  @mikerizz33 @eBay That's absurd. @ryancohen save us from this! The good news is that no one cares if you have one or two dings. When they start to add up, it becomes a problem!

  @ryancohen This and many other odd issues have risen since 2009. When eBay farmed out their tech support to third party, now out of business 2010 (CSC), the whole process went down the drain.

  @asherrkiinee I hardly ever get likes when I make what to me appear to be balanced thoughts with decent punctuation and layout. I hate you all so please don't let me down as one of these phones will be worth a few quid on Ebay..I mean would be really nice.

  The public eBay page also carries trust signals buyers are trained to like: 100% positive feedback, hundreds of sold items, and a seller account dating back to 2012. That is exactly the problem. An old account is not proof of authenticity. Positive feedback is not proof of authenticity. A Beckett or PSA sticker is not proof that the jersey in the listing is real.

  @CoyoteKn0wsBest @AMCScam Current shareholders have the option to get out right now at $125 if this goes through. Those who hang on will have to ride through debt repayment, sure, but there is a lot of bloat at eBay and cost cutting alone will generate more than enough to repay that debt. It boils down to what happens after. If nothing, then I will eat my words and say it's all been for nothing. Until then, its speculative. But we need to give the man an opportunity in an environment where growth is possible. GME hasnt provided that opportunity. I think he played his cards well.

  I like playing @ryancohen and $GME with $PHUN … as it’s the same EXACT problem there as it is at @ebay. And all the Directors and Officers know it. This thesis is the same in both cases. Useless grifting boards and execs without $1 at risk. Every. Single. Time.

  GameStop just made a $56 billion offer to buy eBay, a company four times its size. The plan: combine the two and take on Amazon. The problem? GameStop only has $29 billion, leaving a $27 billion hole. When CEO Ryan Cohen went on CNBC to explain where the rest was coming from, he couldn't. Is this GameStop's comeback moment, or the beginning of the end?

  @ryancohen @natsturner One of the big challenges on eBay right now is people will purchase a card, and immediately request to cancel it. This happens because the card will still show as “sold”, so it inflates the comp prices even if you refund the card. It also doesn’t show the actual sale price if you accept a lower offer. Sometimes there is a “system error,” and the seller fees aren’t automatically refunded, even when the buyer is the one that cancels. I’ve lost out on countless fees because it’s such a hassle to go through support. This only happens with sports cards for the most part. A credit card should be on file there should be auto pay to prevent this. The example below just happened today, and is the 3rd time this week a high value card has been cancelled. @eBay Are you going to step up to the plate and make improvements, or do I need to pull my listings and start selling my cards to eBay?

  @npantano_ @FartieFrenchie If they roll this into a holding company they can issue the stock from the new entity. Cohen said in a follow up interview they'd do it this way, 60% value to ebay shareholders, 40% to gme shareholders. I'd be happier with your theory though tbh.

  @realboyfailure @Dexerto it has some cool features but the main problem was people buying more then 3 and resell them for double the price on ebay

  @_sportscardshop @eBay @ProfSportsCards Well freakin said!!!!! Thats one of the few negatives… him and his company buying eBay doesn’t fix the fraud situation overnight. It just changes who profits while the fraud carries on. It’ll be a tremendous undertaking that will require lots of money and strategy but if anyone is gonna give it a real shot with the right people the most efficiently way possible it’s RC.

  @ryancohen @eBay I gave up years ago! They say check your email for something we sent your account a decade ago and blah blah blah. Completely useless company if you run into technical difficulties. Zero motivation from anyone on the @eBay team to try and solve the issues. Loads of cooks no chef’s.

  @GregIsKitty @michaeljburry Yes the gme financial results speak for themselves. Gme stock down over 50% while diluting $12b. Ebay stock up nearly 100% while buying back nearly $14b. Ebay shareholders are desperate to have RC on their team

  @baseball_cards Neutral and negative feedback needs to be approved by @ebay. Too many buyers are ignorant and don’t understand what it means. I new eBay user just left me neutral feedback bc “in their option, the 38 year old card doesn’t look as good as it did in the pictures.” The same card they saw is the card they got, and bc of their “opinion” - my perfect feedback record gets destroyed and there’s nothing I can do about it. EBAY MUST FIX THIS.

  @ReclaimTheNetHQ WHEN they set this up, it was SUPPOSED TO BE FOR SELLERS, now they are putting it on CONSUMERS, and I think I AM GOING TO TURN THEM IN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!! I have BOUGHT thousands from them, and if they want to accuse me of FRAUD, they can take their damn Amazon account, and SHOVE IT!!! It’s part of their compliance with this law for sellers — and sometimes it spills over or triggers broader account security reviews for buyers too (especially with unusual activity). The INFORM Consumers Act (full name: Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for Consumers Act) is a U.S. federal law passed in 2022 as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act. It took effect on June 27, 2023. Main Purpose The law aims to increase transparency on online marketplaces (like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, etc.) to protect consumers from counterfeit, stolen, or unsafe goods sold by third-party sellers. It makes it harder for fraudulent sellers to hide their identities. Who It Applies ToOnline marketplaces operating in the U.S. that allow third-party sellers. High-volume third-party sellers: Those with 200+ separate sales and $5,000+ in gross revenue in any continuous 12-month period within the past 24 months. Small or low-volume sellers are generally exempt .Key Requirements Marketplaces like Amazon must: Collect and verify specific information from high-volume sellers: Government-issued ID (e.g., driver's license, passport). Bank account details. Tax ID (e.g., SSN for individuals or EIN for businesses). Contact info (phone, email, business address). Disclose some seller information to buyers (e.g., name, address, contact details for qualifying high-volume sellers). Suspend sellers who don't comply or provide false info. Provide a way for consumers to report suspicious activity. Re-verify information annually (or when it changes). Penalties for non-compliant marketplaces: Up to ~$53,000 per violation (enforced by the FTC and states). Why Amazon (and Others) Ask for ID/VerificationThis is exactly why you might see Amazon prompting for government ID upload or other details during account issues, lockouts, or routine checks. It’s part of their compliance with this law for sellers — and sometimes it spills over or triggers broader account security reviews for buyers too (especially with unusual activity). Amazon has been actively enforcing this since 2023, with annual certifications required.

  Glitch Truth (@glitchtruth) reported 49 minutes ago

  GameStop just offered $56 billion to buy eBay. That's the entire price tag, cash and stock combined. Ryan Cohen runs GameStop. The company sits on about $5 billion in cash and securities. eBay's market cap is around $30 billion. The offer values eBay at nearly double what the public market thinks it's worth, and GameStop doesn't have the money to back it. Cohen says it'd be a stock-and-cash deal, which means GameStop would have to issue paper worth more than its entire current company to close the math. Carl Icahn tried this exact play on eBay back in 2014. He failed for the same reason: you cannot buy a $30 billion company with $5 billion unless somebody agrees your shares are worth what you say they are. eBay's board hasn't even acknowledged the bid. No financing commitment filed. No advisor named. No path to actually closing. So why announce a $56 billion offer you cannot fund? Because the headline moves GME harder than the deal ever could. Cohen's whole playbook since 2021 has been turning corporate filings into retail catalysts. This is the boldest version yet.

  Day 3. eBay is still throwing the same “script” at me. There has been no resolution and they have admitted to keep the funds with them indefinitely. @ebay, as mentioned in the emails written to you, I will keep raising this issue on X till I don’t get the funds which are rightfully mine. @SECGov, $EBAY fudge their profits by banning sellers and claiming their funds. I’m experiencing this first hand. Nobody knows how many innocent sellers have faced the same issue in the past and have not been able to raise their issue via X. Thanks to @X for such an open platform.

  @shagbark_hick For anyone wondering... Look up Extreme Cold Military sleeping bag. They are about $100 on eBay, made of a heavy outer material, down filled, and if branded and copied by Patagonia or North Face would probably be 600-800. Only one ive used past 15 years
