    @diygolf @Fireblade_Jim It can be difficult. I send all my eBay stuff through them and have only had maybe 2 issues in 200+ deliveries.

    @grok @Timmber_ @BigV47983505 Alright, I got tired of your same answers. It would matter if they were coordinating buys in order to purchase eBay It would come down to some specifics though, like did they buy at the same time, did they use the same lawyers and ****. It would matter that the board was involved in buying eBay and he is chairman, but it would not be cut and dry, that is for sure So technically he can get away with it, but just because they skirt the filings doesn’t mean it won’t be a problem after the fact. **** it, why not go for it. Just not sure RC is that risk adverse

    I think regardless if this solana:7HgfXftRBBqsYtAEYcqjGLQrNJLL6Tww9ek4rE3Apump becomes crazy crazy like 20x it’s still gonna prob pump on eBay acquisition news as that develops. I mean think it’s up 40% today on nothing if it comes out there’s a tender offer for eBay maybe it 100-150% in a day depending on market cap ofc I feel like there’s been days GME has dumped on dilution but arguably good for gme raising cash etc so maybe this coin becomes an inverse like oh ya gme goes down in dilution but gme is long term better off in real assets so this coin pumps solana:7HgfXftRBBqsYtAEYcqjGLQrNJLL6Tww9ek4rE3Apump

    is, I bought the exact same item on eBay and received it in just 3 days. My recommendation: never buy anything from B&Q online shop, and specifically this seller. And just bear in mind, if any issue comes up, don’t expect real support from B&Q either. @BandQ @bandq_help

    $EBAY Another problem with this...is the timing...markets are at all time highs....ebay at all time highs....bad time to take over a company...that is why we are looking for a No. 1 play here.....we are looking for a 50% gain or more on this oddness.... @cnbc

    @wallenius_brian I keep looking on ebay for unhappy Fender owners letting theirs go cheap. Nothing yet. Looks like it's just the S-style owners, and youtubers who are paid to advertise S-styles who have a problem with this. Just because Fender let it slide for so long doesn't make it ok.

    @eBay I made my first sale on eBay and it was genuinely the worst experience I’ve ever had. The website is glitchy, it’s impossible to navigate, there was an error with my order and you have no customer support to help me. The ai assistant is awful. Horrible product.

  • MainPerth

    @alt_w_v_g Thank you! As an ebay seller for many years the changes have only made everything harder. You MUST pay for 'Promoted Listings' (a misnomer if ever there was one!) to even be normally seen. You have to sell an item to be seen. You have to list an item to be seen. The search engine is TERRIBLE. Absolutely hopeless to buy or sell. There is SO much that needs sorting out. It's as if the company has actively TRIED to lose money over the last 10+ years.

    @TeddyKaccy123 @unpaidbasher @markt83101520 Right. Seems logical to me. Also sets a precedent if eBay attempts to do something similar. Really tough case to make of turning down an offer greater than the value of the company if it’s being mismanaged.

    I forgot how stressful selling on eBay can be. I’ve got 2 people “watching” the auctions but no actual bids. Which probably won’t happen until the last 24 hours. Can y’all please put down one bid to give my anxiety a rest I beg 😭

    @luvblessingz Just go on eBay and buy one with a new battery or buy one and fix it/mod it yourself. I use my iPod every day and it brings such joy to my life. All I hear is music, no incoming texts, notifications, or calls. Freedom.

    @Ileane Occasionally, I have bought products on eBay, but mainly used stuff. I once sent back a broken product. eBay has a good return policy. Broken products must say "for parts only" or "not working"—something like that.

    Open your bank statement right now. Count every subscription. Netflix. Spotify. ChatGPT Plus. Claude. Adobe. Apple One. Disney+. iCloud. YouTube Premium. Audible. NYT. Dropbox. Notion. Gym. Dating app. A 2026 study found the average American spends $219 a month on subscriptions. That is $2,628 a year. But they estimate they spend $86 a month. 74% of people admit they have forgotten about a recurring charge. 42% are currently paying for a subscription they have stopped using. A Portuguese developer named Miguel Ribeiro got tired of bleeding money to forgotten subscriptions. He lives in Berlin and works as a senior frontend engineer at eBay Kleinanzeigen by day. At night he tried Billbot and a bunch of paid web apps. None of them worked. Some of them charged him a monthly fee to track his monthly fees. So in October 2023 he wrote his own. The repo today: → 7,922 stars → 365 forks → GPL-3.0 licensed → Pushed last week → 69 followers on the founder's profile It is called Wallos. You self-host it. It tracks every subscription, every renewal date, every category, every currency, and shows you the actual number on one screen. Here is the wildest part: The subscription companies designed the system this way on purpose. 72% of people set everything to auto-pay because the checkout flow defaults to it. Cancellation pages are buried 5 clicks deep. Some require a phone call during business hours. A 2022 FTC report called this "dark patterns" and Adobe is paying $150 million in a settlement for hiding cancellation fees this exact way. Miguel did not raise venture capital. He did not write a Medium post. He did not go on a podcast. He shipped one PHP app from his apartment in Berlin and now thousands of people use it to claw back hundreds of dollars a year. The honest part: It needs a tiny server (a $5 Raspberry Pi works). You have to enter subscriptions yourself, it does not auto-detect from your bank. The UI is functional, not gorgeous. The author still works a day job and ships updates in his spare time. Berlin. One developer. The companies that auto-charge you forever finally have an enemy.

    Ryan Cohen put market makers short gme in a bind. If eBay goes up we get richer on options. If eBay goes down or stays flat we continue accumulating.

    Hey @eBay it is not cool that a seller can't choose "ebay standard envelope" on orders above $20, but a buyer can. Forcing sell to either eat the extra shipping or cancel the item and take the negative effects of that. Please fix this.

    Scrumbopulous X (@ScrumbopulousX) reported

    @HobbyHero_Bros @eBay I've reported fake listings, and even showed that there were multiples of the same card posted using the same pictures, description, everything. And eBay always comes back and says ''This account does not go against our policies". Even if you can't PROVE the card is fake, or it's a BS listing, at the very least they should acknowledge and take down listings that have the same picture/description. Nope. Apparently you can have 100 different accounts with the exact same pictures/description. That isn't against eBay's policy, even though it's literally one of the menu selections on ''why are you reporting this post?''

    GameStop has increased its stake in eBay to 6.55% from about 5% amid CEO Ryan Cohen’s shocking push to take over the online marketplace, according to a regulatory filing. The move to hike its stake came after eBay rejected the $56 billion takeover proposal, calling the unsolicited bid “neither credible nor attractive.” EBay flagged multiple issues with GameStop’s bid, citing concerns around the uncertainty of the proposed financing structure, as well as potential operational challenges and the debt burden the deal could create. $GME
