  @damselsimi @dmmsell This viral video promotes a powdered drain cleaner like "Gold Drain" or "Wild Tornado" (sold on Amazon/eBay). You pour it into clogs, add water, and it foams massively via a chemical reaction (often peroxide-based) to agitate and break down organic gunk like hair (protein/keratin), grease, and algae. Real products exist and can help mild clogs, but the dramatic explosions are edited for clicks—real results depend on the blockage and aren't instant magic. The Japanese poster’s doubt makes sense; it's hyped but not fake.

  @CardPurchaser and community I have a small problem. I bought a card on eBay that was shipped via eBay standard (with the ESU number) tracking says it was delivered but o never received the card. eBay denied my claim because it was “delivered “. I can’t file claim on USPS.

  I'm fully willing to correct any issues and comply with all eBay policies going forward. I take my seller responsibilities seriously and would value the chance to resolve this. Please DM me so I can share my account details securely. Thank you for your time.

  Listen ide rather wait 6 months for the prices to die down on eBay before I ever stand in line at 8am for a bobblehead.

  @rohit4verse Consumer demand is down all over the place. My mom has a eBay storefront and has sold antiques/vintage jewelry for over 20 years now on their platform and she told me yesterday that sales are non-existent. People have stopped dropping off dry cleaning (expected with all the layoffs), and restaurants are struggling to keep open.

  @nremarkableguy @Notjulio you;re right. I thought I was king **** but just a degen. I had a deal with the Clemson Hallmark shop to give me 1st grab on all new beanies. Would buy those bears for $12 and sell them on eBay for $200. And when I was always down to my last $$$, the station on College Ave had a machine that always paid after hours.

  @premiercards_2 @eBay @Topps Good to know such a large card account is a complete ******. I simply said you should be upset at Topps in the first place. If I have anything going to an authenticity check, I always put it in a one-touch and I’ve never had an issue. Have even requested it from numerous sellers and never had an issue but by all means keep crying about it and being a d-bag. 👍🏾

  @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?

  @premiercards_2 @eBay Have them call you thru eBay automated assistant chat. Say “call me” in the chat. Take pictures, show them the damages and they will give you $$ back. This is absolutely a known issue and they are doing nothing to fix it.

  @eBay Part 2: This lack of transparency is unacceptable. I’m willing to comply with any policy, but I can’t fix something when no one will tell me what went wrong. The process has been frustrating, inconsistent, and honestly unfair. I’m asking for a clear explanation.

  Is there some glitch going on with @eBay returns? I have a customer wanting to return something, but there is nowhere for me to upload a return label under the return where I normally upload the PDF of the label. #question #eBay #issue

  @ClownWorld Oh hell no- that is not my front door- and I refuse to see my package treated like that! You better fix that Jeff, or eBay is getting a bump in business again.

  @ehelpmann I had about 40 buys on ebay until 2022 and now 13 sells in the last months. Not one problem, I am able to check the Silver. I surely only buy from accounts which have good reviews and a history. Thanks for the tip but I am not interested in buying physical in the moment. I sold 25% of my Silver and got all the money back I have ever invested and still have 75% (1258oz) of the metal. I will not sell anymore. Additional Silver I would buy via ETFs.

  @GFilwett @eBay No, this is a slab bag. The problem is it’s a single card in a penny sleeve inside a card saver and then because that’s in the box that gets banged around like crazy it slides out of the card saver. I can re-create it in three seconds.

  @KLeinzz0xL Just a hobby. I buy cheap broken consoles on Ebay and fix them. If I don't have one I add it to my collection, otherwise I trade them into the game store or gift them to friends. This particular ps1 is going to a friend who's ps1 broke recently

  @eBay Contacted your customer service 5 times about a buyer scamming me. You've avoided helping me every single time. As a seller, I'm done. Never using eBay again. Your support is terrible and leaves honest sellers unprotected. #eBay #CustomerServiceFail #eBayScam

  @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.

  @SamuelMunroe @ClassicComics3 I’ve only seen them in the wild a couple of times. Mostly I hit antique shops for this stuff. Maybe I’ll do EBay when I get down to where I only need a couple to complete. If I see them the Hitchcock Investigators I’ll definitely grab them.

  @trunkofcards @CardPurchaser The seller shouldn’t care about someone else’s eBay fees. Not the sellers problem.

  @eBay I have funds on hold due to an MC011 restriction, but the link to submit required info is broken across all devices. Support has not resolved this after multiple calls. I need a working submission method ASAP.

  @renoipgp @natsturner It’s not about the loophole existing because it is 100% fact how the system is set up. I’m sure Nat worded it wrong or spoke without understanding the eBay system itself. Again, eBay isn’t his company who controls what goes to authentication. If someone wins a bid. They’d have to ask seller to cancel order so they can repurchase. Only then they can change the address before they repurchase. Not sure what buyer in their right mind would do that? They’d also have to have their P.O. Box and everything set up before delivery occurs. As a seller you lose ebay protection. If the seller asks buyer for address to manually change it seller gets flagged hard as they are strict with it. Seller then loses every right and protection, if buyer asks for a refund eBay would process that automatically and seller is out. Seller could also put it under wrong category which wouldn’t trigger any AG but again they have zero protection and any refund question it would process and buyer be out. So no the system isn’t fundamentally broken. Just like @natsturner could’ve misspoke on it, you are picking and trying to find anyway to dig to justify the slamming PSA eBay and the AG program because you don’t fully understand it yourself. I’m not knocking you in any way at all for the article. Personally, I fully dislike defending PSA on anything ever. I just want to make sure anything like this is accurately talked about. Since 90% of hobby beefs and drama that blow up viral are based on assumptions and misunderstandings due to non factual information

  @money_522 I have a garage that I stay in for 2-3 hours almost daily. It’s the only thing I can have any say over without debate. I buy old PC parts, attempt to fix them then sell back on eBay for a few extra dollars. Keeps me sane.

  @NinWire Scary situation with the example of the game keycard for Borderlands 4 on eBay that went up for sale. Someone bought and found it only returned an error code as nothing is on the cartridge. Obviously that game was cancelled but the cartridge was legit. Fate of all key cards.

  @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.
