  @Hellaorganics I love whatnot. It’s the best place to go for items especially when you don’t have the time or ability to head to a card show or lcs. eBay is cool for somethings but on whatnot, you can get steals, have amazing selections, see rare items or, depending on the seller, get a real good look at the cards prior to buying. Some buyers love swirls so they highlight them for the buyers who care for it. I would never recommend rip n shipping but it’s there if you chose too. Whatnot has very good technical support and a legit check system. And the best part is that all I have to do is sit my fat *** down, use my fat *** finger and swipe to get something I want and delivered to my doorstep. I don’t have to use up gas and my time to potentially get disappointed.

  @alt_w_v_g You know what ebay needs? "eBay local". Put up a fight against Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. FB marketplace is trash, and clist died when they started to charge for posting. Pls fix. Thx.

  @gregisenberg Exactly this. Built my SaaS while everyone was chasing the AI hype wave. Same reason my eBay business works - I'm solving problems in markets that don't have 500 funded startups fighting over every customer.

  @ryancohen I started a small trading card shop on eBay a couple years ago. Was doing alright as far as sales but stopped and shut it down because of eBay’s insane fees. I hope this goes through because I’m confident @ryancohen would turn things around. #MakeEBayGreatAgain

  @alt_w_v_g I have sold on Ebay, I am tapering my inventory down to zero. I am done, High fees, the way they lump postage costs into your sale... china selling junk at prices lower (including postage) than anyone in the US can ship it for, no money to be made there for the little guy.

  @alt_w_v_g I've been seeking on Ebay for 20 years. Every single year it goes from bad to worse. They don't even care. This is a great write up and explanation what has happened. They also make it impossible to even contact them when there's an issue.

  @ermiasbraki Everything I have posted about in the last 2 weeks is something I've been reporting on for ~5 years. So no, I'm not just chasing "the attention economy" but yes I am happy to see some of the longstanding culture, governance & other issues at eBay getting attention they have deserved for some time. Importantly - most of those issues have been completely ignored by legacy business & financial media for years. Maybe someone should ask them why?

  @Stonkfather2021 that's true. but our counter party needs to hedge the risk and in theory is buying the underlying asset. If we take the money, not shares, they will have to actually sell the shares and that will bring the eBay price down while in theory strengthening our balance sheet in the process.

  @pinglyadya If goyim stopped buying scalped packs, the scalpers would move onto something else after sets pile up in their apartment. The problem is Pokemon fans are the lowest form of consumer cattle ever and will cry about scalpers while simultaneously buying out all their ebay listings.

  Scruffy (@scruffycitytv) reported 16 minutes ago

  Im not reading all of that but I have zero issues with ebay. I buy and sell on there daily. No where else will you get that many people actively buying and selling. As for the fees. I really don’t even care. Account for them when you make your listing prices. It’s a free market. I use eBay for the amount of eyes on my products. GameStop shills just can’t get over this.

  @yanxchick I don't sell, but I do like eBay even though it has its issues and, since the New Year, I don't get my stuff some of the time but still fun! I prefer trading the cards I don't want, it's more fun than selling.

  Attention EBay sellers that use EBay plain white envelope. My local post office denied my shipment because it didn’t include the “non machinable surcharge, 49 cents”. They said usps is starting to crack down on this. @CardPurchaser

  @xMarketNews The people against GME & their holders are pumping into EBAY to make the buy impossible.. so holders lose faith and sell, which in turn lowers the stock, driving the nail further. This is the slow GME death they were looking for, and RC gave it to them on a silver platter.

  @ctizzie @AshAgony I’m all good with crushing illegal, unregisterable mopeds. People are spending over $3K on crate e-mopeds off of eBay and other portals- WITH NO VIN NUMBERS! That’s right, this is a Federal issue and good luck with that.

  @larrykingundead @Wozniat I don't know how many people thought Superman was going stay dead. But i remember people who thought that issue was going be worth big money. And you get a sealed black polybag for 20 bucks on ebay today. lol. You really should only collect something unless your really enjoy it.

  Jon Bryson (@jonbryson93) reported 35 minutes ago

  @Jbm_dev Because listing industrial electronic items on eBay through eBays app takes to long especially when all the details of the items matter and typing them allows for too much human error. I built a Ebay listing agent that allows you to just take multiple pictures of the item especially the name plate, then it drafts the Ebay listing while you are off taking the next set of photos. Not to mention it sets a price based off of eBay sales as well as historical data and google data. At the end of the day you have a big list of drafts to review to ensure accuracy and then you do a bulk listing push to Ebay live. I've reduced the time to list one item from 8 minutes down to less than 1 minute.

  @MTG_HODL @CardPurchaser You issue a refund, and file a damaged in transit claim with eBay’s ESE insurance. Then you move on. You’ll get paid out in like 3 days max to your PayPal and then you block the buyer.

  EBay proposal : rejected. RC tells he will go Ask shareholders to vote. The problem ? Institutions holding the biggest eBay positions are very likely to be short GME, so they must not agree on the deal because it will make them go under water on their GME shorts. A not impossible solution : buying eBay cash with some 5D-chess move financing. Would be a real earthquake !

  Obi Cal (@terraformedmind) reported 41 minutes ago

  @gitman_phil @bostong41476161 @ryancohen Right, so the massive offerings at $30+ had no effect. Acquisition news right as GME was breaking out and EBay was near ATHs didn’t drive the stock price down (contrary to your first reply) He filed that proxy like the quickness the second he THOUGHT RK was hack.

  @zebular0 or is wall st. widening the spread to shut the proposed deal down??? ebay rises above the $125 offer and gme slumps down to $20 or possibly below? we all know the prices are set by MM'ers

  @PeterRHann1 Is this the Kansas City shuffle? If GME moons, he won’t need to issue shares to buy eBay? Does he exercise eBay options and buy something else? Or does he push through the eBay purchase as stated?

  GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen Pushes Forward After eBay Rejects $56 Billion Bid eBay's board turned down GameStop's unsolicited $56 billion offer, citing doubts over financing, valuation, and merger risks, despite the bid's 46% premium over eBay's February price. Cohen, who holds a 5% stake through shares and derivatives, highlighted GameStop's shift from big losses to $130 million quarterly profits since he took over in 2023, backed by nearly $9 billion in cash and a confident debt letter. Retail investors cheered Cohen on, while he eyes synergies like using GameStop's 1,600 stores for eBay's collectibles and hints at rallying eBay's owners next. $EBAY $GME

  @MrJdotETH @ryancohen Scammers and bad sellers are the biggest problem on eBay right now. The hope is GameStop's ownership would actually prioritize trust over fee extraction. A marketplace that vets sellers and takes a cut only on closed deals would solve both problems at once.

  @alt_w_v_g eBay has its problems, sure. But I don't want the guy that turned Gamestop into the funko pop store trying to "fix" it. Ironically any game can be found cheaper on eBay than Gamestop.

  Threadguy shares the exact response eBay used to shut down Ryan Cohen's proposal to take them private at $125 a share. After Cohen went on a media tour calling them out, eBay fired back, telling him, "We have concluded that your proposal is neither credible nor attractive." They cited factors like eBay's standalone prospects, the uncertainty of his financial proposal, and the impact on long-term growth. After reviewing the board's official reasoning, Threadguy sums up the rejection as just a bunch of legal corporate slop.
