  Speaking purely morally, disregarding the rules from ebay that you can't sell modded consoles—WHY DOES IT MATTER? The 3ds is officially a dead console. Nintendo doesn't offer replacement parts anymore, the eshop is dead, and all of the online features ARE SHUT DOWN

  The eBay "mass accidental shipping overpricing" event continues! Sellers accept incorrect default settings and unknowingly set USPS calculated shipping to $75-$200 for items that should ship for $20 via Fedex/UPS. None of these items are ever going to sell! Potentially millions of items. The damage caused is hard to calculate, but it's certainly severe. Yes, the shipping is technically correct for the incorrect size/weight that is a seller's default -- USPS is simply the wrong carrier for items of any size/weight, which they are unaware of. But instead of blaming thousands of sellers for getting the system wrong, how about eBay gets a clue and suggests an optimal shipping method? i.e. "Hey, before you proceed with that, UPS/Fedex would probably be a better option! And by the way, based on all the data we have on what you're selling, are you SURE it weights 50lb and is 20x20x24?" I mean, they are trusting AI in a million bizarre and inappropriate ways, so why are they afraid to use some intelligence to determine proper shipping? In the last 3 months, I have personally walked 50 sellers through switching their shipping to UPS/Fedex and correcting dimensions. But most will not listen and suspect that a helpful buyer is up to something. I only know all this because I am the odd person who is scouring eBay 3-5 hours a day. This is a big problem, and nobody even seems to be aware of it. Certainly eBay isn't. Either they don't know, or they don't care -- pick one.

  @MemeStockMillyz I understand that but even if that happens the core issue still ain’t fixed and even if eBay accusation happens it remains to be seen if it can turn into a good thing. Even if it does the core issue with GameStop is it still has done nothing to solve digital gaming.

  @Jacquel24711412 @eBay i'd skip this one. it's just a product listing, no real hook to build off of. if there was even a claim about why it matters or what problem it solves, we could work with that. but pure promo? nothing to add that wouldn't sound like empty hype or a sales pitch

  @atlanta_cards @flamadiddledoo Last few weeks have been brutal, tbh. My eBay store has slowed down a ton and I've been seeing a lot of reposts like this on here. Theres been a few big releases recently and I'm wondering if people are just budgeting right now.

  @eBay lol you’re absolutely ******* useless trash. My accounts been suspended twice and all I’ve done is login. Haven’t even been able to use eBay. Absolute ******* trash board room and exec level needs to step down and leave so the right people can take over and fix these issues.

  @OffDaHook35 Fedex keeps sending me Tariff 'processing fee' invoices not actual tariffs. Mostly related to ebay Authentication using Fedex to ship to US. I tell Fedex it's ebay's problem, with a little coaxing they agree. Otherwise no issues, BUT some Canada sellers gouge on postage.

  @cellamonico @binding_broken They went in 2 seconds there is no way in hell they went that quick, broken bindings should cancel all orders, these will no doubt be up on eBay for resell, I'm fuming the riftwar Saga is my favourite books of all time what a joke

  @CineKal563 @CardPurchaser Thanks! I just need to find a place to start selling my stacks. I heard a lot of problems on eBay. I was thinking WhatNot. Any other options?

  @socrates2sox @Ride4Truth @overstretcc93 The safest thing for dental is the Versaflo PAPR hack for dental, or similar PAPR. Versaflo is pricey but there are cheaper PAPRs on eBay that can be used. Readimask nose hack is cheaper and more readily available, although there can be issues with donning and adhesion.

  @BALLBAKEDTAKES This is actually the best process if you don’t want to get scammed. The problem is eBay authenticator shipping the card to you and it’s halfway out the sleeve lol
