each step has to be done in isolation before moving to the next step. So it can be: Find listings from DCSports for "Ken Griffey, Mike Trout, PSA 9 or above" Provide that link, since that never changes. Return results to DB Then find the listings on Probstein, returns to DB. Then from the DB it renders the decision how much to bid Then outputs that to snipe tool Then directs snipe tool for bidding Claude is going to be slow, and in some ways that's good. If it's a logged in browser request, eBay will bot detect it pretty quick, so you actually want it navigating somewhat methodically.

Ricky Agrawal (@thevraa) reported@dannolan hey man those prices look terrible i think you can get cheaper $/tb from ebay, i just grabbed some used toshibas with 0 bad sectors (long test verified)

Aoka (@aokanio) reportedthe xp pen tablet got refurbished on ebay is great, no problems so far
-
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!

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.

Trend Rover (@TrendRoverHQ) reported@Dexerto eBay cracking down and removing early listings for Pokémon's 30th Anniversary cards under their stolen property policy... wild to see cards leaking this early. 🃏 If you collect or follow TCG news, come check out the pinned posts on my profile!
-
MB (@AverageSavageMB) reported@eBay really has gotta fix their payment system. No joke, I literally have to update the use of my bank account or debit card EVERYTIME I want to withdrawal funds. It’s so damn annoying man.
-
The Great Sage, PhD (@ShriekingNoises) reported@willyiamm There’s a weird way to put up listings that seems to “hide” them from automoderation on eBay? I noticed it ever since they cracked down on methacarbomol resellers.
-
Jamie Mcullough 🇺🇦🇺🇸 (@JamieMcullough) reportedThe problem is you don’t understand accounting. You’re just looking at revenue. I can resell **** all day on eBay but if I pay $100 for it and sell it for $105, how much did I really make?
-
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 ;)

tess (@nunshabit) reported@TheWarRoomNZ 'Castle Doctrine'.... covered under S 55 of The Crimes Act. We have window-decals placed all round our house depicting a Cowboy on horseback holding a rifle in the air. Text reads.... "INSURED BY WINCHESTER" Never once have we been broken into. Got them off ebay.

Edward Herrel (@haskell420) reported@CardPurchaser The fees, incl taxing shipping cost, and the blatant posting of fake, bootleg merch, posters, etc., that eBay sure DNGAF about taking down.
-
Matt (@DigbySkankPants) reported@pokemartalerts Should apply to all new sets amount of times you see PC preorders go live within 5 mins eBay are flooded with confirmed preorder listings. Ban private seller accounts shouldn’t doing this combat the issue of scalping
-
Mitchell Coffman (@Bobs_Buddy) reported@simar_nathan I bought the issue of Playboy she was (naked) in. You can probably find one one Amazon or Ebay.

Zyphor (@Zyphorrl) reportedThe professor who designed America's health insurance system covering 330 million people teaches this class for free on YouTube. His students have gone on to advise governments, run hedge funds, and build policy at the World Bank. This is lecture 1. In 1776 Adam Smith asked why diamonds cost more than water. Water keeps you alive. Diamonds do not. The demand for water is enormous. The demand for diamonds is small. By any rational logic, water should cost more. He was wrong about what he was measuring. This is Jonathan Gruber, MIT 14.01, Microeconomics. The man who built the mathematical model behind Obamacare and Romneycare. The man who testified before Congress six times. He now teaches the most foundational idea in economics to anyone willing to watch. Smith's error was looking at only half the picture. He saw demand. He missed supply. Water is everywhere. Diamonds are rare. When supply is low enough, even something nobody needs can cost more than something everyone needs. That single insight became the foundation of every economic model ever built - and every career in finance, policy, and consulting that depends on it. He opens with opportunity cost. Every decision you make has a cost. Not just the money you spend. The thing you did not do instead. If you buy a rose for $3, you gave up a slice of pizza and a Coke. If the price rises to $4, the opportunity cost rises too. You want fewer. That is why demand curves slope downward. Not because of some law. Because of what you gave up. Then supply. A farm can grow roses or something else. When the price of roses is low, the farmer grows something else. When the price rises high enough, roses become the better choice. The opportunity cost of not growing roses becomes too high. That is why supply curves slope upward. Then the equilibrium. Two equations, two unknowns. Demand: quantity equals 1,800 minus 400 times price. Supply: quantity equals 200 times price. Set them equal. You get 600 roses at $3 each. At that price, buyers are willing to pay and sellers are willing to sell. The system has come to rest. Then the kidney on eBay. Someone auctioned one in the 1990s. Bidding reached $5 million before eBay shut it down. The positive question: why did the price get so high? Easy. Enormous demand, almost no supply. The normative question: should we be allowed to sell our organs? The market delivers the right quantity. It does not deliver fairness. Watch the moment he says economics is fundamentally a right-wing science. Then says he is a left-wing guy. Then explains why both things can be true at the same time. A policy analyst I know rewatched this before their first week at a government economics office. Said it was the first time supply and demand felt like a lens rather than a diagram. Free on YouTube, MIT OpenCourseWare, Creative Commons license. bookmark this and watch later - after this lecture every price you see will feel like a supply and demand equation waiting to be solved

BaBellew (@BaBellew) reported@CardGameNomad Do booster box prices tank if the distributor charges almost $400 before it even gets to the LGS? Ridiculous Pokemon company allows that kind of greed. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they took down an ebay listing of an unreleased card. But seems small potatoes in comparison.
-
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.

New Millennium Cyanide Biden (@punishedcornpop) reported@afrocosmist Nothing wrong with used server drives. I've been running 2 HGST helium filled 10TB I got for $100 per on ebay for quite a while now. My NAS is a HP EliteDesk i7-6700 I got for $70. I use Unraid and Jellyfin and it runs pretty flawlessly.
-
J (@jasan2917) reported@AMCTheatres @CEOAdam While you're cracking down on EBAY scalpers, could you also enforce a no water bottle/canister ban on all theaters? (We all know they bring them in and refill them at the Freestyle stations without paying) Why am I paying more for their theft?
-
LSTNSCRFN (@LsTdiecast) reportedUpdate…. You might wanna sell customs privately altogether NASCAR is going door to door shutting down people’s eBay accounts for selling customs.
-
#1987 Os Topps rack pack quest (@ripkenfan) reportedAnyone else have issues w/ @CheckOutMyCards not sending cards won on ebay and/or not responding to messages sent via "Contact Sell"? I had 3 cards in the past month w/ no tracking info & no response to multiple messages. I had to ask ebay to step in. Does one leave (-) feedback?
-
Paul Hensley (@KCPaulHens) reported@HSkeptical @tommy2lightning @karenvaites You think kids these days care about their grades?! This is the problem! Teachers still think that the grade is the inspiration. Teachers don’t inspire anymore. They’re the low rung on the ladder. Why would kids listen when their buddy is reselling kicks on eBay making $1m/year.

M3tr0n01d - SLURturabo (@m3tr0n01d) reportedSeeing the crying coming from "Black Library collector" circles because all of the "special editions" ended up on eBay - again, 3rd time this week... You guys are the problem. Stop whining, petitioning and realize that artificial scarcity is what GW wants.
-
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!
-
Kenan Fernsby (@KenanFernsby) reported@HustleBitch_ The so and so’s even use non conventional fasteners and so on to stop you trying to fix a car yourself. Here’s the thing with the CEL though: buy an OBD2 WiFi plug in off eBay for $10 and download a free app. Read and reset “fault codes” to your heart’s content. For free👍
-
KillahKali707 (@Killahkali7o7) reported@ObjIFDividends As much as they suck if you deny it they will prob try and do an inad next id probably just take the return and relist since its only 10$ . How has your eBay account been the last couple months ? I went from 7-10 sales a week to maybe 1-3 and had a two week span in July with no sales it's been slow it seems

Bradson (@Bradsongeye) reportedCaller: “Dave… I’m 16. I’m making $50–80k a month dropshipping and flipping on Amazon/eBay. I’ve got over $300k sitting in PayPal right now. But I’m hiding all of it from my mom because she’s traditional and I know she’ll freak out and make me stop.” Dave: “Son, that income is impressive as hell. If you were my kid I’d tell you to keep running it while the window is open. But the secret? That part’s not sitting right with me. Find one adult you both respect, sit down, and have the grown-up conversation. And while this money is printing, start stacking real skills and education, because internet trends don’t last forever. You’re crushing it right now. Don’t let the lie become the thing that sinks you.”
