  @RDKLInc Yeah… they don’t want to give you the working ones anymore, either. It’s starting to get so bad, even the repairable ones are sorted out first, too. Even on eBay, most “defective, for parts, not working”, are listed after repair attempts only, and they try to scam not disclosing

  @eBay when a seller chooses your ESE option and pays for it, it should come out at that time just like any other service one chooses to ship with. It’s annoying as hell to see my balance go down 2-3 day later and have to track which fee it was for

  I already had the first two Bendy and Boris ones from back when they were being sent out. The scary lil Christmas ones I got later down the line on eBay, and the naughty or nice one this year on Mercari.

  @CCCollectorTCG I ship via eBay to third-party shipping companies almost daily. I've never had any concerns or issues with them. All the orders work out fine.

  @capitaloneshop having issues unlocking eBay gift cards that I redeemed couple months ago. Giving me an error. Can someone help?

• 
  Hysterian (@HysterianYT) reported 18 minutes ago

  @SonicBlueRanger The prices for them on eBay aren’t terrible in all fairness, given that not all that many copies were published. It just depends if you’re willing to spend anywhere from £30 to nearly £50 a piece for them.

  @packaddictsnw Yeah eBay needs to do something with the tracking on these. I’ve gotten way more “buyer didn’t receive item” and have to issue a refund.

  Explain the issues for us to see if you're trustworthy or not. It's a 10$ card man you're not giving the winner a Tesla. If you don't have the card in hand, just Buy it on eBay and just send it to him... If you won't do something this simple, please stop trying to infiltrate your way into this space.

  TL;DR Sales down, profits up, cash lower because they turned the eBay options into real shares. • Sales: $780–800M vs $972M last year. Drop is mostly Switch 2 anniversary, store closures, and selling France. • Operating income: $150–170M vs $66M. Core operations got a lot more profitable. • Net income: $290–310M vs $169M. Includes ~$238M eBay gain, minus ~$75M digital-asset loss. • Cash: $5.05–5.07B vs $8.69B last year. Cash fell because they converted the eBay derivatives into 43.4 million eBay shares, now worth about $4.95B. • Full results drop September 8.

  @tahiniok Yes it's called the AuraTone phone antenna. I you can pick one up on eBay from the manufacturer bypassing me and saving yourself some money. I don't want you to pay extra with me if money is an issue that is why it's open source. I have a post on who I go through somewhere.

  Day 208 Total sales: $737.96 eBay earnings: $504.99 Buy cost (COG): $82.27 Net profit: $422.72 ROI: 514% Items sold: Electrical equipment, printer ink, printer parts, automotive transmission parts, marine electronics, & a toilet repair component. Another strong day. $737 in sales & over $422 in net profit from just 7 completed sales. What stands out to me is the variety. Electrical, automotive, marine, printing, plumbing, you don't necessarily need to specialize in one category to build a profitable eBay business. You need to get good at finding the right products at the right price. That's still the biggest lesson I've learned through this journey. A $100 sale isn't nearly as exciting if you paid $90 for it. But when you can consistently find inventory for a fraction of its potential selling price, the numbers start working in your favor. Today's $82.27 in COG turned into $422.72 in profit. That's the game. Buy right. List consistently. Be patient. Keep improving. 208 days down. On to Day 209. 📦💪

  @davidareader @yeehahboogie @eevblog Ebay seem to have bought the Inpost contract from Vinted, not been option for while on Vinted. Standard US monopoly their basic search is full of issues, zero innovation but buy up the competition, or their main postage method anyway Need to rename as eDropshipbay since 2004..

  @WristByAde I wonder about authenticity when I buy watches off eBay. I don’t spend much and I can’t imagine the oddballs I do buy are worth the trouble to counterfeit. I think the big issues I have are with “Frankenwatches” so watches that are put together with non-original parts

  @TucsonToucan @SaffronOlive I have seen worse out of WotC. I remember War of the Spark: Mythic Edition on eBay and ordering 2 of them. WotC had 12k units and a "glitch" caused over 40k to be sold. I ended up with an uncut M/R foil sheet as my order was canceled. After that WotC started Secret Lair.

  @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

  @eBay and sellers game the feedback removal. Removed negative feedback that was left after legitimate issue with an order.

  Following the clear confusion between labeling a jersey with a MEARS letter game used, I am hearing @eBay and @GoldinCo have finally decided to change their policies. No word on exactly what the shift is, but it is clear @eBay has recognized the liability created by selling objects as game used that their own internal team would clearly have reason to believe are not. Times have changed and credit to eBay for responding to it. Probably saved themselves from big issues down the road.
