Lewis, William... William (@WillLewis_1976) reported@Joshs_Cards8396 If you list the same cards in multiple places, like say you list them on eBay but also take them to a show to sell, if you sell a card don't wait to take it down. Make sure to check any platforms you sell on and take it out of your inventory immediately.

Sparky Buchta (@BuchtaSpar98692) reported@quantum1nvestor If there was (still may be) a merger. GME would have to issue like 1.1 BILLION shares to contribute to exchanging eBay shares for GME shares.There is NO MOASS in GME buying a bigger entity. This is why your moneys gone. And im a GME holder. Not shill.your assumption is false

jlee (@chrOmeandarts) reported@epikvibes for reals. 360p grainy videos. downloading *1* song at a time in terrible quality on limewire and kazaa. the first time I found some used CD sellers on ebay I was sooo happy, finally I could get albums for under $50!
-
moneyFever (@cashpyraxia_) reported@Turdburglar04 @brzomic @The3Antons We will see. So far the company has offered to buy eBay using stock & cash. This would negatively impact GMEs share price. If they issue common stock it will further impact price. As I’ve said before I’m not selling but if this all goes through I expect there will be a buying opp

En Sabah Nur, Mewtwo's Master (@Keith16King) reportedA couple people on here got butthurt when I said I have to leave negative feedback on eBay, but sometimes you don't have a choice. Especially if every other site has no issues arriving on time.
-
Mike (@bcmike2342) reported@ry_childers @CardPurchaser I'm in Texas. I use ESE all the time with no issues. I had one buyer that got upcharged to Ground Advantage last year and I paid them back and got eBay to reimburse me..then I filed a complaint with the postmaster general. I sent about 3000 ESE last year.
-
Stonks and Cards (@stonksandcards) reportedGot a message this morning from a buyer reporting an issue on a high end item I had at auction last night re: not being able to bid. I reach out to ebay to see what I can do. “Cancel the sale and block the buyer to avoid negative feedback.” Paraphrasing a bit here BUT WTF
-
junkDrawer.ai (@junkDrawer_ai) reported@ValueAddedRS FBA has essentially failed for the original vision Amazon had any they subsidized it massively for years. If they can’t make it work I don’t think anyone else can. I say it failed because FBA is now a terrible deal and hassle for small sellers or small quantities, they are getting pushed off the platform. Now FBA I’m sure is very profitable and strategic still for Amazon but it’s a different very narrow focus, at huge scale. ebay-type inventory just didn’t work there
-
SoCalSonic (Front Row Card Show) (@surferbrg) reportedUp early because repair man going to come by to fix my shower and depending on how the repair goes might head over to oceanside later on. If not got a few errands to knock out. Including got another ebay sale this morning.

Col (@Col45398669) reported@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.
-
TeddyGameshireBathaway (@bathaway21423) reported@idealideas @maus97954 everyone so emotionally committed to ebay?(not saying you are)We supposed to be contrarians. Ryan's offer gave the green light for shorts to leverage up and double down shorting. But the share authorization is not for ebay, he tricked them. Hes launching Teddy from DK ,no Ebay.

LammyFamCards (@LammyFamCards) reportedOrdered a card off eBay...totally forgot about it...got a message that it is now in transit. Tracking # was provided on May 13....USPS in possession on the 18th...is this a USPS problem or a seller being slow problem?
-
Aleksei | Only21M (@AMoneroHodler) reported@zectrillionaire @Jace_TCG Imo it's a 5% convenience fee. You already get down to 85% selling on ebay. MTG used to have Card Kingdom which was pretty good at trading in random bulk for good cards but now their high end stuff is ridiculously marked up.

THATGUY (@BRENNY_BETS) reported@SD_BillR @CardPurchaser @eBay Dealing with the same issue what is going on here?!!

Teresa N (@msunc1985) reported@eBay I am very disappointed at the service I have received from your customer service support, they are rude, and totally useless. My issue is still not resolved and several just hung up on me. I suggest you change to Grok for your customer service. I requested to speak with a supervisor numerous times and they refuse. This is unacceptable customer service.😔

Shawn (@Shawn7dgh) reported@shanedamainn Not gonna sell you retard...you can't sell stolen goods on eBay... will be taken down

Lem (@Ohlem_) reported@shadows_united Debated Brothership just because of the deal but that Marvel vs Capcom collection might hold me down until Tokon drops. Almost like those bastards at GameStop said they didn’t need the EBay deal and had other means of making money smh
-
Grey (@grey_loving) reported@lxnamyun I mostly use ebay or just go to local card shops. Ebay is similar to tcg player tho. you have to make sure ur looking at how good the reviews are and that there are a good number of them to help minimize issues.

Kevin Siegel (@Scarriet_Bubman) reported@DadRipsPacks @wemby210 @CardPurchaser eBay doesn't always show sold amount though which is a huge issue
-
werewolf holdings (@WerewolfHolding) reported$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
-
VirtualBacon (@virtualbacon) reportedBeen ripping packs the past week on @readycards Tried Whatnot, Fanatics Live, eBay breaks before. Same problem every time: trusting the streamer didn't pre-look, and any chase card is locked up for weeks on PSA before you can sell. Ready Cards is the first I've used where every pack is PSA-pre-graded and the pull is committed onchain via VRF before the break starts. Hit a card, you already know the grade, instant marketplace bid sitting right there. Disclosure: investor + they gave me SPIN credits to try it.

The Coyote With No Name (@CoyoteKn0wsBest) reportedIts almost like you all lynched one of the people trying to help fix eBay. Weird.
-
Kyle Johnson (God First Always) (@KyleJohns770) reported@ReinoFanClub13 Not terrible but I like to scour eBay for the CCM or starter jerseys first because it’s the real thing and the quality doesn’t hit the same. Yeah it looks new and nice (because it is) but it’s not like you pulled it from your dad’s closet.

Magus (@TraderMagus) reported"How did you get your starting capital?" -I worked 50h a week @ corp job -I worked 10h a month "on call" for corp sales -I bought & sold stuff on ebay; couple hours a week(normally during my day job working hours) -Middle man side hustle; 10-15 hours a week Worked around 60-75 hours per week With remained of my time I studied markets I lived far below my means and invested all my extra capital into equities/metals and then crypto I grinded like this from 2015 to 2019 until I had my first really successful swing trade with Chainlink(avg buy $0.43 & sold into google pump close to $5) I finally had a capital base from saving, investing & trading This is when I started planning to quit my job and go full time From 2019 I really leveled up my trading putting every ounce of effort/time I had into the game Late 2020 into 2021 my capital base exploded from being long BTC/ETH early, riding Defi and then playing the rotate game into Metaverse I still worked really long hours until 2022 bear market, the first time I slowed down and focused on my life Fast forward to 2026, I still would say I outwork most people but health and enjoying my day to day is my primary goal moving forward Intraday is like a dayjob with small wins/loses Swing Trading/Portfolio is where the real growth comes from
