Stay Predictable (@staypredictable) reported@Koalalogic741 @ryancohen But also, maybe with all this new info, a revised offer should be made due to all these eBay issues
-
Vito Pilieci (@Vpilieci) reported@ryancohen I have no real opinion over this. But, I will say as a small scale developer who is trying to build an app that will push people towards eBay, the company's recent decisions to lock down all APIs and wall off app development (during an AI APP BOOM) is baffling.

DarkHollow (@DarkHollowArt) reportedMy drawing tablet is out for repair but the guy is making me very nervous. Last time I talked to him on the phone he was poking around the inside and trying to get me to buy another off ebay to swap parts around instead of doing the *known* permanent repair to my issue that I am asking to be done..
-
Privateer Hosting (@PrivateerHosted) reported@samuel_hayden_ Replicating serious work is fairly trivial on the hardware side once you go on eBay. But your dislike of Proxmox is a skill issue
-
The Greatest Escape (@HalifaxJB869) reported@russellcrowe 100% spot on. RC set his boundaries, signed for people and all was good. A lot of people refuse to sign stuff these days as it just goes straight on ebay, fair play to Russell for still signing merchandise frankly. Like he says 'what's the problem' ?

Joe | Reselling & Facebook Marketplace Expert (@jearl02s) reportedI have a firman inverter and my mechanic can’t figure it out…. From time to time he can’t figure it out..: I usually will take the good parts off of it and use them in other repairs..:: Sometimes I sell a few parts on eBay… This one I decided to list as a “mechanic special” As-Is..listed for $100…: A guy messaged me and asked for a video::: I gave him a video…. He asked if I’d take 40… No… 50…. 60… 70… (I did say yes if he could pickup today). He dropped by at lunch…. He brought some carb spray… He then asked me where the air filter was..:: I showed him…behind a panel… He asked for a screw driver…to take the panel off…. I told him no I have to go to lunch and the plan wasn’t to let you see if you can fix it and then give me $70 for it… He then said it was too Risky at $70 and offered me $50…. I told him No… He left without it for $20… I should have let him fix it then told it would be $200…. This is why I love reselling! You meet unique folks!!

The Barbiter (@The_Barbiter1) reportedSpeaking purely morally, disregarding the rules from ebay that you can't sell modded consoles—WHY DOES IT MATTER? The 3ds is officially a dead console. Nintendo doesn't offer replacement parts anymore, the eshop is dead, and all of the online features ARE SHUT DOWN
-
MadMexican74 (@Javy_Alonzo) reported@eBay @eBay #Ebay I’m really frustrated at this point. Nothing has been resolved, and there haven’t been any updates or communication. I’ve been patient, but I need a real update on what’s being done and when this issue is actually going to be fixed.

Andrei Savin (@andreisavin) reported@zach_yadegari Most successful dropshippers are arbitraging a loophole and go well beyond "marketing". There was once this website BookDepository (since acquired by Amazon) that was offering worldwide "free shipping" but really just adjusting the price based on your IP location. Around 2010, I had an eBay store where I was dropshipping books everywhere in the world while buying them with a UK IP address. I needed 0 marketing: my prices were actually better than everyone on eBay. The platform itself was promoting me while I was also holding 0 inventory and taking a cut and I could barely keep up with orders. I was eventually shut down, these kind of schemes don't last. Don't actually do dropshipping lol it's more rewarding to actually build something new.

Mike DeGilio (@MikeDeGilio) reportedFollowing up on this. Despite @eBay refusing to do anything for the infinite people affected by this, you can and should go through paypal or file a chargeback with your credit card. Ebay said it's impossible to return it and refused any reasonable refund. Paypal/CC will force them to accept the return for a full refund if you provide photo evidence of receiving what you purchased damaged. Forcefully, get your money back from this trash company. Also, the return address is @PSAcard. Absolutely embarrassing that a company that specializes in the card market for 30+ years lacks even a basic understanding of how to ship a card so it doesn't get mangled. 6+ months ago they acknowledged this is an issue and would be changing packaging and still nothing has been done. Criminal levels of negligence and zero accountability unless they're forced. Change will come when we stop allowing them to say "I understand we damaged the card but I still think it'll get a PSA7, so it's exactly what you ordered" and force full refunds on every single bit of value lost due to their incompetence.

Alex Bowman 🔑🎐 (@AlexBow41645801) reported@pokorakun Sorry about the broken Guitar Hero jitar. Maybe you xan watch a diy video on how to fix it. Or just get a new one. I have a feeling a retro game store or eBay probably has more than enough to get one for cheep
-
Coffee Connoisseur 1000 (@MTBbronco) reported@Joferjeff Had issues with them the past year. No returns means no returns. Dude had a sports watch I sold him for over 30 days. He had buyers remorse and on day 35 said the watch was broken. Ebay sided with him. I got the watch back and tested it. It worked fine. Ebay didn't care.
-
ronanonymous * (goose) (@sirronhale) reported@KSOCards @CardPurchaser The listing says excellent not near mint. Excellent means it has damage or normal wear. Read the condition description from EBay. Kinda in the wrong to leave bad review because you didn’t read the description. It’s not on sellers to fix an item that is sold as listed.
-
Nuts! (@WestMichAnon) reported@spikesguides @disencabula42 Go eBay, buy an old pair of decent leather boots. Bring to your local cobbler and have them fix them the way you like them. Cobblers are making a come back.

𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐢 (@sjgiardini) reported@Joferjeff i have a friend who sells classic guitars on ebay. i told him about your situation (he's complained before that the deck is stacked against sellers). his response: encourage him to contact HUMAN customer service by phone. I had to do it twice in a recent episode to be successful. Ebay is now using AI to handle most customer service issues. The AI always seems to side with buyer (often ignoring a carefully worded message). Again, I was successful but I had to get human customer service (twice) and I had to be persistent. I have every belief that he will not be successful if he pursues it only through the written word. I doubt a human will ever read it. hope it helps...
-
Bachilles (@Bachillez) reported@JohnNumbers I also just suggest with very valuable items to find someone you can sell to privately or someone you can trust, eBay and PayPal always has the potential for issues for sellers if you sell to the wrong person
-
Hungry Hobo (@TeslaP90DL) reported@Bob_Bingi45 @M46726805 @mrfundman It’s simple you can get a new module for a model S for $200 on eBay.. 9 times out of 10 if there’s a problem, it’s just with one of the modules and your back on the road.. do you realize that they have a eight year 150k mile warranty on the battery and powertrain?
-
your design here (@BBIGRetlWillWin) reported@ValueAddedRS I can’t see @ryancohen letting this kind of thing happen! That’s why I put a pause on selling on the @ebay platform after 25 years of doing so. It lost all fun and excitement for me as a seller. It became more trouble than it was worth.
-
Judyth Vary Baker (@Judyth) reported@marybowdenMD: Amazon issues an ISBN number for every book it sells, incl this plagiarized knock-off. So go to Sellers Central. Demand they revoke the plagiarized book's ISBN number. If they refuse, sue for ignoring copyright. BTW, Amazon shows my book, LEE HARVEY OSWALD AND ME, but won't let anybody buy it! (please get it on eBay!).
-
N.E.Will (@TheRealNickW86) reported@Michael_i_Leib @NFL1stLook @greenstoslopes It’s eBay that’s responsible for it after authentication though so it’s not an issue for the buyer. I’m starting to wonder why you’re simping so hard for ****** buyers?
-
Niall (@Niall_Ky) reported@HackForumsNet @Mericamemed Nah. You can get a lot of great workstation and server stuff off ebay for decent prices. Let's say I hypothetically have 8 sticks of 32G RDIMM sitting around. There's well priced HP and Lenovo workstations with 8x slots on ebay for days.
-
Mob Miz (@MobSquad508) reported@Joferjeff They’ve been terrible . They let someone get a refund when i had a shipment in the mail. The customer won’t send the money back and ebay keeps denying me my money back . Nasty work from them lately.
-
Alex Zarac (@AlexZarac) reported@adamlf81 Actually, eBay is returning value to their shareholders by making their shares more valuable, Ebay also issues dividends. The eBay shareholders had voted on eBay‘s compensation package and this was one of the caveats, a stock grant. Moreover there are no naked shorts.
-
Chalala🐾🇺🇸 (@AZhalala) reported@Joferjeff Wow. You won! Good for you! I don't think I would wanna be a seller on eBay. Too many people trying to scam. Apparently, this is a new eBay scam. You send the item, the purchaser tells you they received the item broken. You ask for a picture and they send you a picture of the broken item. In fact, it's not broken. The crack or break was added via Al. Instead of giving a refund and letting the purchaser keep the item, ask for the item back.
-
The original Retrogamer (@OCfromMG) reported@Joferjeff Ebay is a total scam, as a seller you are ****** and at the mercy of Ebay. They can restrict or ban your account for whatever reason. You can have a selling limit of 100k+ per month and the next month u got down to 1k because the postal service ****** up a delivery.
-
Tell Me More (@PlentyOfPivots) reported@brrrrrady @CardPurchaser I know absolutely nothing about how to get shipping costs down. I just use the default cheapest option on eBay for the package type. Please inform me on how you do cheaper shipping
-
Anti-porn (@antipornganggg) reported@phresh_arrow My issue is I never got started. I luckily have an eBay account I can list 5 million dollars on. Only thing I did right
-
🐝rad (@bbprospector) reported@CardPurchaser Is anybody having issues with eBay compressing their photos. Recently the photo quality is poor.
-
CRYPTIC (@OKLETSDOTHIS007) reported@grok @SawyerMerritt Meh. Just go to EBay or other places and buy it now with lower mileage. Prices r down.
-
Phoenix 🍉 (@Phoen1xWolf) reported@MatTamDude @briannaagain Not purge their sections on the Glitch store and allow new fans of both shows to get merch without having to sell their limbs for scalped items on eBay that’s are ALSO hard to come by???
