Teddy.com (@teddy__com) reportedThe position we are in was so predictable. What @ryancohen could have done with $10b is buy stocks that are depressed, companies he could have easily improved, and the smaller companies would have loved his help. No dilution. Those stocks would instantly moon the second $GME got involved. @michaeljburry recommended this exact playbook. He could have deployed all $10b this way and genuinely helped a bunch of $1-2b companies double their EBITDA or more - or even just made very strong, passive investments. Then could have easily just kept these notes. Instead he Leroy Jenkins’d his *** and all of us right into the line of fire. Why did he do that? It’s such a head scratcher and there are very few options. Option 1: he has an ego flaw. $EBAY turned his help down in 2023 and this has always been about @eBay. And he couldn’t focus on MAXIMIZING shareholder value, because his focus was on buying eBay. Option 2: something more nefarious / bailing out hedge funds. Option 3: he has been lining up an eBay partnership via activist campaign. Option 4: he’s setting up a corporate squeeze. None of these questions answer why he would do a VWAP deal, at this specific moment in time, except option 2 or 4. That’s why I believe he is either setting up a squeeze or he’s a hedgie crony. That’s also why if the warrants do not print, I will be bailing. The warrants are the line in the sand.

MBedd (@mbedd) reported@rayrayishappy @VLolosOfficiel 1/2 maybe,,,This is the problem with the Indie comics stuff. I got a wonderful USA postage deal with a seller on ebay recently, grabbed some stuff I missed out on the first time...
-
Bernard 🇮🇪 (@BernardJKD) reported@bbyfacemarch @PulpLibrarian Were there many issues please? Wouldn't mind buying a job lot of The Twilight Zone magazines on ebay (job lot needed as it was a US only publication) but they are likely too pricey.
-
mars ➡️ 1000 Years in the Pain Cube (@catboiardee) reportedHey @ebay, how do I contact a supervisor or have your agents actually listen to me and escalate an issue? I already used your contact me page. The agents are sending me generic emails and flat out lying to me instead of helping me.
-
Heckballa💥 (@Hezzballa) reported@NachoZombie2 A fellow user on here suggested ebay for “parts only” models for dirt cheap because more times than not it’s a minor fix that you probably already know how to fix if you have a pulse
-
shrek is love, mugler is life❤️🔥 (@itsbleekerxox) reported@alliharvard tbh i see them super cheap all over etsy and ebay now!! do it while they're down. they fluccuate.
-
OKlm (@O_klme) reported@TerpCards @EFCSankey @eBay I will appreciate any feedback or follow up please because it’s a terrible mess and I think they don’t know how to fix this… Thanks 🙏🏻
-
West Coast 🌮'z (@westcoastacoz) reportedLooks like the market is trying to avg Ryan down on his EBAY bet, no way he ain't buying a bigger piece right now, probably doubling those options right now.

-
Dram McCloudigan (@dreamcloudigan) reported@DeanAndrew21454 @ryancohen eBay turned down the offer calling it not credible. My guess is options are printing. GameStop is a fully operational hedge fund you know. And you know who GameStop hired? The goddamn best

Alain (@alain_casaubon) reported@eBay Hi! My Mexican RFC tax profile was just validated, but my seller account is still stuck with a 20% withholding glitch. Also, your email support is bouncing my replies with a 'Connection refused' error. Can you please send me a DM to manually fix my tax rate? Thanks!

🇲🇽 Not AI 🇺🇸 (@MisteReyX) reportedJust wait for when the hype dies down, love physical, but how many of these people aren't just protesting, ****, ppl selling them on eBay is proof they don't really care.
-
Try me ***** (@maniacthrow1) reportedRyan should make a new offer for eBay for 45 billion and the next time they say no it should be pushed down to 40 billion.
-
A͛s͛h͛ ⚔ (@babe_whatswrong) reported@sax_n_violets Some repair shops exist that could fix it. You could DIY it and buy the parts, learning to solder is tricky. You could ship it out and have someone fix it for you OR you could just buy a refurbished/new unit on eBay with some mods already installed in it.
-
Roll (@RolandasKol) reported@dantomlinsonmp No free parking = no shopping. Simples. Local shops already cost more than eBay/Amazon. Now you want me to pay the council extra for the privilege of dodging junkie vomit and broken pavements? Nah. I’ll shop online

Porter Pierce jr (@Porterpiercejr) reported@TonyClimate @eBay Only PayPal for those. Always solved my problems
-
Richie paul (@Richiepaul7699) reported@TonyClimate @eBay I manage to speak to a real person all the time. Never had any issues on eBay
-
Brian Stewart (@brianandst) reported@picstoral @TonyClimate @eBay No they won’t. They did it to me for $280. They took the side of the seller AND they took down my (accurate) bad review.
-
Dut (@Dut83) reported@TonyClimate @eBay Had same problem. My item didn’t show up. I used PayPal for the purchase and they did all the heavy lifting once I knew it was a scam. They contacted the seller and got no response. Couple weeks later I had my funds back in my account.
-
KratosII (@OSRSKratosII) reported@TexasTSLA That’s the going rate now. They quoted me 6k for a ac compressor replacement. I’ve done countless though my life and Tesla ac systems are no different and there’s plenty of room. Was quoted $800 to fix the broken sensor from my seatbelt connector. $40 eBay fix right there
-
NaysGameOpinions (@naysgameopinion) reportedDude, I remember when I was young, I used to be OBSESSED with eBay. Just now bought a game I've been looking for forever, CIB, with the registration card as well, and got the price down to $20...I think I might be getting addicted again.
-
Sam | ABC Trading Cards (@ABCTradingCards) reported@TheMauiWowi For eBay standard envelope I just put a card in a penny sleeve, into a toploader, then into a team bag. I then put that into a small envelope then into a bigger envelope. Never had any issues with damages
-
NVSportsCards (@NVSportsCards) reported@allset24 you could "fix" those 26,000 ebay listings with a relatively simple MS Excel formula and then re-upload with the Edit form in Seller Reports. Also, what do you do with duplicates? Batch number gets you to the batch, but then that doesnt allow for duplicate cards in the batch.
-
Darul (@ZombieCurse666) reported@TerpCards @eBay Same problem for me popped up yesterday, was on chat support my account is perfect and nothing else 24-48 it should be fixed if not then contact again…
-
MariusGage (@For_Macragge) reported@Velrunar I can appreciate that, I do. I only order from the store if there is a queue now and even then it’s usually a shitshow, the last time was the Era of Ruin and we all know how well that went down. But I don’t think the majority go to scalpers, I don’t even think it’s close. They’re usually about 1500 books sold and barely 100 ever end up on eBay. No, I truly believe the problem is “I want a nice looking bookshelf” collectors. If we could some how only let people who read these books buy them they’d never sell out.

recite the plan (@recitetheplan) reported@DanielMarkham They’re actually pretty rare these days I picked this one up for 20 bucks on eBay from an Utah garage I knew I could sand and paint the rust damage. Next up my Roland GP-100 to take apart and clean so I can start tracking I’m a month behind schedule stupid broken eye
