  @Tecnoguy1 @ShowMeLaTweet You're talking about ONE game you hypothetically lost access to..... vs the literal actual thousands of games you DO have access to - precisely BECAUSE of digital. These sob stores about some game from 2007 don't work on me. People need to move on, OR they can go out of their way to buy a retro console and find a sale for the game on eBay - that's a YOU problem, and shouldn't be an issue for the vast majority of consumers. I have more access to games I played as a child, like Super Mario Bros 3 or Ninja Gaiden for the NES - than I ever did when physical media was the only option.

  @eBay your customer service for sellers is terrible. No one can answer me or tell me why I am getting g charged 6$ every month for 1 listing and I can’t remove the listing to get the charge removed… and when I submit a request you just ignore it…never approved this charge!

  @dlamini_sa2411 @Gigiof5momof2 @Oluchisxn I'm starting to think this is a good wife test. If your girl wants a $20,000 ring and a $60,000 wedding, she's not wife material. I got my rings off Amazon. About $100 each for two. I've got some fancy costume jewelry off Ebay that other women have swooned over. I tell them every time that I chose the $20 ring off ebay and a new track saw and remind young women about priorities. Money is finite and none of us are super rich. Put that money in a 401K or use it as a down payment on a car/house.

  Agree. I’ve had issues with the eBay guaranteed shipping as well, turns out that the correct process is to refund immediately after the buyer says they didn’t get it and file a claim with a separate insurance company. If you don’t do eBay shipping labels you are out of luck even more. For me the authentication process for higher end cards and orderly process are worth the fees and frustration. Maybe I can find better luck on X but I’ve had a lot of bad/shady experiences off eBay. Unfortunately eBay has little incentive to help sellers either . Overall agree eBay should have better systems in place for these types of things. Feedback as well. Currently dealing with a negative feedback claiming failure to disclose holo scratches-listing has 14 close ups lol. I think it’s choose your pain unfortunately and I don’t see eBay doing anything more for sellers any time soon.

  @CardboardPicker They listed this "prototype" and it "sold" for $501. They listed it again and it "sold" for $300. They listed it a 3rd time, I called them out on it, they yanked down the listing once I exposed them. Ebay no longer allows winning bids to get out of paying. They got busted.

  Fun little update for anyone who saw any part of my Ebay authentication shipping saga. Quick recap: I received a 2025 Topps Chrome Platinum Jose Ramirez Red Prism that got dinged after partially sliding out of the semi-rigid inside the fancy little eBay authentication box. @eBay bot jumped into my post and told me to contact them, so I did. Started in chat. Got bumped to a supervisor pretty quickly. She asked if she could call instead of chat, so we did. The fact they quickly shuffled me to a non-outsourced individual is an indicator that they might actually be taking this seriously. Honestly? It was a really good conversation. I stressed how severe this issue is, how common it seems to be, and how wild it is that eBay/PSA hasn’t addressed it yet when the fix seems incredibly simple. Just secure the opening of the semi-rigid with a sticker. That’s it. Desiree was extremely helpful. She said she’s familiar with the problem, understands why it’s frustrating- for us as well as her team, and promised to get it in front of the right people. She even notated my account info and said she’d like to call or message me if/when she gets confirmation that the process has been fixed. She also credited my account roughly half of what I paid, which was honestly more than I expected considering there’s technically only a 3-day claim window and the card arrived June 30 while I was out of town. So, for my specific situation, I think they handled it fairly. Big picture, I sincerely hope this turns into an actual process change. Add a sticker. Add tape. Add literally anything that keeps the card from sliding out of the holder during shipping. It just seems so simple. If this happens to you, I encourage you contact them within 3 days of receiving the card. And have photos ready. The more people they have to refund for this, the better chance we have of an actual remedy. If Desiree follows through and I get confirmation that they fixed the process, I’ll be genuinely happy to post that update. Come on, Desiree. You got this!

  @BlixkGod @Gumidess Well downloading some games gives you the whole game locally. In those instances, you digitally bought physical media (seeing the same is physically written in your hard drive instead of having physical permissions to enter a server) the no disk thing is really their "yellow ebay

  @moderateright13 @mjfree So I buy some stuff on ebay from Chinese suppliers and believe me their stuff is so much cheaper and if there is a problem it's sorted quickly,no hassle by very humble people

  @KaB0uLi @eBay Wow, please stay in touch with me. They never provide tracking either. I always have to contact them to get it. They seem like an honorable company, but you never know in this hobby. I’ve never had any issues with them previously. Hoping this is an @eBay incompetency issue. I obviously want the card. It was expensive. Naturally I’m concerned about. Especially since I purchased it prior to the Knicks winning the Championship, and Brunson winning MVP.

  All of you keep trying to put me down and make me feel bad and insignificant for my collection size, and keep trying to press me to say I have more digital than physical. You mfs will not gaslight me into thinking I’m not a physical fan when I have way more of discs than digital titles and I will keep buying discs as much as I can overtime, I’m always on the lookout for sales from brick and mortar retail or Amazon or eBay or marketplace, I’m never gonna stop owning more discs even after 2028 so **** all of you abusive mfs once again 🖕

  @aleczanderjk @CardPurchaser If they sent you back a different card than the one listed, on the return you can select that there is a issue with the return. Also file a report on the buyer. Once you are done with all that contact ebay customer support, request a phone call, let them know the issue.
