    @ryancohen As a small eBay seller grinding daily-This is 100% facts. eBay straight up says in Seller Hub: “Promote this listing or it won’t get shown.” It’s no longer about best item, photos, or price- it’s about how much extra “toll fee” you’ll pay for visibility.Fix it @ryancohen @eBay

    Ok, I have to say it. I have issues with how Ryan Cohen has done things. The warrants are an example of that. But I do think he did spend considerable time planning out this Ebay proposal. Too many are laughing at him. This guy has a relationship with Carl Icahn. Do you not think Ryan had some deep thoughts on this with him? I'm sure multiple scenario analysis has been done. And for Chuck Gasbag to suddenly start talking positive about him and GME? Yeah, something is still coming.

    @alt_w_v_g You know what ebay needs? "eBay local". Put up a fight against Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. FB marketplace is trash, and clist died when they started to charge for posting. Pls fix. Thx.

    @shadows_united Debated Brothership just because of the deal but that Marvel vs Capcom collection might hold me down until Tokon drops. Almost like those bastards at GameStop said they didn’t need the EBay deal and had other means of making money smh

    @ryancohen Please fix the seller fees! They are too high and it’s driving people crazy. Make eBay Great Again! 🇺🇸💰😎

  • EmotionMarkets
    DataAndFinance (@EmotionMarkets) reported

    @unusual_whales Ryan Cohen calling $EBAY “run by losers” is funny. But structurally, it also matters. The deal is not dead, but it has clearly moved from normal M&A into hostile-pressure territory. eBay already rejected the bid as “neither credible nor attractive,” and the financing gap is still the biggest practical problem. That makes the $GME setup less about whether the takeover is likely tomorrow, and more about whether the crowd can keep the pressure organized. SETA is seeing that pressure return: $GME narrative coherence has rebuilt to 0.276, with the tape lifting around “ebay rejects,” “takeover,” and “credible attractive.” So the read is: Low probability clean deal. High-friction hostile campaign. Live squeeze risk if the M&A narrative keeps cohering.

    @datznasty56148 @The_myspace_tom More than a grand by far 😑 Again, if this isn’t a bad joke / basic **** post, put it on Reddit Pokemon error cards to generate interest then auction on eBay. Then Venmo me $20 for the assist

    @alphafox I hadn't used it in over a decade until this past month when I needed an obscure ceiling fan part. I signed up. I got my part, it worked, no issue. 2 weeks later I got an email that ebay has permanently banned my account for suspicious activity. What? Why? What a joke.

  • Stealthy_GCoach
    Stealthy GCoach (@Stealthy_GCoach) reported

    @alt_w_v_g Yep. I listed a simple t shirt with a genuine Ferrari tag and trademark colors on ebay last year and got zero buyers, maybe 3 views, and they wanted to charge me for many things to show it better. Ebay is a joke. Terrible site now. It will not continue much longer unless they dump this **** concept.

    @eBay @eBay You have the shittiest CS - you dropped a call 4 times today and none of your reps called back- getting 1 issue resolved has taken over a dozen calls and 4 months and it still hasn’t been addressed- you charge fees for this garbage?

  • ValueAddedRS
    Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported

    @ermiasbraki Everything I have posted about in the last 2 weeks is something I've been reporting on for ~5 years. So no, I'm not just chasing "the attention economy" but yes I am happy to see some of the longstanding culture, governance & other issues at eBay getting attention they have deserved for some time. Importantly - most of those issues have been completely ignored by legacy business & financial media for years. Maybe someone should ask them why?

    🚨GAMESTOP JUST TRIED TO BUY EBAY FOR $56 BILLION🚨 Ryan Cohen walks in with a $125/share cash+stock offer, says he'll fix their bloated mess using our 1,600 stores for real-world fulfillment... and eBay's board cries "not credible" like scared little kids. This is the SAME Ryan Cohen who turned a "dying" GameStop into a $10B+ beast with a war chest of cash while shorts have been bleeding since 2021. They laughed at us then. They're sweating now. Apes aren't selling. Diamond hands only. The real squeeze is just getting started. $GME #GameStop #RyanCohen #ApesTogetherStrong

    @NetAxisGroup If eBay is really worth fixing for 55B, the problem might not be the platform… it might be the people rejecting the check.

    @JunkWaxJblack @CardPurchaser Happened a couple times to me, eBay covers the cost of the item if less than $20. just don’t refund the buyer right away.. eBay will issue the refund then you can request payment via the insurance they offer

    @2ray_degenemax @ahiychmpsm eBay is likely the least headache, but assume it will be opened by customs. If you have a bunch of trouble finding a good source I’ll happily hit a 7-11 and send you the whole line up, but private shipping is $$$ corporate is $, so eBay will probably be cheaper

    @Hellaorganics I love whatnot. It’s the best place to go for items especially when you don’t have the time or ability to head to a card show or lcs. eBay is cool for somethings but on whatnot, you can get steals, have amazing selections, see rare items or, depending on the seller, get a real good look at the cards prior to buying. Some buyers love swirls so they highlight them for the buyers who care for it. I would never recommend rip n shipping but it’s there if you chose too. Whatnot has very good technical support and a legit check system. And the best part is that all I have to do is sit my fat *** down, use my fat *** finger and swipe to get something I want and delivered to my doorstep. I don’t have to use up gas and my time to potentially get disappointed.

    @larrykingundead @Wozniat I don't know how many people thought Superman was going stay dead. But i remember people who thought that issue was going be worth big money. And you get a sealed black polybag for 20 bucks on ebay today. lol. You really should only collect something unless your really enjoy it.

  • ThomAquinas77

    @alt_w_v_g I had a nice little t-shirt business for 20 years. Then Biden imposed some stupid business requirement that required paying a law firm to fill out a form for $200. That was bad enough. They ebay told me the address on my form was incorrect. A couple of weeks later. Nope, still not correct. They shut down my site. A month later. OK, never mind. What you sent was fine. "All of my listings are gone." "Oh, sorry. Don't worry. Your site isn't gone. The listings are saved in an Excel spreadsheet." 1,000 listings. I had been keeping the store open for retirement income, but I'm done. I'll be closing it down. It's not worth it.

    The unspoken 11 step pipeline of a "quick" Home Lab media server upgrade: 1. Notice a 3 second buffer on a local 4K stream. 2. Blame the OS. Decide to migrate to a bare metal Proxmox VE cluster. 3. Buy three refurbished Dell PowerEdge servers off eBay at 2 AM. 4. Hire an electrician to install a dedicated 30 amp circuit in the utility closet. 5. Spend an entire weekend configuring a Ceph storage pool for high availability. 6. Containerize the media stack using custom Kubernetes Helm charts. 7. Deploy Traefik reverse proxy with Wildcard Let's Encrypt via Cloudflare DNS challenge. 8. Spin up Prometheus and Grafana to monitor individual P core temps. 9. Route cluster failure alerts directly to your personal PagerDuty app. 10. Complete the migration after spending $2,800 and burning two weeks of PTO. 11. Watch your partner stream exactly one compressed 720p episode of Friends before falling asleep 6 minutes in.

    Anyone have an issue where your eBay listing is getting 0 views, but an exact same listing from someone else has tons of views and watchers? Mine is showing 0 viewers and been up for over 24 hours. Doesn’t even show in the search. @CardPurchaser
