K 🇺🇸 (@klovsch) reported@dkmitc Isn't there a new foldable screen phone coming out? Also you can either change the battery or pay someone to change the battery. My iPhone succession: 4, 5, 7, 14, 17. The seven was almost unable before I upgraded to the 14. I only upgraded to the 17 because it literally didn’t cost me anything. batteries are so easy to replace you. Just buy the little tool kit and get them off eBay and he needs probably about a half hour 45 minutes, if you are slow.

A͛s͛h͛ ⚔ (@babe_whatswrong) reported@sax_n_violets Some repair shops exist that could fix it. You could DIY it and buy the parts, learning to solder is tricky. You could ship it out and have someone fix it for you OR you could just buy a refurbished/new unit on eBay with some mods already installed in it.

kwii (@kwiikas) reportedI had all my old merch saved in the attic so that wasn't a big problem, but what I asked for Christmas in '17 was a big TM lot on Ebay, which we won it. That really kickstarted something and it's been fun ever since.

titterboy (@titterboy2) reported@eBay What makes you think your webform will work now? He had no reply. Just apply again. I'm not going to waste my time on your broken webform. So I'm no longer a seller on @ebay. They don't hold a monopoly for online auctions anymore. There are other auction sites. 2/2

Tom Grady (@TomGradyxici) reported@TonyClimate @eBay lie. I buy ALOT on ebay and have NEVER had trouble getting ahold of them. Several refunds. Several gift cards sent my way. Several account credits. Never had an issue. One time product came not as described. They refunded me and let me keep the product. Dont lie on @eBay

John P Jones (@Relics_05141971) reported@TonyClimate @eBay I've never had an issue getting a refund through @eBay I've doing business and buying items for decades through eBay. Their process can take sone time but follow through with their steps, report that you never received the item, and they will refund you.

kenshin (@0xkensh1n) reportedYOU WON: your auction estimate was probably the biggest error Yale applauded a student who paid $5 for $2.07 in coins. After learning why that happened, the next winner still paid $1.60 for $1.48. 9:20 real-cash jar auction begins 15:35 $5 bid meets $2.07 in coins 24:51 why winning oil firms kept losing money 40:38 class repeats the mistake after the lesson 56:30 eBay rule that makes honest bidding dominant Ben Polak runs the experiment inside Yale's Game Theory Lecture 24, Asymmetric Information: Auctions and the Winner's Curse. The 62-minute class is free and public through Open Yale Courses. The mechanism is brutal: every bidder observes true value plus some error. The winner is not necessarily the best analyst. It is often the person with the largest positive error. That is why adding bidders can make the winning price less informative. Competition selects the most optimistic estimate, then makes optimism look like conviction. Before bidding on an acquisition, hire, ad placement, or contract, ask: if this offer wins, what must everyone else believe that I do not? Then reprice the deal under that condition. Cut the forecast, add integration and fulfillment cost, and set the walk-away price before the room gets competitive. Winning only proves your bid was highest. Polak's jar shows why it may also prove your estimate was worst.

Eephus Collects (@EephusCollects) reportedReached out to two Sellers this week on #eBay as I noticed obvious errors with the players listed vs. the actual players on the card. Both Sellers were thankful and I was happy to help out. IMO: The Hobby is better if we give grace and are kind to each other.

mars ➡️ 1000 Years in the Pain Cube (@catboiardee) reportedHey @ebay, how do I contact a supervisor or have your agents actually listen to me and escalate an issue? I already used your contact me page. The agents are sending me generic emails and flat out lying to me instead of helping me.

Jay Phillip (@JayPhillip_) reported@TonyClimate @eBay I sold a $25 item and they refused to pay because I hadn't given them my SS#. They said it was in their updated terms. They send messages for everything but the important stuff. It's been 2 years, they still have the $25, but I took all my listings down. Garbage site.

RO@D (@R0ADKILL333) reported$GME MANAGEMENT MONETIZING STOCK VOLATILITY 2024 10-K / Shortly following earnings and a strong stock rally into the upper 20's, an announcement of their first round of convertible notes was made, causing a 25 basis point drop to the lower 20's. 2025 Q1 / Coming from a strong recovery of prior news, the stock remained in the 30's but shortly following earnings, a second round of convertible notes was announced, causing a subsequent ~25 basis point drop to the lower 20's. A repeating pattern to issue convertibles once stock hovers lower 30's to subdue it to the lower 20's. 2025 Q2 / The same day of earnings management announced the distribution of warrants. This time around the stock saw a temporary rise to the high 27's, and subsequently retracted back down to the infamous lower 20's. If said warrants expire worthless this costed management an estimated ~$100M per 2025 Q3 Statement of Cash Flows. "They only convert at a premium. Um and so, you know, we've done these convertible notes at a 30% plus premium" Cohen, July 2025 8/3/26 GameStop announced exchange of said convertible notes for stock, at an expected VWAP window pricing of $19/share. This announcement occurred as the stock traded sideways in the infamous lower 20's, causing a 15 basis point drop to the mid 18's, not seen since Q1 of 2024. Not being close to the agreed conversion price stated on said terms. 7/7/26 Share authorization passed, giving them the ability to authorize up to 2.5 BILLION shares. 8/12/2026 Speculation surrounds whether Cohen will pull his eBay proposal bid. eBay stock saw a 4% drop. Management has no doubt done a stellar job at GameStop, via its outstanding operating income turnaround despite significant reductions in its store count. The next stage could prove more difficult, especially with managements eagerness to raise capital. This has slowly soured some of the retail shareholder base approval. Continuing to watch and re-structure my thinking pending any further actions that could occur.

Dram McCloudigan (@dreamcloudigan) reported@DeanAndrew21454 @ryancohen eBay turned down the offer calling it not credible. My guess is options are printing. GameStop is a fully operational hedge fund you know. And you know who GameStop hired? The goddamn best
-
Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reported@brawn828 @gamestop Dude look at the price right now. I predicted during this VWAP period, cohen would start to escalate. From what we are seeing, first week he didn’t do anything just the VWAP announcement. This week RUMOUR of him shifting his approach but still undecided. EBay is down around $100 level. We know the catalyst around earnings is coming, so seems like he is going to hammer eBay down as much as possible before he makes his move.

Chad Geinzworth 🪶 (@Chad_Geinzworth) reported@MarioNawfal Can't the kids just buy a cheap used phone off ebay and give them that phone, while they keep their real phone in their backpack. I'm assuming they aren't searching them down.

Mike (@MicLine23) reported@TonyClimate @eBay I’ve had several issues in the past, just type in call agent or call eBay and the number will pop up or they will call you. I’ve been able to speak with someone every time and they were able to help me make it right

KillTheCan - Quit Smokeless Tobacco and Nicotine (@killthecanorg) reported@TonyClimate @eBay ebay has gone WAY down hill in recent years... sadly, this sort of thing happens OFTEN. I've been looking for ebay alternatives for a while now... Hope you're able to get resolution.

☩ Pilgrim ☩ 🇻🇦 (@TheRealSethDer1) reported@TonyClimate @eBay This whole issue is a big fat nothingburger. Talking to someone wouldn’t change the outcome or speed it up in any meaningful way. For a closed-account non-delivery case, I'd much rather have automated processes in place that resolve the issue in a matter of days than have to talk to some call center drone reading from a script. I mean, seriously, what are you whining about getting 'straightened out'? You go into your purchase history, wait until the estimated delivery date has passed, open an “Item not received” request, and the system handles the rest. Because the seller’s account is already closed or restricted, they can’t respond, the case times out in the buyer’s favor, and eBay issues the refund. No phone call, no chat agent, no special escalation is required. That’s how the Money Back Guarantee is built to scale. What am I missing?

Rio Mason (@riomason2die44) reportedA Yale class that costs $86,000 a year is the reason Google, eBay, and every ad exchange on earth can price you perfectly. Yale posted it for free in 2008. Millions watched. Almost nobody used it. The professor is Ben Polak — Yale's former Provost, and one of the most-watched lecturers on the internet. His course, ECON 159: Game Theory, breaks down into a handful of ideas quietly running every market you touch. Dominant strategies. If one move wins no matter what your opponent does, take it. Everything else in game theory exists because this almost never happens. Nash equilibria. The point where nobody can do better by moving alone. Every wage, every auction bid, every market price you've ever seen is one. Auction design. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction. eBay is English ascending. Treasury bills are Dutch descending. Same math, different formats — each one extracts a different amount of money from you depending on which one you're in. Tit-for-tat. In Robert Axelrod's 1980 tournament, the simplest strategy on earth beat every complex algorithm entered against it. It's still why most stable business relationships work. Polak's one certain rule, repeated every semester: "Never play a strictly dominated strategy." Retail traders break it constantly — doubling down on a loser because taking the loss feels worse than the risk of losing more. The lectures are free. The problem sets are free. The equations fit in thirty pages. The math was never the moat. Sitting through 24 hours of it before you open a bid box, a terminal, or a negotiation — that's the part almost nobody does.

DeleteMe (@WestArios) reported@JohnOdamn @MeiKilovolt The plushie, the figure, the jacket, and like 2 or 3 other things. All new never opened. I was trying to downsize and pay down 3k fast. On ebay and it only sold for like $130 for all of it, like... 1 year ago? Or 1.5.

les paul junior 🍔🍺🎸🚍🐕 (@lespauljunior3) reported@JillCollier16 I’m banned from buying any more gear unless I sell some. 😢 I’m terrible at selling anything, I get sellers remorse before I’ve put in on eBay. Many failed attempts…
