Adrian Clarke (@adrianfclarke) reported@papiermagnet The internet has ruined everything so back issues are normally £25-30 on eBay so I can’t really justify them unless I need one for an article. I have a few I picked up at shows on the cheap.

Valkyrie Honeybadger (@HoneybadgerNo1) reported@foxenflask @eBay @depop Their AI sucks AND their authenticity accuracy has much room for improvement. I am waiting for eBay to fix this. I was told to open an "item not as described" case with the seller. I did and the seller has not responded. This should be a no brainer under their "authenticity guarantee" program: eBay says the item I bought from eBay is not authentic and there fore eBay should immediately offer the refund under their own authenticity policy. I had to listen to five people at eBay twist themselves into a pretzel trying to avoid addressing this and taking the proper action under eBay's own authenticity program and policies. Should eBay not fix this issue, I will dispute this off my credit card as "eBay not following eBay own authenticity policies"

heycrypto (@heyyyyycrypto) reportedThe pricing errors on Phygitals marketplace has almost costed me thousands of dollars countless times. Take Van Gogh Pikachu PSA 10 for example > See people asking for a $3k loan against it > Take a look at pricing history and it shows $5k > Thinks it's way to good to be true > Takes a look at Ebay and last sales are barely touching $3k > Closes Phygitals and goes back to the offerbooks

HeroAssange (@HeroAssange) reportedRyan Cohen saved Gamestop. The company wouldnt exist anynore without him. Never forget that Also the 2021 squeeze was mainly down to Ryan Cohen locking up 12% of the float and not selling a single share at $400+ dollars. Who else would do that? If the company keeps making $600 a year in profit (or just profit of any kind) the share price has to go up in the long term, even with all the f**kery in the world. It will go up Gamestop owns 10% of Ebay, is up over half a billion on the position, still has $6 billion in cash and the company is making a fortune. Little Gamestop is trying to buy the 4th biggest marketplace IN THE WORLD What more could he have done after taking over a used video game store? Look at the company now. Its flying and the share price will eventually catch up I get the frustration but it isnt Ryan Cohen's fault that Wall Street is one big ponzi scheme where rules are not enforced. Where there are 1000 ways to suppress any stock at anytime If it keeps going on then Ryan Cohen will start buying back GME shares. The lie cannot go on forever

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@HoneybadgerNo1 @eBay @depop Just for clarity, this item didn't actually go through an eBay authentication facility before delivery to you, right? I don't see the Authenticity Guarantee symbol & it's below the price threshold. It looks to me like it was just a regular listing, which eBay did not initially flag, allowing you to purchase it - then when you relisted the same item, eBay's AI systems flagged it as counterfeit & took it down. That wouldn't have anything to do with eBay Authentication, but it definitely does still show that eBay's AI sucks.

Nick (@maietta) reported@ShawnaStaffReal At least the Avalanche uses the 4L60E transmission which are very easy to rebuild. My Astro van had a ball bearing in the valve body separator plate get stuck, causing my 3-4 clutch back to burn up. A $10 kit off eBay to fix this issue means that once my transmission is rebuild, it will never have this kind of problem again. I'm aiming to finish the rebuild when I get back to the cabin. It's a super common issue.

The Nintendo Challenge Channel (@nintendo_chall) reported@maynard_voidx @Tubbernaut @Reggie Again, if you have a big library of N64, like I do myself, why don't you use you original console? There's no valid excuse for that, as good quality cable adaptors exist, and if your hardware is broken, you can easily get a new (second hand) one at eBay or any marketplace.

Shannon Jean (@ShannonJean) reportedHuge corporations despise small resellers like me. MegaCorps want to control their products forever. But legally, they can't. Here's why, and here's how you protect yourself against the army of lawyers they employ. Liquidation, store returns, and overstock products with their brand name drive these companies insane. And they want to stop you from selling them. How can you protect yourself from MegaCorp threats? By learning and using the Doctrine of First Sale. Here’s a quick rundown of what the DFS is and why you need to understand it. First – bookmark this post so you can refer back to it when eBay or Amazon shuts down your account due to a complaint, or you get a cease-and-desist letter from a MegaCorp. If you’re in this business long enough, it will happen to you. The official definition of the Doctrine of First Sale: The Doctrine of First Sale allows the purchaser of a legally obtained copyrighted work to resell, lend, or give away that specific item without the copyright holder's permission, limiting the copyright holder's control over subsequent distributions of that particular copy. The Shannon Definition of the Doctrine of First Sale: I bought it, I own it, and I can do whatever the hell I want with it. Leave me alone, MegaCorp! The DFS applies to every product sold, whether it’s a book, a piece of software, a designer handbag, or a refrigerator. If you bought it, you can do what you want with it. It doesn’t matter if you bought one or 500. They are all protected under the DFS. MegaCorps use a few tactics to try and intimidate you from reselling their products: VeRO complaints – these are complaints to marketplaces like eBay, Poshmark, or Amazon – the MegaCorp claims include: You are not “authorized” to sell their product. The product you are selling is not authentic The product details are a copyright violation. Here’s how to protect yourself from these claims: Always get a receipt. You need a clear invoice that shows the transfer of ownership. You’ll have to get comfortable sharing this with marketplaces if you want to stop VeRO claims. Ensure you are selling authentic products. Reliable suppliers are critical to be sure you are not buying counterfeit inventory. Never copy/paste product information from a MegaCorp website into your product listing. This is the fastest way to get your listing removed. Write your own descriptions. Be very clear in your listing that you are not associated with MegaCorp in any way. MegaCorps also like to send “Cease and Desist” letters to get you to stop selling their products. You need to respond to these Cease and Desist demand letters in a timely and confident manner. If you would like a template for responding to VeRO complaints and Cease and Desist letters for your future use, comment below with the phrase SCUMBAG LAWYER and I will send you a link. Be sure you are following me @ShannonJean so I can DM you. The Doctrine of First Sale is your shield against powerful MegaCorps that want to infringe on your Right to Resale! Want to learn more? Give me a follow @ShannonJean as I share unconventional methods to build wealth. We have to look out for each other against the MegaCorps.

Alexandra-6077 (@Alexandra6077) reported@JeanHatchet I had someone on eBay ask for leg measurements on shorts, inside and outside and with and with the turn-ups up and down. Waist measurement already stated. Once received she then asked to return them as they didn't fit! Also I 'd clearly stated I don't accept returns!

Keith Bacon | Sports Cards (@Keithbacon) reported@theonlydsmith @GotdemCards I currently post almost everything on eBay, but if you see something and your rather buy in CollX, I can move from one to the other. I’ve had trouble keeping track when listed on both and accidentally sold the same card twice.

Alex Strand (@1ev_guy) reported@eBay please be very cautious selling on eBay! They do not care about sellers! They hold money for weeks (presumably to make interest) under the guise of a zip code issue at delivery. I have confirmation thru their msg system that buyer has his item. Still will not release funds.

David Kopp (@Koppernicus) reported@serpentza, I usually have no problems shopping online. But sometimes… “Make me irritate at the mere mention of eBay” (I’m sorry. I’ll go stand in the corner.)

VLAD HOSTS THE BEST PODCAST IN BITCOIN (@Vladcostea) reportedRead a comment from somebody who said he will buy a rare and obscure hardware wallet from eBay or AliExpress because nobody will care enough to hack it It’s called security by obscurity and it’s the WORST IDEA EVER Coldcard got pwned because they used an obscure firmware with no incentives to audit Something more rare is a much easier target in the era of LLMs: search for obscure listings, then look for exploitable security vulnerabilities in the codebase What you should get instead is the most battle tested hardware and software. Something that’s been attacked for years and has hundreds of people looking for issues every day Something popular enough that it will receive support even after the company behind it goes out of business In security, the safest road is the one that most people are taking. The best place to hide isn’t off the grid, but in a crowd Choose wisely, the dark alley might be faster but it lacks the protections of the crowded boulevard

Fukuoka Slabs | 福岡ポケ (@FukuokaPokemart) reported@Hellaorganics Don't have that problem here in Japan but yea that's a big part of why I try to avoid selling on eBay which is mostly U.S. buyers. And worse than issues like that, just so many blatant scammers who lie about what they received, try to ship back a different worthless card, etc

Miss Wednesday (@notshade) reportedPerson on eBay selling a bunch of newtype magazine issues separately but doesn’t seem to realize it’s read right to left so all the listing pictures are just the ads on the back cover

Reboticon (@Reboticant) reported@WillieDJenkins1 the roomba at least does not do row by row it builds a map in its memory based on what it bounces off of and fills it in, and when it spots particular ***** spots does little circles around them and then heads off someone where else. Supposedly the new ones maintain memory of the rooms and so improve with time but idk. My roomba discoveries work on carpet. I actually bought them from ebay a few years ago when they were still more pricey. Amazon had off brand chinese replacement parts, and getting broken used ones were really cheap and i found the manual on ifixit or somewhere and just made a good one for cheaper than a new one and had a bunch of spare parts

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@SicilianMonk Generally speaking, I don't think the *idea* of acquiring Depop is bad - it's a good brand & is popular with a younger demographic that eBay has been unsuccessful at engaging. But also, I think the valuation on this deal is nuts & eBay way overpaid. As to where that leaves GameStop in a potential future combined entity? I don't know honestly. Managed well it could be a good addition & I don't think there would be anyone looking to buy it from eBay for anywhere near what was just paid for it at this point. So it will likely come down to which is the less bad option - keep it & try to accelerate growth to make an overpriced deal pay off faster or try to dump it at a loss. We'll see what happens.
