Rick Barrow (@TheGreenBarrow) reportedWhy do you insist on eBay live constantly being shoved down our throats when some don't want it in the app. Everytime I open it up eBay live shows up. Put it in the app to turn this off @eBay

josh (@heyitspixel69) reportedPeople really need to look at where GameStop's profitability is actually coming from. The core retail business isn't funding any of these investments because store revenue keeps dropping year after year. The cash pile being parked in Treasury bonds and eBay stock came directly from diluting shareholders and issuing convertible debt. They are basically collecting interest on capital raised by printing new stock while closing down physical locations. When your net income depends on yield from diluted money while total retail sales keep collapsing, you aren't seeing a business turnaround. You are just watching a retail chain slowly convert itself into a passive investment fund.

🩸 Rabbit 🩸Vampire Autism (@MaskedRabbitt) reported@qirvanas He is! I've had him for a little over a year and I sleep with him every night, no tears or rips or any issues, he was about 15 dollars on ebay though I'm unsure if there's any listings around that price now

rack$ (@mnstacks) reportedHe built an autonomous Grok Bot named Reaper, handed it his credit card debt and told it to pay off his credit card debt for him. He gave the bot its own computer in the cloud and access to his email. Then he basically said: “This debt is your problem now. Don’t ask me for money. Just report back every night.” What Reaper actually did • canceled old subscriptions he’d forgotten • talked the credit card company into a lower interest rate • moved most of the balance to a 0% card • got a couple of charges refunded • sold his unused PlayStation and monitors on eBay • put every extra dollar it found toward the debt I spoke to him and he said he plans to work on more upgrades and refine its function He is fully onboard and will join the community to tell us about his future plans Ca;

SwamiLee (@SwamileeSports) reported@CardsMax The main issue here is do people run a business or are they just playing with their cards? It’s up to them. If they’re running a business, the response should be “thank you for the offer but I’ll pass.” And it’s over. There is no need to get combatitive. It hurts your business. But again, not everyone is running a business on eBay.

Liv's Bulbasaur | 🍃 (fka Oupa) (@LivsBulbasaur) reported@alejbustos If you bid for something on ebay or at an auction, do you start at 90% of what you're willing to pay for right away? Like are you guys slow or what?

josh (@NIPTXCK) reported@TYRISPRINT iphone 5c if you’re into the colors, 5s if you want something slightly** faster, better camera, and touch id. i bought a 6s on ebay and didn’t have any problems, but it’s important you check that the seller has an overall good rating. you should be fine.

FonsieTrader (@FonsieTrader) reported$GME GameStop is no longer reporting a retailer first. It is reporting a holdco. Sales $780–$800 million, down from $972 million. Switch 2 anniversary, stores shut, France gone. That is the old business shrinking on purpose. Operating income $150–$170 million versus $66 million. The store is smaller and more profitable. Net income $290–$310 million — and $238 million of that is the eBay mark, minus ~$75 million on digital assets. Cash fell from $8.7 billion to ~$5.06 billion because they converted the eBay derivative into 43.4 million shares. That stake is worth ~$4.95 billion. The treasury did not vanish. It changed clothes. Full print: September 8. Today is the preview they dropped next to a convertible-notes exchange. So the question is not “is GME a meme.” Is this a tighter retailer with a $5 billion eBay box — or a closed-end fund that still has a logo on the mall? $GME $EBAY Not investment advice.

Zach Lesage (@ZachLesagePTCG) reportedI’m hoping Pokémon does something to fix the pin rally issues for this event. I’m pretty sure we’re all out of luck, but maybe like mailing a set of pins to each XP person or reprinting the pin rally pins for league / other promo stuff. Since I was competing on Friday, I didn’t get a chance to get pins. Idk if it started Thursday or not so maybe I had a chance, but everything shut down shortly after it started on Saturday. It isn’t happening on Sunday. If the rumoured reasoning of attendee safety is true, I get it. I really do. I want us all to be safe and the lines have been wild (an understatement frfr). But like as a Pokemon fan, I just want the pins for the event bc they look cool. The second hand market is about to go crazy with $500 one day only Charizard, Jirachi, and Umbreon pins lmfao. The $300 full set “scalper” eBay listings are looking like a steal rn. Like what do they even do with the pins now? Are these just gonna be ultra rare “lost relics” that get destroyed with the only few ones out there being pinned on random hats of true collectors and outrageous secondary market prices? I’m honestly just curious at this point bc I’ve already gotten over the fact that Michele, Camille, and I won’t complete a set, let alone get more than the 3 different pins we already have 😭

Recon Bull (@ReconBull) reported$GME shares fall to a two-year low of $17.87, down from an April high of $26.90, as investors await earnings on Tuesday. The decline follows reports that the company may scrap its potential acquisition of eBay. Revenue reached $835 million in the March quarter.

Raffe Winston (@winston_raffe) reported@middle_class_us If the world changes you either change or adapt to it. Our live in nanny / housekeeper goes to area goodwills and looks for vintage clothes to sell on eBay. She also works 1-2 nights a week at Dennys. Stop complaining or act. She is close to a starter home down payment.

EF Comix (@11975MHz) reportedHad an Air Force family live down the street from me. The oldest son was the neighborhood know-it-all and show-off. Of course, he had the nicest, most expensive bike among all the kids. Mongoose had a deal going with military exchanges, and last time I visited the nearest base commissary, they still do. Anyway this kid had a Mongoose. The Blue Max branded Mongoose. About two years later his dad was caught doing PCS fraud. Lost his commission. Had to sell his prize 1960s Corvette he kept in the garage. Had to sell the house pronto because the Air Force yanked his BAH the day they yanked his commission. They even tried to give away a Hawaiian vacation to whoever bought that stupid house, the poor fools. They never sold it. They defaulted. They showed up in town a few years later, the entire family riding motorcycles. They had no home anymore, so they just rode motorcycles, as a family, around the United States. Anyway if you still have your Mongoose or Hutch or Redline, they go for a lot of money on Ebay now.

The Nature Of Code (@thenatureofcode) reported$GME Preliminary Q2: Sales expected $780–800M (down YoY on store closures and prior-year launches). Operating income $150–170M and net income $290–310M, boosted by eBay investment gains. Strong balance sheet remains.

Ratchlock in the Rain ⛈️🥀 (@DamnitKnightly) reported@boomboomfaia Yeah we had to turn off shipping TO the EU because of LUCID and the new PPWR rulings (US based issue for Etsy/Ebay) But I do believe acggoods does handle most of that since they are the ones producing and shipping the items. Only thing is the tariffs but that is customer based

Yash / Bella 🧩 (@Yasharkbos) reported@StixNBallzCards @askebay @eBay I mean the seller was nice. People sell in so many different ways and cross post all the time. Stuff gets missed or forgotten to be taken down. Seems like your attitude is the wrong one.

Alex | Wizard of Wealth (@alexthegoodlife) reported@TinyToothDDS I pretty much started two weeks ago lol I’m just selling off cards that I had collected in my youth, mostly junk, wax baseball, basketball, and football and a little bit of Pokémon. I did buy a Rollo printer for $200 and have no regrets, it makes it much faster to do my envelopes. So far I’ve closed 34 sales for about 600 bucks. I’ve usually paid eBay to promote at about 10% but I recently heard it is a waste of money so I’m trying 5% and if stuff keeps selling, I’ll go down to zero promotion and try that

Gav (@afgavinstan) reported@Shuttsapalooza Yeah it's bad times out there. I've a pal that buys broken yins off ebay and sorts them before punting them, I'll ask about. If you absolutely need a guarantee/warranty, Sony do sell refurbs with a slight discount + 1yr warranty, seems a solid choice.

Nick Dodd (@nickdodd) reported@GeniusGTX ...and now you can buy Tesla V100s for $200/ea on eBay. 8 for $1600, another $1600 for a 4U rack server (with 128GB ram, 2x20-core CPUs, etc). $3200 and you can build a 128GB GPU server roughly equal to the DGX1.

OnlyCharizard (@OnlyCharizard) reported@JesseBallCards @CardPurchaser @eBay lol You are just exposing yourself for being a bad seller. eBay fees are 13% which is less than any LCS or card show dealer will charge. You have extra fees because your seller performance is low. Dont blame eBay for your own problems

Number 5 (@NumberFiveAlive) reported@EcommerceBytes I changed mine to pass on the discounting shipping already because it seems most buyers are fed up with the USPS hikes. The only problem with this is that eBay calculates shipping into the seller fees so it becomes a slight loss for the sellers.
