    @PG_rayC @JustJoshTho @TCGplayer This is not just a problem on tcgplayer. I’ve seen this happen on Amazon and EBay for cards too. I’m surprised even with tracking and how things are formatted today, scams and reports like these still occur.

    @Fatal09ity @PoliteDKnight @eBay I’m assuming there’s damage not seen by two photos. eBay’s raw authentication and reship is absolutely terrible.

    @eBay, my new business account The Daily Drop was permanently suspended before I could even list my first item. AI error? Phone support keeps hanging up & won't explain. I am a real person w/ a real identity. Can a human help me verify my ID so I can start? #eBay #CustomerService

    @IndexAndForget Paid £6k for my Submariner back in 2020. I could’ve sold it on ebay the next day for £10k. That’s why there are 2 year waiting lists for them. They have come down a bit in value recently though but long term you’ll never lose money on one plus it’s a nice item to pass down in the future with memories attached to it.

    @rohit4verse Consumer demand is down all over the place. My mom has a eBay storefront and has sold antiques/vintage jewelry for over 20 years now on their platform and she told me yesterday that sales are non-existent. People have stopped dropping off dry cleaning (expected with all the layoffs), and restaurants are struggling to keep open.

    @RippinCityCard @georgeinthecord @CardPurchaser There are all sorts of dumb things that are against eBay rules. Usually it’s only an issue if it gets reported. A seller who pulls this crap is also likely to block and report the buyer, then complain on social media about how unreasonable everyone is

    This ******* scumbag @IamNYSports has to be the dumbest mush for brains mutant in the history of the world, or he's just lying, trolling, and laughing his way to the bank with my $70. He keeps sending me messages on my primary ebay account that he never got any messages from me (since April 5th), but that's because he blocked my primary ebay account on April 5th, so of course he hasn't gotten my messages since then. Ebay customer service has emailed him telling him that, and I created a secondary ebay account so that I could message him from that, and I included screenshots of our message thread from my primary account to show him I sent him multiple messages since April 5th explaining to him that he never got them because he blocked me, and he still replies with what you see in the screenshots below on this post. Nothing, and I mean nothing, absolutely nothing would please me more than confronting this mutant with violence. I could win millions on the lottery, and all my teams could win back to back championships for the next decade, and I could have the hottest Colombian women sucking my **** on piles of money from my millions, and I would still be happier if I could repeatedly punch this braindead or lying trolls face in until my knuckles get ripped down to the bones. It's literally impossible for someone to be this ******* dumb. He has to be doing it on purpose.

    @knarz_ @u_m_a_m_i So I just bought a custom MtG deck off of ebay. How is that person not providing me with the deck if he went through all the trouble to assemble it, list it and ship it? He's as much a part of the whole thing as the factory workers who made the cards and the truckers who ship/

    Buyer BEWARE. Apparently, @eBay policy is to allow 100%, stone cold LIES to be advertised on their site. Multiple listings reported for blatant lies intended to manipulate search. eBay: “No problem found” Interesting.

    @XRPee1983 I've seen this seller a lot on eBay and whilst they do have some great items, they sell collectables at obscene prices I dont understand why they wont try to price it fairly even if its initially ridiculous like 25K. At least you can negotiate down You can haggle from $5 mill!

    As bad as his prices were it really was not justified for me to be happy when his eBay account was down. It’s really the only way they make money. (someone can correct me if I’m wrong.)

    Calling it now - when LIV officially shuts down at least one golf hack with absolutely zero talent (I know, I should be more specific) will title their article: LIV Golf: The Day the Music Died Matt Vinclownzi will be ransacking his office for things he can throw on EBay.

    @Richard_Colo @eBay I’ve had so many @eBay issues being a seller similar to this, was a seller since ‘05 and walked away due to unfair treatment of sellers and piss poor customer service.

    @ValueAddedRS @southscanner @eBay Interesting, thanks! That’s a great way to test it. I guess prices have just gone up. But also, people should not ship anything of any size with USPS, for many reasons, but one is price. I wonder if something recently has pushed people to USPS rather than FedEx/UPS, which is much better for larger items. There’s definitely a recent upsurge in this problem.

    @RNFdowney @eBay and, no, a bid is not a binding contract when made in error. a binding contract requires intent. when you intend to bid 11.56 and not 1156, there is no contract when your bid is automatically raised to 25.77--regardless of any ebay policy. there was never any intent to bid that.

    Quite torn on what to do now. 🤔 There is a newer lens in my area that's 150-450mm, but also double my original budget for a lens. Do I just suck it up and take the hit money wise or keep gambling on finding a good lens on ebay? I'd be so sad if I got another broken one..

    @DisTrackers eBay is terrible they don’t respond unless you call, even after that they let scammers stay on their site without doing anything. Even for selling they suck they deleted everything I posted cause I logged in on a tablet instead of my phone

  • ValueAddedRS
    Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported

    @RDKLInc @southscanner @eBay I did a sell similar on that listing to see what the seller had entered - 9 lbs, 20 x 20 x 12. If you plug that into the USPS retail postage calculator using the zip code for seller location & buyer zip in your screenshot, it does come out to $74.27 for the click & ship rate. So that means the eBay calculator is working correctly for the info provided. USPS has made some recent changes that cause the rates to go up pretty significantly depending on dimensions - for example that same 9 lbs in a 12 x 12 x 12 would only be $14.92. I'm guessing some of the sellers you're seeing with high prices may have historically padded their dimensions a bit in effort to avoid shipping adjustments after the fact & they may not realize it is affecting their pricing much more now than it may have in the past. There could certainly be other instances where the issue is an error on eBay's part but when it comes to something like this example, really the only thing eBay could do to address it is to maybe have a warning advising sellers to review their listings for correct weight & dimensions - or to consider adding other shipping methods, like the flat rate options you mentioned. Ultimately though it's up to the seller to make sure they are entering correct info & to decide which shipping options they want to offer.

    @pray4goodpulls So is it actually worth it to send a card from eBay directly to PSA? Legitimately asking because I’ve seen it on many cards I’ve bought and have felt like some could’ve been a 10 but didn’t want to spend the extra money and get let down lmao

    @RDKLInc @eBay I don't use mobile, but it might not matter. An error on their end is generated. I had a screen shot, but I can't find it. It was one of those "something went wrong" type notifications.

    @SquirtleMobCapt The manon hoodie will sell out and be available on eBay for $2499. The yoonchae will also sell out and be available on eBay for 4 million won. Daniella’s will not sell out. Lara’s will be damaged in transit. A glitch will prevent Megan’s from being available.
