  @helikessunsets @beeeeeeaan Hiya, I just bought one. If I PM on eBay, could you maybe hold off on posting till the 12th? I move into my new place on the 14th and if it’s sent off now it’ll deliver before I move in which could be an issue

  @ToGDionysus 1. this is not just about cards 2. plenty of well established sellers selling for market/under market 3. ton of shady/trash sellers but same on ebay/walmart/amazon (this is not as much a platform problem as a greed problem)

  @teddy__com @ryancohen TD is expressing it's opinion that GME could go into the debt markets and raise 20B. To do so they listed what conditions would be needed. Paragraph 3 one of them is "expected investment grade corporate credit ratings" Now eBay is getting down graded. GME has to reduce debt

  I got a strong offer on eBay, but would like to keep this sale off eBay. 2003-04 Fleer Authentix LeBron James Rookie /1250. I can send video, but truthfully, the only issue are the edges (very common). A BGS 7.5 did $425 July 7th, a raw with an upside down picture did $312 August 6th. $300 shipped gets it done. I do recommend sending in to get graded, as the 7.5 grade edges look somewhat similar to mine. The only other knock on that one was the centering, which truthfully, I don’t know how to tell centering on this card lol

  Reported a fake item on @eBay, they said it's not fake. They choose to ignore the counterfeit problem.

  I will not delete this time, that means as per the flawed system i do not have access to my .@XMoney account, that means i can't check for fraud, i can't verify 2 deposits from an ebay account i just added, i can't lock my virtual card etc.. etc.. This is a flaw in the system that i've exposed several times now. I realize it's my choice to delete or not delete. I already appealed this, i did the last time too. I said the last time i was going to close the xmoney if i had to delete it to get access. I lied, i didn't. But, i will this time if i have to. I say that meaning, if i have to delete before the appeal is seen, meaning more than 48 hours. It's a flawed system that xmoney is not accessible when your account is locked out, because you are being held by the ***** and x's terrible review system. This profile image is NOT a violation, and x knows it, but getting someone to fix it, it's another story. .@Chimpnnout

  @eBay Finally got someone on the phone and am being told this is a "system glitch" that is affecting multiple people. I think this is a new thing they may be testing, as the only Google result is a Facebook post from yesterday about people experiencing the same issue.

  @collectdotrip @ToGDionysus Saying there’s the same amount of scammers on whatnot and eBay is laughable. eBay actually does a way better job at protecting their buyers and shutting down scams. Whatnot lets scammers flourish and takes their cut from it

  @4buttonsoul In all fairness, tracking down specific DVDs can be a NIGHTMARE especially if you don't wanna pay stupid prices on ebay or something. It took me like, 6 months to put together the scooby doo renaissance quadrilogy.

  WE BOUGHT THE WRONG ASSET 😭 Pokémon cards are apparently having a better 2026 than Wall Street AND crypto. A new market comparison cited by CoinDesk has Pokémon cards up roughly 28% this year, compared with about 13% for the S&P 500 and Bitcoin down 29%. And this isn't some tiny nostalgia market anymore. The Pokémon card economy is estimated around $10–15 BILLION, Logan Paul's Pikachu Illustrator sold for a record $16.5 MILLION, and companies are now storing real graded cards in vaults and putting ownership of them on the blockchain. Target's trading card business was already growing nearly 70%, while more than $2.6 BILLION worth of individual trading cards changed hands on eBay in 2025. Forget altcoin season. Apparently we should've been buying Charizards.

  A company hated a tiny newsletter. So it sent the writers live spiders and a bloody pig mask. It just cost them $55.7 MILLION to say sorry. > Ina and David Steiner ran a small trade newsletter called ECommerceBytes from their home in Natick, Massachusetts, covering eBay and other online marketplaces. > In August 2019, Ina published a story about eBay suing Amazon over poaching sellers. > Thirty minutes later, eBay's CEO Devin Wenig messaged his communications chief: "If you are ever going to take her down now is the time." > The instruction to eBay's security team was even blunter: "Whatever It Takes." > What followed was a coordinated harassment campaign > The Steiners received live spiders, live cockroaches, a bloody pig mask, a funeral wreath, and a book about surviving the death of a spouse. > Pornographic magazines were sent to their neighbors under David's name, and their house was listed on Craigslist as a nightly destination for "swingers." > That same month, eBay's security director and two employees flew from California to Natick, followed David around town, and tried to plant a GPS tracker on the couple's car. > The Steiners reported the rental van's license plate to local police, which unraveled the entire scheme and brought in the FBI. > Seven eBay employees and executives were criminally charged; all pleaded guilty, with the ringleader sentenced to 57 months in prison. > Wenig resigned in 2019 but walked away with $17 MILLION in compensation that year plus a $40 MILLION severance package. > The Steiners sued in 2021. > This week, nearly seven years after it began, eBay and several former executives agreed to a final $55.7 MILLION settlement, $48.7 MILLION to the couple, $6 MILLION to free-press charities, and a public statement admitting the conduct was "wrong" and "reprehensible." A publisher wrote one story a CEO didn't like. His team sent dead spiders and a pig mask to her house. It took nearly seven years and $55.7 million to fix.

  @RyanStadler79 @darrenrovell Yeah, neither 1998 or Thunder Rave. If this reaches eBay AG, it shouldn't pass, unless the buyer is given the choice to ignore the description errors and proceed with the sale.

  @Chuckmanintexas Yep but the problem with that is you can’t even break even selling cards for .50 or a dollar. You lose money at the point if you offer free shipping. To break even selling cards on eBay with free shipping the lowest you can go it 1.42 and if you’re get your top loader cheap your penny sleeves etc….

  AFRICA IS HOME GLOBAL (@AfricaisHOME2) reported 34 minutes ago

  GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is weighing whether to walk away from the retailer’s $56 billion bid for eBay and instead pursue a partnership or joint venture, according to people familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg. The proposed alternative would let eBay tap into GameStop’s roughly 1,600 US stores to grow in higher-margin categories like trading cards and collectibles, while GameStop would ask for board seats at eBay as part of the arrangement. Markets reacted modestly to the news, with GameStop up about 2 percent and eBay down 1.4 percent in premarket trading. The shift comes months after eBay rejected GameStop’s unsolicited offer in May, calling it neither credible nor attractive, and after analysts raised doubts about how a much smaller GameStop would finance a deal nearly six times its own market value. The original proposal was structured as roughly half cash and half stock and was backed by a $20 billion debt commitment from TD Securities, with Cohen pitching $2 billion in annual cost cuts within the first year. Both companies have been expanding in collectibles, but their models are fundamentally different. eBay runs an online marketplace that earns fees without holding inventory, while GameStop buys and resells physical goods through stores. Cohen has argued a combined company could build a stronger competitor to Amazon and even outlined ambitions to create a $1 trillion business around a digital marketplace for game items and authenticated collectibles. GameStop has not made a final decision and could still pursue other options, but for now the focus appears to be moving away from a full takeover toward using GameStop’s retail footprint to deepen collaboration with eBay. - World Business News.

  @TheUltimator5 Why would you believe he pulled the offer? Bloomberg is hostile, and market makers needed more down days. Buy ebay, stock tanks, pull offer, stock tanks = manipulation I see this **** and I add more shares. Shorts are just trying to keep new retail/tutes out.

  @CardPurchaser eBay authentication potentially lost a card I sold and sent to them..worst part is the buyer had to reach out to himself to get any sort of update and on top of that the only way I found out was because he messaged me as well..terrible customer service.

  Like the time I sold a laptop on ebay to a guy that promptly tried (and got) a refund as he claimed it was defective. He'd clearly swapped bits to repair a broken one. Looked further into it. address shared with a mobile and laptop repair shop. These people walk amongst us

  These people on Ebay make it very hard for real collectors like me to have a decent chance at buying cards!! I wish @Topps could do more about this as it's a big problem. These people buy everything up and put it right on @eBay for double the price.

  9 months ago I started my Pokémon journey, although I had many cards as a child in played condition I wanted to go heavy and feel passion once again. Invested roughly around $8k till the date. I made a mistake on beginning by gambling and ripping good amount of packs, wanted to pull the chase, instead I dived deep, learned how to search for a good cards, sets or negotiate for several stuff. Pokémon market is indeed interesting when its combined by hobby and businesses. Till today I have at least 500 sales, purchases as well, trading cards in person or via facebook groups, ebay or cardmarket is really good experience, so the card shows as well. IMO market as this is really complex and entirely depends on liquidity and its volatility which is far lower than we have in crypto market. So to understand how certain stuff hold onto the chart or why Pokémons are like slow and without any bumps, its because someone has to buy either card or sealed product from You or someone else, You simply cannot dump and crash market like its the case with crypto or stocks. Obviously it will stagnate and there is certain of price corrections atm, especially with modern cards or sets like Destined Rivals. But as for me, I'm building and trying to collect vintage sets and cards, I don't have a fear for stuff that are in existence for 20 or 30 years that will loose on value, mayve a correction or a chance to grab a holy grail or decent slabs, but definitely in coming years it can get more on price than right now.

  @SkyNews How about demanding rates are lowered to bring business back to the high street , encourage Amazon and eBay collection points in the high street also to get people back down there. Index is gone, Argos in Sainsbury’s, Argos style but Amazon anyone?

  It's not a money thing. Having actual humans meticulous grade an item takes TIME. The main issue is/was that folks were submitting millions of crappy cards that were essentially worthless. Go look on ebay. This is @PSAcard's way of saying only submit cards worth grading.
