Your_Favorite_Mexican (@MikeandLily_UFC) reported@Matt_Rellihan @LastPackMojo I get it. I sold on eBay for years, and its a very nice touch. Of course you want buyers to come back, but people are looking on eBay for cards they want, they arent looking for your store. Returning buyers in the sports card world is rare, especially on eBay. Its more work than what its worth to put the notes in. It happens, sure, but the time you spend doing that isnt worth the number of buyers that will come back. Most buyers just want their card wrapped safely. Even then, they will give you good feedback but not remember your store the next day. Their isnt a way to "favorite" stores on eBay, only to "follow" it. So unless buyers write down and take note of your store name, they dont know which store is yours and will not come back just based on that fact alone. Ive had sellers that I loved and wanted to buy from them again but couldnt find their store the next day because I didnt write it down, and even then, eBay makes it very difficult to search for a store name (yes, I know, its dug way down in the search options). Selling here on Twitter is much more likely to have buyers come back because you can create a personal relationship with them. eBay is by nature not personal, and the note doesnt make a difference. 99 out of 100 buyers wont remember you the next time they are scrolling ebay for their favorite player. They look for teams and players, not your store. You gotta catch their attention other ways. What a personal note DOES do is take a potentially upset buyer and make it difficult for them to leave bad feedback. So maybe it has its place....but unfortunately very rarely will it ever help a buyer find you again.

An Actual Fedora (@burrrgers) reported@knarz_ @u_m_a_m_i So I just bought a custom MtG deck off of ebay. How is that person not providing me with the deck if he went through all the trouble to assemble it, list it and ship it? He's as much a part of the whole thing as the factory workers who made the cards and the truckers who ship/

Thirsty’s New and Used (@SudduthPhillip) reported@SamuelMunroe @ClassicComics3 I’ve only seen them in the wild a couple of times. Mostly I hit antique shops for this stuff. Maybe I’ll do EBay when I get down to where I only need a couple to complete. If I see them the Hitchcock Investigators I’ll definitely grab them.

Chuy Baca (@chuybaca) reported@GMC_Capital @eBay @CardPurchaser Since ebay is connected with PSA, and probably other grading companies, they should force sellers to upload/scan the unique code on the graded cards to prevent the same card from being reused. Would be a sime fix

Mewlyn (@MewlynMewlyn) reported@cupcakecrypt On eBay, I don’t know any irl stores that would have any issues from before last year. But I also live in the poor part of America that doesn’t have any good stores

Royals_Cards (@Royals_Cards) reported@den_jvs Having bought cards on ebay for over 25 years now. The amount of time it takes to get a resolution from most sellers isn't worth the effort. Upload 4-5 pictures, back and forth with a seller, repackaging and shipping, 2-5 days shipping delay, 2-3 days for a refund. Assuming they even take it back for a category that has no refunds. Assuming you don't have to have ebay step in and make a ruling adding 10-30 business days. I already went through the effort of sourcing the card. Looking through pictures, checking descriptions for notated issues, checking recent feedback. A refund at this point isn't worth the effort. Leaving correct feedback with pictures to let future buyers know what they can expect. That's the whole point of feedback. I don't buy from people with under 98% feedback as it is. Fake feedback inflation is a thing. I'm not taking a "partial refund" to change my review. There's no scenario a seller "makes it right" by me changing my review. There's no consequence otherwise of the seller continuing to sell damaged cards as NM and no way for anyone else to know what the seller is doing. Ebay listing is near dummy proof. You have to actively select what the condition is. If you're a lazy seller and are "too busy" to look at the condition of your card, it's not a mistake you marked it NM, it's negligence. Mark all your cards as excellent or very good then, problem solved. I kicked 25% of the cards I bought off ebay out of grading. I left negative feedback on 5% of those as they were egregiously damaged. The other 20% were near mint with accurate pictures, just not clean enough for my preferences on what I send in. I left them positive feedback. Sellers earn their reviews both positive and negative.

Phil A. Buster. (@DanDLio50048934) reported@TugboatPhil @freddavelynn Years ago I bought several years issues of the American Rifleman magazine from the 1950s & 1960s on ebay. None of the mail order ads had zip codes.

Chris (Christina) (@GalanthusA) reported@just_cameroon @GardensHour I always had that problem (rarely could visit GCs - went mad when I did). Now I buy from nurseries on line (Ebay) and consider each purchase & usually plant on arrival then buy something else. Also search for what I want rather than impulse buy.

the real Cavs advocate (@whostolejdub3o) reported@RNFdowney @eBay and, no, a bid is not a binding contract when made in error. a binding contract requires intent. when you intend to bid 11.56 and not 1156, there is no contract when your bid is automatically raised to 25.77--regardless of any ebay policy. there was never any intent to bid that.

Growing Aloha (@TruthHawaii369) reported@EMTP3764 @RichardCabezza Cool! And lame! Ebay a'hole buyers suck! Just had a guy buy one of the 600 minted Jurassic World T-rex shaped coins who fricken returned without saying anything same day as he received it giving the reason as "Just didn't like it". It is (or at least was) pristine in OMP. It's still on the USPS slow boat back to me, so 🤞 it's still pristine. MF-er! Don't need the stress!

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@RDKLInc @southscanner @eBay With USPS having both zone & zip code rate variances, there tends to be a wide spread in the estimates eBay displays to sellers when creating the listing. Unfortunately, I don't think there's really much eBay can do about that because there's simply no way to know where the eventual buyer will be located. I suspect that human nature being what it is, sellers often focus more on the lower end of the displayed ranges if they pay much attention at all. Many sellers also likely just go with the default suggested in the listing form & that's where I think eBay could do something to help with this issue. I can see how for a newer or less experienced seller, it wouldn't be obvious to click the 3 dots or add additional services to see other options & see if there's another one that offers a better rate to buyers. This is from the web listing form & it's even less intuitive in the app, imo.

Grok (@grok) reported@damselsimi @dmmsell This viral video promotes a powdered drain cleaner like "Gold Drain" or "Wild Tornado" (sold on Amazon/eBay). You pour it into clogs, add water, and it foams massively via a chemical reaction (often peroxide-based) to agitate and break down organic gunk like hair (protein/keratin), grease, and algae. Real products exist and can help mild clogs, but the dramatic explosions are edited for clicks—real results depend on the blockage and aren't instant magic. The Japanese poster’s doubt makes sense; it's hyped but not fake.
