    @615gh0st It’s crazy how bad USPS has gotten. I’ve been buying lots of singles for my collection on eBay and tcgplayer and I’ve had so many issues lately. I’ve had to request refunds because some stuff never showed up.

    Trying out bumping our eBay promotions down to 2%. Saw a video of a guy that still had success doing that so we will see.

    @ebay is a fraud ridden scam marketplace. I've had enough. Understand that eBay has zero incentive to correct fraud, they profit from it. This is a caution, intended for anyone that needs to be disabused of the notion that the eBay platform offers either party in a transaction security assurances. They don't. They will continue defrauding their users until it becomes unprofitable, and not before. Whether you intend to buy, or become a seller, you will be ripped off, finding out once it's too late that the promises, the commitments eBay claims to have toward being a safe and fair marketplace, are garbage. The check cleared, they got theirs, you lose. Stay away from eBay, if you value your sanity, and your wallet. It's a broken company run by dysfunctional, sick people. Avoid eBay at all cost.

    @CardPurchaser It's not @CheckOutMyCards. (COMC). They used to be the BEST on ebay. Now their volume has eclipsed their service ability. Slow ship times, no top loaders anymore, insane shipping costs, and zero response on issues. Used to love them, but will never buy from them again.

    @Rakermoon I saw a post with a communication from ebay that took down the listing so I really hope they keep doing this

    @HagaEme @cryaboutitboy The point is to not purchase anything that will put money in Sony playstation's pocket. People are purchasing second hand games from ebay and such. And showing no PSN activity by disconnecting from the internet to show the scope of players participating in the outage. More or less.

    @AcmePacks @eBay Agreed! also, when you have the app minimized in the background on your phone and you’re not touching it and then you reopen it and somehow it pops up with some live feeds you never clicked on or tried to watch. It’s terrible. 🤮🤮

    @SecretService On January 9 2013, Howard County MD, Agent Scott Windish and Agent Nick Jonte and 1 More agent came from Baltimore downtown Secret Service headquarters, blackmailed us saying that we will shut down your business account if you don’t give us the money in your bank account because of 2 stolen phones we purchased from eBay without any knowledge . Agent Scott Windish then opened my car glove box and took 3k cash and took my phone on the way to Wells Fargo and we waited at the Wells Fargo waiting for the teller in line for 10 min and he made me say the teller write a 39.000 dollars cashiers check under SECRET SERVICE and after they took me to STARBUCKS and made me sign paperworks… Need our money back 39k was seized as check , 3 k cash and 15 attorney fees .

    @CardGameNomad Do booster box prices tank if the distributor charges almost $400 before it even gets to the LGS? Ridiculous Pokemon company allows that kind of greed. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they took down an ebay listing of an unreleased card. But seems small potatoes in comparison.

    @Stndst1lL_wiL @Dexerto You probably ain’t gonna get the card sent to you eBay will probably just end up refunding your money to you and taking down the listing

    @PokeCardsDaily I keep a pretty close eye on eBay too, but I rarely find any real bargains. I guess it all comes down to timing.

    @0xiTweets @Sans_Google It has already had its logic board replaced once due to the well-known bootloop issue. I also have a Red Hydrogen One (yes, that weird overpriced phone with the stereoscopic 3D camera and stereoscopic 3D screen, but I got it on the cheap from eBay) as another Android 8.x device.

    I’ve been a gamer since 1998. I don’t think I’ve EVER had this much trouble getting a physical game on or shortly after the release date. My entire life, there’s always been a standard that if you wake up early and go to your local video game store, you can get a copy (if you can get there before a line forms or they sell out). And even then, there’s copies that restock shortly thereafter. It’s been two weeks. Ya’ll should be embarrassed by the current eBay listings. Yes I saw your posts @bethesda @BethesdaStudios saying more copies are coming but this is ridiculous. September is next week and NONE of the stores or their websites have any copies.

    Ordered a card on eBay and the seller DMd me and said “thanks for the order, I’m guessing you’re a Gogeta fan?” brother I’m just trying to play a broken deck and this card is unfair lmao

    @soitgoeslexi tbh, this feels kind of sketchy to me. i feel like if a parent stepped in and provided an id, ebay would have no issues releasing the funds. I would be very hesitant to do this

    Update…. You might wanna sell customs privately altogether NASCAR is going door to door shutting down people’s eBay accounts for selling customs.

    Seems like an easy update fix for @eBay to automatically not allow cards that have autos to be submitted for direct grading to @PSAcard from the sale. Simply after the authentication takes place they should then send card back knowing it won't be graded for autos if thats case.

    @premiercards_2 @BallHawks_Cards You can resolve the issue by resharing your tracking details and then waiting for eBay to step in! I never said ignore it lol.

    @eBay @depop You guys are ******* pathetic. I’m so tired. I can’t reach customer service when I’m going through an issue that you make your customers who pay for your website disgustingly we gotta jump through hoops just to get somebody from ******* service on the phone.

    @DavidV_81 @artur @eBay You probably have defaults in place that you set 17 years ago. eBay is settings defaults that result in outrageous shipping prices and the seller has no clue. This is something eBay needs to fix, and can't be blamed on sellers.

    @aeugh989 @DCOfficial @Disney That’s crazy to think about Unfortunately, eBay told me there wasn’’t any wrongdoing (prolly cause he took it down), so i can’t get justice for the other art hes got on there, but it at least motivated me to get print accounts going so i can avoid this

    @Poojagarg369 @eBay @ebay is a terrible scammy company. Do not be deceived, they are not simply an intermediary, they profit from the scams and the fraud, they're invested in ripping people off.

    I ended up ordering a used Fujifilm Finepix XP10 from eBay (since I mostly plan to use it outdoors) just to test out first and then I'll work to investing in something else down the line

    Quick heads up: Over the weekend I had an inventory glitch that caused roughly half of my 7,000 listings to be removed on eBay and CollX. The company I use for inventory management has since completed a bulk restore, and most everything appears to be back where it should be, but I’m still finding a few oddities here and there. If you happen to come across a card in my store that shows unavailable, looks out of place, or seems like something isn’t right with the listing, please let me know. I’d appreciate the extra set of eyes while I finish getting everything cleaned up. 🔎 Find Your Next Favorite Card.

    At 13, Vitalii Dodonov's father gave him a choice: pocket money, or a job packing parachutes at his drop zone. He took the job. It came with summers together. He is now CTO of Stan, which does about $30M a year with 30 people and takes 0% of what creators sell. Four things I learned from him at FounderHouse today. 1. At 17, studying in Canada meant roughly $100,000 in debt. He built an Excel sheet: salaries, living costs, repayment timelines, ten years out. The math said Canada. 2. He told his father he didn't speak English. His father said that was his problem. 3. He was not trained as a software engineer. He studied chemical engineering and computer process control, worked at Deloitte and eBay, then taught himself to build. 4. Late 2022, at roughly $1M ARR, he and John Hu deleted the transaction fee. Competitors were taking 10 to 20% of creator sales. Stan went to a flat subscription and creators kept the upside. Revenue grew 8.5x the following year. Today: $600M+ in creator earnings, 85,000 active creators. Outside capital: one $5M seed from Forerunner. Traditional advertising: none. He also still builds in public. He spent two weeks posting an AI agent on LinkedIn while he was building it. That agent became Stanley. It shipped in 14 days. Most technical leaders I know publish less as they get more senior. He does the opposite. When was the last time you published something before you had it figured out? Stanley is live. Try it yourself 👇

    so i list it on ebay. no reserve. manny ends up contacting me and claims the guitar was stolen and he wants it returned. now being a recovering lawyer i knew i was a bona fide buyer in due course and had no notice of fraud so the guitar was probably legitimately mine. nevertheless i offered it to him for…$500. instead of being agreeable. that rocker took to his website claiming i was selling stolen goods. threatened to sue me. lol. needless to say the deal did not go down. later a broker contacted me and paid $5000 for it for the hard rock cafe. I used the money to pay for a beach vacation for my brother's family and mine. it was a good time. but i miss the guitar. it was bona fide bad ***. you can't keep everything. if anyone has seen it in the wild let me know.

    @eBay Trying to get some help with an account issue and automated responses are absolutely hopeless. I’ve emailed several times, get pushed back into a loop and again no help whatsoever. Please can I have contact details for a human being in your support dept. 😤
