Peak Hobby (@PeakHobby) reported@PokeHEX5555 @ApeStackin @LlcPickaxe The problem is PokeData takes Pre-release eBay sold prices as the starting price which are probably unauthorized/illegal and those sell for insane prices that no realistic person would pay for

Lance Miller (@lmilsfsd) reported@parkerstevenson In 2026, @eBay sellers are still navigating three decades of different user interfaces. It's one of the ugliest, most cobbled together large-scale platforms on the internet. Thousands of services, massive technical debt, organizational debt, and outdated practices baked in. They’ll implement any 'feature' that makes an extra buck. But the real poison is the third-party display ads plastered everywhere that actively send visitors off eBay to other websites and apps. Great for short-term revenue and the stock price. A terrible testament to confidence in their own product.

LAURA FRANCESCA ⚡️🌟 🍊 (@starzenith33) reportedThe company shut down. Products are still available online, Amazon & EBay fortunately because I can’t be without my mud soap. 💙

meme (@MemeKing500) reported@fibonacki My issue with pokemon is looking at the cards it's hard to tell what to type into ebay to find the card

Tony (@_tonyishere) reportedin the last 6 month i had issues with @YouTube @eBay and @Payoneer - huge businesses. In each an automated system decided there was “a problem,” instantly slapped me with “permanently suspended,” and that was it. no warning. no appeal. In two of those cases it took around a week to get to a real person in customer support. Each took 1-3 month to be resolved. in the end ALL THREE said "sorry for the mistake"! i get it, companies grow, get more customers, and mistakes happen. But it is increasingly obvious that big companies are in AI race slashing costs and chasing profits… while treating their #1 asset (the customer) like disposable beta testers. Anyone else living this nightmare? What’s the best way to actually push back? Or is this just the new normal?

Lewis, William... William (@WillLewis_1976) reported@CardPurchaser just want to give a heads up to everyone about the new @eBay express payout program. If you sign up for it, though they do not explicitly say it, you don't get to request what transactions the program works with. It applies to EVERY payout you have. So let's say for some reason you only had a $10 sale on one of your payouts, well the program will charge you that extra $2 express payout feature automatically without you requesting it. They also don't make it easy to turn off. Even the customer service employee on the phone said it had been moved and he was having a problem finding it. It's very unethical how eBay is doing this imo. Fees are already a pain in the ***, and now they have found another way to nickel and dime customers for more money. Then the customer service rep tried to **** off the extra charge onto banks rather than saying eBay was getting extra profit from it.

RocketCooper |🦝 CooperCollector💰 (@CooperCollector) reported@KikuOkami Top right I’m assuming? Mine was a Christmas gift from the original Sucker Punch shop online. I had three at one point I found on eBay but I’m down to just the OG now

Topspin Assassin (@dankourny) reported@BoilerPaulie $ebay stock is up 78% over the last 5 years through today and $gme stock is down 52% over that same period. That is a staggeringly bad relative performance. No one other than current GME shareholders wants Cohen anywhere near EBAY.

린뚜 🌙 𝖈𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖔𝖘 (@ziitao) reported@Addicted2Jeter @minj00nglvr I usually buy from a Korean store on eBay that is very secure since I’ve never had a problem with them, and they sell the digipacks by members as well as the unit ones I don’t live in the US so I don’t have any other option

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reported@TeamTradeology The problem with using LLMs for responses: “In the context of GameStop and eBay, however, there is no public evidence that GameStop is pursuing a takeover or that any exception has been arranged.” First part completely false. GameStop has publicly and legally declared its intent and is doing so on an ongoing basis. Second part is true-ish but still misses reality: the board rejected the offer and thus there is definitively no arrangement in place. Which is why I said they have to be careful about Delaware 203.

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@KennethGrifter @GregIsKitty @ryancohen This too! Nat's in kind of an interesting position in that fakes like that which circumvent eBay authentication present a real brand reputation & trust problem for PSA - and PSA's existing relationship with eBay (hopefully) gives him leverage to press eBay to do more about it.

Retro Stinga (@RetroStinga) reportedIt would be a great time for @JeffBezos @amazon to buy @eBay with all the combined shipping problems it’s been having plus less restrictions with the administration than ever before.

Mari Luukkainen (@mariluukkainen) reportedRemember Clubhouse? I was thinking about it today and checked out what’s going on. Let me give you the speedrun. April 2020: launches invite only. You’re nobody if you don’t have an invite. People are literally selling invitations on eBay. February 2021: Elon Musk joins a room and the app explodes. 4.6 million new users in two weeks. Oprah is on it. Drake is on it. Kevin Hart is on it. Everyone is hosting their rooms about crypto, mindset and “the future of audio.” March 2021: valued at $4 billion. Andreessen Horowitz leads the round. Every tech company panics and copies it. Twitter launches Spaces. Spotify launches Greenroom. LinkedIn launches audio events. Facebook announces audio rooms. June 2021: 17 million monthly active users. Peak moment. December 2021: CEO admits “we grew way, way too fast.” Downloads are falling off a cliff. The world reopened and it turns out people prefer actually talking to their friends in person over listening to some random dude 45-minute monologue about manifestation. April 2023: lays off 50% of staff. Spotify already killed their clone. Twitter Spaces is barely alive. 2026: still technically exists. Downloads at 243K per month, down from millions. Ranked 19 in the News category on the App Store. The app that was supposed to kill podcasts is now less relevant than most podcasts. $4 billion to “still technically exists” in five years. Speedrun complete.

Cheesestick (@Cheesestick) reported@eBay I need some customer service for an item I did not receive. The seller shipped it on May6. Finally, on May 18, USPS tracking website says call C/S. I did that and USPS is saying the package is "unsalvageable". Which means they have either lost or destroyed the package. The seller sees this. I see it. The seller is saying you all are not allowing them to refund me. On May 19, ebay says "the case was put on hold". That was supposed to last 10 days, but on May 29, ebay updated the status saying the case is on hold again until June 8. I don't understand what the problem is?? Everything on the site or in my email that suggest clicking "here" for help leads to a dead end. It is not giving me any option to appeal or get a refund or talk to somebody - nothing!

Bobby Fijan (@bobbyfijan) reportedThe only “problem” is that he loved the stories so much that he couldn’t wait for the rest of them to be re-published, so I had to cobble together the rest of them on eBay.

HoboJ (@HoboJ_) reported@fintaxdude eBay is easy. Create account. Go to my eBay. Scroll down to scan item. Scan card. Make sure your card matches what pops up and you can see what the card has sold for in the past two years.
