-
Thumb Out 42 (@42thumbout) reported@fbb4official @eBay Feels like RC sold us out driving the price down to absolute b**** numbers. What are your thoughts?
-
fity.eth (@Fityeth) reported@NetAxisGroup If eBay is really worth fixing for 55B, the problem might not be the platform… it might be the people rejecting the check.
-
Drunk Superman (@DrunkSuperman3) reported@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.

Leverage Monkey🐒 (No DM’s or paid group) (@LeverageMonkey) reported@Stonkfather2021 Correct EBay would dilute they would issue more shares so they wouldn’t own 51%. Also institutions need permission to own more than 20% of a publicly traded company. SEC filing and eBay will know about it if filed and will prepare to issue shares to dilute.

mr sedan🐸 (@w00perwatch) reported@oveRayster just check out the seller ratings before you buy! I’ve bought and sold a ton on there and only had an issue once but eBay refunded me in the end so it was alright

DCrease (@Dcrease13) reported@johnny_glue @heydomoshi @eBay One given 10x book... the other held down at cash for cash most of the time!
-
GME DaLoot (@gmeorbust0) reported@unusual_whales @SwamiKnows_ Lets be honest here, ebay hasnt advanced to the new digital age, they are stuck in 1990’s. Spending billions of $ and gaining only 1m new customers is terrible, doing stock buybacks with profits from raising sellers (customers) fees is a losing battle. Sellera will leave.
-
The New Mocha Joe (@TheNewMochaJoe) reported@CGasparino Must be getting the eBay deal. The market seems to be indicating that with GME down and eBay up.

Pokemaam (@poke_maam) reportedSellers all be saying bc @eBay is buyer friendly. It is not! Sucks both ways, benefiting bad actors but not genuine issues. Cases Ive lost: - Seller shipped slab in envelope with no protection. Cracked slab arrive. Seller reviews in revent month had many complaints about cracked slabs. Screenshotted reviews and my own cracked slab. I lost. Apparently multiple complaints from many buyers dont matter to ebay. - Seller sent me a PSA 8 instead of PSA 9, opened a case, wrote to seller and seller said he would refund. Went dead. Window for refunds closed on the MiA. Wrote to ebay, says no refund even though wrong item sent. Im sure everyone on both the buyer and seller sides have their own ebay horror stories. So indeed, they are ready for disruption. Fees are less an issue if service is good. Often wonder if they have an actual human reviewing cases.

NonMundane (@n0nmundan3) reportedOk, this is a warning about @ebay Now they will lie to you in many ways. One of the most important ways is any way in which they will claim to empower you as a seller, but actually will punish you for being a problem. They have something called "defects" and they can't WAIT to

Ardiz (@ARDIZsq) reported@Pirat_Nation “The physical disc would likely stop working afterword.” Cool, so make a digital copy, ruin the physical release entirely, now you can either scam on eBay or have a working copy and charge 20x the price, making piracy a bigger issue than ever before. Brilliant…

Nick Turco (@NickTurco919) reportedeBay, 2013. Listing: men’s polo button down dress shirt Seller: MrsJohns1943 Description: “this was my husband’s favorite shirt. Unfortunately he passed away this year so I am selling it. Too many memories. Free of stains/smells”
-
OtakuBubba 🇺🇸 (@OtakuBubba) reported@alt_w_v_g Just my 2 Cents, but a big problem plaguing eBay right now is sellers who drop ship items from Amazon. Any seller that does this, I give them a neutral review. At one time, I went out of my way NOT to buy from Amazon, and it pi$$ed me off!

Bitcoin Dumb Money APE (@BTCDumbMoneyAPE) reported@ryancohen Please fix the seller fees! They are too high and it’s driving people crazy. Make eBay Great Again! 🇺🇸💰😎
-
bobby (@lisiraill) reported@PhantomBlack699 @birdzone24 @ryancohen GME holders cannot live on fresh air. We are entitled to make a profit the same way as Ryan Cohen makes profit on Apple stocks. It is not cool the way the GME holders are expected to live on a fresh air and go broke watching a billionaire talk about his baby in eBay, you can correct me if I am wrong explain to me how GME holders are meant to survive when the stock keeps going down. I know delusion was supposed to believe a billionaire.

Jay Bee (@Mordin04) reported@Alyssandriaaa @TCGplayer I stopped using TCGplayer last year after eBay shut down their Syracuse facility.

Mary Goglia - Indie Cartoonist Making Comics! (@mary_goglia) reportedWhoa! So cool!! Can’t wait to get my copy of Ben 10 in the mail. Missed out on issue one but I bought it on eBay and subbing to the rest with my local comic shop!

denny (@dennyluan) reportedfunny story, bluebird SRs ran a distributor instead of a coil pack, and the one on my donor engine was dead. in 2005 i posted on craigslist, and tracked down a spare ECU in Everett, WA from a 70 year old man who collected 240sx's. he was a millionaire from selling old farmland he bought in the 1950s, and for fun he built a barn with two working lifts just to restore S13 240sx's to showroom condition with all OEM parts. he had probably 10+ in various states that once finished he'd just sell to random people. he had a separate barn with a hidden sliding door with a room full of spare parts he collected off ebay. i spent a day with him driving back and forth between his farms to try and find the part. ive always wondered what happened to him, and regretted not staying in touch. pic of the beat up dodge colt he drove.

Protect the Cats (@Toycat470772) reported@alt_w_v_g eBay has its problems, sure. But I don't want the guy that turned Gamestop into the funko pop store trying to "fix" it. Ironically any game can be found cheaper on eBay than Gamestop.
-
Beebo (@BeeboGoystein) reported@pinglyadya If goyim stopped buying scalped packs, the scalpers would move onto something else after sets pile up in their apartment. The problem is Pokemon fans are the lowest form of consumer cattle ever and will cry about scalpers while simultaneously buying out all their ebay listings.
-
Alex Trigger (@AlexTrigger10) reported@userofintellect I'm pretty sure Cohen still plans to buy Ebay - he looked quite determined. BUT I also had a suspicion that was his secondary objective, the first being to have short make a mistake. And it looks like they made that mistake on Monday. $56 bn (!!!) market cap 'glitch' on BRK-B...
-
whatever (@macncheetos) reported@alt_w_v_g I still sell stuff on ebay. I'm not a big company. I don't pay anything extra on top of standard fees. I have no issues. You and RC are yelling at clouds while ebay grows revs, does buybacks, pays dividends, gme shrinks revs, dilutes, charges for a dividend
-
Nicholas A. Pantano (@npantano_) reported@TheMagnifishit @THIS_TIME_X I 100% agree with you. My counter and entire point, is the scenario Cohen is drawing up only works if Ebay agrees he can bring them a ton of company value post merger. Because they are essentially bending the knee if the stock portion was post merger derived. And they turned him down, so it looks like they don’t believe he can bring that value right? So I’m just letting people know the reading the initial on paper proposal he doesn’t have the funds today.

bad robot (@foxenflask) reportedBe Like Jamie Iannone, CEO of $EBAY - Slip, fall and land at Booz Allen Hamilton, the consulting firm of choice for people who want a prestigious first line on their résumé - Join Epinions dot com just in time for it to get absorbed into irrelevance - Spend eight years at eBay as a VP, accumulate titles, leave no memorable legacy, walk out the door - Become EVP at Barnes & Noble's Nook division, watch sales crater 61%, depart with two other senior executives just before the full reckoning arrives - Get promoted to COO of Walmart U.S. eCommerce, hold that title for three weeks, jump ship to eBay - Become eBay CEO in April 2020 on the strength of a collapsed e-reader division and a month of Walmart COO experience - Coin the phrase "tech-led reimagination" and repeat it for five years - Inherit a campus pub called "The Sellar" serving free beer and wine daily from 3 PM to 6 PM, built at company expense as a replica of your predecessor's favorite Manhattan bar, inside a company whose culture federal court documents described as one of "heavy drinking" pervasive throughout the workday - Inherit the fallout from your predecessor's security chief, Jim Baugh, ex-CIA operative, who ran a terror campaign against newsletter journalists involving live spiders, cockroaches, a fetal pig, a funeral wreath, death threats, pornographic magazines sent to neighbors, and a 3,000-mile surveillance drive to Massachusetts in a black van - Watch seven eBay employees convicted, Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison, eBay hit with six felony charges and the maximum $3 million criminal fine, ordered to address "consumption of alcohol to excess on Company premises," and keep The Sellar open anyway - Watch the victims settle just before trial after seeking $466 million in punitive damages - Collect $144 million in compensation over six years, never buy a single share of eBay stock, and execute 53 insider transactions, all sales, offloading $71.59 million in gifted shares - Redefine GMV, call a $13 billion annual impact "immaterial," then when restated buyer figures still look bad, stop reporting active buyers altogether and pivot to metrics you define and control - Preside over 16 consecutive quarters of active buyer counts below Q1 2018 levels, watching the total fall from 163 million to 136 million, padding that last number with 1 million acquired via Tise - Raise seller fees every single year, build ad revenue to a nearly $2 billion annualized run rate by changing attribution so one click triggers fees on every subsequent sale for 30 days, sending seller ad costs from 30-40% to 80-90%+ of sales with no increase in actual returns - Mask GAAP operating margin declining from 37.6% in 2020 to 20.8% in 2025 by always leading with the non-GAAP figure, making the business look 5-6 points healthier than it is - Lay off 500, then 1,000, then 800 employees while your own pay grows - Acquire TCGplayer for $295 million, watch its employees unionize, hire a union-busting law firm, strip workers' rights language from your own human rights policy, lose every NLRB case, and only bargain when legally forced - Acquire Depop for $1.2 billion, a company losing $54 million on $128 million in revenue that Etsy already wrote down by $425 million, call it a Gen Z strategy, ignore Morgan Stanley projecting it won't break even until 2028 - Sell 343,000 banned emissions defeat devices and 23,000 illegal pesticides years after federal cease-and-desist orders, then schedule a sustainability media blitz the same afternoon the DOJ files suit - Have Ryan Cohen and $GME offer $125 per share, a 46% premium and an all-time high valuation, and reject it as "neither credible nor attractive" while margins decline, buyers leave, and your latest acquisition loses money - Have Cohen note you took $144 million and bought zero shares while he invested $128 million of his own money and draws no salary - Call it a comeback - Keep selling your stock 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Sobriquet (@sobriquet42) reported@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.

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reportedImportant to note: seller reports of being randomly charged ad fees for months old orders started coming in on June 6, 2025. Date on the eBay community staff "system error" post: June 12, 2025. So it took 6 days for $EBAY to come up with that nonsense, making this a perfect example of not only predatory ad practices but terrible customer service too. 👎

135.x (@135dotx) reported@BikesAndVidya @baldlyrudy I bet it's really easy to cut & solder one in. I assume you'd probably have to Dremel the back out. Would be a fun mod for a broken eBay controller or something.
-
Simon (@GMOSALMON99) reported@npantano_ @idiosyncraticr7 The terrible news will be we own 10%+ of ebay and are up 500 million on the calls. I was planning to sell my June contracts this week but they absolutely scammed ******** out of gme this week.
-
Hilson Valli (@HilsonValli) reported@CHILIKIWInft Ebay is "poorly managed"? The share price is up 147% since Nov 2022. GME share price is down over the same period. I think the institutional investors can understand that difference. Cohen is acting like a spurned lover. Immature and bitter.

JTS (@jtshaseo) reported@Arliee11 Yeah I found a Japanese ebay seller that sells used or open box or broken figures and they had a whole bunch I've been looking for... like some magical girl lyrical nanoha figures from Alter and some queens blade figures I don't have. So now I do :3
