  @LM39720 @LBFlyawayhome Yes, I did and oh how I wished I'd kept it. Been tempted to buy some off eBay but the prices are ridiculous. Such happy memories, although trying to fix the shelf in the green house was a nightmare.

  @TonyClimate @eBay That’s terrible. I used the chat and it transferred me to a live person.

  @TonyClimate @eBay Call your bank or credit card company and issue a charge back, it’s literally that simple. I promise you.

  @aakashgupta @barnes_law but it's worse than the Hogan case (who was both in trouble AND eligible for some forgiveness because of layers of deception around the cookie stuffing... his actions and the documented condoning of them by eBay supervisors). This Gates spawn may have used the deceit to mislead investors(!) which is much worse

  @AlexLongneck @eBay I've bought quite a bit and never once complained. I thought I'd have no issue getting a refund for an honest complaint. Frustrating.

  @TonyClimate @eBay Persist. I bought coins from a seller that immediately shut down after shipping fakes. Ebay refunded my money.

  @eBay since 3 days I can not use my account because of a bug on your side. Could you contact me or fix that please. We are several people with the same case. We can not bid any more with our account. What are your plans on that ???

  @TonyClimate @eBay That’s becoming more of a problem for people that don’t do their research properly. If you get into bad habits they spill over into all walks of life.

  I was so down bad late last year that I had to sell some of my accessories on EBay.

  @TheMagnifishit @DOMOCAPITAL Ha, yes we will! So I think it comes down to: $2B buybacks = 1.25x accretion per share eBay deal = ? Again they could do both, but after exercising their eBay position, they have roughly ~$4.5B left in cash and equivalents plus whatever they generated in Q2. So it’s not a lot given the grand scale of the eBay bid. But external debt and equity raises could change that consideration as well. Let’s see what happens.

  @TonyClimate @eBay Recently I sold a tablet on @ebay and was assessed extra charges erroneously. With great time and effort I was able to speak with a person. The person did not initially understand the problem. As I tried to calmly explain the problem, without cursing or even raising my voice, the person claimed my tone was inappropriate and immediately disconnected. Apparently, Ebay service standards allow and tolerate this. Ebay does not give a damn about their customers and I will never buy or sell with them again.

  @StockSandbox @eBay I'm shocked that they're even giving me trouble. They took responsibility and offered me a 25% refund and I said that's unacceptable then they said okay sorry there's nothing we can do.

  @TonyClimate @eBay That seller should be investigated and all his accounts shut down.

  titterboy (@titterboy2) reported 23 minutes ago

  @eBay What makes you think your webform will work now? He had no reply. Just apply again. I'm not going to waste my time on your broken webform. So I'm no longer a seller on @ebay. They don't hold a monopoly for online auctions anymore. There are other auction sites. 2/2

  @naiveanalyst7 And now they are taking eBay down as well. Tell me how there is not something bigger at play here. AMC as well has turned around and box office is on fire, yet share price has plummeted 15% after record earnings and huge box office week after Spider-Man release! Meme stonks

  Looks like the market is trying to avg Ryan down on his EBAY bet, no way he ain't buying a bigger piece right now, probably doubling those options right now.

  @stonksandcards The ole “label created” and then nothing…poof, gone. lol. I do think they are getting better though. Either eBay, USPS, both know this is a problem.

  @RickShielsPGA This is a problem when they’re passed off as genuine online. I got stung for fake P770s off EBay and have been fighting @PayPal for 4 months to get refunded. They’re very convincing fakes, just a few mil out here and there. #🐹

  @YBMMthoughts @eBay Glad to hear you had a good resolution. I don't even want the damaged card I just want my money back now. Really surprised this wasn't an easy fix.

  @TonyClimate @eBay The customer/seller support from eBay is terrible considering the fees they charge sellers. Almost makes dealing with the Facebook marketplace lowballers tolerable.

  @Prusa3D Nothing. Your support is terrible. I regret ever buying one, and if I can't get this current loadcell issue fixed, I'm buying a @BambulabGlobal and selling this thing for parts on ebay.

  @riprap1 @Leejay1963 Good to know, I see so much old gear on Vinted and eBay but I think to myself if you think the age of these radios many of them unless they've been recently serviced are fast coming towards the end of their lives with components starting to break down and PA stages gradually creaking so I am wondering really if they're a great investment unless of course you're after some sort of a restoration project.

  The position we are in was so predictable. What @ryancohen could have done with $10b is buy stocks that are depressed, companies he could have easily improved, and the smaller companies would have loved his help. No dilution. Those stocks would instantly moon the second $GME got involved. @michaeljburry recommended this exact playbook. He could have deployed all $10b this way and genuinely helped a bunch of $1-2b companies double their EBITDA or more - or even just made very strong, passive investments. Then could have easily just kept these notes. Instead he Leroy Jenkins’d his *** and all of us right into the line of fire. Why did he do that? It’s such a head scratcher and there are very few options. Option 1: he has an ego flaw. $EBAY turned his help down in 2023 and this has always been about @eBay. And he couldn’t focus on MAXIMIZING shareholder value, because his focus was on buying eBay. Option 2: something more nefarious / bailing out hedge funds. Option 3: he has been lining up an eBay partnership via activist campaign. Option 4: he’s setting up a corporate squeeze. None of these questions answer why he would do a VWAP deal, at this specific moment in time, except option 2 or 4. That’s why I believe he is either setting up a squeeze or he’s a hedgie crony. That’s also why if the warrants do not print, I will be bailing. The warrants are the line in the sand.

  In the fall of 2007, a professor at Yale walked into a lecture hall twice a week, picked up chalk, and drew four columns on the board: first-price sealed bid, second-price sealed bid, English auction, Dutch auction. The course is ECON 159. The professor is Ben Polak. The recording has been sitting free on Yale Open Courses for almost two decades, and almost nobody who trades on auctions every single day has ever watched it. That's a mistake. Those four columns aren't classroom abstraction. They're literally the architecture of how your money gets taken. eBay is an ascending auction with proxy bidding, a variant of the English format. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction: you don't pay your own bid, you pay the bid of the person you just beat. Government bond sales run as Dutch descending auctions. Three platforms, three mechanisms, three different ways to extract the most out of you — and almost none of the people bidding ever ask which format they're actually standing inside. Later on the board comes Nash equilibrium: the point where nobody can do better by changing their move alone. Sounds academic until you realize every market price, every negotiated salary, every closed-tender bid is exactly that. And one rule Polak repeats every single semester like an axiom: never play a strictly dominated strategy. If an option is worse than another no matter what happens, it isn't a real choice — cross it out. Traders break this rule constantly when they average down into a losing position, because locking in the loss hurts more than doubling down does. 24 lectures. Free. Problem sets and exams included. The whole thing fits in about thirty pages of equations. There's nothing left to pay for — Yale already gave it away. The only real cost is sitting through 24 hours of game theory before you open a terminal or place a bid, not after.

  It really is the worst time to be a vinyl collector. Thrift stores are picked dry. People sell terrible condition scratched vinyl on eBay for go **** yourself prices. Reissued vinyl releases are expensive and often very badly pressed.

  Thank you, everyone, for all of your love and support. Yesterday was a rough one, for many reasons. But one of them concerns my shop, designsbyg. shop. Starting a new business is difficult; the drawing and designing is fun. It helps with my depression and keeps me focused. But the money side is a nightmare! I ran reports and found that I was "eating" a percentage of the shipping cost on every sale. Sometimes as much as $12.00. It wasn't too awful, but FIXING the issue was a nightmare. Three 10-hour days in a row with AI support on 2 platforms trying to adjust the shipping for 173 products coming from DOZENS of drop-ship printers throughout the US. On the first day, I was given incorrect instructions and deleted profiles for 2 dozen items. After putting those back in, which took all day, I started on the shipping. There are no phone numbers for Shopify or Printify support. Chat boxes only, mostly AI. After following instructions from Shopify and going 1 by 1 for every shipping profile, 30 for each item times 173 products, I was told by Printify that was completely unnecessary!!! It gave me an alternative to bulk edit 12 at a time. I wasted 3 days on something that should have taken 2 hours! I am so SICK of the lack of customer service in this country!!! Hopefully it is fixed. For those who shop in my store, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I want to add that I apologize for the cost of shipping. I have no control over that. My eBay sales are suffering due to shipping costs. It is just out of my hands.

  @TonyClimate @eBay Had same problem. My item didn’t show up. I used PayPal for the purchase and they did all the heavy lifting once I knew it was a scam. They contacted the seller and got no response. Couple weeks later I had my funds back in my account.
