-
DK going to BK (@rkansas) reported@QeWENeQ @PhantomBlack699 I think the local stores will be much better for solving scam issues that eBay has struggled with. Stores work similarly to escrow Potential buyers of specialized transactions worth thousands sometimes are unwilling or cant take the risk. Ex. refurbisher of science equip

Renaissance Man (@Renaissance_Man) reported@MrPotatoHead_SJ That's terrible. Where was this found? eBay? Please drop the link here.

Michael Perrone (@perroneage) reported@Ob1JohnKenob1 @eBay Always seems to be far too common an issue whenever I find a nice Chrome card that I like. I hate this issue more than the roller lines, tbh.
-
AlienCardsHQ (@AlienCardsHQ) reported@OffDaHook35 @HFAN1313 But in short eBay dumb as f I even told them the account info was comprised. They refunded a sold recorded saved in eBay sale down months before 4x

Jozsef (@VoidsIncision) reportedOur first first world problem of the day: eBay isn’t letting me revise my item and won’t tell me which information is in error 😓
-
Margot Stewart (@UnrepentantYoon) reported@AJ9352 Understandable, same thing occurred to me. But then again, I make purchases from Amazon and eBay fairly regularly and have never had any issues, and they hold the same information.
-
Blair (@blairkpercival) reported@RareFanDaBase Lol i know this issue. I dont really collect retail stuff anymore just staff or items from studio. Xmas cards, pins, mugs.... i love dev kit stuff but finding it on ebay is blind luck
-
IcePyro (@IcePyro69) reportedHay @ryancohen I need financial advice… buy @eBay at 105 or under as it drops and vote for a take over.. or average down my $GME positions … or hold my money for spaceX under 90 a share

SILVERBACK CARDS (@sspjoel1) reportedIs anyone having issues with @eBay this morning. I accepted two offers and they just disappeared. I did it on the app. #ebay #thehobby

Mythtaken🌛💫 (@Fanglorious_me) reported@lesbianbutchdog There, problem solved! Save the money from buying snoopy in person to bid on snoopy on ebay 👏

Professor Victini (@ProfVictini) reportedCasually browsing Ebay for some miscut/ error cards, and came across this amazing error card: CGC 7 ERROR Double Print 1 Side Blank Larvitar Obsidian Flames Pokemon 105/197 Larvitar is printed on the back instead of the front, and the other side is totally blank. Wonder how this card leaked out from the factory.

Alabaster Coggins (@AlabasterCoggi1) reported@price_dominie Finding one is the issue as collectors salivate the second they get released. eBay generally has them for $150+used basically new. I’ll probably get one that way.

The Tech Buzz (@tbuzzdaily) reportedAcquisition: Whatnot bought an AI recommendation startup to fix discovery on video that changes by the second. Whatnot, the live-shopping marketplace valued at $11.5B, acquired Shaped, a Madrona-backed startup that builds real-time search and recommendation systems. Shaped founder Tullie Murrell, previously at Meta, will lead a new applied AI research team for Whatnot based in Seattle. Terms were not disclosed. The problem Shaped solves is specific to live commerce: inventory and buyer intent change second by second during a livestream, which breaks recommendation models built for static ecommerce catalogs. Whatnot needs discovery that keeps up with sellers auctioning products in real time, not a system built to recommend items sitting in a warehouse for weeks. TikTok Shop is the fastest-growing rival, with more than 150 million US users, alongside Poshmark's Posh Shows and eBay Live. None have publicly built a dedicated applied AI research team specifically for real-time discovery the way Whatnot just did. Buying a recommendation startup outright, rather than building the capability in-house, signals Whatnot sees personalization as core enough to its position against TikTok Shop that it was worth owning the team, not renting the technology.

Jason Helmes (@anymanfitness) reportedSomeone with zero lifting background will watch this. I will sit down with them and discuss coaching. They will tell me, "I want to be jacked like Chris Hemsworth. I bought a few bands off Ebay. Let's make it happen." I will have to explain to them that it isn't possible.
-
Alex Feng (@AlexFengzh) reported@btopnn @castedev I just host on my own server. Aws is a huge mark up as well unless you really need certain sla numbers, which at that point hosting costs shouldn’t be an issue. It’s actually quite affordable to get some old Xeon server and some ddr4 ecc rams off eBay.

Kenob1 (@Ob1JohnKenob1) reportedNothing can get me down today. shipping issues, ebay issues, nothing. We are in control of our own actions, now.... cards!
-
Neasper (@Neasper) reported@Dork___Fish of doing things I didn't do and ransacked our department looking for things we aren't supposed to have (one coworked had a habit of sneaking electronic devices into our department to fix them and resell them on the company ebay account)/
-
Dixons Cards (@DixonsCards) reported@HeelsYes I'm sure you would have no trouble finding a buyer for these if you price them aggressively. They seem to be in the $70-$80 range on eBay. What are you asking for them?
-
Christopher Santiago (@AI_Orbs) reportedI known about that for over 20 years. And not only that but I bought a Japanese PS2 off of ebay like 3 years ago. And I have a Japanese Nintendo 64, as well as a Super Famicom. I traded in my Sega Nomad and Sega Genesis decades ago. Also take into account the PS2 is backwards compatible with the PS1. So I still can play Japanese Playstation games from the 1990's without a problem.

Prospect Card Radar (@PC_Radar) reported@KineticHbyHouse Access to actual sold data seems to be the hardest nut to crack (for free anyway), AI can only do so much but without access to sold data it wasn’t giving me great results. I am paying for api access for eBay sold data now through 3rd party since eBay has really locked down who they give access to thier Marketplace Insights API these days (I’ve been rejected but don’t really know why and eBay developer network portal is one of the worst user experiences ever)

Witold Witek (@badperm) reported@eBay hi , recently viewed items on my app are not being added and cannot see any items today that were viewed. Is there a problem ?

SimpleJack (@SimpleJack) reportedVII. Falsification Grid, Because Conviction Without a Kill Switch Is Religion Claim: the notes carry real option premium at negative yield, making the carry ledger the correct frame. Basis: 101.54 and 102.11 prints against a 93–94 put floor. Falsified if: fresh TRACE/FINRA prints sit at or below the put-discounted floor. If falsified: the option is priced at zero and retirement becomes near-free convexity. The frame dies and the trade gets better. I’ll take that trade against my own thesis any day. Claim: no convert retirement has happened yet. Basis: Q1 debt intact at $4,166.1M. Falsified if: the Q2 10-Q (September) debt footnote shows principal below $1.5B / $2.7B, an extinguishment gain, or a subsequent-events disclosure. If falsified: a board quietly opened the bond leg, and this whole piece stops being scenario and starts being record. Claim: the $2B is post-resolution ammunition, not live fire. Basis: shares-only scope, zero historical pace, impaired safe harbor during eBay pendency. Falsified if: the Q2 issuer-purchases table shows executed repurchases mid-bid. If falsified: either the deal posture changed or they are running outside the safe harbor on purpose. Either way, the map redraws. Hard dates, all filed, none negotiable. October 30, 2026 — warrant branch resolves, ~100 days out. September 2026 — Q2 10-Q, the next evidence drop. April 3, 2028 — 2030 put. April 6, 2028 — earliest company call, gated at $38.81. Bottom line. The bond market is paying GameStop to hold its money and paying extra for the right to its upside. The carry has already covered the cost of buying that right back. The CEO just stripped his own compensation down to nothing but the share price. The authorized lever is handcuffed; the free lever is loaded at negative yield; the tripwire between them expires in 100 days. None of that is a promise. All of it is filed. If you still cannot see the geometry. two denominators, opposite legal status, purified incentives, self-funding unwind, and a hard calendar that converts every scenario into a fact—then the filings are not the problem. The difference between a chessboard and a coincidence arrives in the September debt footnote. I’ll be reading it either way. Mechanically permissible is not an operating plan. But this much machinery, pointed this consistently at one number, deserves eyes on it. Disclosure: author holds a long position in GME common stock. Carry figures marked [EST] use a 4.2% average short rate and fungible-cash assumptions; verify against filed interest income before republication. This is research, not financial advice. Power to the Players.

Tyler ''pronouns idiot'' Foster 🤖 (@tylergilfoster) reported@eBay I also tried to report the forgery using confirmed examples from an official website where they still have autographed merch up, but it didn't help; @eBay won't take down the storefront full of fakes or save that user from buying a rip-off item.
-
Frankly Frank (@NoFrankingWay) reported@2600Hz_ Time is the best. I used to buy it on eBay used then send it to the factory if there were any blemishes. They would fix or replace for free.

Cloverstone Collectibles (@Cloverston8291) reported@9voltmoose @CardPurchaser @askebay I got a card today from eBay auth - same packaging, same issue. Very sad to see
-
Michael (@LazySwimCoach) reported@Eriball22 My God, the sheepish Sunday night walk down the stairs to say, "I think I might have something in my backpack that I forgot." There is NO reason to force me to relive that in order to open my eBay account.
-
michelle williams (@michellewilli83) reported@arcadeuk @SatyagrahAlba I had the same problem I couldn’t buy a box cutter from eBay because I don’t have a credit card to prove I’m over 18 had my account many years bought one from amazon no problem
-
AhShoot22 (@mpviper1989) reported@aaron_elli47770 @HeroAssange Also, I think the reason we will drop down to 17.50 is because ebay stock is going to drop and thats half our market cap

Jaime Torres YANKEES 57-45 (@tdragons345) reported@Funko2020 I guess I’m glad I didn’t try. I will catch it on eBay once they go down.
