JB Prikzer's double chin (@JOEY94742474) reported@alt_w_v_g I have sold on Ebay, I am tapering my inventory down to zero. I am done, High fees, the way they lump postage costs into your sale... china selling junk at prices lower (including postage) than anyone in the US can ship it for, no money to be made there for the little guy.

Alan of TesCalendar 📆⚡️ (@TesCalendar1) reported@Zafir88538734 @ChadMoran In December I had to get my Tesla roof replaced, new 12V battery, and I did the CCS retrofit. That was $1800. I also broke my taillight on my Lightning that month so I needed a replacement taillight and VIN matched blind spot sensor. I bought both off of eBay for way less than new and Ford re-programmed for around $100. Before all of this they offered to troubleshoot the issue (I was pretty sure the issue was the sensor) for a reasonable price but I opted out and decided to gamble on a used sensor. Point being, they were really good and reasonable to work with and helped me fix my issue for a fraction of new cost. Not apples to apples, but Ford has also picked my truck up and brought it back for my 2 warranty repairs and this. For Tesla, I have to drive 2 hours each way for any repair. It’s been a hassle and enough to make me not want to deal with it anymore.

that nerd 😼 (@spokenclaw) reported@knifedog7 I don't shop much online, so it really comes down to the specific thing I'm looking for. Most often amazon sometimes Ebay, or just some store for the specific thing I don't really do like online shopping for stuff I could just get in the city

creenpa🎤🇺🇸🎸🍀 (@creenbir) reported@PeterRHann1 Is this the Kansas City shuffle? If GME moons, he won’t need to issue shares to buy eBay? Does he exercise eBay options and buy something else? Or does he push through the eBay purchase as stated?
-
🙌 N E I L 🙌 (@Neilz1) reportedIs the #ebay app down?

Brett Boyer 🇺🇸 (@BrettHBoyer) reported.@ryancohen exposed @ebay’s management as lazy corporate leeches. It’s a shame to watch an internet pioneer get dragged down by old Wall Street tactics. $GME $EBAY

gosu ✧˖° (@gosumustdie) reported@suaportas tai throws their hair into a messy bun and goes down the stairs to find out jweb sold them to cam on ebay for money!

fity.eth (@Fityeth) reported@NetAxisGroup If eBay is really worth fixing for 55B, the problem might not be the platform… it might be the people rejecting the check.
-
cryptobruh (@insidebus1ness) reported@GregIsKitty Maybe he knew eBay runs post acquisition rejection, then sell the shares for a tidy profit, release some big news from GME to pump stock just as eBay falls back down, rebuy shares with the previous monies plus the extra profit - lands at 15% ownership, eBay $98 + GME at $40

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?
-
Wallstreet Trader (@WallstreetTra13) reported@Comedyorwat its so obvious because ebay knows gme is gonna pay up for ebay higher than where ebay is trading. ebay goes up, gme goes down that simple.
-
Weapon💫 (@rWeapon_) reported@JunkWaxJblack @CardPurchaser Happened a couple times to me, eBay covers the cost of the item if less than $20. just don’t refund the buyer right away.. eBay will issue the refund then you can request payment via the insurance they offer
-
Regular Degular (@Sixer7deadboy) reported@Daveforthelawl @DesirableTruth Unless he got swagger... I dated a psychologist and I was a drug dealer which is way worse. She thought I just sold **** on eBay and her friends wanted me too. It's all about the man.. has nothing to do with her preferences.. especially if you **** her down and change them.

Stonks and Cards (@stonksandcards) reportedGot a message this morning from a buyer reporting an issue on a high end item I had at auction last night re: not being able to bid. I reach out to ebay to see what I can do. “Cancel the sale and block the buyer to avoid negative feedback.” Paraphrasing a bit here BUT WTF
-
FeistyG0at (@ArlichV0malites) reported@Todney_Ruxedo Yeah dude my phone fully dipped out. No banking, no ebay, no x. Here goes another $1000 down the toilet
-
Millard Craft (@CraftMillard) reported@MorgenHatton @eBay @ryancohen Ebays current path is doubling stock over last year Gme spiraling down You guys are sick and deluded if you think shareholders want any part of the dead train wreck known as $gme
-
Ron Berkowitz (@CSWakka) reported@ryeandbitters “If they wanted him, they’d just hire him” That statement right there is the issue with your claim. RC had explicitly stated his intention is to own eBay and clean house. Why would he want to be hired and subjected to the same board he wants to remove? Better to be an owner

Angela Beegle (aka chotii) ☕ (@chotiari) reported@alt_w_v_g @soylentbeige I've been selling on eBay for 20 years. Recently, I had some sales that I could not follow through one. In one case an item had gotten broken in storage, in another I simply couldn't find it. I let the buyers know I canceled the sales. The buyers were fine with it. But eBay's algorithm punishes me. My fees are 30% higher and my visibility is down. I've been threatened that if I don't improve my transaction defect rate, I may be banned. But since my visibility has been throttled, people can't find me. And I can't force people to buy, especially if they can't even find me. I literally have no way to improve my transaction, defect rate except by making sales without any errors. And I can't make sales. Congratulations eBay, you may be driving me off after 20 years

Gameshire Hathoway (@JamesDrgme) reported@sneedweb Brian isn’t mad. He’s just being told what to say. It’s a big family and they all play a part. When Ryan grows eBay 10 fold ( not hard just patience ) Wall Street will say we got caught with our pants down. Retail won in 2021. Nothing has changed. It’s just leadership n time
-
Sobriquet (@sobriquet42) reported@alphafox I hadn't used it in over a decade until this past month when I needed an obscure ceiling fan part. I signed up. I got my part, it worked, no issue. 2 weeks later I got an email that ebay has permanently banned my account for suspicious activity. What? Why? What a joke.
-
Mad Overlord Studios (@Mad__Overlord) reportedThe problem is, If I don't want to use ebay to sell books, hand made blankets, toys ehatever... Where do you go? Is anywhere else even half as popular?
-
Cam Van™ (@lowclassyuppie) reported@owenbroadcast I joked about eBay being broken and some dweeb hopped into my replies with "UMMM ACTUALLY THEY WERE HACKED, IDIOT!"
-
Ryan Davis (@RyanBadryan1001) reported@Whatnot was good it's turning into a trash app. I've sold over a 100000 things on there. I had a problem with one person that customer service said was fine andI shouldn't problem then my automatic payments get shut off. I am done on that app. I will sell on eBay
-
Shannon Faas (@faas_shannon) reported@tm1515152005 Im trying to find the sweet spot myself at first I was promoting at what ebay recommends and I was selling steady I just switched to 2-6% and sales seem to have slowed down hopefully I figure out the sweet spot soon
-
ryevermouthbitters 🇺🇦 (@ryeandbitters) reported@foxenflask Yeah, that's the thing. When RC was doing his EPS computations, he left out the interest on $20 billion of new debt. EPS would go down even after the expense cuts. Which again, eBay could do itself if it wanted. Why would those tutes want Gamestop in the mix?
-
whatever (@macncheetos) reported@alt_w_v_g I still sell stuff on ebay. I'm not a big company. I don't pay anything extra on top of standard fees. I have no issues. You and RC are yelling at clouds while ebay grows revs, does buybacks, pays dividends, gme shrinks revs, dilutes, charges for a dividend
-
Maddie Hatter (@HatterMaddie17) reported@MindandEmotion7 @ryancohen I sold a brand new Disney LoungeFly backpack on there about a month ago. I had bought it at a 40% discount and they weren’t making them anymore, so I thought I’d make a quick buck selling it on eBay. After eBay took out all the fees, I made a little over $4. It wasn’t even worth my gas to take it to the post office! I decided I wouldn’t go through the trouble again, but if RC makes some changes to make it more lucrative for sellers, I’d consider doing it again.

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reportedInteresting..."Fulfillment by eBay" has been tried several times before & failed - mostly because they were too focused on trying to chase Amazon/replicate FBA but with 3rd party partners, which was a mistake. There are certainly some categories/types of sellers who could benefit from an eBay version but by & large it's not something I see many sellers clamoring for today. Currently eBay is focused on making shipping another revenue path - for example, mandating C2C sellers in UK & Australia to use on-platform purchased labels where eBay pockets whatever discounts they might have in rates. Personally, I'd like to see eBay first focus on negotiating better rates and/or sharing more of the discounts they already have to help bring costs down & drive more sales long-term for those already doing their own fulfillment. But that doesn't mean some kind of FBE offering couldn't make sense or be valuable for at least some segment of the seller-base - if it's done with actual seller needs in mind rather than being designed as just another fee trap.

mikekevell84 (@mikekevell84) reported@yhessagonzales @PhantomBlack699 @eBay Ebay shareholders are the only ones to make money in the last month. Their stock is up. Ours is down.

David Carbutt (@DavidCarbutt_) reportedBefore YouTube I tried everything to make some extra money. Dropshipping. DJing nightclubs. Running events. Selling stickers. Amazon-to-eBay arbitrage. Every one of them had the same problems: Big upfront costs, capped upside, low margins, or all three. YouTube doesn't. Almost zero upfront. You can pour unlimited time in, when it suits you. There's a proven path from zero to regular income. And it can be built on the side of a full-time job, which is exactly what I did. Every other thing I tried had a ceiling. YouTube didn't. If you want to give this a try, I've put what I know into a course. Follow + comment 'YouTube' below for more info.
