  Hello @eBay, my account "alterprecision" was recently hit with an MC999 suspension without a clear explanation. I’ve tried contacting support but couldn’t get details. I’m ready to resolve any issue, kindly requesting a fair and manual review of my account, thanks for your help.

  @AltonHibbert @eBay Yeah right, if I try setting that up there will be a problem and my acct will get locked out or something. eBay is a joke, they couldn’t even respond. How to ruin a platform 101…. Remove all the sellers making it happen.

  @fatparoon @skunkapecards @CardPurchaser L take. If you win an item you pay for the item. Buyers are often brain dead and miss notifications. He was kind enough to remind as kindly as you can. But to be fair auctions on eBay are outdated and any real seller only does buy it now, which solves this problem.

  @TheBronxViking "Stock Swap This is the most likely path. Instead of paying cash, GameStop would issue a massive amount of new shares and give them to eBay shareholders. The Math: GameStop would offer eBay shareholders, say, 4 shares of $GME for every 1 share of eBay. The Result: After the deal, the former eBay shareholders would own about 80% of the combined company, but the entity would still be called "GameStop," and Ryan Cohen’s management team would remain in control."

  @johnennis @amazon buying 3rd party is touch and go, as I don’t get the impression that amazon vets them out coosely (ebay has a similar problem). I’m sorry you’re going through all this.

  @Joh_Rea @old_xian Same, I'm stuck with either Ebay or Amazon & praying the money actually gets to Old Xian. Really wish Mosspaca would open up some official shops outside of Taobao. I've had a lot of problems trying to order from Taobao in the past

  @eatlearnplay @eBay @eBay please fix your holding of sellers funds unnecessarily. Even after a buyer receives package, acknowledges on chat and left a positive feedback since last week. You guys are still holding my funds For what?

  @realBergandine @pubity GameStop's fiscal 2025 revenue (ended Jan 2026) was $3.63 billion, down 5% YoY. They reported $418M net income and hold ~$9B in cash/marketable securities. A $12B eBay deal would be massive relative to their size—possible with cash + stock/debt raises, but it'd require heavy dilution or more financing and isn't a simple "afford" given scale differences.

  @zerohedge Not Amazon tells you the whole story. This isn’t scale. It’s financial engineering in a meme stock costume. Buying eBay doesn’t fix GameStop’s identity crisis, it just makes the confusion bigger.

  @eBay Sold a watch through authentication, buyer initiated a return saying the stem came out upon first use. In my messages they sent a pic with the date changed and working and now I'm sitting with the case on hold twice waiting for them to return it. This is terrible service

  @JaguarAnalytics According to Gemini, with a Stock Swap "A stock swap is the most likely path. Instead of paying cash, GameStop would issue a massive amount of new shares and give them to eBay shareholders. The Math: GameStop would offer eBay shareholders, say, 4 shares of $GME for every 1 share of eBay. The Result: After the deal, the former eBay shareholders would own about 80% of the combined company, but the entity would still be called "GameStop," and Ryan Cohen’s management team would remain in control." Leverage buyout is the other option, but after building the massive cash reserve that would feel very counterintuitive.

  @riotmci @TheFootyFeed Every one of you, never went to Maine Road (did I mention, I have), buy retro kits on eBay, because your support isn't passed down from father to son, but glory-seeking... always manufacture a variable to define success.

  @WatcherGuru $GME just surged +9% because they’re trying to buy eBay Bro went from “dying mall store with zero future” to “we’re acquiring the entire internet’s garage sale empire” overnight. Diamond hands bros who held through $4: “I KNEW IT. My 47,000 Funko Pops finally have a home.” Roaring Kitty somewhere: quietly sipping coffee while the squeeze becomes a takeover Next: Buy one broken controller, get one haunted Beanie Baby free.

  you're paying for clicks but your images can't convert. product photos are doing 80% of the selling. most brands spend 5% of their effort on them. eBay. Airbnb. DoorDash. UberEats. Deliveroo. GrubHub. different industries. same finding: → one good image beats zero images on conversion → a second image lifts it again → Airbnb hosts with pro photos earn up to 20% more → high-quality menu photos drive more orders. every app. every time. photos are not decoration. they are the conversion event. but here's where most brands get stuck: → designers cost a fortune → photoshoots take weeks → manual design doesn't scale across SKUs → bad visuals quietly kill your CTR — and you never see it in the data you keep buying traffic your images can't close the sales. same product. same ad spend. worse result. the fix isn't more budget. it's better visuals, faster, on repeat. → test variations weekly, not yearly → iterate on data, not taste → treat every product photo like a paid ad creative here's what i put together: → the data behind why visuals decide conversion → how to produce product images without a designer → the workflow brands use to ship 20+ variations a week want it? 1/ comment "VISUALS" 2/ like this post i'll send it over.

  @zerohedge GameStop acquiring eBay would be a wild full-circle moment (retailer buys marketplace) but Amazon doesn't need eBay's junk inventory problem. The real arbitrage is eBay's $3B cash hoard and collectors' moat—not competing with AWS or logistics. $GME gets a reve

  @MoneyPrinter @Pregory1 It would be hard to own more than 1/3 of it, which they would need to to only need to issue the 400m shares in Weeds example. Think of it from the eBay shareholders side. They need to get $120 per share (2 gme shares + $60) - the $9b in cash only gets $30, the rest has to come from somewhere too.

  @fatparoon @skunkapecards @CardPurchaser The buyer bid and won the auction… the seller did ask nicely the day before without a response. If you are a buyer and find yourself in a position where you’re tired of eBay, reminding you to pay as well as the seller and you choose not to communicate, You are the problem

  @SlimReaperCards @eBay @USPS Yeah, I have never done ESE bc every time you open this app there is another person with an issue! I may be in the minority here, but I’d rather just offer shipping at 2.99 or 3.99 & eat a couple dollars on shipping + fees than fool with ESE issues or potential negative feedback.

  thanks to corporate inertia and ossification, @eBay is actually worse to use today then the 2000s. got an issue? likely needs a specialised team that isn't available 24/7 and only responds with generic solution emails. need a refund? sorry, don't do partial refunds and you have to send the item back at your cost. item misrouted? no worries, we wait until _after_ the ETA to notify the carrier so a 1 week delivery ends up the better part of 2 months.

  A new scam is running on ebay! They claim your item was delivered but they sent you the wrong invoice! The other problem is, eBay believes the damn seller when there's proof to the contrary! So, at this point, it's buyer beware!
