    @RichardC74991 @CARL0STHEGAMER @LewisJFC If you're patient you can get some good deals, especially if you buy bundles. Usual eBay average range from £10-20 though with some of the earlier issues being more expensive.

    @CollectorCards2 The skeptic in me tells me that this was on purpose and only meant to drive business to your eBay account. Can you provide screenshots of eBay not allowing you to shut it down?

    I really can’t believe these people are charging 30+ just for a vogue France cover and an interview magazine issue on eBay.

    @jayiscoollllll @ADRWC The marketing made it clear that sitting down was supposed to trigger the giggle. Parents already had the toy removed and replaced by the company. Lol so people who own one now had to have either chose to keep it when the company offered replacements or bought it on eBay on purpose

    Robinhood is worth $68 billion. Coinbase is worth $50 billion. The gap isn't explained by brand spend or ad creative. It's explained by product architecture.⁣ ⁣ Robinhood stacked 11 business lines that each generate over $100 million a year. 5% cash back on their Platinum card. Crypto rewards. Premium tiers. Each product pulls users deeper into the ecosystem and makes switching feel expensive.⁣ ⁣ That's not a marketing strategy. That's a retention strategy disguised as a marketing strategy.⁣ ⁣ Most operators think about growth as a media problem. More ads, better SEO, smarter email sequences. And those things matter. But if your product isn't doing the heavy lifting, you're renting growth instead of owning it.⁣ ⁣ eBay is the cautionary tale here. They spent $2.5 billion on sales and marketing to acquire roughly one million new users. At some point the extra dollar stops working. Diminishing returns aren't a media buying problem, they're a product problem.⁣ ⁣ The Robinhood playbook is simple in theory and hard in practice. Do more for the customer at a better price, and the marketing gets easier over time.⁣ ⁣ If you're running an agency or a services business, you don't need ten offerings on day one. But when you feel the ceiling on your core service, that's the signal to expand. One adjacent service, cross-sold to people who already trust you, compounds faster than any ad campaign you'll ever run.

    @AlimamyBan69781 @Adikastakes Those are physical “optional” products you’re talking about. The product I’m talking about are problem-solving, “necessary products”. Do you know what eBay is worth, before they could acquire PayPal (payment product) for $1.5b? 📌 The word “product” is vast… not limited to Tesla and designer handbags (necessary but optional items). 📌 Google types of products with examples… you’ll get my point.

    @Itsfoss Works ok here in firefox and chromium-ungoogled. If I'm gonna get blocked by a site, most of the time it's when I'm using ff. (even got a phone call from ebay once because of it) I didn't have an issue.

    @eBay How can you justify telling a customer to wait 49 DAYS before taking action vs a seller who won't ship, refuses to refund and won't reply to messages? Where have your standards gone? Ebay should issue an immediate refund.

    @thequannnic I found that first one on eBay for 40$ in a lot of broken or fodder figures, but the spidey was near perfect condition. My first one I had as a kid was eaten by my dog ::(

    I believe international messaging is down or playing up on eBay… I was due to receive messages off of a regular client and I’ve heard nothing. Now today another customer has messaged me completely oblivious to the fact that I sent them a message and I’ve replied to them immediately with a question and nothing back in return…

    @thasminlover considering the costs would need to be under £10pp for them to not lose money I would have been surprised if they spent extra money on the shipping rather than creating the card itself + with the customs issues they were probably just as gagged to see it on eBay as we were 😭.

    Hey @ebay remove the shipping cost review feature from reviews. We have no control over postage cost and getting review dings because someone agreed to pay it but then complained is BS. @ryancohen please make that a fix in your first 100 days. @CardPurchaser

    @Ebay ripped me off and wouldn't issue a refund for items I never received. Not good like they used to be. #Ebay #onlineBuying

  • MikeDeGilio

    Following up on this. Despite @eBay refusing to do anything for the infinite people affected by this, you can and should go through paypal or file a chargeback with your credit card. Ebay said it's impossible to return it and refused any reasonable refund. Paypal/CC will force them to accept the return for a full refund if you provide photo evidence of receiving what you purchased damaged. Forcefully, get your money back from this trash company. Also, the return address is @PSAcard. Absolutely embarrassing that a company that specializes in the card market for 30+ years lacks even a basic understanding of how to ship a card so it doesn't get mangled. 6+ months ago they acknowledged this is an issue and would be changing packaging and still nothing has been done. Criminal levels of negligence and zero accountability unless they're forced. Change will come when we stop allowing them to say "I understand we damaged the card but I still think it'll get a PSA7, so it's exactly what you ordered" and force full refunds on every single bit of value lost due to their incompetence.

    Ross Johnson: "I found this great 5Core 48” DJ speaker stand tripod on ebay to use with my JPC-12 antenna. For $21 including shipping and tax, the light gauge steel tubing (about 5lbs total) is quite stable and durable. Yes, some of the parts are plastic and probably would not stand up to a 50mph dive off the back of a pickup, but it seems pretty capable of delivering good service as an affordable field stand… folds down to about 28”, extends to 54”. I had to drill a hole in the provided top plate to run a 10mm bolt up through my counterpoise disk and into the antenna base, but that was the extent of the mod’s. I set it up with my G90 in the backyard and added 4 counterpoise wires out to tent stakes. It was a quick stable setup and the 10-15mph wind had no effect at all. The best QSO of the day with stand fulling extended was well over 1300mi… Connecticut to Kansas, 5-9 on 20 watts. It will definitely have a home in the POTA activation kit stored in my pickup."

    Ebay used to talk about how the sign in / register buttons confused people so they had to change their wording.

    @CallMadRabbit Hi, sorry to hear and you're not the only one. We've seen 2 others with similar experiences. Unsure if this is isolated or not. Granted, this issue and whatnot/ebay issues are things our site is trying to stop! Please check us out, list, bid and control your own payment!

    @TW0HEADEDBEAST You're incorrect. I can still get every part i need on a near 30nyear old subaru. Admittedly sometimes I have to resort to a salvage yard or ebay but its still doable. Don't buy the one with an obvious gonna **** out issue unless youre prepared to fix it immediately.

    @SmallCapBob2 @ryancohen ebay is so broken im building a search engine on top to find items i actually want and to remove all the scam listings and garbage also this is why a lot of people do not ship internationally, a lot of scammers. items dont go through authentication pass for international and scammers know this so its much easier for them to essentially steal your card or lie
