  @eBay I bought a car part 7/13, it was broken upon arrival. The seller & eBay accepted my return request with submitted photos of broken part. I shipped the return back yesterday & woke up to a suspended account with no refund today. Cannot get through to customer service. Help

  @JenX_Based @eBay They seem to be getting better about keep this stuff inside Seller hub and making sure stuff linked elsewhere is posted there... Maybe, just maybe, they are getting that 1 and 2 person operations don't have time to chase down new information all the time.

  An Open Letter to the United States Postal Service Dear USPS, Thank you for changing your shipping rates again. We sellers were becoming dangerously comfortable. Some of us had gone nearly two weeks without rebuilding our shipping calculations, changing listing policies or trying to explain to buyers why mailing a pair of jeans now requires a degree in advanced mathematics. Fortunately, you have rescued us from that stability. On June 22, you suddenly lowered Ground Advantage rates for many packages weighing three to five pounds. It was a strange decision that made some heavier packages cheaper to mail than lighter ones, but we foolishly assumed there might be a plan behind it. Then came another collection of rate changes on July 12. Now, effective July 25, you have raised those three-to-five-pound rates by ten cents—with roughly one day’s notice. Apparently, this particular increase didn’t require the usual public rate-change process because it involved special USPS Connect eCommerce pricing. That is a wonderfully convenient arrangement. You can call something a “negotiated discount,” alter it whenever the wind changes direction and leave eBay to tell sellers after we have already priced thousands of listings around it. Very clever. The ten cents isn’t the real problem. The problem is that nobody running a business can depend upon a shipping system whose prices are apparently being adjusted with the same careful planning used by a gas station changing the numbers on its roadside sign. Sellers need predictable costs. Buyers need understandable shipping charges. Marketplaces need enough notice to update their calculators properly. What we receive instead is another announcement explaining that yesterday’s rates are no longer today’s rates—but not to worry, because everything will update automatically. How comforting. Perhaps USPS could publish a schedule showing when it plans to reconsider, reverse, adjust, fine-tune or partially undo its latest pricing brainstorm. If no schedule exists, a spinning prize wheel would work equally well: Congratulations! This week, three-pound packages cost less than ten-ounce packages! Come back next week to see what five pounds costs! Rural ZIP code? Sorry—different game entirely! USPS is supposed to be a national delivery service, not an airline fare calculator. Sellers should not need to check postage rates every morning before listing an item, wondering whether the price changed overnight or whether yesterday’s “special discount” has quietly become today’s “small adjustment.” Please choose a rate structure, explain it clearly, provide reasonable notice and leave it alone long enough for the people using your service to operate an actual business. Or don’t. At this rate, we’ll probably receive another announcement correcting this one before the ink dries. Sincerely, An eBay seller who would merely like the cost of mailing a package to remain predictable for more than fifteen minutes

  @BostonBean617 @xMBGx The same reason every retail store is having problems. Amazon, eBay, and everywhere else you can order online. Brick and mortar stores have been dying all over.

  Casually browsing Ebay for some miscut/ error cards, and came across this amazing error card: CGC 7 ERROR Double Print 1 Side Blank Larvitar Obsidian Flames Pokemon 105/197 Larvitar is printed on the back instead of the front, and the other side is totally blank. Wonder how this card leaked out from the factory.

  I wonder many people have the south park the fractured butwhole kiosk demo out there a fundraiser was started but the eBay seller wanted over 1k for the copy. 🤔 If I manage to find it one day I will buy because I'm in a community where people have been trying to fix Dr Timothy's unlock and powers, he was gonna be playable and unlocked in a scrapped mission I forgot which one but he was basically ready but cut last minute, also there was a saw room for bring the crunch dlc. Also fun fact about playing as Timmy via modding his voice lines that you don't hear through regular gameplay play such as "got this for you" the clip below is some gameplay from my YouTube.

  this gen i've noticed a lot of games run out of physical copies soon after release; only place to find them is resellers on sites like ebay while actual retailers will have run out copies. sony has been winding down physical copy distribution even before the recent announcement.

  I was shooting quick little videos on the phone for pieces I'm putting up on eBay today and before taking down the test track sections, I popped this $20 steam loco chassis on the track. I bought this with a bunch of random pieces a couple months back but hadn't run any of it yet. This chassis in N scale, tiny and light as a feather so I wasn't expecting much from it to be honest. I was kind of shocked that without any additional weight on it, it ran this well. As a nice bonus... it sounds great! Sound to me is a big deal with model trains. Too many are a bit screechy / grinding, etc. For me that really hurts the enjoyment. I'm sort of obsessed with the whole "model railroading is too expensive" thing I hear so often. Of course it can be, but a chassis like this, at $20, opens up so many possibilities. We'll be shooting videos on these low prices chassis and what they can mean for the hobby! I really was knocked out by this train.
