  @price_dominie Finding one is the issue as collectors salivate the second they get released. eBay generally has them for $150+used basically new. I’ll probably get one that way.

  @pussycocaineeth @iK9cards FedEx might be a bit cheaper but eBay needs to fix this so it’s automated only if needed

  @JayStrellson @antonydavies It’s also bizarre that the problem is the people subsidizing Walmart to pay workers below sustenance, but you want to talk about eBay. Eliminate profit, and Walmart will have plenty of money to pay workers.

  @DBankrichards Import has its own pros and cons The biggest disadvantage of imported cars in UK market apart from several other things is 1. Available of right part 2. Getting the car insured So if your imported car develop a problem which is normal for all used cars, when you drive into Lexus in uk to get the part, they won’t have and they cannot ride it for you And sadly you will not get parts on eBay. Even to change windscreen (general glass will not have glass for you) The second issue I know a car that’s been on sale for over 12 months now, not because it wasn’t sold. Different buyer came, made payment but they are unable to get the car insured, so they return it. And the insurance also tends to charge higher premiums for no reason on imported cars.

  Mid-way through last year, somebody won an auction for a stapler from $GME that was listed on eBay, and it made national news. There was a charity component to that auction and a further donation from the winner, that was super cool and made the whole thing super wholesome. I believe it was the first official listing from GameStop's then-new eBay account, which is cool to think about in retrospect. But then, that person and his team, almost immediately, started using this recognition and reach to promote something called GameStop on Ethereum, a shitcoin that has absolutely nothing to do with GameStop. A bunch of influencers from the community helped him, and he even had big names with 1M+ followers talking about how "cool" it was that this guy was buying up this shitcoin that is backed by absolutely nothing, because it had limited supply. A lot of poeple bought in, both to the shitcoin and the hype. They used GameStop's nationwide and social-wide recognition to promote their agenda of buying this shitcoin. I raised alarm bells and even messaged the person directly, as well as some of his friends and associates saying how wrong it was that they were using the GameStop cash tag to promote this crap without clarifying that it had nothing to do with GameStop and it was a really bad look, not just for the person doing this, but for GameStop as well to be associated with this shitcoin. That is already a wide-ranging problems on many crypto platforms, and actions like this from people that know better makes this problem worse. They even had a physical event that they claimed was GameStop sponsored at first, but then GameStop had them remove their logo and any mentions of official sponsorship from GameStop from their event page. Well, a picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe in this case a picture is worth millions of dollars. Not cool. I have all of that person and his teams shenanigans blocked, but please beware of crypto scams associating themselves with GameStop. One thing I hope that comes from the Clarity act is more enforcement, and some harsh criminal repercussions for defrauding the general public. If they make an example of a few, everyone else will fall in line and take their scams elsewhere.

  @joshuas430 @BosCardHunter I haven’t ever sold anything through eBay so I wouldn’t be knowledgeable enough to speak on it, on the buying end, I’ve been told about undisclosed flaws or problems which I don’t mind because I typically buy rare and unique items so I won’t find another. But it’s nice to know

  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

  @Funko2020 I guess I’m glad I didn’t try. I will catch it on eBay once they go down.

  @Nightflight1966 @eBay Oh my God you are so right, they work hand-in-hand with the corruption, and they tell you that they’re going to take down the buyer and not let them sell on the platform which is another lie, Ebay sucks hard I’ve been a seller for over 20 years I’m about to pull all my items off
