-
NKP1993 (@nkp1993) reportedI broke down and bought a copy of The Potential Daleks. This boxset was clearly a big seller because it's hard to find for cheap. If you look on ebay it's already going for $200+! Luckily I found mine at @alienentertain, but it was still $85. Good grief! Could be worse I suppose.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedBig brands clear listings with legal teams. Solo sellers lose them to Prop 65 warnings, GPSR labels, or trademark conflicts they didn't know existed. Citeward reads every listing on Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, and eBay, flags the gaps, and drafts the fix. Live soon.

Forgemaster64 (@Forgemaster64) reported@MidlifeCrysis_ It’s tiresome cause you’re debating thinking you’re right. But you’re not, there’s no debate, we are talking at crossed purposes. I get it’s cheaper on eBay, and you’re right, it is, I’m not disputing that What I’m actually telling you, is why the problem at CEX exists.

ShipGenius (@ShipGenius) reported4/ eBay tables, side hustles, and garage sellers hit this when rate cards flip mid-year. The fix is multi-carrier quotes on the real box. Not a trip to the landscaping aisle.
-
YungFarquuad (@theyungfarquuad) reported@KellyCards You were offered a partial refund and declined, expedited the issue to eBay support for a full refund intentionally, and are more than likely going to pocket the card once it arrives. How is that “doing the right thing” exactly?

Broseph Smith (@brosephsmith420) reportedEbay is ******* broken lmao. Got an item returned as "unverified" from authentication. (It's real, they're retarded) However, the shipping for the return package never updated. So, the auto-refund didn't register. And I can't manually refund the customer, since the "authentication guarantee" won't register a full refund as a "resolved dispute", thereby dinging my account. And when I go to ebay help now, this is the screen I get, because I typed exactly 4 questions longer than a sentence into their search bar. It is impossible to speak with a human on ebay. I guess I'll just ******* eat this for now, but I don't know what to do. And I hate that "working for yourself" still involved on relying upon retarded companies run by ****** Indian AIs, so you have to fight to make the few bucks profit you get after the dumb fees.

Marine Veteran 1st Gulf War (@USMarineVet1969) reported@EllieGAnders @Brian_onX this is the one I use. Discovery DLS Bidet Seat by BioBidet Bemis. They are a good company. I bought one on ebay, it arrived broken, and they replaced it. way above expectations.

Regis' Cartoons (@RegisCartoons) reportedMy sister nearly got us in trouble with our ISP provider because she dabbled in piracy a few times. I would rather buy the media on eBay for $5, than to risk myself on some random unknown torrent site.

Snake (@ApePlissken01) reported@CEOAdam Thats Rediculous you *****🤦 trying to shut down the little guy yet again. Only thing you can do is stop scalping from right in front of your theaters. If I buy something and then decide to sell it on ebay its legal. I think you're going to get Sued again.wasting retail cash

ShipGenius (@ShipGenius) reported4/ Card shops and eBay tables lose margin two ways: postage guesses and "it should be fine in an envelope" One is a rate problem. One is a product-arrives problem. Fix both.
-
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.

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.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 196 Total sales: $374.99 eBay earnings: $180.35 Buy cost (COG): $37.40 Net profit: $142.95 ROI: 382% Not every day goes exactly as planned. Today included a cancellation on a higher dollar order before it shipped, but that's part of the business. The good news is I still have the inventory & can sell it again. The biggest takeaway after nearly 200 days is that consistency beats perfection. A canceled order doesn't erase the work you've put in. A slow day doesn't define your business. And one good day doesn't mean you can take your foot off the gas. The focus remains the same Keep listing. Refresh older inventory. Adjust stale pricing. Source quality products. Let the numbers compound over time. Every profitable day, even the imperfect ones, moves the business forward. On to Day 197. 📦💪

Andrew Chu (@theahchu) reportedShoe update. Played again but it fell apart once more. So do I regret spending the money to get it fixed? No. Now I know it wasn't my attempt to fix it but rather the shoe itself is just beyond repair and that was worth the money. I also learned do your due dili on ebay.

Josh Chin (@JoshuaChronos) reported> Started my "entrepreneurial career" in an MLM that turned out to be a scam > Bought into the idea that there's a step-by-step process to wealth > Had no money to buy or acquire stuff to sell > So I tutored kids for $50/hr, felt like insane money back then > Accumulated a couple hundred bucks a week, that was my whole hustle > Then asked myself: I've traded time for money, now how do I trade money for more money > Put every dollar into a course, got into eBay dropshipping > Taught myself the rest, made my first $1,000, kept repeating that loop > That loop is where I actually learned the skills I run my business on today > Started what became Chronos, one of the earliest agencies to go all-in on Klaviyo > No team, no case studies, just me learning retention marketing account by account > Audited hundreds of brands by hand before "audit" was even a word people used in this space > Built the thing nobody was building: a system for retention, not just a service > Kept every client relationship strategist-led instead of handing accounts to whoever was free > Scaled slow on purpose, took years before I'd bring on people I hadn't personally trained > Built a team of 75 spread across the world instead of one office in the US > Now servicing ~60 active brands, sending 700+ campaigns a month across all of them > $400M+ in attributed revenue and counting, still climbing > Every number came from the same instinct I had tutoring kids for $50/hr > Don't chase volume, chase the highest-leverage thing you can do with the time you have > It's 2026 and I still believe retention is the most underrated lever in ecom > Because LTV to CAC is the number every buyer actually looks at when they value your business > I've watched brands 2-3x their profitability just by fixing what they were already sending > The MLM taught me the lesson to invest in yourself first, because that's the highest ROI investment you'll ever make > Everything after that, the courses, the audits, the agency, was just compounding on that first lesson

K 🔪🎃 (@bbbubies) reportedI chose this hobby and I know it’s common, but god do these people piss me off. Heaven forbid a fan actually got this instead of someone selling a *pre-order* variant on eBay. The issue doesn’t even come out until next month.

ZZ11 (@Zim11R) reported@eBay @depop Your app doesnt work right. Takes 10 seconds to load any page. Why refuse to fix it ?

***** 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…

Dark Knight (@11DarkKnight11) reported@Jaime91340945 @DutchDane59 Yes, you can swap batteries, screens, etc. If your phone (carrier) uses a SIM, there are MANY brand new "older phones" for sale on eBay and Amazon for under $200. Buy it, pop in your old SIM and away you go. No need for a "new contract", just fix or grab a new, old phone.

David (@davidthepurple) reported@kyosuke_tbf2020 Sometimes bad additives can ruin bed adhesion. I've had filament manufacturers on Ebay and Amazon mix additives meant for PLA in ABS, and vice versa. Best advice, raise bed temp 5c at a time until you get something that lays down.

Carl Brutananadilewski (@BrutanaCarl) reportedI love dressing well. It's never been cheaper; there's tons of suits of the highest quality going for under 100 dollars on ebay. Silk, worsted wool, it's all there. I have to dress down for these sort of things. Totally degenerate culture.

donna connell (@donnaconnell7) reported@VelcroFathoms @AnarchoDarling eBay will always take the buyers side, if there is a problem.
