    "In 2006, a man from Brisbane, Australia tried to sell the country of New Zealand on eBay. The starting bid was 1 cent and got up to $3k before the listing was taken down by eBay." There's one born every minute. Should have listed the Brooklyn Bridge; might have gotten more.

    @WildwheelsHat If you aren't hung up on whether they're the original mold or not, someone on eBay sells 3D printed G1 Rodimus accessories for a very fair price. I bought them a while back to complete my old, hand-me-down Rodimus.

  • JesusIsLord1717 None But Christ! (@JesusIsLord1717) reported

    @eBayNewsroom ebay has completely gone down the drain. ive sold on ebay for 19 years now, its a shame how ebay is stealing money out of the sellers pockets. not to mention the horrible customer service over the past couple years. and you wonder why so many people are leaving this marketplace.

  • MaffiLu Silke fürs Volk (@MaffiLu) reported

    China Sellers are getting creative on ebay. Selling stuff, item location Germany. And once you paid they'll message you with broken German that there's an issue and it will delay for a many days. Well of course, you cheating bastards gotta ship it from china first. Sale canceled!

  • 33CardShop mace (@33CardShop) reported

    @GuruOpensCards Well rn it’s like what $4k plus & free? Okay that’s fine… but down to $250 & Eventually going to cost more on top of the absolutely criminal fees that eBay taxes us? This is all a ******* rake lol

  • lougehrig97 TSN DON CHERRYPOPPER (@lougehrig97) reported

    Just bought a used Easton SE16 for $750 on eBay. Was between that and a year membership at the Asian massage parlor down the road, however, one will get used way more than the other this year.

  • saulbaksux Matt (@saulbaksux) reported

    Anyone running into issues with eBay removing HRO listings? Not sure what I am using that is triggering but I’ve had 10+ listings removed in the last 24 hours. @cardrestocks @CardPurchaser

  • MrBeanStock5 Mr Bean Stock (@MrBeanStock5) reported

    @mechanic_tooth @DowGoldEquals1 There is where I’m at, heck signs on mechanic shops. I don’t buy it for now, I may never use it. I still have all the eagles grandpa passed down from years ago, been buying eagles since I was a teen. May never use it, but my avg coin is about $15. Sell on eBay $40 all day long

  • KentonAntiques Born in These Streets (Specifically 24th & MLK) (@KentonAntiques) reported

    @ComicCavePDX Just got my first negative after over a decade and a half of selling on eBay bc the ******* who first negotiated $150 of the price decided it was terrible once he got it but didn’t want to return it . I was like ok bud.

  • Fake_B_Parcells Bill Parcells (@Fake_B_Parcells) reported

    @AndrewBVCU @CardPurchaser @AskeBay Etsy went from 5 to 6.5. If eBay had any type of customer service it would maybe be ok. They don’t. It’s terrible.

  • philshapiro Phil Shapiro (@philshapiro) reported

    Friends ask me to use eBay to track down a good deal on a used laptop for them. I happily oblige -- and then I offer a warranty on the laptop, too. They ask me, "Phil, how long is the duration of the warranty?" Me -- "20 minutes."

  • DJTrinitron TM (@DJTrinitron) reported

    @14Samclark Can eBay and **** items. But Cards get locked down quickly.

    @skramzgirl maybe yeah, i mean everything vintage i buy is on ebay, designer stuff i buy on grailed, everything ive bought from them is legit, never had a problem on my end

  • MikeW911 Mike Worcester (@MikeW911) reported

    @eBay What gives? You locked my account but the reset password won't work, the contact us won't work, and the sign in without a password won't work. I can't even complain other than with the whole world watching!

  • TechnicalJim Technical Jim 🔞 (@TechnicalJim) reported

    @CTropes An objectively terrible person on par with eBay scalpers.

  • lilbrobets Lilbrobets (@lilbrobets) reported

  • BrooksBedoreVO Brooks Bedore (@BrooksBedoreVO) reported

    I've really enjoyed not having to worry about ebay anymore. It's a huge load off of my mind and my schedule. The ****** thing, is that if u stand still for too long now, my brain goes: "Oh my God what are you doing. You haven't done anything. This is terrible." Weeeeeeeee

  • Iota134 Grease Wetherspoon (@Iota134) reported

    @Sequisha @Pestily New to Ebay and selling some high value audio gear, one buyer paid for an item but is giving off red flags (feedback of 2, I can't find any proof that he actually exists outside of Ebay, short message with broken English) thinking he might be a scammer?

    @MikeW911 @eBay You can text @TimmHan to fix your account immediately

  • lilbrobets Lilbrobets (@lilbrobets) reported

    @eBay stole my money can you lay the smack down for me #YoungRock

  • jtbling jj블링❣️ (@jtbling) reported

    @crushonskz The seller gets charged then which makes the actual listing ticket price a little higher, like mercari or ebay, still cheaper in total than vvd i guess. Some reviews are terrible tho…

  • leafsfan_71 leafsfan71 (@leafsfan_71) reported

    @twistedleafs That sounds more like a Canada Revenue issue, and not an Ebay issue

  • ThIsisFitz ThisIsFitz (@ThIsisFitz) reported

    @AskeBay It's not the app, it's a system issue, I've installed multiple versions of the app with apk installations, same issue m I'm in a group with ebay sellers and they're all having the same issue. Over a week now though.

  • ValueAddedRS Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported

    @baggysleeves @eBay Do you use an ad blocker? There have been some issues recently with ad blockers blocking both promoted & organic (non-promoted) listings in some eBay searches.

  • FatElvis04 Justin Yarbrough 🌻 (@FatElvis04) reported

    Are you serious, @eBay? You reset my account password because of a suspicious login just after I logged in on my new phone *and* did the two-factor authentication dance? And you have the gall to suggest I set up 2FA in your email to me? Get a grip.
