    @DGcards40 @AllCardsAreCool Not gonna lie it’s a good deal, but I have had terrible experiences buying from X, if you had it up on eBay I’d consider buying it but you’d lose 13% on the sale.

    eBay proving yet again why they are the worst company to sell on! Buyer opens a claim that they didn’t get their package, tracking shows delivered. eBay agrees and says they got it. Customer opens chargeback for empty item eBay says customer is right! What @eBay is terrible!

    @spideygalsolo I got mine on ebay! they're the brave new world & you and thunderbolts & you jpn exclusive plush so unfortunately they're very overpriced for what they are. I only ended up getting them bc they stopped trying to sell bucky for 100usd LOL so they'll probably continue to go down

    @eBay your app has been down for over a week, you website has been glitching for over 5 weeks, yet you seem not to care????? Shocking service

    Has anyone had issue with an @eBay account getting suspended out of the blue for no discernible reason? I have never sold anything and my last transactions have been non-events. I have no recourse, no way to petition or escalate. This is super upsetting!

    @eBay_UK must have the worse ever customer services. Have just wasted over an hour trying to withdraw funds from my account. I’m sure I would have no problems in using funds to buy on eBay. Doubt if I’ll use eBay to sell future items.

    @just_cameroon @GardensHour I always had that problem (rarely could visit GCs - went mad when I did). Now I buy from nurseries on line (Ebay) and consider each purchase & usually plant on arrival then buy something else. Also search for what I want rather than impulse buy.

    @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.

    @LikeToBeBossy I buy physical too off eBay with voucher codes.. but i seldom get PS essential, wait till it runs down and then buy Extra or Premium at a discount.

    @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

    @quinnysoda It’s OK it happens. I’m pretty sure if I do decide to get it down the line I can find it on eBay.

    @cardofdreams I bought this from eBay years ago. 36 card display case that says UV protected. Have six full. Used to have on the wall but took down for safety reasons. They sit on the floor against a wall and nice to be able to access whenever.

    sounds 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.

    @RNFdowney @eBay and, no, a bid is not a binding contract when made in error. a binding contract requires intent. when you intend to bid 11.56 and not 1156, there is no contract when your bid is automatically raised to 25.77--regardless of any ebay policy. there was never any intent to bid that.

    @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?

    @Royals_Cards I think eBay needs to change NM from “comparable to pack fresh” to something else. Terrible term to use, when many cards come out of the pack with a dent, ding, or scratch

    @jonbrooks Need an ebay site and an AI lawyer to check the paperwork and handle transfers. so.. yes. But not until the realtor cartel can be broken. We need a tesla-like situation where the product just puts realtor (car dealers) to shame.

    @Cross_Malaki Many gaming consoles play DVDs, too. A CD/DVD player attachment you can connect to a computer is dirt cheap at Walmart. Combo TV & DVD players are still manufactured, or you can get retro ones on eBay. And yes, there are still people who know how to fix them if things break.

    @TheDumbTechGuy Fact check on the quoted post: Node.js launched in 2009. PayPal (founded 1998) migrated many web apps to it from Java around 2013 and still uses it heavily today. Netflix uses it for API gateways/BFF layers (core backend is mostly Java). LinkedIn used it for mobile servers. Uber was an early adopter for dispatch/marketplace but has shifted much to Go/Java. Walmart rebuilt its site with it. eBay built Node apps. Trello’s server is Node-based. Medium’s main app servers run on it. The list is directionally right—Node.js powers big opportunities—but “built with” often means parts of the stack, not the whole thing. It’s a solid, scalable choice.

    @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.
