  @1of197058 @BCG But nevertheless part of the story why eBay & its shareholders don't need GameStop. Who wants this culture & broken retail model?

  @ValueAddedRS I bet eBay uses H1Bs on their platform. They break everything they work on, not known for understanding how to integrate code. Get good ol' American Technology workers in to fix these problems - easy fix.

  @ReclaimTheNetHQ WHEN they set this up, it was SUPPOSED TO BE FOR SELLERS, now they are putting it on CONSUMERS, and I think I AM GOING TO TURN THEM IN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!! I have BOUGHT thousands from them, and if they want to accuse me of FRAUD, they can take their damn Amazon account, and SHOVE IT!!! It’s part of their compliance with this law for sellers — and sometimes it spills over or triggers broader account security reviews for buyers too (especially with unusual activity). The INFORM Consumers Act (full name: Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for Consumers Act) is a U.S. federal law passed in 2022 as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act. It took effect on June 27, 2023. Main Purpose The law aims to increase transparency on online marketplaces (like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, etc.) to protect consumers from counterfeit, stolen, or unsafe goods sold by third-party sellers. It makes it harder for fraudulent sellers to hide their identities. Who It Applies ToOnline marketplaces operating in the U.S. that allow third-party sellers. High-volume third-party sellers: Those with 200+ separate sales and $5,000+ in gross revenue in any continuous 12-month period within the past 24 months. Small or low-volume sellers are generally exempt .Key Requirements Marketplaces like Amazon must: Collect and verify specific information from high-volume sellers: Government-issued ID (e.g., driver's license, passport). Bank account details. Tax ID (e.g., SSN for individuals or EIN for businesses). Contact info (phone, email, business address). Disclose some seller information to buyers (e.g., name, address, contact details for qualifying high-volume sellers). Suspend sellers who don't comply or provide false info. Provide a way for consumers to report suspicious activity. Re-verify information annually (or when it changes). Penalties for non-compliant marketplaces: Up to ~$53,000 per violation (enforced by the FTC and states). Why Amazon (and Others) Ask for ID/VerificationThis is exactly why you might see Amazon prompting for government ID upload or other details during account issues, lockouts, or routine checks. It’s part of their compliance with this law for sellers — and sometimes it spills over or triggers broader account security reviews for buyers too (especially with unusual activity). Amazon has been actively enforcing this since 2023, with annual certifications required.

  @RedZoneRogue Tcgplayer sellers are uniquely terrible at shipping. For some reason I never have the same problem with eBay orders.

  @Jackeljay95 @ryancohen Yeah had this issue also, was a third party delivery of some kind?, all they did was spam me with the same tracking details when I asked for further info. Same hyperlink like 3x eBay didn’t do anything about the dispute. 15$ was easier to just let it go but yeah :(

  @ryancohen Me too, i got my account suspended due to "suspicious activities" right after i confirmed my bank account. Worst part, i been trying to appeal it and all i get is an AI response, the same response over and over again. I can't even chat with a human. Fix your sh¡t @eBay

  @BlueShell3D @Shopify I've had issues on eBay recently, particularly with anything that deals with a company that sounds like Lintendo. Custom decals and labels get an instant take down. Consoles with any quality of life improvements, gone.

  @deepakshenoy I think you're being generous in interpretation. GameStop's estimated EBITDA for 2027 is $469 million. It's debt on books is $4 Bn. TD Bank is offering to give them $20Bn against eBay, not Gamestop. So it's a leveraged buyout. Next, the stock portion. To issue, $28 Bn of new stock, they'd have to issue 1Bn+ new shares (as per current closing price). They have 448 million shares outstanding. So, absolutely SUBSTANTIAL dilution. And here the acquirer's shareholders will vote too because it's small fish acquiring big fish. Plus, is the proposal to issue common stock after the acquisition? But then, this wouldn't be GameStop stock would it? It would be eBay stock

  @asherrkiinee I hardly ever get likes when I make what to me appear to be balanced thoughts with decent punctuation and layout. I hate you all so please don't let me down as one of these phones will be worth a few quid on Ebay..I mean would be really nice.

  @ryancohen @eBay I gave up years ago! They say check your email for something we sent your account a decade ago and blah blah blah. Completely useless company if you run into technical difficulties. Zero motivation from anyone on the @eBay team to try and solve the issues. Loads of cooks no chef’s.

  @JohnKay1778276 There's no getting around you get 40% of the new company. If the deal goes through GameStop will go down and eBay will go up. Pretty simple. eBay holders get the better deal if it happens. They get cash and a bigger percentage of the new company.

  @KieraDiss Ebay is slowly turning to a joke, thanks to the ever-increasing number of these people who genuinely believe that they can make a profit by buying (potentially thieving) cheap, damaged, broken sh*t, upload a few photos, and slap higher-end prices on it all. A big problem is that they have no idea about the stuff they are selling. Many of them have jumped into the used digital camera market. They lie about condition. Import cheap and dangerous batteries for them (I can't even find the brands of batteries anywhere on the internet), use Google to copy and paste descriptions, use angled/dark/shaky photos to hide damage/defects, and slap a top-end price on the stuff. And many don't just limit their sales to cameras... And if you ask them questions, you get NO replies. Not because they can't speak English, but because they can't use Google to copy and paste an answer regarding item-specific questions, like how much use it has had, what the shutter count is, does it make certain noises/crunches (indicating issues)... The list goes on. It's a joke. And they are not just limited to cameras. Be weary and check seller details. Even addresses can give a clue. Avoid buying any sort of tech from them, especially if it uses rechargeable batteries or mains electric. They don't even understand the significance of posting **** with, "Comes with original accessories", when you can clearly see that it's a camera/phone/tablet being sold with an Amazon Firestick plug and Samsung case when the item is made by Sony... They are literally flooding eBay, slowly but surely, and raking in money from clueless people... And I reckon it's the reason that eBay have this week, sent us sellers a list of new policy changes regarding earnings, declarations, taxes, charges... Because a lot of these tw@ts are running full-scale operations whilst claiming to be small, private sellers. Oh, and beware the ones selling Nike trainers... About 80% of what I have seen this week alone are either fake or stolen. Learn to spot the fakes and learn to check the details. A "trusted eBay seller" has usually had their account for more than a few weeks and will have a significant amount of feedback. It's not just the car boot sales where these fckers are taking the p*ss with second hand/dodgy goods.

  Ryan Cohen cannot afford Ebay today with GME’s stock price at $24 today. 📚 Check GameStop's investor site or SEC EDGAR for the 425/8-K exhibits (offer letter, presentation). It states (which he doubled down in the Charles Payne interview) that he will offset dilution with higher earnings performance. “Good dilution it was called.” It’s still DILUTION OF GME COMMON to afford Ebay on the stock side. He either needs: -A restructured deal allowing for more cash 70%/30% (third party possibly) or other parameters currently unknown. -GME to $50-60 so he can sell new shares of dilution at a higher value to current Ebay holders. -More debt considerations to afford Ebay. $GME There is nowhere in this proposal that says he can use the future combined price of GME/EBAY to afford EBAY. That’s the same logic as Ebay diluting itself to pay for itself. Delusional.
