    @_ElectricBoogie No never seen those before but if they are on ebay supplies page for sale I guarantee you want too much for them! We're selling sub $1 cards here ebay come on I can't pay $.25 per envelope! If I can't get my envelope costs down to below one cent then I'm doing it wrong!

    As someone who does most of my business on @eBay these days, the toughest part of the eBay IT problems the last week or so has been the fact that listings and quantities have a major lag in updating. It takes like 5 refreshes for listing quantities to be correct. @eBay, any fix?

    @CoderciseYT @loomdoop Half-Priced Books... The main problem is there is a customer that will come into all the stores and scan the shelves with a ring based scanner and phone app that checks the ISBN vs what the prices are on Amazon and Ebay, thus scooping up the treasures. 🤨

    @KT_Commenter @poke_emilys @NewAgeCardKings EVERYONE uses eBay/tcgplayer comps I don’t see someone at a card show going “market is $50 but TCGplayer takes 10% so I’ll give you $45” Every day I login onto this app I swear we get dumber as a people.

    @FrontTowardJerk @MadisonCalvert @eBay I can take a L on an auction, due to competition, start price, etc. I’m not taking an L due to the auction site being down for a bunch of users and an auction ending before it was scheduled to.

    @mfBRAT_eth Yes, it's the ApeCoin Ledger Nano X, which was an official Ledger product. The device itself isn't the issue here. It's the pre-filled seed phrase card. I picked this edition because limited edition hardware wallets are exactly the kind of thing people might hunt for on eBay.

    @PeakHobby I don’t see the problem, if you want to buy a 200 dollar ascended heroes etb just hit up FB market place or eBay they have TONS.

    Yeah - mine closed about 10% down from where I expected - wasn’t worth the fight and it’s all within the margin of error in this world. Some I see tonight are actually a lot lower. @MadisonCalvert issue was before the eBay outages. That guy just ended his auction at a stupid hour (probably scheduled the listing in am instead of pm)

  • BuyHoldCollect

    There are a few reasons why I think listing Amazon returns on eBay is worth the time and effort. 1. Diversification - If Amazon shuts me down for whatever reason I have the ability to pivot to a new marketplace. 2. Reduce leakage - Small money leaks can crush small businesses. Processing returns allows me to recoup costs from damaged goods from Amazon and sell them as-is on eBay. Can also resell returns that are actually fulfillable back on FBA. 3. Cash flow - eBay payouts are a lot faster What else would you add?

    @USPSHelp I have an eBay package I sent to Hawaii on April 10th and it’s still not delivered and customer is requesting refund. It’s been at Honolulu office for 5 days. I’ve tried submitting lost mail search but the usps website errors out. Help?

    Shameless plug that I sell packs and boxes myself. I also have a video where I detail how to spot fake Chinese cards as it’s clearly a rampant problem. There are many reputable sellers who can get you genuine Chinese cards. Just avoid eBay and Facebook like the plague and check online stores references.

    Shock City Cards (@shockcitycards) reported

    @skunkapecards @CardPurchaser Know the eBay policy… they have time to pay. Not a good way to treat customers. Definitely risking bad feedback and other issues as customers can say they never got the package and freeze your funds until resolved.

    @astro_jaz i have been *desperately* looking for a copy of this issue and i'm afraid to turn to ebay.

    @MemoryReboot_ Dude those NVLinks are $2000 on eBay. You can just get yourself a server board and CPU that supports multiple full x16 speed PCIe 4.0 x16 slots for half that.

    If he’s dead Cierra I would chop off your head. I don’t know how to do that. Can you order one on eBay. Maybe just lie down on the street and let a car run you over afterwards too. Polite. A bullet.

    @johnennis @amazon If the item page doesn’t show ‘ships and sold from Amazon’, you’re basically looking at an eBay like listing from a reseller, or Facebook Marketplace. Had this been an actual Amazon or partner stocked item, you’d have no trouble returning it. Always filter for ‘Prime Only’ items.

    Just tried 7 times to make an offer on an ebay listing and the system keeps returning error messages. Thinking this is a continuation of the last two days of eBay’s site failures sellers are complaining about. How is this acceptable?? @ValueAddedRS

    @Jylesss @eBay Of course eBay should take it down

    @p1eak1ey Ugh. I'll have to buy the older DVD set on Ebay someday then. WB did something similar with an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force for equally silly reasons (actually, probably even more silly, since it wasn't even over an alleged legal issue).

    @ValueAddedRS @mazenra eBay goes down for x minutes, platform y traffic and sales goes up by z. Cost to disrupt is less than the increase in sales….you have motive. But no one would be bold enough to actually hire someone to do this…unless you have thousands of seller accounts.

    @jearl02s No def not doing again. Move to slow. Yes, EBay was a bust with these

    @SatchelPrice Completely agree, taking packages to the post office the NEXT DAY only for 5 more orders to sell and be fulfilled. It's just not efficient and no I don't have enough space for 10 bubble mailers in my mailbox. 1-2 days ship if this were a problem eBay wouldn't give you a timeline

  • LibertyCourier

    @eBay @UPS @eBay allows an entirely preventable scam. Solutions: 1. If seller provides tracking AFTER the delivery date, no 'out for delivery' email notice is sent. FLAG THIS. 2. UPS tracking has recipient phone #. eBay has customer # on file. No match = INTERVENE. Fix your broken system.

    That's a quad-socket server board (4 Xeon CPUs visible) stuffed with ~1TB RAM across dozens of DIMMs. Classic meme pic — most likely a Dell PowerEdge R920/R930 or similar Supermicro-based enterprise chassis. Used ones pop up on eBay cheap, but they're power-hungry beasts. Great for VMs/databases if you have the electric bill for it.

    Should this issue be settled by him and eBay or should I refund and then open a case?

    4. eBay has told me so many different things as I’ve sat on the phone with them for hours each day only for the last agent to say this is PSA who has to issue the return since I paid for grading their system does not allow eBay to start a return due to failed EBay Authentication
