  @_adamccc @CardPurchaser @eBay It’s crazy it’s been a thing for over a year now and there’s a simple fix and they refuse to do anything. It’s literally mind boggling

  @TCGPokePlug @eBay 13% eBay fees is a terrible pain. But we all know this before listing. Sell with a consigner for high end and pay only 5%.

  @KotoriSenseiBA @LostSkeledude idk if I'll get a response but how would this work if I buy a figure off ebay and not directly from a big retailer? I collect hot toys figures and for the ones I dont have/are sold out in the US, I usually buy from hong kong sellers. would this be an issue?..

  Ebay seller that combine S1/S2/Update (inserts) (parallels) in drop down menus are so easy to avoid when searching players... Often times the card(s) (you) are after have been sold but the search still picks up the listing... I get why sellers do it, but as a buyer, it's easy to move on to an individual listing...

  Now that ebay is changing its policy on returns ... I'm done. Folks have returned manuals after one time use ... parts after eliminating problems ... and multiple products after selling their car/motorcycle. It's stupid.

  I will never give @ebay another penny of my money. I signed up for a new business account to sell an antique item I found in a storage unit. It admittedly was not in the greatest condition so I went online and painstakingly researched what I should do to be as honest and specific about it in order to not cause a problem. After going to town to list this item in the best possible way, showing every photo possible and acknowledging the exact kind of clientele this was for, my account got hit with an immediate AI suspension email. "because of activity that we believe was putting the eBay community at risk." Nothing to tell me why it was risky, nothing to tell me what I did wrong or what I should do about it or how to fix it. No simply denying the listing and letting me keep the account, no asking questions about the item, or even a hint as to what will happen next. No, I had to contact them by email to ask what I need to do to fix this. The response? PERMANENTLY suspended. Again, not a single reason. Just because. Google AI ends up telling me that this is a huge reported problem for a ton of sellers, and that the "permanent" ban is not as permanent as I think, and that I should use the phone line to request a review and maybe get it restored. The phone rep told me this suspension was all about "verification." Why would you do a suspension for that? Why not just tell me in the beginning to wait until the account is good? But at least, now I'm thinking this isn't so bad. We can fix this, now. Instead, the guy looked at the case for all of two minutes and without asking a single question just said "Nope, it stays suspended" and gave me just as little information. In his own words, said "we cannot give you any information." That's it. No day in court. No deductive reasoning. "Just done.... Shut up and go away...because we said so, that's why." And you can't blame it on bots, this time because a literal human being told me: "No, I can't tell you anything." "We understand that this must be frustrating, but this decision was not made lightly." And yet you sure handled it lightly enough. I'm sure that 2 minutes on hold must have been one heck of a deliberation. It was a book, BTW. An antique book.

  @TCGPokePlug @eBay They added the sales tax to the order total and then subtracted it. That has no impact to you. Your fees were $419. Your sale must have been around $2900 and you received almost $2500. So, what’s the issue?

  @marklindores @CotswoldLadyB @thewhitecompany People who know what a hassle it is when things arrive broken. You do it with eBay and vinted as well because people send empty boxes or wrong items.

  For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to create a TCG When I was a kid, we used to take the Pokemon figures you could get from ebay like 150 fake pokemon 1” toys for $25 I used to make them have levels and states and make gyms and an elite four In my 20s I made a game very similar to how one piece turned out but I didn’t know much about game balance and I even got the first full set printed and we did a little “pre release” event. But printing is expensive and artwork etc; so I gave up The last 2 years I’ve been working on a TCG working on mechanics and how to do it, proof of this is @AQuarterRican actually printed over 600 cards, but very much still in the testing phase and it’s hard to find the time. But @SteeloAndKri of all people made me think of an idea I just never thought of. A Cats TCG? What if I took my original idea that I’ve been working on but build lore and cards around our brand? Now this isn’t “THE NEXT MAGIC KILLER” this is just a fun idea, and not TOO expensive, I can have packs made from Alibaba, korrie and I can pack them and sell them for like $1.99 a pack. I’m going to put my thoughts down below!

  Elon Musk on how PayPal got its first 100,000 customers in one month “I didn’t expect PayPal’s growth rate to be what it was, and that actually created major problems,” Elon explains. “We started PayPal on University Avenue [in Palo Alto], and after the first month or so of the website being active, we had 100,000 customers.” As Elon explains, the key to PayPal’s viral growth was it referral program: “We started off first by offering people $20 if they opened account and $20 if they referred anyone. Then we dropped it to $10, and then we dropped it to $5. As the network got bigger and bigger, the value of the network itself exceeded any sort of carrot that we could offer.” He continues: “And then we just did a bunch of things to decrease the friction. It’s like bacteria in a petri dish. What you want to do is try to have one customer generate two customers, or three customers ideally. And then you want that to happen really fast.” Elon estimates that PayPal spent $60-70 million to fuel this growth, before the company was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion.

  From 2019 onwards, $EBAY has a pretty impressive rap sheet: - 2019: Execs ordered a stalking campaign against blogger couple the Steiners. Sent live bugs, a pig mask, and a funeral wreath to their home. GPS tracked their car. CEO Wenig ("take her down") walked with $57M severance. Never charged. - 2022: 7 employees convicted. Ringleader Jim Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison. - 2023: DOJ sues eBay for selling 343K emissions defeat devices and illegal pesticides. Potential $1.9B exposure. - 2024: eBay pays $3M criminal fine (statutory max) to DOJ for the stalking. Same month, pays $59M for facilitating illegal pill press sales. - 2026: Steiner civil suit ($466M punitive ask) settled, then collapsed. Trial set for Jan 2027. Multiple DOJ actions. 7 convictions. Billions in exposure. A decade of self-inflicted chaos. Is this board and CEO really the best to run this iconic American brand?
