orwellvalley (@orwellvalley) reportedI'm selling some more things on eBay to pay the legal fees which as a final slap in the face for daring to challenge the system were awarded against us. I've had a few messages off people wanting me to further reduce a price that I have already four times. It's now just over a third of what it cost me some years ago, and has got a bit silly. I said no, I'm not prepared to knock another £50 off to the last guy because from experience those that want to pay the least for something on eBay are generally the ones that complain the most. If it comes down to squabbling over 50 quid and you go for it, you'd better be prepared hunker down for the certain following storm about imperfections.

Juun (@JuunTV) reportedJust to clear confusion, I see a lot of people saying "oh Sony is just trying to save money by cutting physical releases". No they are not, they are actually willing to cut down a good chunk of income to create full market control. If physical games were a loss leader there would have been something completely wrong with the production and distribution of video games and gaming wouldn't be as big as it was today. Financially speaking this done to increase prices down the road, lock people into an eco system and make people dependent on their platform by creating sunk-cost fallacy. All your eggs in one basket. Because once you spend 1000's of dollars into your account. Its going to be really hard to just give it up. Because you can't just go out and sell your collection on ebay. But yeah tell me again why this is supposed to be good for you as a customer. You are willingly becoming the products and you don't even realize it.

The Llama Monster (@LlamaMonstWV) reported@shalomninja My side hustle is Ebay it's been pretty slow for some reason...

✨Deano✨ (@warrior_ed59198) reported@StarwindZone @DHLGlobal @eBay I’ve had the same issue recently too with evri and Vinted and it’s been such a pain to deal with. Ordered an Alice in wonderland vhs over a week ago and it’s been missing from the delivery address. Had multiple convos with the seller and we’re trying to get to the bottom of it.

🇬🇧BlueControl🇬🇧 (@blue_control69) reported@RsGimble @SkyNews You are correct. As an eBay seller, a lot of my items are sent with evri and I haven't had an issue since I started 12 months ago. Back in their early days they were fairly unreliable, from my experiences they have turned that around.

Michael Bowman (@pastormbowman) reportedVibe coded my first app with Claude yesterday/this morning to help with reselling on eBay. Had this idea for a long time and just haven't been able to get anything to work but pointed Fable at the issue and so far seems pretty sweet. Will find out how well it actually works...

Fibonacci 🥷 (@Fibonacci69) reportedAJC claims gacha mechanics will continue to revolutionize the game of collectibles and TCGs. "If you try to like trade these assets in the real world, it sucks" "I go to target to go buy Pokemon sold out, run over to Best Buy sold out. Go to my local card shop and it’s marked up like 30% over retail price. So I go on eBay, next thing I know I actually bought a scam listing. Wasted days and time and money" "Let me just go pull up Collector Crypt, spin the gacha a couple times, see what I get. Lot simpler process, lot easier, makes it far more accessible. I can trust and verify like hey they actually hold these assets, here’s like a tokenized receipt" "Putting these assets on chain is a literal 200x improvement over existing market structure, which is massive right" "The gachas are kind of the Trojan horse for that. These gacha companies are bringing the cards on chain and they’re the ones doing the magic. They solved the cold start problem and they're gonna enable a lot more interesting use cases"

Niner808 (@Niner808) reported@WaxMetrix @eBay Same thing happened to me on a sealed Panini Honors card. They opened the factory seal and put the card in a sleeve and card saver. The card arrived sticking out but fortunately no damage. After complaining to eBay they refunded me $50 for the issue.

Dezo (@0xDezo) reportedCHINESE DEV MADE $487,000 RUNNING LLAMA 405B ON A $580 EPYC CHIP AMD ONLY SHIPPED TO AZURE AMD EPYC 7V13, 64 cores, 128 threads. 512GB of pulled DDR4 ECC at $91 a stick. Supermicro server board for $340. All of it stuffed inside a gaming case on his desk. Most builders think 405B needs an H100 rack. He ran the whole model on a socket that used to run Bing. Pause at 1:58 — the EPYC chip sitting bare with a "made in Malaysia" stamp on the heatspreader. Azure decommissioned this chip. A guy on eBay put it under a desk. Full build in the video below.

KeifDaBeef (@da_keif) reported@JustinBrannan Bruh im stealing everything that isnt nailed down and reselling it to swifties on Ebay. I might leave an upper decker in one of their toilets tho

The Meme Show! (@memeshowlive) reported@HarmlessNooob @HitTheLiq @iansmithfitness Dude, you can buy a dinosaur bone on Ebay. Problem solved.

Airlim (@Mainstreamlive) reportedPutting things up on eBay that I don’t really want to but I need things. If I get the funds then I’ll take them down but for now let’s stick them on the old internets

Orla (@orlasuture) reported@jklongwith @eBay the sound of ice in one of those old glass tumblers hits different thick clink, slow settle 🥃 they don't make them heavy like that anymore

JD (@Jh2059) reported@natsturner @WaxMetrix @eBay Appreciate the response Nat! Know that with a contract you can’t just change things arbitrarily, but glad to have confirmation it’s being worked on. Major issue.
-
kakuu (@kakuu2023) reported@AskeBay @ebay I need help with a serious issue. A refunded order was later delivered with the same tracking number, but it contained a completely different item. The automated assistant cannot resolve this. Could you please advise how I can contact a human agent by message
-
Christopher (@Christo82965940) reportedUPDATE on Case 5374687210: eBay customer service has now stated in writing: “this was not your fault.” They acknowledge their own system caused the tracking data to be lost. Yet they are still denying my appeal citing a 30-day limit. You admitted fault. Now fix it. @AskeBay @eBay #eBaySeller

JD (@Jh2059) reported@WaxMetrix @eBay It is absolutely insane to me that this is still an issue. @natsturner wtf is going on here? I know eBay calls some of these shots but cmon man

BlowoutBuzz.com (@BlowoutBuzz) reportedAnybody noticing eBay being immensely slow to load pages lately? Or is it just me?

Farigiraf use Psybeam 🟣 (@ArmorTailGirl) reportedScalpers 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 🌈

Maxx Feral (@MaxxFeral) reported@PeterB585337060 @Rainmaker1973 Yeah - but we got people interested in "Retro Tech" nowadays. Frankly a good % of flat screens can be repaired if no visible damage (cat knocked it over, broken screen) pretty cheaply and FAR less dangerously...still ONLY a pro should. But everyone just buys new. CRT's are more likely to knock you across the room and/or burn off a tiny hunk of flesh than kill you. But some people have weak hearts and it's at the edge of the voltage/types that can cause a heart attack. I don't want authorities going around trying to destroy them if some person does a stupid... CRT's are getting a market back but most/all the places to make new ones have been shut down. Usually, they CAN be repaired a few times to working before dying. Not going to list the signs/solutions here I'd type a book. Again better to try to recycle them to a pro or if into Retro stuff oneself pay to have a legit tech look at it. The last models were giant ones, 32 inch and higher, total dream for kids who had N64s and Dreamcasts to play with. Worth a few $ for a diagnostic then repair if feasible. AND if they find a pile in an estate sale or something, check they are working, might make decent $ on Ebay and make some people happy. Myself I like playing ATARI on a GIANT Flatscreen TV. My Aunt had a projection screen and warned me and other relatives NOT to put the Atari into it - said it'd wreck it and we'd have to mow her lawn and do YEARS of chores to make up for it... And we respected her so we never tried it. Now a flatscreen BIGGER than her $8K setup (NOT adjusted for inflation) is not $400 in my rural big box stores during Black Friday/Christmas... And yes I play ANCIENT games on it! And newer ones. There's some suck like I did play with lightgun games but... But otherwise I do NOT idolize the past though I have fond memories of it. ----Again TL/DR... 1 - let a PRO with experience and the burns/scars to prove it risk his A$$ on it and be PAID for it. 2 - You can FIX most CRTs a few times 3 - I hope there's a retro market like how people purchase NEW LPs (plastic sound music discs) and get NEW music made in LP, Cassette, Mini-Disc format for the niche... Not a "Full return" but a solid mini niche.

DadVibes Cards (@DadVibesCards) reported@WaxMetrix I talked to an ebay rep about a different issue that I didn't think was going to get resolved. That conversation also went really well and they gave me more than I expected. They have good people there. It's just getting to them that's frustrating, and obviously these situations.
-
CollectorMane (@collectormane) reported@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

Corner Card Collector (@CCCollectorTCG) reportedIs anyone else having issues with @eBay showing your accounts in the negative?
-
JL (@BALLBAKEDTAKES) reported@WaxMetrix @DesertHeatCards @eBay This is what I’m talking about AUTHENTICATION is terrible! There needs to be an opt out button when it comes to authentication.
-
Noah J (@NPJSwizle) reportedWho does everyone PC or want to buy? I need some sales to help pay for my wedding next month and my EBay sales have slowed down a bit. @CardPurchaser I don’t know if I’d sell on here unless they were very well vouched for or legit but I’ll make custom lots on eBay if asked!!

jackduk (@jackduk1) reported@KarlTurnerMP @andyburnham He couldn't even fix a bus route in Manchester, and now he's an economic mastermind? While he's on, ask him to fix Amazon, Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, eBay and Starbucks while you're on. Clampet.

Z3RD (@yodoshow) reported@BlixkGod @Gumidess Well downloading some games gives you the whole game locally. In those instances, you digitally bought physical media (seeing the same is physically written in your hard drive instead of having physical permissions to enter a server) the no disk thing is really their "yellow ebay
