  This is the problem with trying to buy NASCAR **** on eBay now in 2026. Buddy posted this **** for $300, I went to my local nascar hobby shop owned by a cool *** old head and mind you his shop is the only NASCAR shop in the Philly area and no other nascar shops for 250 miles who sold me the same thing for $85, HMS 300 win sticker and all. He also has a huge selection of Kyle Bush 1/24’s for the same price as well.

  PCIFIC is also expanding beyond the marketplace itself with PCIFIC Safeguard, our browser extension. We are optimising for eBay first. The idea is simple: PCIFIC should help buyers and sellers wherever they already are. For buyers, the extension appears directly inside the eBay listing page. You do not need to open a clunky popup, copy a URL, or paste details into another tool. PCIFIC renders inside the eBay UI, near the buying decision. When you click Review with PCIFIC, the extension reviews the visible listing details, seller signals, reviews, condition claims, item description, returns information, and listing context. It then gives you a plain-English report. It can highlight things like: • Vague condition wording • Missing proof • Unclear accessories • Suspicious listing history patterns • Seller signal concerns • Product details that may confuse buyers • Questions worth asking before paying PCIFIC Safeguard is a decision-support tool. It surfaces patterns, explains risk signals, and helps buyers ask better questions before spending money. One example is listing history. Sometimes a listing can show a large number of sales, which creates trust. But if the listing was previously used for a cheaper item and later changed into an expensive device, that sold count may not mean what the buyer thinks it means. PCIFIC Safeguard looks for patterns like that and explains them clearly. The extension also gives buyers a score, a simple status such as Looks safe or Check first, and a copyable message they can send to the seller. For sellers, the extension works inside the eBay listing flow. When you are creating a listing, PCIFIC can show fee guidance directly in the UI, so you understand what eBay may take before you publish. It also adds a Review with PCIFIC button for sellers. This reviews your draft listing from a buyer’s point of view. It checks whether your title, description, condition notes, price, and trust signals make sense. For example, if your title says the item is in good condition but your description suggests heavy wear, PCIFIC can flag that. If buyers may want battery health, warranty information, proof of reset, accessory details, or clearer photos, PCIFIC can point that out before the listing goes live. The extension also saves review states between sessions. So if you reviewed a listing two days ago and come back to it later, PCIFIC remembers that. You do not need to regenerate the same review again. This matters because marketplace buying is not always instant. People compare listings, leave tabs open, come back later, message sellers, and sleep on decisions. PCIFIC Safeguard is built around how people actually shop. The bigger vision is not only eBay and not only tech. Tech is the first category because it has obvious trust problems: IMEI checks, serial numbers, battery health, device locks, specs, repairs, warranties, and hidden condition issues. But the same idea can apply to watches, trading cards, collectables, fashion, cars, and other categories where buyers need help understanding risk and trust. PCIFIC started as a UK tech marketplace. But the bigger mission is becoming clearer: PCIFIC helps people make safer, clearer marketplace decisions before money changes hands. And with tools like findr, buildr, PCIFIC Checkup, and PCIFIC Safeguard, we are not just trying to make another marketplace. We are building the tools that marketplaces should have had already. Our philosophy is simple: wherever friction exists, we look for a way to reduce it. If AI is the right tool, we use AI. If a simple button, QR code, manual review, form, verification flow, or buyer checklist solves the problem better, we use that instead. The point is not to make everything automated. The point is to make buying and selling feel easier, safer, and clearer for normal people.

  So I guess @eBay has no problem pointing me to a screen that loops and doesn't let me contact support, but seems fine with scammers on the website. My first time using ebay and I'm stuck dealing with someone trying to screw me about. Now I know why I haven't used ebay...

  @Larnu_UK I just going to preface this with **** is legal here. Now I’ll look down. Why didn’t I think to look down for the eBay source code…:p So, I’m going off this post and others similar. Hope you get one of the reservations people are cancelling!

  @WallStreetApes As a capitalist I recommend dispensing all the contents of the vending machine and selling them on eBay for cheap. Go back and get more when they refil the machine. Infinite money glitch.

  @LZBataan Saw a story about a Gen Zero that was bitchin' that she could hardly affort rent much less buy a house. Her friend's father, a banker, sat down with her and went thru her monthly expenses. She had a 3 bedroom apartment, lived by herself, 2 iPhones and was paying over $400 a month for service, 5 streaming services, nearly $200 a WEEK at a salon, $400 a month Door Dash/Uber Eats/etc., Over $700 a month on clothes/jewlery. $2700 a month credit cards... you get the idea. He set up an back account for her and she get $200 a week spending/gas money, He found her grandma's cookware in the cupboards, gave her a cookbook, put 90% of her clothes and jewlery, some of which she had never worn, on ebay. Got rid of the extra phone and streaming, once a month to the salon, moved her into a studio apartment. His wife taught her how to grocery shop and gave her cooking lessons. Last I heard, 3 years later, she had nearly $20K in the bank. I told her that when she gets to $75K, he'll help her find a condo.

  @AlanAre63530701 It's whatever, I try not to bring personal life problems onto this account so maybe that's why people think it's all just hunky dory for me. I'll just sell off some more things on eBay so I can afford to go out

  100% terrible for consumers. Pay the same lose everything. No collectibility, no sell to eBay, no garage sale, no loan to friend, no long term preservation without piracy/hacking. Just awful.

  @WaxMetrix @eBay Yeah eBay is terrible. I sold a higher end card on there and the ***** authenticating it screwed the card up then blamed me and said I should have listed it in excellent condition. They also refused to look at the pictures I took of the card before being shipped to them.

  Scalpers are a huge problem too — it takes roughly 1,300 packs to pull a chase SIR just to resell it for $1,000+ on eBay. Raising the pull rates isn’t the solution either. Just ask everyone for their personal data, I’m sure you’ll make good use of it 🌈

  @Nortier Psa also controls the hobby market I find it very weird that as soon as they shut down all these service levels all of sudden every seller on eBay is selling every Psa card for 2x times or 3x times of comp prices I even saw some sellers have their slabs at 4x times of comps

  @WaxMetrix @eBay eBay authentication is terrible. I sold a gorgeous Aaron Judge /25 Auto in perfect condition. Went through eBay authentication and got DESTROYED. Like through a lawn mower shredded. They sent it back to me and cancelled the sale saying that the card was not as described. Thankfully I took a tin of pictures and videos of actually packing the card up in perfect condition, including taping and sealing the box. They went back and reviewed video footage and found one of the guys there at eBay authentication in Santa Ana had destroyed the card. So they paid me for that card and sent it back to me. They made it right but I had to fight through hell to get it. Can’t do anything with the card now. It’s shredded, but they paid me.

  @TheForza_ @switchstock Not that simple. Not only would It would be nearly impossible to enforce and cost a lot to monitor everyone, but shops could just sell under a different name on eBay or tcgplayer. They also aren't the distributors. I would say the distributors are a large part of the issue

  All of you keep trying to put me down and make me feel bad and insignificant for my collection size, and keep trying to press me to say I have more digital than physical. You mfs will not gaslight me into thinking I’m not a physical fan when I have way more of discs than digital titles and I will keep buying discs as much as I can overtime, I’m always on the lookout for sales from brick and mortar retail or Amazon or eBay or marketplace, I’m never gonna stop owning more discs even after 2028 so **** all of you abusive mfs once again 🖕

  @eBay your customer service for sellers is terrible. No one can answer me or tell me why I am getting g charged 6$ every month for 1 listing and I can’t remove the listing to get the charge removed… and when I submit a request you just ignore it…never approved this charge!

  tridentxan (@tridentxan) reported 60 minutes ago

  @Damnitbobbywhy @Jesster017 @funkofinderz There’s more than enough. The problem is scalpers knowing how to bypass online limits while also using stupidly expensive bots and paying off employees and vendors for backdoor access and/or insider info to know when they should camp outside the store for the good stuff. Not to mention the employees and vendors keeping restocks from customers and buying it themselves. It’s just all getting bought up by people who don’t know anything at all about Pokemon except what Charizard, Pikachu, Gengar, and the Eeveelutions are. The core problem is that there isn’t any anti-botting measures and no one reporting backdoor / information bribery schemes, let alone the existence and implementation of ID verification by DL number. It’s sitting in Edgar and Kyle’s garages in boxes 4-5 stacks high and wide as they post them up on marketplace and eBay.
