BTI (@garbmad) reported@foxenflask @ValueAddedRS It depends on the entity that eBay acquired - for sneakers - its Sneakercon - for your scarf it should be certilago which fashion houses just like Hermes used but I would have to see the whole listing. We’re starting to see changes of where the seller or buyer is located. I recently sold a Tom Ford coat, sent it 2 day ups w/ signature insured - it went to the authenticator- they signed, verified then sent it to the buyer usps ground w/ no signature, no insurance & it was “lost” - the buyer was a good person and shared videos of his ring camera the day it was allegedly dropped off - usps didn’t deliver it & agent told me I didn’t have to worry about it, I was protected then a week later the buyer filed a charge back and eBay opened a case against me and put the funds on my account in suspension. Most sellers aren’t out to scam - the issue is usually the “house” - btw @ValueAddedRS have you heard eBay took away the ability to write your own message organically on packing slips? I always included my contact info if there’s ever any problem or interested in anything else I have or that they may be looking for… today I noticed, now I’ll just have to make a separate sheet and make it more obvious. Everything is so damn sneaky w/ them

Amy Lesley 💚🤍💜 (@AmyLesley) reported@katrosenfield Yes, I agree. Not just general search engine searches either, I've had trouble with eBay, next, Sainsbury's, all sorts.

Greg (@GLH590) reported@larryvc So sick of the riddles from GameStop, no wonder eBay turned down offer, they know better deal will be made at the expense of loyal shareholders.

OrangeCultWatch (@CultOrange34309) reported@eBay @WeTheHobby @RobGronkowski I was just scammed on ebay and gave me and untracked shipping number and then told me ebay was down so he couldn't print a shipping label. Then refunds me 1 cent of $400

værze (@varzecs) reported@metacolt1 @CardPurchaser Ebay barely protect sellers at all. You can just say it doesnt work, is broken with minimal evidence and they will side with you instantly, worse if you used paypal.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedA buyer walks in and you sell 30% under market — because the sticker is from last quarter. Built Pricepherd to fix it. It scans sold comps on eBay, Depop, Poshmark, Mercari 24/7 and auto-reprices inventory to live demand. Weekly margin reports. Category-shift alerts.

'darnstadium' (@darnstadium) reportedInteresting point here regarding 'Orphan' appliances. Person buys a broken laptop on eBay or Marketplace to fix their unit. Discards the now more broken unit. It doesn't magically become 'Commercial Waste' and therefore chargeable.

Timothy Poth (@WesPothington) reported@AKABrewersBeat Police? Yes! Lawyer? Yes! eBay? Yes! PSA should have insurance for this? This is a financial issue. Financial institutions like Vanguard and Fidelity have operational procedures in place. A client cannot change the address or bank account and then withdraw equity (in this case your cards) without the institution being able to confirm that the actual client (you!) Is the one making the change. Those institutions spend a lot of money to prevent fraud. You should expect the same from PSA. Who can say that someone working at PSA did not do this? Like Lucy, PSA has a lot of 'splaining to do.

Sweet Trading Cards (@SweetTradeCards) reported@iwilldestroyuxx @GhostRunnerCard The lack of any update and staying as shipping label printed is absolutely USPS issue. About 5-10% of my shipments never get any update or get one upon delivery. USPS is providing updates to eBay on these orders. It uses a different system than their traditional tracking system but eBay isn't just making **** up.

Rippin Wax (@Rippin_Wax) reportedHey @eBay can you please fix your software to promote something other than random sellers being “Live”?! It’s a very poor “Welcome/Home page”. I’ve only seen and heard complaints from your customers. Please hear us all when we say we generally dislike it

ZEROHEDGES (@ZEROHEDGES1) reported@colinvmcguire Buy it from a reputable seller or A. There’s a good chance you are buying someone else’s problem or a Frankenwatch. B. Don’t buy from an International seller. You’ll have a problem if you have to ship it back. C. There’s a lot of crooks on eBay. C. Make sure they accept returns.

Yikes Dude ✝️🐰🦊🇺🇸 (@YikesMuhDude) reported@Walrus_Moonboy He’s scanning them in bulk and bulk listing them on eBay and tcgplayer. The issue is he’s causing lots of dings and scratches as it falls. So whoever buys these will be getting something worse than what the scans are sometimes.

Calculated Flow | Options & Positioning (@CalculatedFlow) reportedI went further down the TD rabbit hole, and there is a more concrete connection than I initially realized. First, a correction: TD Securities (USA) LLC was the initial purchaser for both GME convertible offerings—the 2030s and 2032s, ultimately covering the full $4.2B—not just the 2032 notes. The same TD entity later gave GameStop the highly confident letter regarding up to $20B of eBay acquisition financing. That does not prove TD still owned the notes or arranged this exchange. “Initial purchaser” means TD placed the notes with QIBs, and the exchange filing does not identify the participating holders. So I still don’t think we can establish that roadshow investors were being rewarded with equity. But TD’s financing letter contains what I now think is the strongest connection: Its confidence in raising the $20B expressly assumed that the combined company would obtain investment-grade ratings from at least two major rating agencies. Moody’s subsequently estimated that the proposed structure would leave the combined company with approximately $31.4B of debt and gross leverage close to 9× at closing. The agreed $1.4B exchange, if completed, would cut GME’s convertible principal by one-third and reduce that pro forma debt figure to roughly $30B—without using acquisition cash. On Moody’s original EBITDA assumptions, that only moves illustrative leverage from roughly 9.1× to 8.7×. So it doesn’t solve the financing problem by itself, particularly with $2.8B of converts still remaining. But it is directionally consistent with improving the credit and ratings case after eBay specifically criticized GME’s financing uncertainty and combined-company leverage. So I would refine the thesis: This does not appear to be about the converts legally blocking an eBay acquisition, nor does it prove institutions were simply “rewarded.” It looks more plausibly like one piece of a broader recapitalization—exchange debt for common equity, preserve cash, reduce gross leverage and future cash claims, and make a very large acquisition-financing package more credible. Still not proof of eBay. TD’s letter is explicitly not a commitment, and the exchanging holders may hedge or sell. But the investment-grade-rating condition gives this move a much more concrete economic rationale than Rule 144A or September 23 alone. Credit where it’s due — @dirtevader your post pushed me much further down this rabbit hole than I originally intended.

Matt (@ironman2691) reported@jbmca2136 Looks like on ebay they are are spelled wrong, so maybe it was a full error on Funko

💫 TinyTigerXO 💫 (@TinyTigerXO) reported@BlancoLycan @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser It doesn’t automatically protect them from negative feedback. Someone could say that shipping was slow and I have had that. I ship everything on time or ahead of the ship date. If the delivery carrier accidentally misroutes the package, I can’t really do anything about that as it’s out of my control. But Etsy or even eBay could see that as being valid feedback and easily could refuse to remove it. These platforms don’t always support sellers the way they should.

Vikings95 (@Vikings95Cards) reported@NaNaNaNaB00BOO eBay autopay on auctions has kind of messed with that since payment is sent within an hour of ending. If they’re keeping all of the $ for both shipping costs, I’m expecting 2 packages with 2 labels since that’s technically what I paid for - normally this isn’t an issue with good sellers honestly.. this guy is a ghost

Illini Fan Card Collector (@CardIllini) reportedeBay has to fix their communication gap with the ESE tracking with USPS. Local offices have been instructed they aren’t to scan that only regional hubs scan PWE eBay tracking now. Also a new wave of buyers this year kind of stink. I have had 10 refund requests this year alone

Colin (@colin_gladman) reported$GME I told you in the video you didn’t want to flounder below key support down here, and so far, that’s exactly what’s happening. Now your best bet is what I talked about holding this range then news breaks, maybe EBay, and creates an island bottom. The longer it stays down here, the more likely it is to continue to drop. I will say this, if you’re a long term $GME bull, and not some fantasyland squeeze fanboy, the risk to reward adding GME between 14-19 is there. I’ve still got my shares from $12, and honestly I have no idea why.
