bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedMy thoughts on eBay’s dividend program: $EBAY is sitting on $6.7B in gross debt, paying $61M/quarter in interest, and about to drop $1.2B cash on Depop. Yet management just declared another $0.31/share dividend (~$556M annualized), with tomorrow (May 29) as the ex-dividend date and cash going out June 12. Buffett said it best in his 1984 letter: “Unrestricted earnings should be retained only when there is a reasonable prospect that for every dollar retained by the corporation, at least one dollar of market value will be created for owners.” eBay is returning hundreds of millions to shareholders annually while simultaneously carrying nearly $7B in gross debt at $244M in annual interest charges. That capital could be paying down debt, shoring up the balance sheet ahead of a $1.2B acquisition close, or reinvested into a platform that is visibly losing competitive ground. Instead, the company is prioritizing optics over fundamentals. Active buyers grew just 1% YoY. The platform went down for ~48 hours in April after a cyberattack. The board quietly rewrote its own oversight committee charters after settling a federal cyberstalking criminal case. Sellers are now filing class action suits over surprise fee structures. A company with genuine earnings power and a clean balance sheet paying a dividend makes sense. A leveraged platform with stagnating user growth, mounting legal exposure, and a nine-figure acquisition pending doing the same deserves serious scrutiny.

M B (@checkem888) reported@BoilerPaulie If only all of you yapping on about eBay applied pressure to Cohen to deliver returns to gme investors we may not be in such a ****** position of 60% down since he took over

A Normal Mouse (@ANormalMouse) reported@fesshole I think the issue is that they are not "your" teeth. You just own them. Buying them off eBay makes it even weirder.

ronanonymous * (goose) (@sirronhale) reportedSo, eBay instituted AI into the eBay systems is what caused the outages this past month. It currently has the postage errors and EBay is not saying anything publicly. The AI description section is also causing some problems. Going to be an interesting summer @CardPurchaser
-
Bogdan F (@BogdanF172) reported@DreamcatcherDK @Tiggersdad2 @bluepill86 Again, really really slow this time. What cohen is proposing is to buy ebay out with leveraged money, taking a huge loan WHICH EBAY IS GONNA HAVE TO PAY OUT AFTERWARDS. In what world does that make any sort of sense to you people? Holy ****.

ctr (@CTRDoesStuff) reported@brndxix Oh sick free experience server gear in random people’s back yard, that shits gonna go hard on eBay

reecey rooster (@reecey_rooster) reported@Loserfruit amend the ebay customer code immediately and never use AI again to discriminate. My old boss said to me once, "Reece, You make once mistake, thats alright mate, but you make sure next time you never make the same mistake." fix your platforms immediately.

thatvirtualboy (@thatvirtualboy) reported@pokebeach Error eBay listings en route…

Leathlord337 (@Leathlord337) reportedXRT hammers down GME...but Ryan Cohen is buying eBay also in XRT...the same time that someone is hammering CHWY with 5,000 order blocks also in XRT. So without getting turned into a pretzel you refill XRT and use the GME shares on borrow. @MichaelTLoPiano

Altered Ego (@AlteredEgo0903) reported@GenePark It's a late adoption tax for a system that is having it's production ramped down. If it's now no longer worth buying, why were people spending $800 to get used ones of Ebay?
-
dbirdthagreat (@dbirdthagreat) reported@WestCoast_Goodz How do you even find products to sell on eBay outside of the items you have in your house. Thats the issue I’m having how to find products to sell on eBay

John Bumstead (@RDKLInc) reportedThe eBay "mass accidental shipping overpricing" event continues! Sellers accept incorrect default settings and unknowingly set USPS calculated shipping to $75-$200 for items that should ship for $20 via Fedex/UPS. None of these items are ever going to sell! Potentially millions of items. The damage caused is hard to calculate, but it's certainly severe. Yes, the shipping is technically correct for the incorrect size/weight that is a seller's default -- USPS is simply the wrong carrier for items of any size/weight, which they are unaware of. But instead of blaming thousands of sellers for getting the system wrong, how about eBay gets a clue and suggests an optimal shipping method? I.e. "Hey, before you proceed with that, UPS/Fedex would probably be a better option! And by the way, based on all the data we have on what you're selling, are you SURE it weights 50lb and is 20x20x24?" I mean, they are trusting AI in a million bizarre and inappropriate ways, so why are they afraid to use some intelligence to determine proper shipping? In the last 3 months, I have personally walked 50 sellers through switching their shipping to UPS/Fedex and correcting dimensions. But most will not listen and suspect that a helpful buyer is up to something. I only know all this because I am the odd person who scours eBay 3-5 hours a day. This is a big problem, and nobody even seems to be aware of it. Certainly eBay isn't. Either they don't know, or they don't care -- pick one.

Paul Babinski (@Paul_Babinski) reportedThe appeal, I think, is that it solves the problems associated with keeping a pencil on your pocket (I’m a big fan of the Kaweco Sport for the same reason). In any case, I’ve ordered some old ones on ebay. We’ll see if I can make them usable.
-
Jason Handyside (@devilhawk21) reported@mclong34 @CardPurchaser My issue is how @eBay handles the “items not received” rate. If a claim is opened by the buyer and I issue the refund, my seller status should not be impacted if the order was scanned in transit by USPS. Why is my seller status impacted for using the service provided by eBay??
-
Scott Wead (@Swead_Virginia) reported@eBay And the first thing that link does and ask you to sign it. How the heck are you supposed to sign in when someone has used your email address to create their account? It’s impossible to sign in and then there’s nowhere to go.
-
SussexbytheSea (@SussexGreen70) reported@itiscarlita @vinted Vinted is terrible. Had my business until they discriminated against people who are unable to go out and post items, rather than being collected from home by changing how you could post items. Weren't interested in anything I had to say. Went to ebay and it was the best move ever

Erik (@Fistfulent) reported@PWPNation @Topps @eBay I'm actually shocked it happens that often... Because as a seller they won't back you up at all when buyers are the problem
-
Bairon Blandon (@ba0495) reportedRyan criticizes eBay, yet $GME continues to decline and lose value. Maybe the real focus should be on creating value for GameStop shareholders before criticizing other companies. I am -40% down , thanks @ryancohen 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Keith Bacon | Sports Cards (@Keithbacon) reported@eBay @javadoodlestv Terrible customer service
-
🐧 (@penspenspens412) reported@RDKLInc Shipping on eBay is a big big problem. u are absolutely spot on. 1) Calc shipping is default setting. 2) they need to negotiate some kind of better rates. If you're shipping from a coast it's superrrr easy to get burned shipping to the other coast if you opt for free or fixed rt

dr.oduor (@droduor) reported@Farhanrj389 @eBay @Payoneer I got the same problem for like 3 months until I just gave up
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported@ValueAddedRS I sold an item, eBay 'simple delivery' lost it. Buyer needed it urgently so purchased elsewhere. Eventually found, I told him to reject it. eBay refused his refund request as delivered. I had to refund item + carriage+ buyer protection fee. eBay's problem but still got their fee!
-
katusha (@androgynous_boy) reported@uglybob0 He had an eBay store out of his home in Sylmar but still didn’t know how the mail worked But thought he was revolutionary It shocks me how ppl don’t understand how the ******* MAIL works The basics are not that complicated yet ppl gets PISSED when they’re told of their errors🤯
-
Alexia (@GunBrainedDyke) reported@lemonadepains Get a free non running lawn mower from Facebook marketplace, fix it for like $45 with YouTube tutorials and parts from eBay. Now you’re more skilled than the average oil change technician. Which are in high demand and pay well above min wage.
-
Boudleaux (@Boudleaux) reportedYou know what I hate, I hate buying things from Ebay, leaving the seller a great review and he (or she) doesn't bother reviewing me as a buyer. So my last review was sometime last year and I've bought at least 4 things since then and paid immediately. No issues, no problems. Sigh
-
sabes 👽🐧 #1 lano and woodley fan (@holidayroad_) reported@EVILMOLEMAN NOOOO is it broken ??! or the dock thing for it? :( might have to go on ebay if thats the case 💔 prayijg for u and ur switch bro
-
Topspin Assassin (@dankourny) reported@BoilerPaulie $ebay stock is up 78% over the last 5 years through today and $gme stock is down 52% over that same period. That is a staggeringly bad relative performance. No one other than current GME shareholders wants Cohen anywhere near EBAY.
-
Jake (@TwinsJake) reportedWell ****. Since I can’t really do much shipping with eBay having problems I might as well clean up and head to the bar. I don’t know what else to do.
-
Nicole (@nicolew76538921) reported@BetterDays47 @Venturinglist RC won't increase shareholder value; it only issues stocks. Why would eBay shareholders want it? Shareholders only look at stock prices
