  @RepDaleStrong On March 12, 2026, Amazon instituted a policy to illegitimately take monies from 3rd Party Sellers, who constitute 60% of sales on Amazon according to Amazon, in order to improve its own cash flow. This policy is an example of the anti-competitive practices Amazon has used to enrich itself and undermine all competitors over many years. For about 20 years Amazon paid Sellers as follows: 1) a Customer selected a Seller’s item for purchase; 2) the Seller fulfilled the order, shipping the item to the Customer; 3) the Customer paid the item price plus any shipping charge applied by the Seller; 4) the Seller paid the actual shipping cost; 5) Amazon took its standard fees for every transaction; and 6) Amazon regularly paid the Seller the difference between its own fees and the Seller’s item price and shipping charge. The Seller and Amazon both benefitted greatly from this system. As of 3/12/2026, Amazon switched to what it called “DD+7”, which stands for Delivery Date plus 7 days. Amazon still takes it fees immediately when a Seller fulfills an order. Amazon pays the Seller nothing until 7 days after the item is delivered to the Customer, which depends upon the speed and accuracy of the USPS, UPS, or other delivery service. Sellers therefore, are paid approximately 14 days after spending to ship the item, rather than at the time of shipping. Amazon utilizes the full amount paid by the Customer as it wishes until Delivery Date plus 7 days, which amounts to millions of dollars every day that payment to the Seller is delayed. According to Amazon, “Moving your reserve setting to DD+7 provides time for you to accrue fees and other costs before disbursement and gives your customers time to receive, open, and evaluate their order.” This rationalization would be laughable if it weren’t so extremely and prejudicially false. Every purchase on Amazon can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. DD+7 does not add any additional time for the Customer to “…receive, open, and evaluate their order.” As a Seller, also, I have no idea what “…fees and other costs before disbursement…” I could accrue; gaslighting is the only thing stated in this sentence. There are millions of 3rd Party Sellers on Amazon, and almost all of them are small businesses. Amazon has spent decades making its Seller system appear to be the most efficient and effective, undercutting all other major 3rd Party Seller systems, such as ebay. The system before DD+7 was extremely profitable to Amazon. Now Amazon is requiring a pay-off which harms its own 3rd Party Sellers, to the benefit only of Amazon’s enormous bottom line. Please contact Amazon about this penurious attack upon its Sellers. We depend upon Congress to defend the small businesses that are sources of enormous value throughout our country. Please also address the issues raised here in the appropriate Congressional committees. Public hearings will not show Amazon in a good light. Thank you,

  I love how even running an eBay collectibles store comes with its own BS. People will make fake accounts and bid just to take your listings down for a few days so they can’t compete. Yes, my hands are always in many sinister soups… #tuesdayvibe #creatorlife

  True story - In 2008, I bought the full 150 card atomic set in a binder on ebay I listed the cards individually a couple months later on ebay and 4x’d my investment. Thats a big part of how I paid for my down payment on my first house. Fun times.

  @usrnamewastkn @fleshsimulator You're also paying way too much on AMZ, they claim one is left in stock, and I almost made an error and purchased it, before checking eBay. all copies of Mamas foot could be purchased and a cartel could potentially set it's price.

  @Legacy411 I would source things to sell on eBay. I would buy key issues of certain magazines and comics by the boatload. Same with records, toys, band t-shirts, posters, etc.

  @Top100Rick That woman is part of the problem. $600 in merch just to sell it all on eBay, and there’s nothing left in the shop by Friday.

  @eBay My issue doesn't fall neatly into your FAQs or customer service categories. I was charged for an item I'll never receive b/c the seller sold it on another site. She said she canceeled my order but eBay still thinks my item is en route to me.

  @Blake5874 @CardPurchaser @eBay You dont inspect your card. That issue was clear as day. Or you just wipe it down and send.

  @moorehn The first item sold on eBay was a broken pen. There’s a market for everything :p

  @Nortier Very true. Big difference is like adidas sells all the same products so they have have warehouses all over with the same stock. Problem with a RWA marketplace warehouse is that like eBay it’s a perpetual rotating supply of what people are listing, and the sellers themselves are holding custody for 90% of items so shipping depends based on where seller lives not necessarily the marketplace location. That’s why it probably has to come down to an issue of who should pay for shipping that’s fair for all parties. Really, sellers could list a $100 item for $150 and then shipping is free for buyer and seller would receive $100 minus 50 for shipping if it comes out of seller side.

  @HackermanAce send to zandgemporium consignment service, simple as that. no account signups no issues. takes a lower fee than ebay and you'll get better $ than a card show.

  @eBay Please look into this user. I have sent in a report but since this user has been known to talk to underage people online, this is kind of an issue that needs to be dealt with asap
