Winstoncup Wolf (@Winstoncupwolf) reportedSo since you don’t seem to understand the beef here @LsTdiecast I’ll lay it out. You killed Kstate, and by being a hypocrite which makes it considerably worse. You can deny it but the screenshots don’t lie. The timing doesn’t lie. You narc’d on them for “scalping” when they were selling for UNDER recently sold eBay prices, and in fact we’re refunding people who WERENT scalping. So they were doing more to combat scalping than your whining like a ***** on here does. But even if they WERENT, it’s ok for you and your “buddy” to justify prices by “recently sold” on eBay. While you criticize and encourage people to harass anybody else selling at a price YOU don’t agree with even if it’s in line with recently sold. That’s hypocrisy. Literally hypocrisy to a T. It’s ok for you and your buddies to sell off recently sold prices but nobody else? And on that same note, you telling people on here to harass eBay sellers is out of line and chickenshit. You try to bully people into selling THEIR stuff for the price YOU wanna pay. That’s not how it works. You don’t get to dictate what somebody sells THEIR item for by trying to force them. Even worse when you do it in the faggoty way of trying to have others do it because you’re a *****. You sure as hell are whining and crying like a **** now with me coming at you..you don’t like it huh? What about all those eBay users you’ve campaigned to harass? No fun when it comes back huh, *******? Thirdly, you always come on here telling everybody to preorder so stuff hits MOQ….then why didn’t YOU preorder? More hypocrisy. Telling people to do **** YOU won’t even do. You’re just mad people are t giving you **** for free. Don’t forget about when you tried to get me to give you **** for free. You’re just not willing to pay. If somebody else is willing to pay more, they get it. That’s how free markets work. Just because you’re a spoiled little ***** doesn’t mean the world owes you anything. You want it, ante up or shut ******** up. The guy who’s willing to pay more obviously wants it more than you then. Your problem Is you THINK you’re some BSD that can bully people into giving you **** for what you want it for but the way you’ve been crying from the light pushback I’ve given you, you’re clearly a giant *****. Cry more about “being uncomfortable”, ******, when you’ve harassed multiple others.

Palouse Puma (@WenBananas) reported@foxenflask I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Legacy e-commerce is usually slow to adapt to new efficiencies in the market. I imagine eBay is loaded with overhead employees, employees who are stuck with outdated knowledge, legacy outdated systems, old code pipelines, old technical stacks… that if you put the right people in there to analyze and execute modernizing you can do a lot in a short amount of time. He’s referenced “less is more” many times, and this is an instance where finding and focusing on talent density within the latest technical frameworks can really propel both cost reduction and implementation of new revenue engines. I imagine there is a TON of opportunity here with eBay.

Novara Media (@novaramedia) reportedEbay has been ordered to pay a $55.7m settlement to an American couple over a harassment campaign by company executives which included doxing, online threats and the delivery of live cockroaches to their home. The orchestrated campaign, which lasted for two months in the summer of 2019, was waged against husband and wife David and Ina Steiner by six eBay employees and one contractor. The couple were targeted after posting criticism of eBay’s corporate and policy changes on their newsletter and website EcommerceBytes, which is popular among eBay sellers, Wired reported. The campaign began with anonymous threats via Twitter DMs before ramping up to malicious deliveries to the Steiner family home. Items sent to the couple included pornography, a bloody pig mask, pests such as fly larvae, live spiders and cockroaches, a book about grieving a spouse and a funeral wreath. Ebay employees had the Steiners trailed in a rented van and posted fake classified ads on Craigslist advertising a ******* party, a ********* and a yard sale with their home address. After the police were contacted, the harassment campaign tailed off as those involved sought to conceal their actions. Former eBay CEO Devin Wenig told Wired via a representative that he was “saddened” by the harassment. He has continually asserted that he had no knowledge of the specific actions taken by the group who carried out the campaign. Wenig is alleged to have given former eBay chief communications officer Steve Wymer the order to “take her down,” in reference to Ina Steiner. However, his lawyers claim he was referring to a communications plan and not any criminal behaviour, a claim supported by court documents according to Wired. Six former eBay staff and a contractor were charged with taking part in the campaign in 2020. The Steiners followed with a civil suit the following year. The case has now reached a final settlement which will award the Steiners more than $46.15m from eBay, $2m from former CEO Devin Wenig, $500,000 from former executive Wendy Jones, and $50,000 from former executive Steve Wymer. David Steiner told Wired: “We were really adamant that this type of behaviour by a Fortune 500 corporation didn’t go unchecked.” In a published statement, eBay said that what the Steiners were subjected to was “wrong, reprehensible and should never have happened,” and that the company had strengthened its policies, controls and training since the incident.

Kyd Alanious (@ItsThatKyd) reported@LipDisksMatter3 @outtatime200028 @Dexerto I don't think anyone needs $56 million, I just don't care that two people got it from eBay that much. Like it just doesn't even register to me it's so insignificant an issue.

Ancalagon's Bane (@aquiloniandream) reportedI still have a libertarian devil on my shoulder whispering in my ear “don’t support anti-market policies” but, when it comes to consumption, I think we’re spent as a civilization. My son’s birthday is this week and every present we bought him was vintage; toys from the 90s movies he loves + an old leap pad off of eBay. Nothing made in the last 20 years. Not a drop of that spending contributed to increasing GDP. Every young person’s apartment is filled with cardboard furniture. Nobody has oak dinner tables or bookshelves inherited from their grandparents anymore. Everything is cheap and flimsy. Every couch and chair is from ikea. The first couch my wife and I had in our apartment from Target didn’t even have cushions; just plastic air bubbles wrapped in fabric. Consumption has to slow down so that our quality of life can increase. We need fewer, better, longer lasting commodities. It’s not like we’re at the bottom of the slide; things will continue to get cheaper, and worse. The only way to stop it is to shock the markets with tariffs and growing American manufacturing (of everything) at alarming rates. We will soon reach a time where being pro-global markets will be in stark contrast with being pro-human dignity, and pro-civilization. I’m close to saying we’re already there.

Richard Johnson (@skuxy18) reported@foxenflask fair, £101m revenue and £42m operating loss is dog ****. The trends are clearly moving in the right direction (tripled revenue since 2021 and falling operating loss). Would like to see those percentages accelerate if eBay doesnt ruin it with terrible marketing

Redneck Rogue Elf, 🐿 Whisperer (@TheRogue_Elf) reported@OriginalRoddick @eBay I remember when my father and I stopped using @eBay. It was in 2011 and we had gotten, not one, but two reviews and accusations of fraud for us reselling refurbished laptops we bought and rebuilt ourselves. The last one the guy sent us the laotp back but with a broken screen. Ebay did jack all, didn't remove the negative reviews after all the evidence showing they were malicious and fake reviews, and started screwing with our listing. I was not selling the laptops for profit. I made at most $10 on each one. I was rebuilding them for raw experience as I was trying to get an IT job. Thankfully I did get a job a few months later.

andrew engler (@aerockrose) reportedMeg Whitman explains eBay's 70% monthly growth problem. "When I joined eBay... there were 30 employees." "The company was growing at 70% compound monthly growth rate." "February, the company was 70% bigger than it was in January." Her job was to find the driver and avoid smothering it. "How do you figure out what is driving that growth, and then do more of it?" "Then try to mature the company, but only at the right pace." "You don't want to put too much structure, too much procedures... in a very entrepreneurial company." They had about nine months to get ready for an IPO. I learned a version of this building digital products at Argo. Process earns its place when it helps the team see the real driver faster. If it only makes a young system look mature, it can bury the signal that created the growth. - Meg Whitman at Stanford eCorner

Black Page (@WorldNEWS0_) reportedEBay, former executives to pay $56 million to couple sent cockroaches in harassment campaign EBay and three former top executives have agreed to pay $55.7 million to resolve a lawsuit by a Massachusetts couple who fell victim to a bizarre stalking and harassment campaign carried out by several of its employees in retaliation for their coverage of the e-commerce company in a newsletter they publish. David and Ina Steiner announced the settlement late on Monday, bringing an end to a case they filed in 2021 in Boston federal court after several former eBay employees were prosecuted for targeting them in a cyber-stalking campaign that involved sending the couple cockroaches, fly larvae and a bloody Halloween pig mask. As part of the settlement, eBay agreed to pay $46.15 million to the couple; fund $6 million in charitable contributions to nonprofit organizations; and issue a “strongly-worded” statement about the conduct of three of its top former executives. “We believe this resolution sends a clear message that corporations and their executives cannot engage in this type of misconduct without facing significant consequences,” Christopher Murphy, the Steiners’ attorney, said in a statement. EBay said in a statement that what happened to the Steiners was “wrong, reprehensible and should never have happened.”

Luke NY Skywalker (@RocStar81) reportedHey @eBay, put the search bar back at the top. This is clunky and weird. Why mess with something that isn’t broken or needing of change? The suggestions it put at the top when I’m trying to search were also unhinged.

DDubbbz (@ddubbz918) reported@aceofcards89 @RobsRips They gave their customers the option to move their consignments to their booth instead of eBay. Definitely not a great error to make, but of all the people in this hobby, I'd trust Josh & Zach at PC with my life. If something happened, they'd go above & beyond to make it right.
