-
GME DaLoot (@gmeorbust0) reported@MomchilB @unusual_whales if u actually look at the numbers its far from run down and actually profitable with $9b in cash. so i think hes earned every right to call ebay board greedy losers
-
OneManSaas (@OneManSaas) reported@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.

TonguesOutGlassArt (@boroartgroyper) reported@2ray_degenemax @ahiychmpsm eBay is likely the least headache, but assume it will be opened by customs. If you have a bunch of trouble finding a good source I’ll happily hit a 7-11 and send you the whole line up, but private shipping is $$$ corporate is $, so eBay will probably be cheaper

paige (@kayfrancisfilm) reported@joanslayford my exact problem LMFAO i’ve been addicted to ebay lately and i’m waiting on a package to arrive today 😭
-
Mara (@LilBigTrouble) reported@machinehead76 @diabolikdvd I didn’t time it so I’m not going to debate the 3 minutes lol the issue is scalpers got most of them, several are on eBay.
-
Fury T (@FuryT2dot0) reported@LegendofNoward @Dexerto you are so ******* slow brother. as i sit here on my 3rd monitor on X messaging with you doing 2 other things on my main monitors. keep enjoying that **** box. and, it's just sad if you think I'm flexing my $40k a year in ebay sales when i also work a full time job.

tomcat71 (@tomcat71_) reported@PhantomBlack699 @ryancohen Because it’s a platform that allows theft and they have done nothing to fix it in 10 years. Never use it until @ryancohen fixes #ebay

RL (@RL_4444) reported@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.

Thumb Out 42 (@42thumbout) reported@fbb4official @eBay Feels like RC sold us out driving the price down to absolute b**** numbers. What are your thoughts?
-
Treasure Dive 🏴☠️🤿 (@TheTreasureDive) reported@ryancohen As a small eBay seller grinding daily-This is 100% facts. eBay straight up says in Seller Hub: “Promote this listing or it won’t get shown.” It’s no longer about best item, photos, or price- it’s about how much extra “toll fee” you’ll pay for visibility.Fix it @ryancohen @eBay
-
Ardiz (@ARDIZsq) reported@Pirat_Nation “The physical disc would likely stop working afterword.” Cool, so make a digital copy, ruin the physical release entirely, now you can either scam on eBay or have a working copy and charge 20x the price, making piracy a bigger issue than ever before. Brilliant…
-
i am a winner (@darthdunsparce) reported@Pirat_Nation Asking for trouble with this. People will sell the bad copies on ebay with no disclosure
-
The New Mocha Joe (@TheNewMochaJoe) reported@CGasparino Must be getting the eBay deal. The market seems to be indicating that with GME down and eBay up.
-
NonMundane (@n0nmundan3) reportedOk, this is a warning about @ebay Now they will lie to you in many ways. One of the most important ways is any way in which they will claim to empower you as a seller, but actually will punish you for being a problem. They have something called "defects" and they can't WAIT to
-
GeeDeeCee (@DennisHarwich) reported@ryancohen Yeah and you're too much of a ***** to issue a blockchain dividend for $GME . Sounds like you're even more of a "hollow man" than the eBay **** heads are.
-
AwakeNotWoke (@AddisonJK) reported@Byerocm @KillaKreww Yes, but a fair offer would be at least 1/2 the value of a collectible. There’s a MASSIVE market for these cards, which means they’re fairly liquid. It’s not like it was something that would take up space in his retail shop. He could’ve instantly posted it to eBay and set a reserve at $2500+. He KNOWINGLY offered her less than 10% of the value of ONE card for the whole collection. Then acted like he’s doing her a favor and has sympathy after he thought her son died? Sir, if you don’t see the issue here, then you need to reexamine your moral compass

Sandman Slabs (@SandmanBen) reportedAnyone have an issue where your eBay listing is getting 0 views, but an exact same listing from someone else has tons of views and watchers? Mine is showing 0 viewers and been up for over 24 hours. Doesn’t even show in the search. @CardPurchaser
-
George Cairns (@georgethefourth) reported@ColinGunn1960 Wow. Amazing that you have a copy. Someone is trying to sell that issue on EBay for £26. Good luck to ‘em. I still have my contributor’s copy. The editor was Ian McLachlan - my school teacher at the time!
-
finley (@jscottfinley) reported@ryancohen My wife has popular collectibles listed with zero views bc she won’t pay the fee. Literally zero views Pls fire everyone at eBay immediately and fix it thanks boss
-
AlwaysTomorrow (@tomorrow741741) reported@userofintellect Soooo why is the stock is down now that eBay has refused the buyout offer? 🤔
-
tokyoto (@bball4224) reported@swanson18982373 @alt_w_v_g If he's the owner of a slimy company and didn't fix it, what makes you think he would fix ebay?
-
Aleksei | Only21M (@AMoneroHodler) reported@zectrillionaire @Jace_TCG Imo it's a 5% convenience fee. You already get down to 85% selling on ebay. MTG used to have Card Kingdom which was pretty good at trading in random bulk for good cards but now their high end stuff is ridiculously marked up.
-
MarkMurrayBooks (@MarkMurrayBooks) reportedSometimes a post on X makes you think on things you never thought about before. I liked Gamestop. Now I like them even more. I've hated Ebay for many years. Now I know why. Thanks for breaking things down, @alt_w_v_g

picstoral (@picstoral) reportedFeeling down enough, then a (eBay) return cancelled out the profit I made from the buyer who bought three items (same one who bought an item I couldn't find). I write detailed descriptions, no AI for me. Color, shape, size, a brief history if I know it. That piece of jewelry that was returned was expensive for its size. Yet despite the detail the buyer "just didn't like it" and it was "too small". Now I'm worried that it will happen again. Like I said I'm just a small time seller on SSDI & can't absorb that much of a return like big sellers can.

Daily Coach Picks (@DailyCoachPicks) reportedThe EBay story that nobody is talking about: -GME is down 19% since Cohen embarrassed himself on CNBC -The Math only works if he dilutes GME shareholders by 60+% -Closed at 21.61 today, with single digit downside in the horizon My Opinion: RC = grifting conman

Tburdy (@Tburdy) reported@Chase sucks! And we will be removing our business' banking from there if they don't fix this problem right away. We had a sophisticated hack on our computer in March. And they charged over $40,000 to our card. With over 20 transactions. They had control over our computer remotely. They also used our Amazon eBay and Etsy accounts which were logged in to try to purchase other items like gold bars and Amazon gift cards and a $3500 computer. But those companies all knew it was fraud and they canceled it. There were $35,000 in charges directly to the credit card were for a Hong Kong, social media company. Chase just came back to us and told us that they were not going to cover it because they say we clicked on accepting it through our email as a valid charge... we did not do that! the person that had remote control over our computer did it! they were logged into our email there and remotely operating our computer! All the charges happened at midnight. We woke up at 7 AM to alerts for all these charges, and when my husband tried to deny them, it kicked back and said that they were already approved and he couldn't deny them. So he went in to the bank, and the banker said he could take care of it, and he was going to reverse the charges. Well yesterday, somebody from Chase fraud department called and said that we're on the hook for the charges, because it came from our IP address!!!! We tried to explain to the person that it's because they had remote control from somewhere else in the world of our computer because it was a hack. And that us going in the next morning, bright and early as soon as they open to tell them that it was fraud should have been enough. Because that's what the banker told us! We don't do business in China so why would we want to pay a Chinese company? We don't do business at midnight because we're asleep! We filed a police report, but we had not kept the hacking evidence because the bank had assured us that it was going to be reversed. We wiped that computer and haven't been using it. If there's any information still on that computer that might show that it had been hacked before, that I can access still, if somebody can let me know how that would be appreciated.

Jim Miloch (@podoffame) reported@primetimeMitch @hochman Has me going on EBay to buy old issues. Would love a fixed vault.

Hell dracotail got beat up a few days ago But also, in Japan the price issue doesn’t really exist. I could by a crown on eBay for $20 lmao. It’s only a problem here

General Jackson (@jackson_ge51896) reported@rnewton7777 It's going to be funny when the market goes one way and takes ebay back down to 60's while GME goes to 125!!
