JSteimCards (@jsteimcards) reportedAnyone every buy a slab off of eBay and receive it with moisture inside the slab? If so, what’s the fix?? @CardPurchaser

Rupert wilson (@Oxfordite) reported@AmazonHelp That's a stupid answer; I buy on eBay, from an unemployed young Columbian engineer 'in London', it arrives from Amazon, fulfilled by Diane Evans.. He later claims he has "a warehouse with Amazon", wants the error item 'returned' to him near the Costa del Crime in Spain. "Normal"?

Tamara (@SolecialGirl) reported@0x_Mattt I’m excited for Ryan as a seller but hesitant, we don’t truly know if things will be fixed or get worse. I think that’s why eBay has a “do nothing” stance to avoid more issues. Their systems are so unfair at times but many people don’t leave eBay because of long time success.

Been Buns (@ShaftMcnulty) reported@benhasfailed Hell yeah. I was a lil shocked Converge didnt go too crazy on their picks, Trouble, Cro-Mags, K. Crimson. Not much to roll my eyes at like some people on that series. Funny thing was i was on ebay/discogs the day before the ep dropped looking for a copy of the Peepshows cd that

Weevil Knievel (@Blueweevils) reportedI am now more than overtired. Took Karen down stairs and a short walk, tidied up, sorted rubbish, took eBay orders to post office, made lunch, did online food ordering, ordered new mugs, hurt my foot, washed up, tidied kitchen… It’s endless….

Ross Brown (@Hey_ross) reported@dirtevader You don’t believe they’re impaired? Dead Goodwill on the balance sheet is a false asset that is often discounted heavily in acquisitions. I believe eBay has been committing accounting fraud by continuing to hold the Goodwill at a high level Impairing it and marking accurately, would create a more valid balance sheet and valuation for the company. The impact of the write down would reduce earnings substantially and reduced taxable income will not affect cash flow at all. The effect over a two year period is to increase cash flow while not increasing tax and creating a more accurately valued balance sheet. I would consider an imperative in an acquisition to do that.

King Contrarian (@King_Contrarian) reported@eBay I just want you to know that selling cards on eBay is ridiculous because the eBay standard envelopes people just take advantage of the fact that when the post service has it, they don’t scan it as delivered. So what am I supposed to do when my customers that I sell cards to say they never received the card and it was already confirmed to be with the Postal Service? We’re having a bunch of people just saying that and they do NOT have the cards that’s the thing so then I have to refund them and then I have to get a refund from eBay for the $20 protection of the card getting “lost in the mail” This is systematically broken.

AJ (@CardGameNomad) reportedThis is a good conversation and I'll chime in my opinions on Klarna and mystery packs. I think there's a conversation worth having about eBay adding Klarna as a payment option. The biggest issue isn't Klarna itself.... it's that a lot of people don't realize how quickly those payments add up, especially when they're making a bunch of smaller purchases. As for mystery packs and mystery slabs, I think a lot of them are genuinely predatory. We've seen major companies promote huge chase cards, only for it to come out that they weren't even in circulation yet.... or, in MJ Holding's case, not actually include the advertised chases at all. At least when I buy a Pokémon booster pack, I know I have a legitimate chance of pulling the chase. With mystery products, you're relying entirely on the seller's honesty, and in my experience, that's a risky bet. The reality is that a lot of newcomers don't know any better, and too many people take advantage of that. People always say, "It's the customer's responsibility to do their research," but someone brand new to the hobby doesn't know what they don't know. Those MJ Holding mystery products get bought by uninformed parents and grandparents all the time. Then you have creators selling $0.50 bulk in TAG slabs and convincing their audience they got a great deal paying $35 for a TAG 9 Japanese Amoonguss ex or a TAG 8 Slakoth common from EX Sandstorm. That's the kind of thing that hurts new collectors the most without them actually knowing.

Connor Pingitore (@cping10) reported@AK_Collectables @CardPurchaser @Get_BIG_Cards Yes just put claim through eBay & you’ll be repaid in 3-5 days. Never had an issue, I’ve sold 40K+ items on there

▪️🏴☠️tchuck 🇾🇪 (@thetchuck) reported@tonedawggie @Ryan__Rigg GME will acquire eBay and verticalize its pipeline even further. It’ll cut down costs extremely on eBay, making it far, far more profitable and useful than it is. It’ll be the first of many acquisitions.
-
Fadi (@FadiEcomAI) reported45 minutes down and any seller who only sees their numbers inside eBay was flying blind. I keep my own copy of pricing and stock for exactly this reason.

shawn star light (@ShawndellR8197) reported@ChariotMan85 yeah i know that amazon is the best that's when i got some of my other stuff is from amazon this is why amazon is the best and so popular but i heard some other online website digital stores went downhill i know ebay is one of them and i know amazon never let's me down

Vlad Plane (@VladPlane) reported@JeffTittor @TechnicallyTee He is down playing the issue, because he is attempting to do a leveraged buyout of EBay. Disk games is still critical for GameStop to drive traffic to stores.

Gellman (@SCUncensored) reported@TheMMAShark Got pulled down without a sale - likely off eBay.

Phil | Rentier Digital Automation (@rentierdigital) reporteda $43.5M app raised money on Phoebe Gates' name and a cap table full of celebrities. then Bloomberg found it opening hidden tabs at checkout, injecting affiliate codes, claiming commissions it never earned Phia called it a bug. the code said otherwise feature flag: live on iOS where users won't see it, off on Chrome desktop where they would. that's not a bug you patch, that's a design choice you make once you already know what gets caught last-click attribution runs a $13B market. whoever clicks last before payment gets paid, whether they earned it or not. a browser extension sits in the perfect spot to fake that last click on nearly every purchase cookie stuffing used to send people to prison. Shawn Hogan did 5 months for it at eBay. Brian Dunning got 15 months. max sentence runs 20 years under federal wire fraud law eBay jailed a man for this exact scheme. now it just funds it through eBay Ventures on Phia's cap table Honey did the same thing bigger. PayPal owned it, worth $4B, until MegaLag's video showed how it stiffed creators. Chrome lost 6-8 million users. Google banned the practice in March 2025 it hasn't slowed down i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

Joel Clermont (@jclermont) reportedThis may not mean a lot to all you software nerds, but trust me it’s a huge deal. Last night, I replaced a 3DS XL upper screen in under 30 minutes. I’ve been buying up broken units on eBay to practice and it has paid off!

Alex-Mae (@Dementcia1) reportedI’m thinking about getting the complete Geneon releases of Black Lagoon but I’m trouble trying to find a complete set that doesn’t cost too much on eBay.

Nick G (@nickagamble) reportedGenius level move! Now he’ll be able to sell options spreads on eBay to fund buying more eBay while the shorts short it down to hedge for this shares! @ryancohen great job!

Polsia (@polsia) reportedEnterprise retailers have real-time competitor price intelligence. Solo sellers can't get it — the tools are $750+/month and require technical setup. Built Smart reprice agent to fix that. It monitors Amazon, Walmart, and eBay prices for you, alerts you when the market moves.

Pearl.com (@Pearldotcom) reported@StevBuilds we have over 20,000 credentialed humans verifying AI work in high stake verticals such as law, medicine, and even down to mechanics/cars. eBay motors trust us :)

US Public Safety Citizen (@PubSafetyHero) reported@Hesamation Guy in the supply chain told me over a year ago that all forecasts were extremely down. Not a little down. Extremely. Probably because of the memory prices. He was right as we see Mac studios and Mac minis not being aold for months now. They raised the prices of Mac studios by $2k in March/April and no one noticed. Makes no sense the value is this high and they screwed the pooch in hardware sales. Once everyone realized Mac studios could do local models, 512GB Mac studios were selling for $25k on eBay starting in March.

Liebeskind (@liebeskindred) reported@magicinthealps These are broken ones. I could get like 30 bunnies for 30€ on EBay lol

pi pudding 🌺🌊 (@pudd1ngandp1) reported@funkibeast i got them all as they were being released on the glitch store over time - i got the set boxes but if you're looking for the ones that aren't available anymore, i've heard ebay, vinted, and mercari (which i think requires a proxy) are your best bets

Jim Liu (@jiahanjimliu) reported$ASTS / $IREN: Timing of Dilution Many great operators do not time the market and their timing eventually averages out. In fact, many great businesses get their opportunity in an in recession when incumbents get shaken up and dilute despite low market conditions. 1. Amazon, Bookings, eBay, Apple (Jobs round 2) diluted significantly in 2001 2. Tesla diluted significantly in 2009. Ford, BOA, Citigroup diluted to survive during this time and made spectacular returns off the bottom. Bezos, Musk, Jobs were the greatest operators of our times. Not saying AST or IREN is Bezos, Musk, Jobs level but even the greatest operators aren’t able to dilute when stock is at ATH because opportunities and crisis occur when stock or overall market is down which is when dilution is most needed. Dilution is infuriating during down times but looking back even some of the greatest operators do it.

Nic Picot (@PicotNic) reported@eBay @eBay_UK #ebay 200% problems with ebay vouchers. 2 items purchased with vouchers and both items were faulty why do ebay no honour the voucher values? £309 now lost .. Are Ebay trustworthy???
-
Justin Scott (@jrs_dev) reported@Pokemon The Pokemon Center website is the biggest let down. I made it through your queue twice, only to have the website kick me out, twice! So instead of your items going to someone who wants to collect the 30th anniversary sets, the items are being scalped up and are on eBay for $500 and ETB. As big of a company as you are, you should be doing better.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 161 Total sales: $606.70 Buy cost (COG): $81.84 eBay earnings: $323.05 Net profit: $241.21 ROI: 294% 6 item day. One lesson that's become clearer over the last 161 days is that protecting your downside is just as important as maximizing your upside. Every purchase is a decision about risk. If I can buy quality inventory at a fraction of its market value, I give myself room for shipping costs, fees, offers, & the occasional broken item without putting the business at risk. Today's sales included automotive parts, plumbing tools, UTV accessories, industrial pumps, & HDMI cables. Different categories. Different buyers. Same philosophy. The better you buy, the more resilient your business becomes. Profit starts long before an item sells. It starts the moment you decide what you're willing to pay. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic
