r a t z o n e 🐀🎀🎂 (@fascinationstrt) reportedI don't know why but I'm rapidly developing a fixation on finding old *** issues of nat geo magazine I'm getting to the point of seriously considering paying the frankly ridiculous prices on ebay because I might die if I don't get my hands on more soon

Zlatan1985 (@Zlatans1985) reported@Footy_Headlines currently 15% off the new #AVFC adidas originals range on the Fanatics uk ebay page with code HOORAY15 too for the items without the price glitch like the hoodie and trousers too

Tomorrow, and other days I remember (@tomorrow99529) reported@BowTiedBroke Similar thing happened to me on eBay. Fraudulent claim, eBay banned me from selling the product and no response or fix even when I showed them the 35 sellers (Chinese) listing the same product (

November 🍂 (@r_nvmber) reported@RaisinTcg To the Moon 🚀 and I’ll tell you what I wasn’t told when I pulled my 1st manga. It’s a speed game. Grade fast ( yes it’s more expensive but that doesn’t matter you’ll make the money back) sell fast. ( don’t accept the PSA offer. Currently they are at 40% so multiply whatever number they hit you with by 60% and that’s the true value of the card) Selling on eBay will take 7 days to sell and 7 days to get your money. Strategize accordingly. If you sell IRL you will find a buyer but you’ll also have trouble explaining the funds down the line. Your choice based on what your end goal is. Good luck and GOD SPEED 🫡

AiMind (@AIMind_Ai) reported6 dead office PCs at $50 each run a Kubernetes cluster that AWS would bill $10,000 a year for. Most home labs die before they boot. Someone specs a Xeon. Prices 128GB of RAM. Opens 40 tabs. Buys nothing. The build that actually runs is uglier than that. HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Mini. Corporate castoffs, dumped on eBay by the pallet every time an office refreshes. $50 a unit, sold stripped. 16GB of RAM and a 256GB NVMe put each one back to work. 35W chips. All 6 idle under 100W. k3s on top, not kubeadm. 1 binary, 512MB of RAM. node1 starts the cluster. node2 and node3 join as servers. That is 3 etcd members, so losing one kills nothing. 6 nodes. 17 namespaces. 173 pods. CPU idling at 4.6%. The same cluster on EKS: 6 t3.xlarge at $121 a month, plus $73 for the control plane. $9,636 a year. $300 once. And it did not start there. The first server was a retired gaming PC headed for a closet. The right first machine is the one already collecting dust. Stop planning the rack. Start having fun.

the pervert (@Iloveshotgunz) reportedIn middle school they never let me have a locker even after paying then one time when I brought it up to the principal again he told me to "go buy one on eBay if it matters so much" but id also get in trouble for carrying my backpack everywhere

Dr. Brouk (@DrBrouk) reported@eBay @depop Frustrating, @eBay. I see a charge I need help with, but apparently speaking to an actual human being is nearly impossible. Instead, I’m sent in circles through useless AI agents and endless links that don’t resolve the issue. Need a HUMAN BEING. #eBay #CustomerService

tess (@nunshabit) reported@TheWarRoomNZ 'Castle Doctrine'.... covered under S 55 of The Crimes Act. We have window-decals placed all round our house depicting a Cowboy on horseback holding a rifle in the air. Text reads.... "INSURED BY WINCHESTER" Never once have we been broken into. Got them off ebay.

GeekyBoarders (@GeekyBoarders) reportedRippaverse is on track to make over $5 Million in revenue for 2026. Ethan Van Sciver has not only earned nothing outside of petty superchats, $1000 cover commissions, and ebay firesales, he has halted production on all of his comics because he can't afford to finish and fulfill them. Chicken ***** Shane Davis is in the shitter. Sunk 20-30k into BackHoleMeBro and is not going to end up making a profit off of that mess. Shane is going to be getting his backhole blown out both financially, and his reputation, for the next 2-3 years over that site until he quietly packs packs it up or triples down and goes into bankruptcy. Fat Horse Mandy Summers is starting to rack up a serious glut of unfilled books. She is approaching Ethan Van Sciver levels, and she has dragged Dale Keown's reputation into the mud with her as, the comic legend, Dale Keown, is now OFFICIALLY sitting on a late book that he owes backers. Worst of all, it's not even the coveted Pitt Omnibus. It's a single-volume trade paperback filled with ****** scans of old comic pages. You can get Pitt Trade Paperbacks RIGHT NOW for like $15 and they're from Image Comics, a real comic book company. And those use the original paint files so the art will be clear and crisp. Mandy is too stupid to pay Image Comics to get access to the original paint files and do the high-quality Pitt Omnibus that fans have been wanting since the 90s. With friends like Mandy, Dale doesn't need enemies. Dale would be in a better position if he had just left Pitt in the grave. No omnibus at all is better than this both for the fans and for Dale Keown's reputation. Ethan Van Sciver and his zeros are still LIMPING in 2026 and they still have 4 more months to fall even further. The BackMeBro Era of comicsgate is proving to be the worst one yet.

dragon harpoon🕺 (@pissedpant) reported@Izzytr0n I was gonna go to Best Buy and get one but their selection and prices were terrible. I used to have one of those micro SDs with the full size adapter and of course I lost it lol. I finally pulled the trigger on an MPC one from eBay so I actually have a use for SD cards.

Zach Alt (@ZachAltmyer) reportedA2A tips (discontinued product edition): 1. Set alerts (FlipAlert, Keepa, etc.) on all discontinued products. You never know when Amazon will find a box in the back of their warehouse 2. Don’t buy deep right away just because you found out it was discontinued. Check how much total inventory is floating around at Amazon and other retailers first. I’ve made the mistake of jumping in way too early and tying up cash flow for months 3. For health & beauty items, put in a small order to check expiration dates before committing capital. It tells you how much time you have to sell through before you’re stuck holding expired product 4. If you have a buy and hold that has an order quantity limit, you can order 27 per week to keep stacking 5. Products going in and out of stock is a sign a product can be discontinued, especially if it can’t be found at any other major retailers. If these two line up, I like to reach out to the brand to confirm 6. If you can’t find the product on the brand’s own website, it’s a good sign it’s discontinued. Not guaranteed since some brands are just slow to update or reorganizing their site but it’s a good first check before digging further 7. Set alerts for third party sellers too. Sometimes a 3P seller doesn’t realize a product is discontinued or lists it lower by mistake and you can flip it back on eBay 8. Put your top items in the saved for later list. Sometimes you can catch Amazon in stock before monitors and alerts go off 9. Check if the discontinued product has a replacement or reformulation. If people still want the original over the new version, that opens up opportunity. If there’s no replacement at all, even better 10. Discontinued isn't always permanent. Brands can bring products back with new packaging, size changes, or just changing their minds. Always verify but don't assume discontinued always means gone forever

KillahKali707 (@Killahkali7o7) reported@ObjIFDividends As much as they suck if you deny it they will prob try and do an inad next id probably just take the return and relist since its only 10$ . How has your eBay account been the last couple months ? I went from 7-10 sales a week to maybe 1-3 and had a two week span in July with no sales it's been slow it seems

KAN (@kancewe) (@kancewe) reportedOne particular card I keep in my eBay search constantly has the wrong card #. With as many as I have seen, it has to be intentional deception, right? CPA vs CRA. As advanced as eBay is becoming, it should be able to catch the “error”, right? 🤔 #GottaDoYourDD @CardPurchaser

Unnamed US Official (@ediblesticker) reportedWe talked about things like this on bbs server rooms in 1995. I bought a manual off eBay in 01 with logins and pass credentials to a Siemens system. They turned out to be defaults. And here we are in tyool 2026.

Headband Jokic (@HeadbandJokic) reportedWatch out as an eBay Live seller for a user named: teel_5457 Running bids up and taking down over a dozen in a row and kept refusing to pay for the ones he won before bidding on more. Poor seller was about to lose his mind. #TheHobby

THE Pittsburgh Pete (@Pittsburgh1Pete) reported@RedskinsArsenal Hell no. There may be a bubble, but it hasn’t hit yet. I did sell my all aces card if that’s what you’re referring to, 400 for a raw with 70k+ print run just doesn’t seem sustainable. The all aces card post was showing numbers coming down, but I think someone was manipulating the postings on eBay

🍌🦘🅼🅰🅶🅸🅲🅰🅻𝑀𝓎𝓈𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓎🍌⚾️🏈🏀 (@magmystical2023) reported@SelfMadeMastery Apple is now maxing out at 96GB of RAM. You can find 128GB Mac Studio on eBay for under $5000. It's a better investment and can load 70B models no problem. $1600 on a Mac Mini is not a bargain anymore. When it was $399 that was a different story.

Alice 🌊❤️🔥🌒 (@Alice82669242) reportedI say, if you want to know how the economy is doing, go to eBay - I had to go to eBay just to see if the toilet paper issue was getting better. Everyone has to have good hygiene

ShipGenius (@ShipGenius) reported4/ This hits offices shipping samples, eBay sellers, and anyone who "usually" knows the box size. Usually is how audit bills get born. Write the dims down. Reuse the SKU pack. Stop padding for luck.
-
ShipGenius (@ShipGenius) reported4/ eBay tables, side hustles, and garage sellers hit this when rate cards flip mid-year. The fix is multi-carrier quotes on the real box. Not a trip to the landscaping aisle.

PrincessJustPrincess (@6ndqrps7ps) reported@grucciflipfl0ps @ItsJustN1ck No problem! Someone on eBay will be happy to get it for $30 instead of $60 :)

☣️ Flack The Ripper ☣️ (@FlackAtk) reported@meganarianism Lol I guess this reflects back into real life, Its way more convenient to just slap it up on ebay than individual FB groups, responding to messages and everything, but its like cmon, atleast fix the roads in Durotar....

Buns&Coffee (@schang76) reported@CEOAdam He is calling out $Ebay for being a corrupt accomplice in price gouging scalping crimes. All Ebay cares about is making their fees aka kickbacks. @ryancohen will fix that and bring business ethics back to these marketplaces. Blacklist those Stubs members!
