Sam Ronin (@SamRonin64) reported@_bismack_ Here comes the fake Archeops fans 🙄 i swear if ppl start paying $100 for this card or even just buying it off ebay for $20 bucks they are not pokemon fans and stright up outing them selves as a problem with the hobby
-
tofu (@yapinof) reported@thasminlover considering the costs would need to be under £10pp for them to not lose money I would have been surprised if they spent extra money on the shipping rather than creating the card itself + with the customs issues they were probably just as gagged to see it on eBay as we were 😭.

AJ (@CardGameNomad) reported@YiedTcg @NightshadeColl The problem with the "buy X, get Y free" is that eBay doesn't always promote those deals.... The algorithm is busted for that coupon for some reason lol. I do the "buy X amount, get Y% off" since it actually shows on every one of my qualified listings lol
-
HankBobbyDale (@HankBobbyDale) reported@CardPurchaser I have a Ebay buyer who messaged me over 3 months after I made a sale, saying he did not receive his card. Since its past 30 days, I can't even issue the refund or even check the tracking anymore. Is there anything you think I should do?

Card (@Cardhedge) reported@ryancohen ebay has become pay-to-play. every listing effectively requires a promoted listings boost just to get visibility, yet there's no transparency proving that ad spend actually drives incremental traffic. on top of industry-high final value fees, smaller sellers without store subscriptions pay even more in insertion and per-transaction costs. consignment houses give you visibility, but most lock you into auction format with no buy it now option. the marketplace is broken by its creators' greed: fees are so high that your spread has to be enormous to clear a profit. you can't buy and sell the same item at the same price without losing a meaningful chunk to fees, shipping, and promo spend. if ebay lowered their fees and increased transparency, it would send the resale economy into a renaissance. categories like sports cards would become dramatically more liquid overnight, it's already an emerging market with a massive following, there's no reason anything needs 13% commission plus extra ad spend on top.

AllStarBids (@AllStarBids) reported@CallMadRabbit Hi, sorry to hear and you're not the only one. We've seen 2 others with similar experiences. Unsure if this is isolated or not. Granted, this issue and whatnot/ebay issues are things our site is trying to stop! Please check us out, list, bid and control your own payment!

Covid Denier (@covid_denier) reported@FargusDengus @_vindicator_ Holy ****, he closed down unprofitable stores, so amazing. Nevermind all the failed ventures, buying hundreds of millions of dollars worth of BTC and eBay at the top.

Ghosty 👻🕷🕸 (@ghostyectoplasm) reported@thequannnic I found that first one on eBay for 40$ in a lot of broken or fodder figures, but the spidey was near perfect condition. My first one I had as a kid was eaten by my dog ::(
-
Christopher Grouse (@ChrisGrouse) reported@eprofit_app I sell coins on ebay and for part 3 days getting this error I’m getting Error 21920350: Condition information 1000 is not valid for category 786 when trying to publish listings to eBay. Can you tell me which condition/category combination is causing the issue?”
-
CaptainHogan (@HoganCaptain) reported@Japhero_ 80% is honestly great. If they sell on ebay, they are spending on ebay cut, shipping, and the off chance there's an issue with the transaction
-
Mac Dreidel (@MacDreidel) reported@mccartycards @eBay @UPS Ur case is pending and has nothing to do with eBay. Ur delivery service is the problem here.
-
bad robot (@foxenflask) reported@pineda30308 Cheers! I think the unrealized gain on the eBay derivative position is off by a $100M in my calculations. But too late to fix it.

Foolish Intanius 2 Comms open (@nius_v) reportedThe company said they lost the package and to go screw myself. May eBay strike them down...
-
matt prohm (@TheProhmKing) reported. @eBay: yeah, we incorrectly charged you sales tax on an exempt item. Me: so.. can you refund me please? eBay: sorry, gotta talk to your state tax dept. Me: you made the error. You need to correct it. eBay: sorry, them's the breaks.

Ġefēra (@Gefera_) reported@yorksoriginal Oh, just go to an antique shop then Or ebay for one that is broken/for parts
-
Sweet Lou (@SweetLou502) reported@DomABCDEFG I will absolutely pay it if I look at it and deem it relatively clean. No issue for me at all. What I will not do...ever again...is pay over 200 for something with ebay authenticity. Not worth the hassle at all.

Morales (@CarlosMoralesG_) reportedTired of overpaying or getting screwed on vintage watches? Caza Mayor shows you exactly how to buy smart on Chrono24, eBay, Vinted and Wallapop. Search filters that actually work, how to read between the lines in listings, brutal negotiation tactics, how to close fast, detect hidden problems, avoid fakes… and skip all the painful (and expensive) mistakes I made when I started. You got the link in my profile. Go now and take advantage of the special launch price.

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reportedOpen your bank statement right now. Count every subscription. Netflix. Spotify. ChatGPT Plus. Claude. Adobe. Apple One. Disney+. iCloud. YouTube Premium. Audible. NYT. Dropbox. Notion. Gym. Dating app. A 2026 study found the average American spends $219 a month on subscriptions. That is $2,628 a year. But they estimate they spend $86 a month. 74% of people admit they have forgotten about a recurring charge. 42% are currently paying for a subscription they have stopped using. A Portuguese developer named Miguel Ribeiro got tired of bleeding money to forgotten subscriptions. He lives in Berlin and works as a senior frontend engineer at eBay Kleinanzeigen by day. At night he tried Billbot and a bunch of paid web apps. None of them worked. Some of them charged him a monthly fee to track his monthly fees. So in October 2023 he wrote his own. The repo today: → 7,922 stars → 365 forks → GPL-3.0 licensed → Pushed last week → 69 followers on the founder's profile It is called Wallos. You self-host it. It tracks every subscription, every renewal date, every category, every currency, and shows you the actual number on one screen. Here is the wildest part: The subscription companies designed the system this way on purpose. 72% of people set everything to auto-pay because the checkout flow defaults to it. Cancellation pages are buried 5 clicks deep. Some require a phone call during business hours. A 2022 FTC report called this "dark patterns" and Adobe is paying $150 million in a settlement for hiding cancellation fees this exact way. Miguel did not raise venture capital. He did not write a Medium post. He did not go on a podcast. He shipped one PHP app from his apartment in Berlin and now thousands of people use it to claw back hundreds of dollars a year. The honest part: It needs a tiny server (a $5 Raspberry Pi works). You have to enter subscriptions yourself, it does not auto-detect from your bank. The UI is functional, not gorgeous. The author still works a day job and ships updates in his spare time. Berlin. One developer. The companies that auto-charge you forever finally have an enemy.

C (@Sportymoodboard) reportedI really can’t believe these people are charging 30+ just for a vogue France cover and an interview magazine issue on eBay.

Fig Bonner (@FigBonner) reported@latetospace @eBay @ryancohen Lmao. Was mostly trolling. I truly don’t believe he would fix eBay. Things won’t change until eBay gets a legitimate competitor

popcornisready (@popcornishere) reported@ConleyLoni @CardPurchaser @eBay If the problem persists through the morning into the day I would watch out for Bots/Scammers trying to get you to DM them for “help.”

Bozo (@bozomaxxer) reported@ItsaMeCooper Another bozo spotted. The real issue isn’t pkc drops it’s GameStop, Walmart and Target. Target/Walmart supply way more to botters than pkc while gamestop charges more than ebay on some products.

Classic G.I. Joe 🇺🇸 (@ClassicGIJoe) reportedA key issue of the 80s - until eBay came along and it wasn't quite as scarce as it was claimed to be!

PRⓞTⓄTYPE LIVE (@PrototypeLive) reportedHey @grok, didnt ebay have this weird thing where they were threatening a critic and sending weird things to their home? cults like these where they try to frame people exist no? I really did have my passport photo taken by a known scammer while my back was turned at a medical dispensary. He did it on surveillance. Oddly enough - this guy is a millionaire, he just scams because he claims it's in his fortune 500 bloodline - he always says, "My dad didn't get rich being ethical." When I called him out last year, he doubled down on his harassment and even organized group chats to go against me and made a false claim that I stole $300,000 from him – which is clearly not true, because I am incredibly poor. Like can't even afford to take my dog to the vet poor. Is what I am describing real tactics used by criminals to get people locked up or framed ? Why would they try to open multiple accoutns in my name? Why send letters to me? Can you give me a detailed answer and some advice on what to do when the police move too slowly/not at all?
