Marginalized Bigot (@GrowlyGrr) reported@coNora05 I actually collect coins myself AND inherited a massive collection. The advice my FIL gave me and made me promise to do before he died was to sell the coins in small sets or one at a time so I get the numismatic vaule. That really can only be done on ebay. I ONCE met a decent coin shop dealer when I was younger who gave me almost full vaule for some of my grandma's coins. But that's RARE. When I buy coins for myself, I go to ebay or coin shows/flea markets. I do pay above melt vaule myself, but under the top amount the coins or sets go for. I haven't sold anything on ebay in years, just bought coins, but I've been watching the markets. If you need cash fast your best bet would be to look up the coins first, grok is great for searching the recently sold ebay listings, and asking for under that. A **** shop wouldn't do that, but a decent coin dealer might. Honestly tho, sell if yourself on ebay. You'll get the most and if you price it right or do bidding you can sell it quickly. Prices are going up and down right now so I'm just buying at the moment but it's not a HORRIBLE time to sell either. They definitely take advantage of people who don't know coins. They do that with any collectible really. We inherited baseball cards (so freaking many) and I know nothing about that stuff. So I'm just holding it for now and plan on getting a few offers before I sell.

KY CARDS (@KYCARDPLUG) reported@Pittsburgh1Pete The issue is I’ve sent 3 cards to authentication through eBay. 1 was lost in transit to the facility and the other 2 got damaged after leaving the facility because they give a **** less how they package them up. Left a bad taste in my mouth and took forever to get compensated.

Doodle Dad (@WickeyandLeia) reportedI sell motorcycle parts on eBay which is pretty much dried up because of the shipping.. these are usually bulky items and FedEx and UPS both got extremely expensive.. . Thankfully, I’m retired so this was just kind of for fun. Shipping rates will not go down even if gas does. It’s a one-way trip.
-
Keith Bacon | Sports Cards (@Keithbacon) reported@theonlydsmith @GotdemCards I currently post almost everything on eBay, but if you see something and your rather buy in CollX, I can move from one to the other. I’ve had trouble keeping track when listed on both and accidentally sold the same card twice.

J9_FFC (@MrJ9_FFC) reported@eBay @eBay_UK will you sort your iPhone app out! It’s been days of nothing loading! I can’t get onto my purchase’s etc! I have deleted the app and reinstalled it! Still the same issue! Tried it on both of my IPhones and both of my iPads same issue on all 4 devices!

SALSA PETE (@salsa_pete) reported@hahurupset @caleb8725 Well that’s your problem. Why would you sell to any physical location thinking you’re going to get what you want? They have a lease, overhead, employees, inventory, etc.. Take a picture, post it on Offer Up, Facebook, or learn to use Ebay. A little effort will save you $$

Gabe (@gabenotgave) reported@SaxonEternal @MHackman Google — Sergey Brin immigrated from the USSR; Google employs thousands of Americans. Tesla — Elon Musk immigrated from South Africa; Tesla employs Americans in engineering, manufacturing, sales, and more. Nvidia — Jensen Huang immigrated from Taiwan; Nvidia employs tens of thousands of Americans. Stripe — Founded by Irish immigrants; employs Americans in engineering, sales, finance, and operations. DoorDash — Tony Xu immigrated from China; employs Americans and supports U.S. restaurants and workers. Chobani — Hamdi Ulukaya immigrated from Turkey; employs Americans in manufacturing, logistics, sales, and corporate roles. Zoom — Eric Yuan immigrated from China; employs Americans in technology, sales, support, and other roles. eBay — Pierre Omidyar was born to Iranian parents and immigrated to the U.S.; eBay created U.S. jobs and supports American businesses. * Citing Grok (founded by former OPT student) for helping me with this list. Not only are big companies like these founded and/or run by immigrants (all of whom were once international students), but the very products and innovation within them have been the result of international talent — all of which leading to the employment of white Americans. Nobody is saying that the OPT program is perfect, but I fully believe the benefits far outweigh the negatives. Again, I don’t know what industries you’ve been looking at, but big tech exemplifies why the OPT is beneficial to everyone in the US. I can’t speak to other, smaller industries like consulting, so it’s possible there might be questionable stuff going on there — but our argument relates to the $100K fee on OPT workers. I think the root cause of international talent reliance in the workforce is the fact we let go of our standards. The problem starts in households and upbringing. If American households and lower education held our students (myself included) to the same academic standards and rigor as much of Asia, there’d be much less outsourcing. My point is that slapping a $100K fee on OPT employees isn’t at all the proper way of going about fixing the aforementioned root cause, nor is upending the program. The issues start at home and in schools.

anna (@annakatherines_) reported@HexPositive This but for everything. Today I was ******* with my 2 year old broken printer I’ve barely used thinking “I wonder if I can order a functional printer from the 90s on eBay.” Feels increasingly not worth buying anything made in the last ~10 years

ddphotograph (@Dominicdean277) reportedHuge problems trying to use ebay today, must be a busy day out there

Randy Treibel (@RandyTreibel) reported@du47222292 This is a two fold problem 1) customers not understanding ese takes forever 2) eBay punishing sellers for INR. So you have two retards sandwiching the seller

Richard Johnson (@skuxy18) reported@foxenflask fair, £101m revenue and £42m operating loss is dog ****. The trends are clearly moving in the right direction (tripled revenue since 2021 and falling operating loss). Would like to see those percentages accelerate if eBay doesnt ruin it with terrible marketing

Sigiligus (@sigiligis) reported@redaction “That sounds terrible, why would eBay do something like this?” >Steiner “They deserved it.”

Mary (@RealVeryMary) reportedI bought one on eBay with the optional cutting board that goes on top. Problem solved. It will fit a 9x13 pan.
-
Brian’s Trading Card Polling & Commentary (@CardsPolling) reported@drewscardshop Should be some way to contact eBay and get it taken down. If it’s obviously a scam like this.
-
Mindy meeks (@Mindymeeksufpf) reported@TheLastRonin714 Same. Just for dead space on eBay, they are having a sale on digital, but I have no problem paying more if it means Sony won’t get anything from it. **** them.
-
Pedro Soares (@peachflavor3d) reported@MidlifeCrysis_ Yep, I remember paying something like €30 with shipping included from eBay. The original jewel case was broken but that was easily fixed with a brand new one.
-
Palta T. (@TriplePronged) reported@MagatsuKingpin @GameStalgiaX Unfortunately, as long as used game sellers like GameStop, online resale stores, such as eBay, and greedy/lazy game developers exist, this will still be a problem.
-
The Toy Investor (@thetoyinvestor) reported@agwawegd I sell mostly on Amazon and Walmart. Maybe 5% on eBay. You would want to source items differently for eBay than you would Amazon / Walmart but I believe you truly need Amazon and Walmart if you want to maximize your business. Just comes down to your goals

gm_collectibles (@gm_collectibles) reportedis ebay down for other people?

doodlifts (@doodlifts) reported@seyong Imagine if everyone on the planet tried to sell their beanie babies into the available eBay offers at the same time. Understandably, there isn’t enough money to fulfill all those offers. So the fastest to do it will get the full price offers, then the rest will get the 2nd and third rate offers, this can continue until there is no money left. Luckily the bigger the market, the less of a problem this is, you can sell thousand of pokemon cards on eBay and have no effect on the “price” because there are so many bids on eBay. But with something more niche or new like fine art or an up and coming collectible, one sale can change the whole market, for better or worse!

JessyJams (@JessyJamJam) reported@IncognitoTCG99 @totodile_king I had the same issue with the seller. I had to spam their other socials in the comments to get any help. They didnt bother replying to me till after I called ebay to complain.

Noah Fence ✡️🇮🇱📟🦁 מיכה Phil the Shochet (@ZealouslyQuoted) reported@LDBirdywatcher Facts. Problem is a lot of the ebay cost is shipping and the shipping would make it not worthwhile. Though I find plenty of cheap books locally

Jayseal22 (@jayseal22) reported@jersey_loco_ lol I was completely wrong! I got another jersey from eBay and it came. You did kit fix the issue. 163 down the crapper.
-
Luke NY Skywalker (@RocStar81) reportedHey @eBay, put the search bar back at the top. This is clunky and weird. Why mess with something that isn’t broken or needing of change? The suggestions it put at the top when I’m trying to search were also unhinged.

VOIDCorp (CORTEXos stuff) (@MutekiLabs) reportedQuite raw, but just showing you the process behind, os in #CORTEXos is for open source, so maybe my diary will become someone's guide to make their world better. otherwise now just posting to escape facing real life problems. And trying to qui smoking again, this time with gum. Tomorrow starting to slow down as my budget is cutted in half, always appreciated this kind of bullshit. as planned to halt only in winter. but feels like seeing a tornado moving towards your house. no stress ill just save up on food...yay... but my workshop is opening soon, so opening like ebay - etsy like store, now I can, no problem with bankruptsy anymore, as the trial has ended. there also will be stickers! that I could guarantee.

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@HoneybadgerNo1 @eBay @depop Just for clarity, this item didn't actually go through an eBay authentication facility before delivery to you, right? I don't see the Authenticity Guarantee symbol & it's below the price threshold. It looks to me like it was just a regular listing, which eBay did not initially flag, allowing you to purchase it - then when you relisted the same item, eBay's AI systems flagged it as counterfeit & took it down. That wouldn't have anything to do with eBay Authentication, but it definitely does still show that eBay's AI sucks.
