Peanut (@JuggaloPeanut) reported@Royals_Cards One thing that has pushed me to leave ALOT more neutral feedback as been eBays new automated system. I dont leave negative feedback if it's a minor issues. Now I leave neutral feedback. I will not allow eBay to automatically leave a positive feedback.

Leo (@Leo_R_UK) reported@Samaytwt Look you can buy a decent second hand i5 i7 server put Linux on it with 32gb or more for less than £200 all you need to do is terminal into that to code from and you can do that from a 2012 MacBook Air for £60 from eBay. Coding it 2026 shouldn’t be expensive!

Phil A. Buster. (@DanDLio50048934) reported@TugboatPhil @freddavelynn Years ago I bought several years issues of the American Rifleman magazine from the 1950s & 1960s on ebay. None of the mail order ads had zip codes.

Hoos Cards (@HoosCards) reported@Famos21 @HeyAaronW @CardPurchaser You get a receipt when you pay on eBay. So there ya go, cus idk what you mean by that. Topps take $ day of pre order months before any inkling of shipping. Again, calm down buddy. Are you upset cus you like to win auctions then cancel? If not idk why you are crying?

Gravity One (@AJGravityOne) reported@Tiara_Princess7 Always thought that was cool that they handed it down to y’all. Yeah I just need to find one on eBay or something

All4Freedom🇺🇲🐸🍿 (@skillz17q) reported@caesar0817ljc @ParodyComedyP I'm a bot, that's ******* hilarious. I have bought stuff on eBay and got it the next day. Free shipping and no membership fees. The thing about eBay is you can see what state it comes from. I wasn't expecting this post to blow up as much as it did. Amazon used to be pretty decent until they added the United States Postal Service to their system. That's the real issue here.

Tara Daniella White 🏳️⚧️ (@white_tara31129) reported@goodapoll0iv I like this. I bought Watchmen again off eBay years ago and I accidentally bent up the spin of issue 12. I paid over $200 for all 12 comics. I just needed what I owned as a kid. Got it back. Good read.

biz (@biztimes10) reported@GLENNderson1 @SlabtownCollect Yeah the shipping to canada is the problem with ebay. No one changes it to the proper pwe cost.

2SwiFt29 (@kennyng29) reportedDo better @Pokemon Bots still eating, people buying and reselling on eBay already yet here I am with errors and long wait times. unbelievable..
-
All4Freedom🇺🇲🐸🍿 (@skillz17q) reported@lynn_dodds84927 I just found 10 items that are cheaper on eBay vs Amazon in about 15 seconds. Amazon should be faster you're paying a membership fee. Since they started using the United States Postal Service that is went downhill in my area. As for returns I've had a few issues but even if the seller does not want to accept the return eBay forces them to and gives you your money back and sometimes you get to keep the item.

Sixo | Transformers (@SixoTF) reported@arentalis It's a harder one to track down now, for sure — it does pop up but on ebay it's just silly prices
-
Grok (@grok) reported@SeanieQdup @ShiningScience The story is real but from 2018, not recent. Jackson Oswalt (Memphis, TN) built a homemade fusor (inertial electrostatic confinement device) in his bedroom using eBay parts, inspired by a TED Talk. He achieved deuterium fusion at age 12 (technically, just before turning 13), earning a Guinness World Record as the youngest to do so. The FBI visited once with a Geiger counter to check for radiation leaks as a safety precaution—no raid, no issues found. The viral post and image sensationalize it; fusors like this are a known amateur science project, not "star power" fusion.

MiBo @RadioVagabund@radiosocial.de (@do3mib) reported@2j4ez The same problem as with all old cassette decks: the belt. It’s made of rubber, and rubber ages. Either it slips or it’s already snapped. Opening it up and replacing it isn’t difficult; replacement belts are available for very little money, e.g. on eBay

Darwin E. Gutierrez (@00010110DG) reported@PokemonDealsTCG Error 17, but no worries cases of ETBs being sold on eBay already

BP (@everyonebpup) reportedsounds great on paper, but there's a detail: to get your game into the kids catalog, developers must now pay $5/month for roblox plus, pass id verification and enable 2fa. Roblox plus launches april 30. The kids system launches in june, subscription revenue flows first, child safety comes second. and the whole thing runs on facial age estimation that was publicly broken within days of launch. Kids drew wrinkles on their faces and got flagged as 21+. Someone showed a photo of kurt cobain and passed. parents scanned their own faces to unlock chat for their children, accidentally placing minors into the adult tier with full access to adult strangers. Age-verified child accounts showed up on ebay for $5. by q3 2025, users 13 and older made up 2/3 of roblox's 151 million daily players. This was never a kids platform in the way they marketed it. Split is roblox catching up to what the data already showed. meanwhile, 146 families are suing in consolidated federal litigation. state ags are lining up. tennessee's attorney general called roblox "the digital equivalent of a creepy cargo van at the edge of a playground" platform had years to build these walls. It took 146 lawsuits and a biometric pr crisis to make them move.

Alex Callara (@Alex_Callara) reported@pray4goodpulls So is it actually worth it to send a card from eBay directly to PSA? Legitimately asking because I’ve seen it on many cards I’ve bought and have felt like some could’ve been a 10 but didn’t want to spend the extra money and get let down lmao
-
Triple Seven (@Triple___Seven) reportedThis is actually really important. ive been responding a lot about this exact need. Now I need to see if I can get their data and then we can see more volume on the P2P marketplaces. why? because there is a lot of arb between NFTs and ebay. but what was broken to realize this is the fulfillment. if you can have a place like Dylil ship to the buyer. not only does it protect the user. it actually makes the arbitrage more efficient! When more people see this I would expect more volume going to @dyli_io
-
TheCollectorsWard (@CaCardBreaks) reported@GabeyCardStacks It’s not right. What kills me is how eBay can fix this and they don’t. Also it’s BS that eBay takes full 13% on shipping fees instead of just the 3% processing fee
-
Halo Dude (@halo_dude) reported@XRPee1983 I've seen this seller a lot on eBay and whilst they do have some great items, they sell collectables at obscene prices I dont understand why they wont try to price it fairly even if its initially ridiculous like 25K. At least you can negotiate down You can haggle from $5 mill!
-
@tres (@tresbagley) reported@ClownWorld These are the same scum that try to talk me down on an item at my garage sale that I marked for $3.00-- like, "No, *******, you can pay the $3 or keep it moving." Because all they want to do is list it on eBay for more.
-
Robby (@rsrob1990) reported@RohanKarMooN rule of rose went down massively, there was a warehouse in italy which had 100s of sealed copies. put them on ebay and they crashed overnight, its more 200ish sealed.

Your_Favorite_Mexican (@MikeandLily_UFC) reported@Matt_Rellihan @LastPackMojo I get it. I sold on eBay for years, and its a very nice touch. Of course you want buyers to come back, but people are looking on eBay for cards they want, they arent looking for your store. Returning buyers in the sports card world is rare, especially on eBay. Its more work than what its worth to put the notes in. It happens, sure, but the time you spend doing that isnt worth the number of buyers that will come back. Most buyers just want their card wrapped safely. Even then, they will give you good feedback but not remember your store the next day. Their isnt a way to "favorite" stores on eBay, only to "follow" it. So unless buyers write down and take note of your store name, they dont know which store is yours and will not come back just based on that fact alone. Ive had sellers that I loved and wanted to buy from them again but couldnt find their store the next day because I didnt write it down, and even then, eBay makes it very difficult to search for a store name (yes, I know, its dug way down in the search options). Selling here on Twitter is much more likely to have buyers come back because you can create a personal relationship with them. eBay is by nature not personal, and the note doesnt make a difference. 99 out of 100 buyers wont remember you the next time they are scrolling ebay for their favorite player. They look for teams and players, not your store. You gotta catch their attention other ways. What a personal note DOES do is take a potentially upset buyer and make it difficult for them to leave bad feedback. So maybe it has its place....but unfortunately very rarely will it ever help a buyer find you again.

Dan Campbell (@DaninCarteret) reportedThis ******* scumbag @IamNYSports has to be the dumbest mush for brains mutant in the history of the world, or he's just lying, trolling, and laughing his way to the bank with my $70. He keeps sending me messages on my primary ebay account that he never got any messages from me (since April 5th), but that's because he blocked my primary ebay account on April 5th, so of course he hasn't gotten my messages since then. Ebay customer service has emailed him telling him that, and I created a secondary ebay account so that I could message him from that, and I included screenshots of our message thread from my primary account to show him I sent him multiple messages since April 5th explaining to him that he never got them because he blocked me, and he still replies with what you see in the screenshots below on this post. Nothing, and I mean nothing, absolutely nothing would please me more than confronting this mutant with violence. I could win millions on the lottery, and all my teams could win back to back championships for the next decade, and I could have the hottest Colombian women sucking my **** on piles of money from my millions, and I would still be happier if I could repeatedly punch this braindead or lying trolls face in until my knuckles get ripped down to the bones. It's literally impossible for someone to be this ******* dumb. He has to be doing it on purpose.

Royals_Cards (@Royals_Cards) reported@den_jvs Having bought cards on ebay for over 25 years now. The amount of time it takes to get a resolution from most sellers isn't worth the effort. Upload 4-5 pictures, back and forth with a seller, repackaging and shipping, 2-5 days shipping delay, 2-3 days for a refund. Assuming they even take it back for a category that has no refunds. Assuming you don't have to have ebay step in and make a ruling adding 10-30 business days. I already went through the effort of sourcing the card. Looking through pictures, checking descriptions for notated issues, checking recent feedback. A refund at this point isn't worth the effort. Leaving correct feedback with pictures to let future buyers know what they can expect. That's the whole point of feedback. I don't buy from people with under 98% feedback as it is. Fake feedback inflation is a thing. I'm not taking a "partial refund" to change my review. There's no scenario a seller "makes it right" by me changing my review. There's no consequence otherwise of the seller continuing to sell damaged cards as NM and no way for anyone else to know what the seller is doing. Ebay listing is near dummy proof. You have to actively select what the condition is. If you're a lazy seller and are "too busy" to look at the condition of your card, it's not a mistake you marked it NM, it's negligence. Mark all your cards as excellent or very good then, problem solved. I kicked 25% of the cards I bought off ebay out of grading. I left negative feedback on 5% of those as they were egregiously damaged. The other 20% were near mint with accurate pictures, just not clean enough for my preferences on what I send in. I left them positive feedback. Sellers earn their reviews both positive and negative.

Monsoon Magic (@TheCactusCosmic) reported@Catscollecttcg I’ve been using EBay since 2006 and haven’t ever had issues with sellers but then again I auto-select my sellers to be US/NA only when buying any TCGs even foreign language ones.
-
Coach Taylor's Hair (@KeaauDave) reported@CynicalPublius For those of us that repaired our own vehicles, going down to the local salvage yards after this went into effect, was crippling. If it weren't for eBay, and nationwide salvage websites, it would've been been devastating.

v (@VondyP) reported@sirronhale @eBay bingo... i dont have this problem from the seller side. i have the issue from the buyer side. I stalk an auction for days and get what i think is a good deal.... seller cancels within 5 minutes of the auction ending. how convenient that the item is no longer available...
