    @eBay @AskeBay wayyyyy too many notifications abouts orders now guys. every time I turn one off a new one is created. Please tone it down a little

  • eigenrobot eigenrobot (@eigenrobot) reported

    @nephew_jonathan @captgouda24 that was kinda local the ebay model for a while right? i assume there's a reason it didnt propagate, and why ebay somewhat weakened with the buy it now feature wrt planes, there are issues around heterogeneity inside planes, families flying together, etc makes it hard i think

    eBay, I swear to God, your customer service and your protection of sellers is right up there with Uber and their protection of drivers. I just sold a helmet that is a piggy make of Darth Vader. The people posted pictures saying that it was broken and eBay made me give them a full refund. The pictures they showed are not even the same helmet that I shipped them so they just took pictures of a random helmet and said it was broken and eBay made me refund them all the money. So not only did I lose $37. I had to pay for the shipping there that I lost and I also lost my item because they get to keep the good item. What they do is send pictures of an item they had that was broken and then they get the good item and they keep your money and they keep the item and eBay never does with the seller

    @ErikAndersWang @Top100Rick @gregglink That is exactly the problem, Rick. Of course the guy who makes money in the shop will want you to buy more stuff. The members are the ones who pay the price. Your club repped by randoms on eBay who don’t represent the values or ethos of the club. Devaluing is not good.

  • heavenlyf33t Foot soles that are heavenly 😇 (@heavenlyf33t) reported

    @DocStrangelove2 The one corporation I worked for didn’t really care. We couod take scrapped electronics and equipment that was sent out of system as long as it wasn’t ITAR. until a client’s PCB ended up on eBay. After that the trash bins were locked down

  • andrewjcarr29 Andrew Carr (@andrewjcarr29) reported

    @Top100Rick @Web_Golfs I think in here lies the problem "...not reselling it" I find it highly unlikely that much of this won't end up on @eBay When I go to some clubs I do buy a bunch for not only myself but also my friends and family, so it's not the volume per se.

  • Audi0Truther Audio⭕️Truther (@Audi0Truther) reported

    The sports card collectible market is up 145% since 2020. $OMI is down about 95% in that time period and NFT sales are down 70%. Walling off your platform further to alienate cash buyers and sellers isn’t logical. Imagine if eBay said you can sell your stuff here… but you can’t get paid without an elaborate song and dance. People wouldn’t bother. My total collectibles are down about 15% in value on this news. Maybe it’s coincidence. Maybe not.

  • KRamesez Hyperion X 🇺🇸 (@KRamesez) reported

    @colecash42 @MonarchDafey My drawing mentor gave me this, issue #212 and dozens of other comics in my late teens. I lost this comic but found it again for cheap on Ebay.

  • badguystreams John (@badguystreams) reported

    @WxScholl ~$40 on ebay to replace it. Plenty there. I have 2 with drive issues and 1 that works myself.

  • ShoBahuTCG ShoBahu OPTCG 🇵🇸 (@ShoBahuTCG) reported

    @acebunnytcg when People on ebay are lazy and don't pick up packages they ask for refunds. if the card never gets there they will often assume it's a shipping issue on the sellers end when they simply haven't picked up their package at the post office after a failed attempt to deliver

  • Jones03x Jonesy! (@Jones03x) reported

    @Laughtersavedme @KoreyBastian Yea it sounds like eBay made an error and the card was purchased before it could be taken down. I mean, $26 and $700 are very different numbers, not sure how the seller would accidentally mix those up. Sounds like this guy is just trying to take advantage of the situation

  • Bflores777 Wheat bread (@Bflores777) reported

    @KoreyBastian @Laughtersavedme I was curious and asked the seller. Which hopefully ebay can put in writing for full Transparency. Either way I understand your frustration but at the same time dragging a guy over a card you thought you hit the $500 resell lottery on is overkill whether it was a glitch or not.

  • Jones03x Jonesy! (@Jones03x) reported

    @Laughtersavedme @KoreyBastian I think you’re misunderstanding, this card wasn’t auctioned and ended lower. It appears eBay listed it incorrectly, the card was auto binned, and eBay stated the issue was on their end not the seller?

  • Shiggie02 Ryan🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Shiggie02) reported

    @KensethFan17_20 At what point does it just become cheaper to import a clean commodore from down under and just buy Pontiac bits off eBay and junkyards

  • goodwitchSL lychee (@goodwitchSL) reported

    @horrorzangel @pvppyfangg Exactly same, you get it!! I've been buying older ipods/ipod classic without any issues off of ebay! I'll try to find somoene who refurbishes stuff or jailbreaks tbh- that case I could probably get a Vita and download PSP games I guess?

  • Lovelistening1 irene randall (@Lovelistening1) reported

  • artschooldrop pigeonfood (@artschooldrop) reported

    omic shop owners: well this issue is selling for $100 on eBay so im gonna charge you a $100 as well me: yes but no one has bought it at a $100 and that listings been up for months comic shop owner: yes but you see it COULD sell for $100

  • BasedCardGuy Cards for Sale 😎 (@BasedCardGuy) reported

    @MattGamblesOTC @eBay $70-$100 i’d hold that tho cause no one knows who he is yet could have more value down the road

  • artschooldrop pigeonfood (@artschooldrop) reported

    comic shop owners: well this issue is selling for $100 on eBay so it’s $100 me: yes but no one has bought it at a $100 and that listings been up for months comic shop owner: yes but you see it COULD sell for $100

  • CorranHorn15 Randford Krones (@CorranHorn15) reported

    @BrettBarkley @dctvcinema_ @DCOfficial Yeah, I wonder what issue it was on. I can't find it on ebay.

  • Cuntfagulous Kieran Valentine (@Cuntfagulous) reported

    I think my eBay’s broken. The Australian only filter still shows American listings

  • dvickgaming Dylan (@dvickgaming) reported

    @indycarcards I’ve sent out and received both, EBay tracking service for PWE has been very inaccurate lately, obviously anecdotal but curious if anyone else is having that problem. I’ll get a delivery notification days before it arrives or never at all. Locally scanning is hit or miss.

  • sturat42 Stuart Housden (@sturat42) reported

    I purchased the EBAY November Debit Spread: BTO: EBAY Nov 2025 $85.00 Call STO: EBAY Nov 2025 $90.00 Call for $4.20 NOTE: This was an error; it should have been for $4.15 or less: I don't know whether the spread can be purchased at that price.

  • BosnianBH Bosnian (@BosnianBH) reported

    @allrisesomefri1 @PokemonDealsTCG Dang, that be rough, I use platinum protectors, I get it on eBay, it’s like $2.30 or so before tax. I haven’t had issues with them

  • DustyShelfs Dusty Shelfs (@DustyShelfs) reported

    @KaseysCards Should probably list it on eBay as an error 1/1

  • Bflores777 Wheat bread (@Bflores777) reported

    @Laughtersavedme @KoreyBastian He didn’t auction it. eBay themselves actually recognized it was a glitch on their end. He went to price it and eBay has a mobile glitch which is ******. And it got priced at $26.

  • WWEisEvil Lucha Macho🧀 (@WWEisEvil) reported

    @CollectMajor @thefigheel At least I seen your figures for 50$ on eBay your shipping is so slow.

  • KSOCards KSOCards (@KSOCards) reported

    Basically eBay puts us on hold as they “investigate” What is there to investigate? Someone made purchases, we shipped them out, they received them. Then 30+ days after delivery they claim they didn’t make these purchases so our funds go on hold? @eBay needs to fix their ****

  • biohacker Biohacker (@biohacker) reported

    '90% of supplements don't work' Where you buying them from brother? 'Ebay and some Chinese guy who lives down the street' I think i've found out why

  • NoeyLew Noey (@NoeyLew) reported

    @sungiequokka Is very cute. Where can you find it still for sale that’s not eBay and super expensive. Or is that the problem?
