    @ThePokeMD It’s fine had a similar issue before. eBay rep basically said if it is a fake card then it will always get rejected so this “miscategorization” isn’t related to authenticity etc

    @ConceptualJames Competition for clicks is getting very very comptetitive and the pressure to create consistent media output. Increase in fearmongering and ragebaiting, AI content is driving overall quality down to the lowest common denominator. This happened to Ebay in the 2000's.

    @renoipgp That's true, I was just highlighting a new account that registered after the other eBay accounts were shutdown. Obviously very little effort from eBay to keep problem sellers off the site.

    @IndefiniteLT @VibesMBSE it was before my time but part of CARTER lore is they took a rogue wave shifting home ports from northeast to Bangor. a water column came down the hatch and the ship's computer was right there they had to get the replacement computer from ebay that was the story anyway

    @StonksMae Problem is everyone is confused and there is no clear direction. Buying eBay or no? CEO unpaid or getting 35B? More dilution coming? Bonds being converted or not? Too much uncertainty

    @MTGSecretLair ngl that queue was nasty today - first issue since ordering from you guys. waited in queue for 3 hours just for it to sell out immediately after sales started again. multiple listings on ebay for over retail. kinda sucks :/

  • DeadlessHick
    HowlingHemorrhoids (@DeadlessHick) reported

    A funny thing about ebay for me is when I get a wild hair up my *** on buying stuff, like a new HDD to replace a dead one in my server, I'll peruse the auctions with current bids ~50% below market value, and then place a max bid of ~80% market value. Often times I do this, I see that someone else has already placed a higher max bid than I'm willing to do. So I feel like a gremlin running around ebay casually helping sellers and causing the other bidders to lose a chance at a true deal. I got a $420 camera lens for $200 doing this method though.

    @OffDaHook35 Sold some slabs at LCS today and narrowed my pc down to a small box. I have a 2000 card lot on eBay to sell the rest. A lot are cards from packs I ripped this year. LCS wouldn’t even look at them

    @selStreams @austeregrim @RDKLInc You can't buy CPAPs, for example, on eBay. They are class II medical devices and their requires a doctor's prescription. Some people have tried to get around that by selling a CPAP travel bag for $300, which just so happened to have a CPAP in it. But eBay has cracked down on that, too. Not all medical devices require a prescription, though.

    @CoCCollectibles Yeah. Still nice though. Don't feel bad. I owned THE Brady card for a minute in 2004. Got it for $400 from Ebay back when the photos were usually terrible. Seller said it was NM, but I couldn't tell from the pics. I trusted him. It wasn't NM, so I sold it at a loss.

    @Jtsbae69 I started using eBay in college & stick with that since I’ve built reviews. Starting fresh, I’d go down a Reddit rabbit hole, there are so many damn options now. See what sounds best. Make sure whatever you go with has seller protections!

    88 PSA 10 Pongo Enchanted’s From Fabled exist. My first raw just came in and is absolutely a contender. Grabbed another clean copy coming in from Australia for $259.86 last night with taxes and fees. The boys down under are lagging in market prices. Make sure you check out Australian sellers on eBay 🇦🇺 #Pokemon ————> #Lorcana

    Explain the issues for us to see if you're trustworthy or not. It's a 10$ card man you're not giving the winner a Tesla. If you don't have the card in hand, just Buy it on eBay and just send it to him... If you won't do something this simple, please stop trying to infiltrate your way into this space.

    @robert_m45 @Pirat_Nation then when your discs that you cant use become so rare you can charge 3 times the amount you paid for it on ebay blaming disc drives not working is lame when a game licence runs out that gets taken from you for good and you signed up for it...we all did with any digital game.

    @laralogan Goodwill was established to train unemployed or undereducated men to repair items for resale. Now they don't accept broken items that need repair. And they have learned that they can make more money reselling stuff on eBay than in stores.

    @Psycho0111 It all comes down to if there is any material info out there. With everything around eBay it might be hard to get around the safe harbor laws Also, I’m not sure if the pre earnings release counts, we get the full thing next week

    Alex Thompson (@sierrastrades) reported

    TL;DR Sales down, profits up, cash lower because they turned the eBay options into real shares. • Sales: $780–800M vs $972M last year. Drop is mostly Switch 2 anniversary, store closures, and selling France. • Operating income: $150–170M vs $66M. Core operations got a lot more profitable. • Net income: $290–310M vs $169M. Includes ~$238M eBay gain, minus ~$75M digital-asset loss. • Cash: $5.05–5.07B vs $8.69B last year. Cash fell because they converted the eBay derivatives into 43.4 million eBay shares, now worth about $4.95B. • Full results drop September 8.

    So I made a complaint, got auto response saying no regulations broken. Appealed, response 12 hours later saying same 😯😳 @eBay_UK @eBay Why do you allow sellers to defraud buyers by letting them cancel the order, change the price, ask them to reorder, & hope they won't notice?
