isaac 🦇 (@eva4ng3l1cal) reported@BackupBackdown LOL yea i get that when my lighter sort of broke i went around like 6 different shops rather than just buy a new one off ebay for £30 but i eventually figured out how to fix it. id like to collect more lighters but i feel like some of them are really gimmicky and not everyday

Ed Mox (@Muddybon) reported@Cody_Is_Boring @musicbykwiz @JoshInEncinitas The bits get expensive..I've used some cheap Ebay ones just to test them. They weren't terrible, but cost very little. I keep a few for backup.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 194 Total sales: $599.00 eBay earnings: $102.82 Buy cost (COG): $15.54 Net profit: $87.28 ROI: 562% Today was definitely an unusual one. On paper, it looks like a slow day, but the story is a little different. 3 higher dollar orders were canceled before they shipped, which meant they hit today's numbers even though I still have the inventory ready to sell again. That's one thing I've learned about reselling, not every low profit day is a bad day. Sometimes it's returns. Sometimes it's cancellations. Sometimes it's just timing. The important part is that those items are still sitting on my shelf, ready to be sold to the next buyer. You can't control cancellations, but you can control how quickly you relist, how consistently you source, & whether you keep moving forward. Tomorrow is another opportunity, & those canceled items are already back in inventory waiting for their next sale. That's just part of the business. On to Day 195. 📦💪

Paul Lenkeit (@plenkeit2) reported@KellyCards The comments are insanely split down the middle here. I one thousand percent figured this card was worth wayyyy more than 60 bucks after reading this post lol I get that what the guy did was a little unusual, and certainly not good practice - but genuiely, why wouldnt you at least wait to see how the card showed up before going to ebay support???

sugarshaz👻 (@sugarshaz19) reported@ybtweetz I bought the Summer issues off of eBay

D. Hathaway (@businessdhhrd) reported👀 5 copies of the Ditto Expo Promo have sold on my eBay since I posted this copy on X yesterday. The average sale price across those 5 copies was $437.40 per card. On X, I’m offering near-mint copies for $350 each — no tax + free shipping. 🔥 I’ll consider discounts on multiple copies. 💰 THE LITTLE GUY WON’T BE AVAILABLE FOREVER. 🐐 Started with roughly 1,200–1,500 copies… I’m down to about 150 copies left. 🥹🥹🥹

ClearlyFried (@ClearlyFried) reported@ethan05760592 @scruffycitytv @megsaidwot Supply issue? while they’re listed by the thousands on eBay and Marketplace. Sounds like the only shortage is your wallet broke boy

Kyl⭕ZΞn (@Kyl0Z3n) reported@glacierptrading $15 then $12. RCeO is clueless and bagging share holders intentionally. No plan. No ebay. See you down low
-
John Deer (@bbby4lyfe) reported@teddy__com @ryancohen Ill keep happily buying nothing has changed except the price, which is controlled by ken griffin. If u bought at $22 why wouldnt you buy here? What has fundamentally changed? The ebay deal is looking better everyday the price goes down lol.

Shoebox_Stadium (@ShoeboxStadium) reportedWas trying to put some cards up for sale on eBay today, but the option to set flat price shipping was gone. Anyone else have this issue?

Polsia (@polsia) reportedSolo marketplace arbitrage operators are getting vaporized by Amazon and eBay's 2026 rules. Built Margent to fix that — an AI-ops console where every buy, listing, and reprice passes through a supervised review queue. Audited. Logged. Policy-safe.

tree ౨ৎ (@dearlytree) reportedmy fave author has a special edition shop exclusive version of her new book so I went to the shop so many times and it was never in stock (too popular me thinks). but mr tree tracked it down on ebay & surprised me with it yesterday 😭 this is love
-
Doyoudrewtoo (@Werdnah815) reported@SpawnWaveMedia Keep in mind this is asking prices but only become real eBay sales if people give in to them. But people will probably give in to them :/ Or people will tag the sales and attack to take them down since preorders are being scrutinized more lately
-
Bio Broly $Ski $Pengu (@The_Bio_Broly) reported@Aarameshi My buddy just had this exact thing happen with a GRADED CARD and ebay authenticity made him offer buyer a partial refund. He asked me if I had ever seen this issue before and I hadnt now Ive seen it twice in a week.

Kevin (@CardsKevin) reportedFeels good I sliced my ebay watch list down from 800 something to 402 lol

***** Kaperki (@carjdun) reported@SecretService They robbed me by blackmailing because of 2 stolen phones we purchased from eBay without our knowledge And blackmailed me that if I don’t give the money on my bank account , they will shut down our business , and Scott Windish opened my car glove box and took 3k cash and took my phone on the way to Wells Fargo and we waited at the Wells Fargo teller line 10 min and teller wrote a 39.000 dollars cashiers check under SECRET SERVICE and after they took me to STARBUCKS and made me sign paperworks…

Im going to sticker all of these at last sale or under. Some of them i may bump down as the day goes along. 5.99 Shipping. If you buy 2, shipped free. If you buy 3, 10% off. Should be listing around 1:30 Pm Central and End 10 PM Central.

NEOAethyr (@NEOAethyr) reported@ChrisPirillo The problem with support these days could be down to them wanting to avoid the craziness. Think about it, half the folks wanting to chat with support are probably pissed off. The other day I saw someone say ebay has no support, I know they do. You just gotta get through the bot.

Bill (@BillNeilso) reported@hirdy1888 @vintedUK That’s grim I bought trainers for myself a fortnight past and didn’t like them on Stuck them on Vinted and they took the advert down saying they were counterfeit. Had to sell them on EBay. Shambles Hirdy Turns out it’s checked by AI that clearly doesn’t work.

Space Junkyard (@PavelVanchugov) reported@Cheesehead715 @sairahul1 @grok So does my openclaw model agnostic agent using developed skill. Though I use 3td party service for API content push then fix little things via browser skill. The command is "sell on eBay" followed by photos and short qty and condition description.

american-know-nothing (@a_know_nothing) reportedJust watched Whatever It Takes: Inside the eBay Scandal. It’s crazy. And it’s not. Most people outside of enterprises assume people inside enterprises operate with their values. The truth is that many leaders values are simply to “advance by any means necessary”. The part that did surprise me was how this Director was able to fire everyone and replace all empty chairs with an army of Fembots without legal or any executive raising an issue. @ValueAddedRS

TYPE O NEGATIVE (@LOCAL_GRAVEYARD) reported@preterniadotcom McFarlane's the only figures where people buy them to scalp, and they go down in value. Wanted to get the Robin for my nephew's collection, I'll just find him in a lot on ebay next year for less than retail
-
Imsosmart (@ImSoSmart1985) reported@Useless_Cog @ryancohen GME was not up 26% when RC announced eBay acquisition. It had already trended down to around $22.50 and had started moving back to mid 23.50 - 23.90 and then RC announced $1.4 Billion convertible notes. But up until then, GME was already -45% on the 5-year
-
Chris Top Fur (@christopfur11) reported@CardsMax Should have to pay immediately IMO. If there is an issue with paying within 24 hours the buyer should reach out and let the seller know. When I used to sell on eBay, and most items were pretty low end after about 24 hours my success rate of being paid was like 10%.

angie (@euphoria_atr) reported@4Miathebrave If you are going to purchase physical copies, I suggest the nitro store! You can find the copy you want to purchase, give the link, title and price to a proxy or middleman who will purchase it, store it until you pay for shipping and then send it to you! Or, you could obtain a Japanese address for free with a packaging forwarding service, make a nitro store account yourself, pay yourself, and then have it forward to you with no middleman required! There is also j-list, based in America, that sells the offical english versions of the games! It’s all in eng, is easy to navigate, and is domestic for you, so no proxy required. eBay is full of resellers and scalpers who buy up all the stock, and resell it for higher prices. If you have issues with limited stock always being sold out, please do not support or buy from the scalpers and resellers on eBay, as that will just make the issue worse. Good luck!

Vin’s Card Depot (@VinsCardDepot) reportedeBay standard envelope has been a real hit or miss over the last few weeks both as a seller and buyer…. Anyone else seem to be having some issues with getting scans or delivery updates??
-
Ryan Davis (@RyanDavisIND) reported@SteveFrenchAMZ The problem is that you don't know until later when Amazon flags them. On the other hand, eBay Global Shipping is fantastic. If something goes wrong in the process, eBay buys your item and liquidates it. The seller and buyer both keep their money.

Tom (@comingconflict) reported@Burnstation3D Get a refurb K1 on eBay (they are on coupon right now) and call it a day. The issue is parts availability. once you get to a certain point the parts may not even be available (thanks Creality) . You can get a K1 for like 200$ something
-
MSG Collectibles (@msgcollectibles) reported@tvhuitger @Pittsburgh1Pete @TwistedConcept I use eBay standard envelope and the small amount of lost cards hasn’t been an issue. I refund and you as the seller are still covered with their protection for using ESE. Only thing is you have to wait 30 days to submit a claim but no issues at all. I use ESE for all under $20

🇺🇲 Don King USA 🇺🇲 (@zzzrrrpp) reported@carsonkrow Think of all the people who have it worse and count your blessings that you don't have an Ebay return label problem like me.😡
