  @SWATZ911 @eBay I’m an optimist so I think it’s probably genuine USPS issues. But I’m also a data guy so the data supports increased scamming.

  @CeeChampion Lol, aye. I recall there being a problem with 'the post' when I bought the Cleese and Skinner books a few years ago. That took a few attempts. eBay can be hit n miss.

  @WaxMetrix @MikeDeGilio @eBay That’s the rub. Got a PC 1/1 a few months ago, card arrived half out of the card saver just like yours. Didn’t want to return it because the card was worth well over what I paid. Just want a broken system to be fixed. We open all eBay authenticated cards on video now. 3 of last 5 cards have had this same issue. Luckily all have survived without damage.

  @WaxMetrix @eBay I don’t understand why that keeps happening. Why hasn’t eBay fixed that yet? When people hope it skips authentication because it might get damaged is a problem @eBay

  @DaveKluge Good job! My USB/Aux port on my 2012 Toyota RAV4 went out, and the local shop quoted me $200 to fix it. I found the part online, bought it on Ebay - new - for $15 with free shipping. It took 2 minutes to replace with a YouTube how-to video.

  People have zero patience when ordering $1.99 eBay ESUS cards Give it more than 7 days before filing a claim - the mail is slow as hell.

  @snacks_fruity2 Will Gamespot by ANY/ALL old games? I imagine you'd have trouble selling many of those games for ANY PRICE if you listed them on someplace like Ebay? I considered getting rid of all my old consoles/games/accessories a while ago, but all anyone wanted was the SNES stuff.

  Marlon Everington (@MarlonEveringt1) reported 22 minutes ago

  @Firebreather452 That split is bullshit as it's only for new games only. If you count all sales from eBay and other second hand shops not to mention private sales. Physical sales would far out way digital sales. Problem is it's impossible to track all the second hand sales of games.

  @erickstevens82 Eric I just read that Sony is going to stop making physical games. Terrible news! I play my NBA2K25 nonstop... and I paid a fraction for it on eBay ... I presume the owner of it upgraded to 2k26. Games will be far more expensive without physical copies.

  The funny thing about this is that considering PlayStation will continue to ship physical code in a box (a blatant move to skate by regulators from monopoly claims), this will probably result in the same issue. eBay sellers inflating prices of sealed delisted games.

  moerscards (@moerscards) reported 41 minutes ago

  @WaxMetrix @eBay As long as you haven't broken the void seal - contact ebay and tell them that you want a refund bc the card was damaged by their authentication team. The first thing they are going to do is go to the seller and ask if they will accept a refund for the item. If the seller declines, which they should, ebay will come back to you and offer you a discounted price. You can negotiate this. If you don't want the card they will have to eat it, if you do you should be able to get a significant amount off. Do not take the fall for their lack of accountability. To have a team of people who can authenticate an item and be experts in what they do but not know how to ship something properly in 2026 is ridiculous. Don't let them off the hook. Don't ever surrender (Churchill voice).

  AMERICAN MAKER IS BUYING BROKEN XBOXES FOR $187 AND TURNING THEM INTO A 16GB GDDR6 AI FARM ON HIS KITCHEN TABLE One kitchen. One floral tablecloth. Six gutted consoles. Xbox Series X APU. AMD Zen 2 8-core. RDNA 2, 12 TFLOPS. 16GB GDDR6 unified per box. $187 broken on eBay, one blue Ethernet cable each. Most devs drop $479 on a single RTX 4060 Ti 16GB and stop there. He gutted six dead consoles for $1,122 total and got six times the VRAM. Pause at 0:03 — a $500 Microsoft SoC sitting next to a coffee cup on a floral tablecloth. The AI moat is a dead console and a screwdriver. Microsoft built a $499 inference node and thought it was a game machine. Full teardown in the video below.

  Your competitors reprice constantly. You can't. So you either lose the sale or lose the margin. Built PriceLeap to fix that. AI agent monitors Amazon, Shopify, eBay and adjusts your prices in real time — within your margins, with full audit trails. No black box. No guesswork.

  @ThePokeMD This issue would be compensated from eBay with a request for, “package lost”. It was not sellers fault so this would fall under eBay’s insurance that you pay for.

  Scalpers 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 🌈

  @MikeysRetro No problem. The tracking is similar to ebay standard envelope, so it's not FULL tracking, but it helps.

  @foxenflask Your friend's framework is basically right. Let me take his questions in order. **Why stay under 10%.** Crossing 10% beneficial ownership makes GameStop a Section 16 insider in eBay — meaning short-swing profit rules apply: if GME ever sold within six months of a purchase, it would have to disgorge profits. That's a real risk if the bid fails and they want to exit. Ten percent is also the standard trigger threshold for activist-facing poison pills, so staying below it denies eBay a clean justification and keeps GME from getting frozen mid-accumulation. Note the structure they're using: GameStop holds part of its position through put/call pairs and has no voting or dispositive power over those shares unless physically settled — an option that only opened when the HSR condition was satisfied on June 3. So they can carry economic exposure beyond the reported stake while keeping *beneficial* ownership low. (Delaware §203's 15% "interested stockholder" freeze is the other ceiling, which is probably where your friend's 12.9% number came from — but Section 16 bites at 10%, five points earlier.) **Why no poison pill yet.** Almost certainly one exists "on the shelf" — pills can be adopted by board vote in a day, no shareholder approval needed. Boards don't adopt them preemptively because standing pills draw ISS/Glass Lewis fire and withhold campaigns, and adopting one now would undercut eBay's messaging that the proposal is "neither credible nor attractive" — you don't build a moat against something you've called not credible. Expect a pill within 48 hours of either GME crossing ~10% or a Schedule TO hitting EDGAR, likely with a trigger set just above GME's grandfathered position. **After the Schedule TO.** Because half the consideration is GME stock, GameStop also needs an effective S-4 (that's why everything's being filed under Rule 425 now). The offer must stay open 20+ business days. eBay's board must file a Schedule 14D-9 within 10 business days recommending for, against, or neutral. Then the board's playbook: adopt the pill (which mechanically blocks consummation — no one triggers a pill), "just say no" under Delaware's Airgas precedent, sue over disclosure, seek a white knight, or do a defensive recap/buyback. The pill means the tender itself can't close over the board's objection — it becomes a referendum and pressure device. Cohen's actual path to closing runs through a proxy fight to replace directors who'd redeem the pill, which is why he keeps saying "this will be resolved by shareholders" and the board "cannot run and hide forever". **The $500M question.** He almost certainly can't put it into EBAY stock. Once substantial steps toward a tender offer exist, Rule 14e-3 bars anyone with material nonpublic info about the offer from trading the target's stock — the exemption covers the offering *person* (GameStop the corporation), not Cohen individually. Personal EBAY purchases would also risk forming a 13(d) "group" with GME, aggregating stakes toward every threshold above. So the wise deployment is into **GME**: half the offer is GameStop stock, so the deal's value to eBay holders rises and falls with GME's price. A large, disclosed personal buy right after the S-4/TO launch (post-disclosure, so no MNPI window issue) directly supports the exchange ratio and answers the credibility attack — which he's already been previewing rhetorically, contrasting himself with eBay insiders who he says sold over $120M while buying nothing. So yes — your friend's conclusion holds. Creeping to 12.9% buys nothing except Section 16 exposure and a pill pretext. The leverage is in the tender-plus-proxy-fight route, with the sub-10% stake as anchor. One caveat since I know you've got real money in the GME wheel: this is deal-mechanics analysis, not a prediction of outcomes — hostile bids of this size fail more often than they succeed, and I'm not in a position to tell you how to position around it.

  @kickmurdersquad @eBay_UK I’ve reinstalled many times, but it doesn’t fix the problem. Seems to have started since all this eBay live stuff started. Don’t think the app can deal with it.
