  @lizzkelly7 That used to and might still happen a lot on ebay, people trying to sell their cocktail dress and prom dresses etc. Someone buys it, wears it and then returns it and claims it didn’t fit. Some were returned complete with wine stains, food stains etc. It was a very big problem and ebay always tended to side with the buyer. I don’t know if it’s still the same.

  I want to touch on the fortnite sprites situation. So, as much as I enjoy the concept... There's a MASSIVE glaring issue here... People are LITERALLY SELLING gold variants and the zero point sprite... On places like eBay, and even on YouTube, twitch, and Tiktok streams...

  @bavedikian This happen to me by Fedex over a decade ago... Even had video of the Fedex truck slowing down as it passed my house about the time they showed it delivered. They didn't even want to see the video, but the seller (Ebay, not Best Buy) made it good. Don't know if Fedex paid up.

  I am genuinely so heart broken. The collectors edition for a game came out and I found out to late. I guessed it would have one a year ago and it did. I missed out. I may give in once I see it pop up on eBay or something and buy it.

  @robertliefeld I'm going to be completely honest here. I'm not old enough to have read it at the time, but I picked up the full run on eBay years ago, and thats about the time the book started feeling like a different series and I stopped caring. Those last 10 issues were a slog. 🤷

  @gnukeith I wonder if these will be enterprise devices and down the line you'll get them for a fraction of the price on ebay, much like thinkpads.

  i miss peak era ovw we had hoodies and shirts and bags and figures and cute keychains and product + food collaborations and the only way you can get any of that anymore is by buying them overpriced on ebay or some other reseller site, it feels terrible 🥀

  @cryptobuck1234 @sneedweb Just so you know, they dont even own the 39 million shares this misleading post claims. They own 864k shares I believe, the rest are in the form of options which is NOT the same as owning them. To be able to buy the options, they would need a loan because they dont have enough money, if they got a loan to get to to the 39 million shares, they would only own 9% of the 444 million shares that are currently in issue by ebay.

  @bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx I smell some waste, fraud and abuse going on here. By hiring and retaining criminals (who steal and likely resell the goods), FedEx should be liable as an accessory to a crime imho. Best Buy owes you a refund, but FedEx is knowingly supporting a criminal. I’ve had similar issues buying on eBay for electronics to disappear at the USPS. The tracking number in limbo forever, postal service offers no help. Just inexplicably lost in a facility. Seller refunded, but there must be a **** ton of criminals in shipping. I’m really getting fed up with all the fraud.

  Even Apple services are down for me 😭 eBay was working for a minute, but not now for goodness sakes you can’t even load porn I thought for as long as there was Internet, we would always have porn🙏🏻👍🏻💀(I was gonna put the GIF of pandas getting it on but now can’t even load that)

  @bethanyjbabcock @Apple There's people on ebay who fix these up and resell them. They replace the battery, put a ssd in place of the spinning hard drive, replace the screens & reprogram them so they are plug & play to you. My son rocks a last-generation (2019) ipod touch, which is like a phone, but we use screentime to restrict what's on there. Wifi only, facetime and texting works, but we remove Siri, Safari and the App Store. Great way to teach responsibility with a device without the ability to doomscroll.

  A broken laser pointer. On Labor Day weekend in 1995, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar launched the site (originally called AuctionWeb) from his living room as a personal project. He listed his own broken laser pointer, which he had bought for about $30 but stopped working after a couple of weeks, to test the platform. He was upfront in the listing that it didn’t work, even with new batteries. It sold for $14.83 to a buyer named Mark Fraser (a collector of broken laser pointers, according to the legend). The sale happened shortly after the site went live on September 3, 1995. This quirky first transaction is often cited as the perfect symbol for eBay: turning something worthless into value through online auctions. Does anyone still use eBay?

  @3G2point0 @CardPurchaser @eBay 1. eBay Money Back Guarantee might still help Even if you’re past the standard 30-day window from the estimated delivery date, open a “Item Not Received” request in your Purchases right away. Go to the order, hit “More actions,” and report it didn’t arrive. If the seller keeps dodging, ask eBay to step in after a few business days. They often side with buyers on non-delivery, especially with a paper trail of the seller admitting they never mailed it and promising refunds.  2. Payment method is your backup • PayPal? You usually have up to 180 days from payment for a dispute/claim. Log in and open one for “Item Not Received.” • Credit/Debit Card? Contact your bank or card issuer ASAP for a chargeback. Explain the situation with screenshots of messages, promises, and lack of delivery. Many issuers are buyer-friendly here.  3. Other steps to take now • Document everything: Save all chat messages, the original listing, tracking (if any), and dates. • Message the seller one more polite-but-firm time: “Hey, still no card or refund. Please issue it today or I’ll have to escalate with eBay/PayPal/bank.” • Check the seller’s feedback and report them if they’re sketchy. In most cases like this, buyers do get their money back one way or another – eBay hates scammy sellers too. If the amount is small, it might not be worth huge stress, but don’t let them get away with it.

  @Dm_Cards_ @AshtonEck8 @Jylesss Don’t disagree. But some people may say “I want my cash right now! I want out of this card, there’s 3 for sale on eBay right now and I think the price is going down! Get me out!” In that case it’s a option to sell INSTANTLY and not test the market against 3 identical cards

  @SianThymes Always remember she hinted it was a fix. So she bought won of the winning ones on Ebay. Other bits I remember. Jane winding her up big time by burping in front of her constantly. So funny. Nikki or Grace saying 'shes had her life'. She was early 40s? Iconic series.

  @Clug741 At this point I'm just along for the ride. We ARE close though. The slow buying of eBay is the marker of that. The whole world has gotten so out of hand. Idk if whatever is gonna happen with this will even help. Hope it does though. Tired of the deception, tired of the fighting, tired of the evil. Enough is enough. I at least want real resolution so I can move on.

  @loyalmoses The main issue for many of the filament brands is the ruinous pricing in the last 2-3 years. And it's hard to stand out, what does their filament do better than the one that is sold for 5-6 € or $ per kg in bundles of 10 spools on AliExpress/eBay? Most PLA/PETG is OK in quality.

  @papaavalon @RockWallBibles Agree. Dozens of Bibles and the only one I have with the Apocrypha is a glue bound from Baylor 20 years ago and a used paste down I found on eBay. I hope this is normalized in the premium binding space.

  @TrevorWilliamsX @CardPurchaser @eBay No. It’s too late. I missed the 30 day window. The seller initially told me he had an issue with the address. The package wasn’t mailed because he “mid-labeled” the address. I was trusting that I was working with fair minded person, lol.

  Boss Nass (@JJBynks) reported 57 minutes ago

  @gorilla_rape I'll check around in eBay to see if there's anything similar. My fear of buying a used one is that there could be something wrong with it and I wouldn't know how to fix it really. I don't think I would buy that particular one on your SS because they have zero feedback.

  Tokyo Deep Value (@TokyoDeepValue) reported 59 minutes ago

  These are the books on my desk right now. Murakami Fund’s old letters, printed out and stapled. A 2003 Marc Faber report on Japan that I bought used on eBay for $40. Ben Graham’s Security Analysis open to the chapter on net-nets that everyone says no longer applies. It still applies. It applies in Osaka. There’s a printed copy of TSE’s 2023 governance letter — the one demanding companies trading below book either fix it or explain themselves — and I’ve underlined the same paragraph in three different colors over 18 months. There’s a Japanese-English financial dictionary with the cover falling off. There’s a binder labeled “Net-Nets, Sapporo to Fukuoka” with 47 tabs and only one of them has ever been wrong. Every name in there trades at less than the cash and securities on its balance sheet minus all liabilities. Some of them have been doing it for 30 years. Some of them have buildings in Ginza that are worth more than the entire market cap and they show them on the books at 1962 acquisition cost. There is no analyst coverage of any of these companies in English. There is barely any in Japanese. I have a Google Sheet with 311 names on it that I update by hand from filings I read with three browser tabs of translation software running. The yen is 158. My cost basis in real terms keeps falling. I have not sold a Japanese stock in four years. This is not a thesis. This is a vocation.

  @bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx if you buy on eBay the transaction is not complete until the seller delivers the product to you, the seller is responsible for any issues in shipping
