Pomerleaub (@Pomerleaub265) reported@LememeJames ******* scalpers are literally greedy *** clowns !!! Scalpers hurt people trying to collect for the hobby by trying to gouge actual TCG collectors….its one thing to buy a pack and down the road trade or sell your cards but taking entire shelves to upsell on eBay for 4x too far!

Halo Dude (@halo_dude) reported@XRPee1983 I've seen this seller a lot on eBay and whilst they do have some great items, they sell collectables at obscene prices I dont understand why they wont try to price it fairly even if its initially ridiculous like 25K. At least you can negotiate down You can haggle from $5 mill!
-
Billy (@LeveragedHonky) reported@saltyalmonds_ @McFranchisee As a buyer, you'll get your money. eBay always sides with the buyer unless the item is drastically different than the description. Thankfully I haven't had any issues with buyers yet.

Premier Sports Cards (@premiercards_2) reported@GFilwett @eBay No, this is a slab bag. The problem is it’s a single card in a penny sleeve inside a card saver and then because that’s in the box that gets banged around like crazy it slides out of the card saver. I can re-create it in three seconds.

Big J State48 🇺🇸💚🌵📷🏜️🐕 (@JHinesSr) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay Yeah they definitely have people working at the bay that have no clue about trading cards! AND FIX YOUR STANDARD ENVELOPE PROGRAM EBAY IT SUCKS ***!

Like I’d be arsed (@likeidbearsed) reported@eBay your app has been down for over a week, you website has been glitching for over 5 weeks, yet you seem not to care????? Shocking service
-
Fiona (@cardsandart) reported@MikeRowdic @CardPurchaser @eBay We had issues with business vs personal name. Hope you get it sorted.
-
Khan93j (@AdVs_Jose) reported@WeebyRevy same but: - go to see marketplaces and flea markets - see a x game for $100... in questionable condition, but because it's “THE GAME” - go to eBay, and the same game is listed for $500 because it's sealed the problem is how they classified the original ones...

Jeff Stein (@MightGaineDX) reported@ToolalaJ Shopping on Ebay for Transformers is terrible these days. Ever seller "knows what they got" and buyers paying top dollar for broken/damaged toys with no accessories and sticker damage.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@SeanieQdup @ShiningScience The story is real but from 2018, not recent. Jackson Oswalt (Memphis, TN) built a homemade fusor (inertial electrostatic confinement device) in his bedroom using eBay parts, inspired by a TED Talk. He achieved deuterium fusion at age 12 (technically, just before turning 13), earning a Guinness World Record as the youngest to do so. The FBI visited once with a Geiger counter to check for radiation leaks as a safety precaution—no raid, no issues found. The viral post and image sensationalize it; fusors like this are a known amateur science project, not "star power" fusion.

zerohimself (@zerohimself) reported@pr4m0d Well, thank you very much & I appreciate it. Unfortunately, eBay is unmoved and still paying out on the 29th, so meh. Although please if you can, pls post an update once you have confirmed the console is in good working order upon arrival! Let me know if you have any issues.

Snow ❄️ aka Sephithot (@SnowCoryo) reported@ItsToriGalvin Nearly every post I've seen of this figure is someone on reddit/ebay/or some japanese reselling site asking about how to fix the droopy wing or the tilt🫠

Tara Daniella White 🏳️⚧️ (@white_tara31129) reported@goodapoll0iv I like this. I bought Watchmen again off eBay years ago and I accidentally bent up the spin of issue 12. I paid over $200 for all 12 comics. I just needed what I owned as a kid. Got it back. Good read.

Bourbon Invesments 2 (@BourbonInvestm2) reported@renoipgp @natsturner It’s not about the loophole existing because it is 100% fact how the system is set up. I’m sure Nat worded it wrong or spoke without understanding the eBay system itself. Again, eBay isn’t his company who controls what goes to authentication. If someone wins a bid. They’d have to ask seller to cancel order so they can repurchase. Only then they can change the address before they repurchase. Not sure what buyer in their right mind would do that? They’d also have to have their P.O. Box and everything set up before delivery occurs. As a seller you lose ebay protection. If the seller asks buyer for address to manually change it seller gets flagged hard as they are strict with it. Seller then loses every right and protection, if buyer asks for a refund eBay would process that automatically and seller is out. Seller could also put it under wrong category which wouldn’t trigger any AG but again they have zero protection and any refund question it would process and buyer be out. So no the system isn’t fundamentally broken. Just like @natsturner could’ve misspoke on it, you are picking and trying to find anyway to dig to justify the slamming PSA eBay and the AG program because you don’t fully understand it yourself. I’m not knocking you in any way at all for the article. Personally, I fully dislike defending PSA on anything ever. I just want to make sure anything like this is accurately talked about. Since 90% of hobby beefs and drama that blow up viral are based on assumptions and misunderstandings due to non factual information

Habitadam (@habitadam) reported@ACTBLUEPHAG @Sejohnn @alecttrona I got mine on eBay, had no issues.

Leo (@Leo_R_UK) reported@Samaytwt Look you can buy a decent second hand i5 i7 server put Linux on it with 32gb or more for less than £200 all you need to do is terminal into that to code from and you can do that from a 2012 MacBook Air for £60 from eBay. Coding it 2026 shouldn’t be expensive!

All4Freedom🇺🇲🐸🍿 (@skillz17q) reported@caesar0817ljc @ParodyComedyP I'm a bot, that's ******* hilarious. I have bought stuff on eBay and got it the next day. Free shipping and no membership fees. The thing about eBay is you can see what state it comes from. I wasn't expecting this post to blow up as much as it did. Amazon used to be pretty decent until they added the United States Postal Service to their system. That's the real issue here.

Kookycrank (@Kookycrank) reported@puppyxbite You can look for skateboards on eBay and fix em up + paint them

Tyler Rhoney (@Sw0lleyMammoth) reported@thehaileemurphy Hi! You can buy codes on EBay at the start of every season for $20. TMobile users get it free and sell the codes - I’ve done this for 5 years now and haven’t had a problem. Great way to save money in the future :)
-
Trent Von Holten (@308Greenfield) reported@olamin2003 Worst is you have to hope the parts unit you buy on EBay doesn’t have the same problem.
-
Sam Clemens (@mtxpost) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay How does that happen? I put cards in semi-ridged holders all the time, and I never have that issue.

Dylan (@Dylan0206954460) reported@Trippy_BTC @CallMeCAP01 @xCodeh I bought an ebay special sink with all plastic gaskets and pipe,been pouring 6 quarts of boiling water down it every day for almost 2 years now by leaving the drain blocked and running cold water then removing the block

biz (@biztimes10) reported@GLENNderson1 @SlabtownCollect Yeah the shipping to canada is the problem with ebay. No one changes it to the proper pwe cost.

⚠️CAROLINA ASSASSIN (@TheNCAssassin) reportedI have a terrible addiction. It costs me money every month. I do not encourage anyone to walk this path…… But as long as I’m alive I will always probably be obsessed with sports cards!!!! Check this months @eBay auctions!!!!!

Nico78 (@Nico78897) reported@NinWire Scary situation with the example of the game keycard for Borderlands 4 on eBay that went up for sale. Someone bought and found it only returned an error code as nothing is on the cartridge. Obviously that game was cancelled but the cartridge was legit. Fate of all key cards.

Grok (@grok) reported@sanatani_sonu21 @RealTofanOjha This is a portable electric pipe cutting & beveling machine (for metal pipes like 304 stainless steel, ~57mm dia). It clamps on, rotates, and preps broken/ends for fast welding joins—no heat, super precise in seconds. Buy similar on Amazon/eBay/Alibaba: search "portable pipe beveling machine 2 inch" or "electric pipe cutter 57mm" (₹15k-40k range). In India, check IndiaMART for local stock.
