Franklin Cormorant (@FranklinCormor1) reported@thewebbie @amazon The fluctuating delivery times I can live with; I just expect that as a result of the many variables inherent in online shopping. The packaging quality, however, is a big problem. Amazon built its sales volume on cut-rate shipping deals with USPS and UPS that other retailers couldn't match. That could hold out unless -guess what- we suffer an inflationary period driving up energy and labor costs. Now they can't afford to pay for proper boxes, packing, and skilled workers to sort & pack properly. (For anyone with an eBay side hustle you know that's actually quite a skill). So I concur that the amount of large items shipped in cheap envelopes is increasing, meaning we get more broken and missing stuff. Amazon will keep doing this until the cost of refunds and returns overwhelm the packaging savings...and I fear the end of the "free shipping" era is near.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 206 Total sales: $1,148.99 eBay earnings: $854.40 Buy cost (COG): $296.57 Net profit: $557.83 ROI: 188% Items sold: Home protection equipment, pressure washer part, automotive part, battery charger, carburetor, & sports training equipment. Another $1K+ sales day. 🔥 The key is having enough quality inventory listed to make these days possible. Today's sales also came from several completely different categories, which continues to reinforce the importance of diversifying inventory rather than relying on one type of product. The work continues behind the scenes too. Refresh old listings Fix listings that aren't getting attention Adjust pricing on stale inventory Keep sourcing Keep listing 206 days in & I'm still pushing forward. Some days are small. Some days are big. But the goal is the same every day, keep moving the business forward. On to Day 207. 📦💪🚀

johnny - Knicks 2026 Champion (@JOHNNYCATO000) reported@AmmarNasirMD I was just checking some out on eBay and they’re reselling for almost $400 but I don’t feel like overpaying for it honestly. I’d rather get some shirts down the line or the black Nba final hat

Koda (@koda6699) reportedThe photograph that disappeared for 150 years Richard Carrington was an astronomer. In 1859, he looked through a telescope and saw something nobody had recorded before. A huge flash erupted from the Sun. Less than a day later, a powerful solar storm hit Earth. Telegraph systems failed. Auroras appeared far beyond their usual range. The event became known as the Carrington Event. But there was one strange problem. Nobody knew what Carrington looked like. No photograph of him could be found. For decades, historians searched museums and archives for a missing portrait. Nothing. Then, in 2025, an archivist at the Royal Astronomical Society checked something much less obvious. eBay. She found an old photograph being sold by a shop in Pittsburgh. The seller had simply listed it as: “Photo of Mr Carrington.” It was him. On the back, faint writing gave another clue: “R C Carrington, Esquire for C V Walker, Esquire.” The photograph had been missing for about 150 years. Now it has a home in the Royal Astronomical Society archives.

Jake (@gauchojake) reported@__tinygrad__ I just went down this rabbit hole on eBay yesterday. It’s insane.

Mr8000 (@mr8mil) reportedA few weeks back I bought this card from a tip on @enzo_tcg discrod. This card comes from the Blue Trial Deck of FW from 2023, basically one of the first leader cards of all FW. Hard to find in EN, this is the only version I could get my hands on EBay. Even if this card does not meet expectations down the road, I love the “vintagy” look of it. Source and user name: dissociated, thanks for bringing this into attention. Appreciate it!

Jonathan Fairbourne (@JonFairbourne) reported@StonksMae Problem is everyone is confused and there is no clear direction. Buying eBay or no? CEO unpaid or getting 35B? More dilution coming? Bonds being converted or not? Too much uncertainty

maeve (@lizziedossss) reported@TheShazamPow i actually looked this up the other day. its technically a grey area but it is blacklisted from ebay. so yes its a problem if you sell it but apparently owning it is fine?

Jenny Jen Jennifer VCR Queen (@vcrqueenjen) reported@FoxgirlGoRawr Yep! Overall, I've not had terrible luck with returns given the amount of things I've sold on ebay but it does happen from time to time & for some cursed reason I've had a few returns in the past couple weeks. It's abnormal to have multiple in such a short time and I don't like it lol

Brian (@briansdsea) reported@BosCardHunter Just had an order showed delivered recently and it wasn’t a ES order. My mail that was delivered that day and another eBay package all showed delivered at 1:37 pm at box. This one showed 10:37 am. $4.99 Samad Taylor auto…..so I didn’t make a fuss or go down to post office.

Naomi June (@njkjh00) reported@united_imadoki Buying a broken laser pointer for 15 really set the bar for everything sold on eBay ever since

XRPL Forum (@xrpforum) reported@FinanceLancelot Was on the phone with eBay today, the agent told me with humor he basically does not have to do anything anymore, its all handled with AI Agents that make all the decisions and process the issues, he's literally just there because we want to speak to real people still.

NVSportsCards (@NVSportsCards) reported@CardsMax If Comc didn’t take 6 months to process or ship, they could have caused real problems for ebay.
