In February 2007, after Britney Spears shaved all of her hair off in a Los Angeles salon, it was listed on eBay for US$1M before the listing was taken down.

@carkid_jump23 @SneakerPhetish I had some issues with eBay but I honestly only have used them 3 times. I like that i can see pics (very helpful when hunting old grails) but I always find the prices more expensive. GOAT is not very good, I really wanna stop using them.

@DevGrabr @eBay @ebaysneakers Go to your credit card company or if you used paypal dispute through paypal. Get them to fight ebay for you. Usually once that happens they back down and just issue a refund. Sometimes you even get to keep the shoe.

@EdwardAdoo I once knew a person who got fed up with eBay UK customer service; he went on to search for an American telephone number for eBay US customer service and used Skype to contact them without charge. Then eBay's US customer service solved his issues right away.

@RipCityDuck @CardPurchaser You’re good. I had one like this- didn’t refund and they never responded when I asked questions. eBay closed it in my favor. If they push the issue, then you can refund and file a PIP.

Hello @eBay You're "Ask us to step in" facility has not been working all day - error "Oops we had a technical hiccup. Please try again later". Can you advise when this will be restored as it is currently impossible to escalate an open Case Issue? Many thanks.

I've been revising my home lab and eBay has been a Godsend here. Practically anything is available for the cluster hobbyist. I now have a better server than we used for a 1-billion transaction per day financial platform. Possibly by an order of magnitude. For less than $1500.

@sentientist @ASFleischman Why doesn’t rating work on Amazon? Is it (1) the cost of identity? (Harder to start new store on eBay); (2) the problems with the rating system on Amazon? (Buy and ship product for a real person who didn’t order it and rate it as if they had); or (3) something magic about eBay?

@kellykel1983 @CardPurchaser FWIW The red and green rated rookies are going for a decent amount, typically 5-15$ on eBay right now. Surely they’ll come down in price the more these boxes get ripped

@AskeBay @eBay The eBay site is obviously down and has been for over 30 days now. Customers can not see items for sale or buy them. Numbers across everything in Seller Hub has dropped 25% OVERNIGHT and remained there since! EBay use to be a great place, now it's barely alive! SAD

@JinnySkeans ? think so.., remnants of that may well be the problem, can the trackpad and buttons be removed fairly easily(have your ever dismantled it?)? may be able to clean it with isopropyl alcohol, or get a new or good used trackpad assembly from an ebay seller?,

@blindwray Nothing going on right now is due to the ebay acquisition. Tcg has been horrible for a long time. We have been fighting them about the same issues for years and they have ignored us. Things came to a head this week when TCG decided to make moves to stifle competition 1/2

U think I don’t have access to TCGPlayer and PriceCharting at the tips of my fingers?? U think I haven’t checked eBay sold comps?? I have ran this exact scenario through my trading card simulator numerous times and I know every possible equal trade value down to the last decimal

@dwdrayton1 Looking it up on ebay it doesn’t seem like it does lol! Nice since that was one of my main reasons for talking down the price XD I think early 3DS games do because Star Fox 64 3D has one, but yeah later games no so much :(

@doaenel One time an elderly man fell down in front of me and dropped his cane. Of course, he asked for help so I bent down and picked it up. I then proceeded to beat **** out of him with the cane and sold it on ebay for £15. Too ez

@OG_Triquivijate There is a much longer story to this. I was looking for ideas for sites like Ebay or Marketplace that I can check to see if I track it down.

Dual Threat Sports Cards & Gear
(@DualThreatSC) reported
@BnsBreaks Okay but I’m always looking for the cleanest raw cards no one wants to buy something they have trouble getting rid of again if they wanted to because it’s got wear or anything. Then slab wise if it’s psa authenticated why does it need to be eBay authenticated really?

(@AndrewBVCU) reported
@tabby_laz @CardPurchaser Yes but with a non payer and then someone bidding it up I just said F it and listed it BIN. The problem is Ebay charged me the fee of ending it early on the cancelled $80 bid. It was at $2.25 after the bids were cancelled. I work out of town and rarely do auctions. So much BS

Due to us being at PAX East, and needing to prep for Anime Boston, we will be shutting down our stores. Our eBay store will be shutting down for a few weeks, but out Mercari store will remain open longer, but will be closed longer to allow us to perform inventory management

@Asagron Yeah, this was from a business that exists off ebay so I thought it might be OK - my returns has already been accepted so I'm not gonna shame them. 30 series cards are still at inflated prices tbh, and I don't see the price coming down before stocks run out.
