  Hey @eBay, how much longer are the issues with creating/updating listings going to go on? It's been days now. For the fees you charge, things should get fixed so you can charge more ridiculous fees.

  @SCUncensored Reach out to eBay. You now have absolute proof he has broken the seller terms. Decent chance he gets suspended permanently.

  So I made some questionable purchases. Don't sleep on ex-biz refurbs/2nd hands. Worth reading if you think PC hardware is expensive. Mini pc server going from Intel 6th gen 4c4t 12gb ddr4, 256gb to a 6p8e cpu, 16gb ddr5, 512gb from Q1 2025 for £390 (sic!). Imma trade in the stick and max it out to 64gb ram, 2nd hand oem sodimm. I plan on running 3ish Claw-likes on it, a windows VM, a local ERP system and databases (I sorta started working for my mate's software company - I'll tailscale it out to him so we can run coding agents and ****, have the Claws run the company admin, another Claw for my freelancing and another one for PA purposes) I also got tired of my old but trusty Thinkpad x13 8gb ram (soldered) 6c12t 256gb (it's trying, bless it, but it overheats and the hoops I need to go through for Chromium to behave. side note, also post-biz 2nd hand I got for like £220) to a... T14gen1 4c8t, 48gb ram (WTF), 1tb ssd (WTF) for £570 (WTAF). Yeah it's old. But it comes from an ebay seller that sells loads of thinkpad components. They probably know what they're doing. This one is a crossgrade, as the CPU is worse, but it's my BS machine for youtube/browser/ssh - I know what I need from it. Obvs, 1tb is gonna land in the server. Again, there are millions of unwanted post-deprecation PCs that all have very random decent specs. What they do not do is run any GPU workloads (AI or gaming) so nobody wants them. I swore to myself my current big desktop is gonna be my last one (5800x3d, 32gb ddr4 3600 ram, 1tb ssd, rtx5070, great mobo, fancy PSU, noctua fans, the full shebang). It just makes no sense. Just get a somewhat decent 2nd hand office PC, upgrade the ram, get an oculink card or smthg, and trade it in for a newer model every year or two. It will cost you, as you see, £390ish, they will buy it back for probably £200+, unless prices spike up even more, and you never really risk it breaking down (5 year warranty and these PCs have been used on office tasks, 40 hrs a week, which is probably less than us nerds run ours, same goes for the laptop, it was probably used very casually). You absolutely do not need the top of the line hardware, a mac mini or any other crap that people are telling you to buy. Obvs there are use cases when this isn't going to work - local AI, compiling heavy stuff (unless you wanna wait), gaming... And I understand for some this is still a lot of money. But compare it to the "I need an Apple computer" mentality and suddenly it's fish & chips money. And yes, you bet I will be trading in my current gear to fund the max-out-RAM upgrades, it will just about cover getting 64gb ddr5 sodimms. Anyway, just yapping. Hope this helps someone. You can absolutely get the job done on the budget, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

  @dab_king86 Oh bro I'm so glad you brought this up. Be SO CAREFUL with Chinese Pokemon on eBay. There's a recent surge of new Chinese sellers, selling things at like half value or less. It's all fake stuff. And it's a huge problem right now on eBay. 🫤

  Who does everyone PC or want to buy? I need some sales to help pay for my wedding next month and my EBay sales have slowed down a bit. @CardPurchaser I don’t know if I’d sell on here unless they were very well vouched for or legit but I’ll make custom lots on eBay if asked!!

  moerscards (@moerscards) reported 21 minutes ago

  @WaxMetrix @eBay As long as you haven't broken the void seal - contact ebay and tell them that you want a refund bc the card was damaged by their authentication team. The first thing they are going to do is go to the seller and ask if they will accept a refund for the item. If the seller declines, which they should, ebay will come back to you and offer you a discounted price. You can negotiate this. If you don't want the card they will have to eat it, if you do you should be able to get a significant amount off. Do not take the fall for their lack of accountability. To have a team of people who can authenticate an item and be experts in what they do but not know how to ship something properly in 2026 is ridiculous. Don't let them off the hook. Don't ever surrender (Churchill voice).

  i don’t know what possessed me to make a hot rod-inspired collage recently, but i quickly realized i had almost no source material with vintage cars. cue me falling down an ebay rabbit hole… these late 70s hot rod magazines showed up today and i’m completely obsessed. i’m not even really a car person. i’m just hopelessly drawn to old printed matter… they feel like little time capsules. one of the weird things about being a collage artist is that sometimes i buy vintage magazines specifically to cut apart… and sometimes i open them and immediately decide they’re too beautiful to destroy. i think a few of these are staying in the collection forever.

  @RsGimble @SkyNews You are correct. As an eBay seller, a lot of my items are sent with evri and I haven't had an issue since I started 12 months ago. Back in their early days they were fairly unreliable, from my experiences they have turned that around.

  @bishopcruz @CarpensSam @Canadianguyehh It also doesn't account for the second-hand market. Sony isn't getting rid of discs because they're unpopular, it's because they don't get a cut of the games sold at GameStop, eBay, local marketplaces, or those handed down/gifted/lent to friends or family. It's pure greed.

  @WaxMetrix I talked to an ebay rep about a different issue that I didn't think was going to get resolved. That conversation also went really well and they gave me more than I expected. They have good people there. It's just getting to them that's frustrating, and obviously these situations.

  @andyburnham just place windfall tax of amazon & eBay ( flat rate on turnover not profit , as that is manipulated by inter holding company. Offshoring of profit and good sales to ensure UK tax take is low) for high street renewal and cutting business rates in run down cities

  @dlamini_sa2411 @Gigiof5momof2 @Oluchisxn I'm starting to think this is a good wife test. If your girl wants a $20,000 ring and a $60,000 wedding, she's not wife material. I got my rings off Amazon. About $100 each for two. I've got some fancy costume jewelry off Ebay that other women have swooned over. I tell them every time that I chose the $20 ring off ebay and a new track saw and remind young women about priorities. Money is finite and none of us are super rich. Put that money in a 401K or use it as a down payment on a car/house.

  @ThePokeMD This issue would be compensated from eBay with a request for, “package lost”. It was not sellers fault so this would fall under eBay’s insurance that you pay for.

  PCIFIC is also expanding beyond the marketplace itself with PCIFIC Safeguard, our browser extension. We are optimising for eBay first. The idea is simple: PCIFIC should help buyers and sellers wherever they already are. For buyers, the extension appears directly inside the eBay listing page. You do not need to open a clunky popup, copy a URL, or paste details into another tool. PCIFIC renders inside the eBay UI, near the buying decision. When you click Review with PCIFIC, the extension reviews the visible listing details, seller signals, reviews, condition claims, item description, returns information, and listing context. It then gives you a plain-English report. It can highlight things like: • Vague condition wording • Missing proof • Unclear accessories • Suspicious listing history patterns • Seller signal concerns • Product details that may confuse buyers • Questions worth asking before paying PCIFIC Safeguard is a decision-support tool. It surfaces patterns, explains risk signals, and helps buyers ask better questions before spending money. One example is listing history. Sometimes a listing can show a large number of sales, which creates trust. But if the listing was previously used for a cheaper item and later changed into an expensive device, that sold count may not mean what the buyer thinks it means. PCIFIC Safeguard looks for patterns like that and explains them clearly. The extension also gives buyers a score, a simple status such as Looks safe or Check first, and a copyable message they can send to the seller. For sellers, the extension works inside the eBay listing flow. When you are creating a listing, PCIFIC can show fee guidance directly in the UI, so you understand what eBay may take before you publish. It also adds a Review with PCIFIC button for sellers. This reviews your draft listing from a buyer’s point of view. It checks whether your title, description, condition notes, price, and trust signals make sense. For example, if your title says the item is in good condition but your description suggests heavy wear, PCIFIC can flag that. If buyers may want battery health, warranty information, proof of reset, accessory details, or clearer photos, PCIFIC can point that out before the listing goes live. The extension also saves review states between sessions. So if you reviewed a listing two days ago and come back to it later, PCIFIC remembers that. You do not need to regenerate the same review again. This matters because marketplace buying is not always instant. People compare listings, leave tabs open, come back later, message sellers, and sleep on decisions. PCIFIC Safeguard is built around how people actually shop. The bigger vision is not only eBay and not only tech. Tech is the first category because it has obvious trust problems: IMEI checks, serial numbers, battery health, device locks, specs, repairs, warranties, and hidden condition issues. But the same idea can apply to watches, trading cards, collectables, fashion, cars, and other categories where buyers need help understanding risk and trust. PCIFIC started as a UK tech marketplace. But the bigger mission is becoming clearer: PCIFIC helps people make safer, clearer marketplace decisions before money changes hands. And with tools like findr, buildr, PCIFIC Checkup, and PCIFIC Safeguard, we are not just trying to make another marketplace. We are building the tools that marketplaces should have had already. Our philosophy is simple: wherever friction exists, we look for a way to reduce it. If AI is the right tool, we use AI. If a simple button, QR code, manual review, form, verification flow, or buyer checklist solves the problem better, we use that instead. The point is not to make everything automated. The point is to make buying and selling feel easier, safer, and clearer for normal people.

  @GoldLineGambler @eBay @CardPurchaser There is another angle here. If you don’t like someone’s shipping fee don’t bid or buy from them. Thats what I do. And if someone asks why my shipping is more it’s because it’s an hour or more round trip to ship cheaply via USPS because they shut down both satellite locations.

  @CardboardPicker They listed this "prototype" and it "sold" for $501. They listed it again and it "sold" for $300. They listed it a 3rd time, I called them out on it, they yanked down the listing once I exposed them. Ebay no longer allows winning bids to get out of paying. They got busted.

  Another problem I was having that that I bought cheap ebay headers for this car and, we'll, they didn't fit well. Specifically, they hit the steering shaft in two places. This is, unfortunately, exceedingly common and why the ebay brand headers are so cheap.

  Competitors reprice 24/7. Most sellers can't keep up. Built CompeteIQ to fix that — an AI agent that monitors prices across Amazon, Walmart, eBay in real time and automatically adjusts your listings to stay competitive. Intelligent repricing, not just mechanical matches.

  @RealMattCouch Wow, so many retards in this thread. You are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to tell the officer if you have a gun. But i guess many of you bought your guns off ebay or craigslist or the chimps down the road, or from the 2-toothed hick that owns the derelict gun shop.
