    @EMTP3764 @RichardCabezza Cool! And lame! Ebay a'hole buyers suck! Just had a guy buy one of the 600 minted Jurassic World T-rex shaped coins who fricken returned without saying anything same day as he received it giving the reason as "Just didn't like it". It is (or at least was) pristine in OMP. It's still on the USPS slow boat back to me, so 🤞 it's still pristine. MF-er! Don't need the stress!

    @premiercards_2 The problem with promo is that Ohtani as a keyword is probably being promo’d to death, so 2% or 10% or 100% isn’t going to move the needle much, and many eyeballs are likely to be casual buyers Some promo probably helps a little, especially when the ad appears off eBay

    anyone who is selling the aranara pet code for more than $25 needs to fix their prices because that's ridiculous. most are selling them at $15-20. anyone that says to dm for the prices are going to try and upsell you. i found one at $17 on ebay thank gods. (link in replies)

    @Royals_Cards I think eBay needs to change NM from “comparable to pack fresh” to something else. Terrible term to use, when many cards come out of the pack with a dent, ding, or scratch

    California unsealed evidence today showing Amazon colluded with retailers like Walmart and Target to fix higher consumer prices. • Amazon pressured vendors to raise prices on competing websites to ensure no other retailer undercut its platform • Common vendors served as go-betweens to coordinate price hikes on sites including Walmart, Target, and eBay • Merchants faced penalties like losing the Buy Box or site suspension for offering lower prices elsewhere • Internal communications revealed Amazon officials vowed to help vendors hunt the price disrupters in the market

    The good and the bad…today we sold a pair of Hunter Boots to a customer on eBay (good) The problem? We don’t know where they are (bad) The solution…I bought another pair from a different eBay seller and let the customer know we messed up. They will get shipped to me and then forwarded to the customer. It’s not perfect but it shows we care. Tomorrow we are doing a eBay listing inventory to make sure this doesn’t happen again. What would you have done?

  • angrytoothpick
    Angry Toothpick Jerky (@angrytoothpick) reported

    I’ve sold 503 cards on eBay. I have 99.7% positive feedback. The one person who left me back feedback felt unfair. He ordered a $3 card with envelope shipping. I sent it in a Turtle Shell and it weighed half of 3oz at best. Apparently the post office held it ransom and charged him $7 to pick it up. I’ve never seen or heard of that as a seller… never. However, I would have paid for it and refunded the price card in a heartbeat. The buyer is always right and I’m happy to make it right, but the buyer never once messaged me. Never told me they were having an issue and never relayed any info until I saw the negative feedback. Tough out here sometimes 😕

    @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

    Yall please buy your phones from first party or a reputable seller, I’m seeing so many phones people are buying from places like eBay or Amazon and it either missing important features, not working, or the seller would report that phone as stolen make the phone useless 😭

    @eBay I have funds on hold due to an MC011 restriction, but the link to submit required info is broken across all devices. Support has not resolved this after multiple calls. I need a working submission method ASAP.

    @RDKLInc @eBay Ebay still hasn't addressed the messaging system, either. I haven't been able to respond to anything. Help was useless. They had no idea what they were talking about. I eventually got an e-mail saying they were aware of the problem. People think I'm ignoring them.

    @harkl_ That’s Solana’s problem right now and probably the reason we’re witnessing the lowest organic activity I’ve ever seen. Normal users pay for the mistakes. I’ve always wondered why successful web2 eco systems, eBay, Amazon prioritise buyers (users) over sellers (builders) while blockchains adopt an inverse strategy

    @TheDumbTechGuy Fact check on the quoted post: Node.js launched in 2009. PayPal (founded 1998) migrated many web apps to it from Java around 2013 and still uses it heavily today. Netflix uses it for API gateways/BFF layers (core backend is mostly Java). LinkedIn used it for mobile servers. Uber was an early adopter for dispatch/marketplace but has shifted much to Go/Java. Walmart rebuilt its site with it. eBay built Node apps. Trello’s server is Node-based. Medium’s main app servers run on it. The list is directionally right—Node.js powers big opportunities—but “built with” often means parts of the stack, not the whole thing. It’s a solid, scalable choice.

    @cupcakecrypt On eBay, I don’t know any irl stores that would have any issues from before last year. But I also live in the poor part of America that doesn’t have any good stores

  • scruffycitytv
    Scruffy (@scruffycitytv) reported

    This is a great step forward @eBay! BUT, the biggest fix would be AUTO PAYMENTS. All that’s going to happen is what always happens. The buyer just ghosts. No responses or anything. Then it auto cancels the auction sale after 4 days and I’m back to listing it again. So it didn’t help much. Auto charging fixes everything and gets rid of shill bids as well.

    the problem isn’t a lack of long term projects it’s a culture that punishes short term attempts in every other industry people try, fail, pivot, and try again steam games etsy shops ebay sellers no one questions their morals for it but in crypto? a founder tries to make money fails and suddenly it’s not just a bad product it’s “they’re a bad person” that’s not accountability that’s character assassination i’m not saying you should blindly support everything but if people can’t even try to build, sell, or market without being labeled why would anyone serious stay here? people say the wrong things people make bad trades but turning every mistake into a moral judgment kills more builders than scams ever will this space was built to experiment to repeat to get it wrong and try again not to be perfect on the first try you don’t build strong ecosystems by punishing failure you build them by letting people improve

    @ElishaReavis @Calamondins1 @jaymart222 The problem in this example is that the landlord is not serving as Walmart in the circumstance. The average landlord is more like the dudes camping out at Walmart, buying up the Pokemon cards, and hoarding them to sell later on ebay - providing no service and driving up prices.

  • 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.

    @NinWire Scary situation with the example of the game keycard for Borderlands 4 on eBay that went up for sale. Someone bought and found it only returned an error code as nothing is on the cartridge. Obviously that game was cancelled but the cartridge was legit. Fate of all key cards.

    @WeebyRevy same but: - go to see marketplaces and flea markets - see a x game for $100... in questionable condition, but because it's “THE GAME” - go to eBay, and the same game is listed for $500 because it's sealed the problem is how they classified the original ones...
