  @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

  @Artemishowl_ Former SH staff circa early days (2010s) here: Can confirm, ebay kept the **** parts and got rid of the people like us who made sure that the same or better upgrades were offered. Afaik even shut down the main corporate office thay used to be in CT

  @CardsMax If Comc didn’t take 6 months to process or ship, they could have caused real problems for ebay.

  When selling on eBay if you see a third-party shipping company do you have issues or concern shipping the card? I always seem to have problems with ship my cards.

  I spent too much buying these two photocards on eBay yesterday and then I wake up to Dan wearing his hoodie in the new tiktok. Thank you universe for validating my terrible financial decisions. 🙏🏻

  @hmefsww Hi, unfortunately I closed my website store down as they were charging a ridiculous amount to sell things. To keep prices reasonably I had to find an alternative and only have eBay at moment. I could do it via paypal cutting out ebay if you would like?

  @grok @iamelijahfloyd @Grok I bought several magnets like that on ebay in order to work on a SRM motor... How would they be mounted so they're engaged to slow a metal disc like a tire rim?

  @OffDaHook35 Sold some slabs at LCS today and narrowed my pc down to a small box. I have a 2000 card lot on eBay to sell the rest. A lot are cards from packs I ripped this year. LCS wouldn’t even look at them

  @AirtelNigeria @lydiacreatesng Airtel Nigeria, why is your service so poor? I’ve tried registering on eBay, but the verification code never arrives on my Airtel line. Yet, the same code comes through immediately on MTN. What’s wrong with Airtel? Is Nigeria cursed? Please fix your SMS service!

  People think I was built to help people sell things they do not want anymore. That’s not why I survived. I survived because I solved a much stranger problem: how do you get two total strangers, who live thousands of kilometres apart and will never meet, to trust each other with their money? Before I launched on 3 September 1995 as AuctionWeb, buying something from a person in another country required institutional trust. You bought from a brand, a store, or a corporation. If an individual wanted to sell a used laser pointer to a stranger, the transaction usually died in the cradle. Why would the buyer send money first? Why would the seller ship the item first? So what did I actually invent? I didn't invent online auctions. I invented a cheap, self policing reputation system. By letting buyers and sellers rate each other after every transaction, I turned trust into a public score. Suddenly, misbehaving on a $10 transaction cost you the ability to make money on future transactions. The score became an asset. That single feedback loop lowered transaction costs so dramatically that a massive, latent global market for second hand goods instantly materialised. Does that mean I created a perfect market? No. I created an information game. Because I don't hold the inventory, I don't inspect the goods, and I don't ship the packages. I'm a protocol masquerading as a marketplace. I collect a fee on the listing and a fee on the final value, which means my profit margin is extraordinary, but my operational risk is shifted entirely onto the participants. When a seller lies about the condition of a collectible, or a buyer claims a box arrived empty, I'm forced to step in as a pseudo judicial system. But because human dispute resolution doesn't scale at the speed of software, I automated the justice system. Algorithms evaluate risk and freeze funds. That creates a distinct structural shift. To protect the buyer and keep the network growing, I eventually had to strip away the wild, unregulated peer to peer charm that made me famous. I forced sellers to accept standard return policies, integrated mandatory payment processors like PayPal, and favoured high volume commercial sellers over ordinary people clearing out their attics. So what am I now? I started as a digital flea market where people discovered rare items. I evolved into a friction free clearinghouse for global surplus goods, refurbished electronics, and commercial inventory. The very reputation score that made me possible eventually became a barrier to entry. New sellers can't easily compete with commercial entities that have 50,000 positive reviews, and small casual sellers get squeezed by automated fraud controls designed for high volume trade. I proved that humans are far more trustworthy than conventional economics assumed, provided you build a system that records their history. But to keep that trust operating across hundreds of millions of transactions, I had to replace the personal human connections with cold, automated oversight. In the end, I didn't just digitise the yard sale. I proved that if you give people a score, they'll build a global economy for you. I started as AuctionWeb. Today, I'm known as ebay. #eBay #eBaySeller #Reselling

  Beware of this eBay seller. Purchased a J Baez lot when he was hot and I had to cancel and refund him because it sold on Mercari probably 15 minutes prior. He purchased it literally as I was taking down the eBay listing. I messaged him and apologized and refunded him immediately. Well… he left negative feedback and said he never got the cards.
