    @clairecollects I sold a red dot error Blastoise for $15 on eBay about 15 years ago. Also sold a few pieces of Exodia to an online card shop around the same time period. Luckily, those are the only ones I’ve ever sold.

    FlipFlow. An AI agent that monitors competitor prices 24/7 and reprices your inventory across StockX, GOAT, eBay, Grailed while you sleep. Resellers manually reprice everything. That's the problem I'm solving.

    @MichelleMaxwell These kids are unreachable . They could care less about a bank loan. Loan & check cashing joints litter the hood on formerly burned down corners . These kids will steal to **** for easy cash on Ebay or whatever the App is that scoots around discovery. Car dealerships take cash

    @eBay needs to make customer service better accessible. This is ridiculous trying to speak to someone through the phone for multiple concerns and issues. Y’all need to do better on taking care of the good hearted sellers out there.

    Found some brand new tour issue heads from a 2018 model driver and FW wood on eBay for silly good pricing 👀 Tempted to order and build to test 8 year old tech vs brand new tech 🤔

    @CHARIcollector Gotta lock in on eBay listings. I’ve had an issue with carddealer pro that’s put listing in hold for the last month 😒

    @samuel_hayden_ Replicating serious work is fairly trivial on the hardware side once you go on eBay. But your dislike of Proxmox is a skill issue

    @Bob_Bingi45 @M46726805 @mrfundman It’s simple you can get a new module for a model S for $200 on eBay.. 9 times out of 10 if there’s a problem, it’s just with one of the modules and your back on the road.. do you realize that they have a eight year 150k mile warranty on the battery and powertrain?

    @Joferjeff I had an issue with ebay a year ago. They kept trying to charge me for transactions that never went through. I contacted the BBB and filed a complaint. Ebay backed down and zeroed out my debt.

    @greenstoslopes I had a guy this week buy a card, screen shot my listing and proceeded to (poorly) edit it to show a scratch in the corner requesting a cancellation.. He back tracked IMMEDIATELY as soon as I sent more pictures of his his terrible edit job, and he just said “my bad” 🙃 eBay sucks

    Might have to see how much issue one is on eBay. It's frustrating cause I'm trying to save for camera equipment and a new laptop but all these comics and games are releasing too

    @adamlf81 Actually, eBay is returning value to their shareholders by making their shares more valuable, Ebay also issues dividends. The eBay shareholders had voted on eBay‘s compensation package and this was one of the caveats, a stock grant. Moreover there are no naked shorts.

    @MykhailoRohoza The Mq9 is obsolete and already being replaced not that you would ever want to lose them but not like we could sell them on ebay they are to slow and predictable to survive modern warfare it entered service in 2007 19 years ago times have changed

    @MarioNawfal He knows he's talking to a bunch of pushy idiots who just want to sell stuff on ebay. Not a single real fan there. He kept his cool. I'd struggle not to absolutely despise such parasites, and it sounds like he's had problems with such people before.

  • PlentyOfPivots

    @brrrrrady @CardPurchaser I know absolutely nothing about how to get shipping costs down. I just use the default cheapest option on eBay for the package type. Please inform me on how you do cheaper shipping

    @spikesguides @disencabula42 Go eBay, buy an old pair of decent leather boots. Bring to your local cobbler and have them fix them the way you like them. Cobblers are making a come back.

    I have been a seller on @eBay for 12 years with thousands of sales, but I am officially done with them! I am a top rated seller with 100% positive feedback and have done everything right for my buyers. Problem is buyers are scamming sellers too easily now... They just dont care!

    @ryancohen I have no real opinion over this. But, I will say as a small scale developer who is trying to build an app that will push people towards eBay, the company's recent decisions to lock down all APIs and wall off app development (during an AI APP BOOM) is baffling.

    @zach_yadegari Most successful dropshippers are arbitraging a loophole and go well beyond "marketing". There was once this website BookDepository (since acquired by Amazon) that was offering worldwide "free shipping" but really just adjusting the price based on your IP location. Around 2010, I had an eBay store where I was dropshipping books everywhere in the world while buying them with a UK IP address. I needed 0 marketing: my prices were actually better than everyone on eBay. The platform itself was promoting me while I was also holding 0 inventory and taking a cut and I could barely keep up with orders. I was eventually shut down, these kind of schemes don't last. Don't actually do dropshipping lol it's more rewarding to actually build something new.

    @garyvee @gasfairy_eth @veefriends Is anyone else still having issues with rarible not pairing their Veefriends wallet with their account. I haven’t been able to buy any VF NFTs for a while. I also tried OpenSea and that also told me it couldn’t pair my account. I’ve also put up several things on eBay to start saving up for more comics and the 2026 Chrome release! #Topps #toppschrome

    Most issues with eBay purchases can be resolved by contacting the seller via eBay messages, this is not the end of the world #MyibidderTips

    @CardPurchaser Is anybody having issues with eBay compressing their photos. Recently the photo quality is poor.

    @ItsBitcoinBruh @greenstoslopes Not anymore. New policies. If they send an offer or a bid on a card, it’s now binding. You’re no longer obligated to accept their cancellation. Especially a card over $250 that goes to the authenticator. Once it’s authenticated, you’re covered. eBay is cracking down on all the shill bidding and sending offers just to see what price you’ll accept or how high the auction will go.

    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…

    Remember when sneaker culture was about hunting down rare pairs at local thrift shops or eBay instead of just paying 4x retail on an app? Good times.

    @gmac817 I rarely have any issues on eBay. I know im a relatively small seller compared to most though

    @UhFoxx I will note that prices ARE going down. A few days ago the average ebay listing was at like 110, so them going down to like 90 this quickly is a good sign!!!

    N.E.Will (@TheRealNickW86) reported

    @Michael_i_Leib @NFL1stLook @greenstoslopes It’s eBay that’s responsible for it after authentication though so it’s not an issue for the buyer. I’m starting to wonder why you’re simping so hard for ****** buyers?

    @LauraQueFala @mikasagrada Look on ebay, I just bought one for my son. It has no bluetooth or internet. Other than what you upload to it, the only other thing it can access is the radio. Instead of having his head down in the car with a nintendo, he listens to music and looks out the window.

    @mccartycards @eBay @UPS Where? Is it readily available for me to watch? If you’d like to shoot down any conspiracy theories this would be the way to do it. Still sounds like an empty box scam to me. 50k in mail🧐? Again, anyone can say anything but that does not make it true. The conspiracy continues.
