  • jabacards JabaCards (@jabacards) reported

    @frank_lubatti @Yasharkbos He’s debuting right now. Price will either be well higher in 2 hours or lower and I’ll adjust. Not sure where the hostility is coming from. If one did 120 on eBay and I’m offering 135 shipped all in we’re talking a few bucks. Not sure why everyone wants to cause issues. If you don’t want it don’t buy it. I’ve made a bunch of sales to people and usually send extras worth like 20% of the order as many can attest.

    @bbcsportscards @panini @CardPurchaser eBay 1 of 1! Custom zipper design! Limited parallel! (Stupid things we’ve all seen or read…sorry to hear you had QC issues- we’ve all been there)

  • jeffbar48902049 WeCallTrump (@jeffbar48902049) reported

    @LibertyCappy On eBay, only the price is refundable when an issue arrives, never the shipping.....

  • SconnEtradition Sconnie Tradition (@SconnEtradition) reported

    I've had a card I sold sitting at Ebay authentication since Sept. 8th. Is there really that much of a backlog? If not, what's the problem!

  • SecKing13 SecKing (@SecKing13) reported

    @TheRealCharnick @eBay @CardPurchaser Sorry man, Fed Ex is your answer if you buy from Canada. Zero issues and seems to be quicker. Always taking a chance with USPS, even if just domestic. USPS denied a package bc seller didn’t pay taxes. Mail first goes to USPS then Customs if more is owed Try FedEx. Good luck!

  • Ashallond Ashallond (@Ashallond) reported

    @mistercrisdafur @eBay I had an order cancelled because “problem with my address”

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @KayrabayY31599 @MirrorMoney @KevinPriceQ1 The Wowcher deal is for a refurbished 2013 iPad Air (16GB), starting at £49, claiming 72% off £175 RRP. Similar refurbished units sell for £50-£100 on Amazon/Backmarket/eBay, so the discount isn't unusually rare—it's common for old models. Value: Good for basics like browsing/Netflix, but outdated (no latest iOS support). Check reviews; some report delivery issues with Wowcher.

  • DavisMoodest NuclearBonfire (@DavisMoodest) reported

    @realMarshall73 @JunkWaxHeroes How much do the boxes usually go for? I know I can go to ebay, but what do you typically put down?

  • Time2Rip Time 2 Rip ⚾️ (@Time2Rip) reported

    @air_aj11 @CardPurchaser Cards are shipping in pennys sleeves and card savers or top loaders in PWE envelopes everyday. I shipped some out today and also received a card a bought today shipped that way. They will be fine. In the rare issue they are damaged is you are using eBay standard envelope they are insured so it’s covered By scanned I mean they go through the postal machines and get scans along their route. Basically your proof you shipped it. The larger rigid envelopes often don’t get scanned. I had more problems with no scans on non delivery claims when I used them.

  • DreemurrScott SCOTT DREEMURR the god of creation and destruction (@DreemurrScott) reported

    @eBay hey why is it that every time I buy a package from you guys the tracking is broken you’re one of the richest companies in the world and you for some reason you can’t give us tracking numbers this is unacceptable

  • JanetHalmshaw Indie, britpop and rock art by Paul Halmshaw. (@JanetHalmshaw) reported

    @Michael77996881 @HeavyMetal_999 Hi Michael I sell on ebay but there is a problem getting work through customs. They genrally sell for £65 plus postage in a limited edition signed copy, however I do a 3 for £99 plus postage offer direct on here. Cheers Paul.

    @14ChikaWham you're honestly missing out, there's a lot of really good games used consoles are pretty cheap on eBay, especially if you're just gonna pirate everything and are fine with a broken disc drive or you can just get a real wiimote and nunchuck, and use dolphin with Bluetooth

  • afleurdeluna Moon Flower (@afleurdeluna) reported

    @Etsy #Picstoral I spent 1 & 1/2 hrs setting up my acct. & trying to list an item only for the screen to jump back to the home page. Was I not fast enough for you? Too bad if I wasn't. I have health problems that makes me take a long time to complete tasks. I'm going to eBay.

  • illflavored Morgan Sveen (@illflavored) reported

    @BrewhouseInc @CardPurchaser This must have been Minnesota It should only apply to transactions OVER $100 (before sales tax) You might have a legit issue to bring up with eBay, I think it doesn't apply here.

  • bob_campbell_ Bob Campbell (@bob_campbell_) reported

    @Tbarr_3 @CardPurchaser @eBay adds 1 oz per card, which raises the ESE price. They need to fix that. You could get several cards in for 1 oz. You should be able to ask seller to refund excess postage.

  • ezellje318 Swoley P. (@ezellje318) reported

    @pokebeach I got spinning pokeball of death on checkout then blocked by error 17 and everything was OOS by the time I could get back in. Guess I can go to eBay and buy an etb for $400 though 💀

  • Time2Rip Time 2 Rip ⚾️ (@Time2Rip) reported

    @hfdaggie @CardPurchaser What is chitchat? Seller has to take it up with the carrier. Report it was not delivered. Problem is if it shows delivered eBay may side with the seller and you might have to work with eBay to get a refund from them.

  • PastPresentBall Jack (@PastPresentBall) reported

    Is eBay blocking views on listings if they aren’t promoted? I’ve been pretty consistent with sales since joining in 2023 but these last couple months have been a totally different story. I never promote listings and would get views no problem now I can’t even get views promoted

  • rezistcom 𝗿𝗲𝘇𝗶𝘀𝘁.𝗰𝗼𝗺 (@rezistcom) reported

    @DonalTDeLay 100 bucks on ebay... what's the last issue included?

  • ONWI_ONWI Tontor4 (@ONWI_ONWI) reported

    @pcgamer Playing every day since launch on a normal PS5. Literally no issues whatsoever The same people for years who have trolled console gamers and told them to “get a PC it solves everything,” are irate, and yet I solved the problem for a $300 machine I bought on Ebay

  • SweatyFlops SweatyFlops オーステン (@SweatyFlops) reported

    @Troydan This is a dream birthday gift in 2025. The further we get from this tech the harder it’s gonna be to find a crt tv that isn’t broken. I really want one of those 16x9 Sony CRT monitors that go for $10,000 on eBay lol

  • brock_kelley Brock Kelley (@brock_kelley) reported

    @switchstock Giving human customers (like me) an error 17 at checkout, just so I can lose out to people already selling this on eBay, is not “as good as a sign as anything”

  • FKDirect footballkitdirect (@FKDirect) reported

    @BirdyShirts Im quite sure i got that scotland shirts, not match issue But new with tags, About 20 years ago you could pick up 80’s shirts for £50 on ebay, so i used to buy them, barcelona, juventus from 80’s 90’s with tags etc

  • Whos_maks Maks (@Whos_maks) reported

    @Flipr_ai Seriously? "Find the best eBay deals" sounds cool, but what's next? Pricing! Another guy who wants money from me every month. Quit. Show customer value. What problem are you actually solving? Who is your product for? Individuals? Companies? Show them value. First, identify the pain point and then explain how you will solve it. Will it save their time? Money?

  • johnsonjr_john John Johnson (@johnsonjr_john) reported

    @bigwerms @CardPurchaser yeah I got in ebay jail because i had items post to auctions then canceled them. so my views tanked like crazy "below-standard" due to a technical error. Mercari has been my sweet spot. clearing 40-60 orders per week the past month.

  • RationalRap Ana Puig (@RationalRap) reported

    @eBay @AmericanExpress Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Customer Service & Payment Issues Dear eBay Customer Support, I am writing to express my frustration with eBay’s customer service support system and recent payment issues. First, reaching a live representative has been nearly impossible. The AI phone system disconnected me twice, and after finally finding another number, I was left on hold for over 20 minutes without any resolution. The lack of access to human support is unacceptable, especially when dealing with urgent issues. Second, I was shocked to discover that eBay no longer accepts American Express. Any company of eBay’s size that restricts widely used payment methods is not providing customers with the flexibility they deserve. I reluctantly used a MasterCard that I reserve for emergencies, only to later find out my payment was not processed. This failure caused unnecessary delays and left me without the item I urgently needed for a trip. Because of these issues—poor customer support access, restricted payment options, and unreliable payment processing—I have been forced to turn to other companies to complete my purchase. This experience has been deeply disappointing and undermines my confidence in eBay as a reliable platform.

  • thegauguy SuperGAU (@thegauguy) reported

    @JulianGoesPro Nah, found a power supply for that old laptop on eBay for less than 15 euros, which I bought. I guess I won't be able to get further than the login screen, but a quick Linux boot should fix it and I can access the files :). Really curious what's on the laptop.

  • GivnerAriel Ariel Givner (@GivnerAriel) reported

    There’s also a huge IP issue with this! Fun fact: eBay and Fanatics ban using their listings, images, or IP outside their platforms for commercial gain. If you’re screenshotting cards from those sites and pitching them as “prizes” in your own game, you’re violating their policies.

  • CardGuyDiscord Card Guy (@CardGuyDiscord) reported

    @mistercrisdafur @eBay Same thing with buyers canceling their orders when something drops in price. eBay needs a fix for both sides of the coin.

  • DasLandRoverMan Dave Marsh (@DasLandRoverMan) reported

    @djt81 @b4mbii93 Ebay? **** knows. It was more quoting an example. Fl2 with the 2.2 is a good option mind. Doing well to track down a Disco sport with a 2.2
