Toxic Maximus🍊🪙 (@SatoshiNasaketo) reported@eBay this is embarrassing. Years of loyalty and now your service is completely out of shape. Fix it or I’m out.

bad robot (@foxenflask) reported@papi_kubosh He has been involved with PayPal indirectly since eBay acquired it in 2002, and directly as a PayPal board member from the 2015 spin‑off until he stepped down in 2017

Roman Pioneer (@renoipgp) reportedJapanese collector @moony_card just exposed an exact duplicate of his true 1/1 2018 PANINI PRIZM WORLD CUP Makoto Hasebe sitting in an @sgcgrading slab and currently up for auction on @eBay by Probstein123. This is the kind of situation that should make every collector nervous. All the 1/1 inserts that were supposed to be the special Scope Prizm version came out as regular Silver due to a factory mistake. Because of that error, the front of the card looks completely normal, no special Scope features. The only thing that makes it a 1/1 is the “1 of 1” stamp on the back.

Chris Doetsch (@LLSportsCards) reported@Blake5874 @eBay @CardPurchaser The ebay authentication process is completely broken. There is zero consistency. I have had a card returned by the authenticator, relisted it under the exact same condition and the second time the authenticator approved it. I seriously question their training.

Thomas O'Brien (@Centigrade232) reported@Legacy411 I would source things to sell on eBay. I would buy key issues of certain magazines and comics by the boatload. Same with records, toys, band t-shirts, posters, etc.

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.

DJWheeze (@DJWheezeDFS) reportedAs a new seller on eBay, watching my watchlist number go down after sending offers is so disheartening

Dave5oh (@Dave5oh1) reported@Dantheman7513 Get a humidor, put it in for 10 mins or so, clamp it or put it inside a book for a day or so. Repeat a few times, you'd be surprised how much itll help. Ive had to fix "nm" cards ive ordered on ebay a few times.

𝙅𝙒 (@ArvinJA21) reported@RepDaleStrong On March 12, 2026, Amazon instituted a policy to illegitimately take monies from 3rd Party Sellers, who constitute 60% of sales on Amazon according to Amazon, in order to improve its own cash flow. This policy is an example of the anti-competitive practices Amazon has used to enrich itself and undermine all competitors over many years. For about 20 years Amazon paid Sellers as follows: 1) a Customer selected a Seller’s item for purchase; 2) the Seller fulfilled the order, shipping the item to the Customer; 3) the Customer paid the item price plus any shipping charge applied by the Seller; 4) the Seller paid the actual shipping cost; 5) Amazon took its standard fees for every transaction; and 6) Amazon regularly paid the Seller the difference between its own fees and the Seller’s item price and shipping charge. The Seller and Amazon both benefitted greatly from this system. As of 3/12/2026, Amazon switched to what it called “DD+7”, which stands for Delivery Date plus 7 days. Amazon still takes it fees immediately when a Seller fulfills an order. Amazon pays the Seller nothing until 7 days after the item is delivered to the Customer, which depends upon the speed and accuracy of the USPS, UPS, or other delivery service. Sellers therefore, are paid approximately 14 days after spending to ship the item, rather than at the time of shipping. Amazon utilizes the full amount paid by the Customer as it wishes until Delivery Date plus 7 days, which amounts to millions of dollars every day that payment to the Seller is delayed. According to Amazon, “Moving your reserve setting to DD+7 provides time for you to accrue fees and other costs before disbursement and gives your customers time to receive, open, and evaluate their order.” This rationalization would be laughable if it weren’t so extremely and prejudicially false. Every purchase on Amazon can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. DD+7 does not add any additional time for the Customer to “…receive, open, and evaluate their order.” As a Seller, also, I have no idea what “…fees and other costs before disbursement…” I could accrue; gaslighting is the only thing stated in this sentence. There are millions of 3rd Party Sellers on Amazon, and almost all of them are small businesses. Amazon has spent decades making its Seller system appear to be the most efficient and effective, undercutting all other major 3rd Party Seller systems, such as ebay. The system before DD+7 was extremely profitable to Amazon. Now Amazon is requiring a pay-off which harms its own 3rd Party Sellers, to the benefit only of Amazon’s enormous bottom line. Please contact Amazon about this penurious attack upon its Sellers. We depend upon Congress to defend the small businesses that are sources of enormous value throughout our country. Please also address the issues raised here in the appropriate Congressional committees. Public hearings will not show Amazon in a good light. Thank you,

BOBBY CASH SPORTS CARDS (@BobbyCash215) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay A simple piece of tape would fix it. I tape every card I sell

Yorkshire Jamie (@YorkshireJam) reportedI wish people like @eBay @eBay_UK would stop changing ****. Trying to list an item with MY chosen method of postage isn’t allowed now? Wtf is going on with the world. Stop fixing things that aren’t ******* broken.

Chris Matthias (parody) (@thetrickster88) reported@VandelayBreaks @eBay @CardPurchaser It's not even a penny sleeve problem, they just need a little piece of tape over the card saver slot.

NOLLY (@omoelerinjare1) reportedA boy with unusually large feet (size 23) struggled to find shoes that fit. His only pair, a size 22 he found on eBay, was too tight, and his widowed mother—who battles recurring health issues—couldn’t afford the expensive custom shoes he needed. She created a GoFundMe campaign to help her son, and the story quickly went viral. Soon after, Entertainment Tonight reached out: an anonymous donor wanted to speak with her. It was Shaquille O’Neal. He FaceTimed the boy, then generously sent several boxes of his own personal clothing and shoes from his closet. The boy was overjoyed to finally have shoes that were much closer to his actual size plus the money he got from donations.

John Anderson (@JohnnyboySP) reported@enigma0451 It still had plenty of problems don't get me wrong. But once the internet made access to things like Ebay, other retailers, and import retailers available it wasn't even a competition.

Roman Pioneer (@renoipgp) reported@BourbonInvestm2 @natsturner @eBay I appreciate your perspective as an honest seller, but the system is absolutely broken for preventing systematic fraud. I just tested the checkout process myself with a P.O. Box. The 'Authenticity Guarantee' badge still shows up. eBay gives zero warning that the item will bypass authentication. That is incredibly deceptive to buyers who think they are protected. Second, there are no consequences. This seller has had items fail authentication before, has received multiple reports for fraud, yet he is still not banned and continues to list hundreds of counterfeits. eBay just quietly refunds the buyer, returns the fake to the scammer, and lets him try again. They are protecting their profit margins instead of the community. PSA and eBay need to share data to permanently ban accounts systematically submitting fakes. And of course, we can't completely rule out the possibility that this was simply a massive error and the fake card actually passed the PSA inspection.

CreekSideAaron (@Dizzle541) reported@RandyTreibel @CardPurchaser You can’t directly message people on eBay unless they’re a buyer or seller. There’s no way to just casually have conversation with them. You’re just trying to stir up trouble and make something out of nothing.

maxx (@maxxbayo) reported@SparkMinus Gamestop's return credit is terrible. I reccomend selling online (ebay, mercari, etc) or local (facebook marketplace, offerup, any local game store that ISNT gamestop)
-
EMAC (@emac_rex) reported@FlockMastaMon @CardPurchaser Happens on eBay sometimes too. I’ve gotten a negative review because a dude found a better deal on a card the next day and wanted a full refund, but I had already sent it to the post office and have a no returns policy. They like to take out operator error on the seller.

Tommie (@Kamille_Bidoff) reported@OaklandKao I got mine as a preorder through hobbyfrontline when they were doing the colab, After the shipping to the store in IE then to me down in PT it wasn't much less than what they're going for on ebay rn so there's no time like the present to make irresponsible financial choices 😸

Jerry Casero (@phatjer300) reported@Blake5874 @CardPurchaser @eBay If you put minor issues in the description like any seller should. Then it would have passed.

Green House Effect (@Slyy683752) reported@Top100Rick That woman is part of the problem. $600 in merch just to sell it all on eBay, and there’s nothing left in the shop by Friday.
