  @AndyCollectz This is going down some more. There are 500+ results on ebay, and that doesn’t count the quantity that each seller has lmao

  @Poke_Bondo eBay or PayPal GnS? both with buyer protection. If you still don’t feel comfortable after having those protections in place, then it sounds like the issue isn’t trust or safety. I’m happy to proceed through either platform as long as you cover the fees😔

  @LittleLateOG I got nothing against proxies, now selling them but pretending they're real is bad. Ebay has this issue at times.

  I will never give @ebay another penny of my money. I signed up for a new business account to sell an antique item I found in a storage unit. It admittedly was not in the greatest condition so I went online and painstakingly researched what I should do to be as honest and specific about it in order to not cause a problem. After going to town to list this item in the best possible way, showing every photo possible and acknowledging the exact kind of clientele this was for, my account got hit with an immediate AI suspension email. "because of activity that we believe was putting the eBay community at risk." Nothing to tell me why it was risky, nothing to tell me what I did wrong or what I should do about it or how to fix it. No simply denying the listing and letting me keep the account, no asking questions about the item, or even a hint as to what will happen next. No, I had to contact them by email to ask what I need to do to fix this. The response? PERMANENTLY suspended. Again, not a single reason. Just because. Google AI ends up telling me that this is a huge reported problem for a ton of sellers, and that the "permanent" ban is not as permanent as I think, and that I should use the phone line to request a review and maybe get it restored. The phone rep told me this suspension was all about "verification." Why would you do a suspension for that? Why not just tell me in the beginning to wait until the account is good? But at least, now I'm thinking this isn't so bad. We can fix this, now. Instead, the guy looked at the case for all of two minutes and without asking a single question just said "Nope, it stays suspended" and gave me just as little information. In his own words, said "we cannot give you any information." That's it. No day in court. No deductive reasoning. "Just done.... Shut up and go away...because we said so, that's why." And you can't blame it on bots, this time because a literal human being told me: "No, I can't tell you anything." "We understand that this must be frustrating, but this decision was not made lightly." And yet you sure handled it lightly enough. I'm sure that 2 minutes on hold must have been one heck of a deliberation. It was a book, BTW. An antique book.

  @Saytrx @Oqgick159745 @xboxuk Not the Series S m8. Plus you gotta look further than the regular retail shops, GameStop and eBay. Check marketplace, offer up or your local **** shops. I got my base disc ps5 for $350 with no issues. Yet even through these options, the series still sells for more than a PS5.

  @ray_ray200108 @sepamoanon These people are so simple minded. They live in the present. Zero awareness of anything but first order stuff. They cannot comprehend that physical prices are cheaper 24/7. If a game is on sale on Amazon, it will drive down prices on eBay, etc. and/or lower other retailer prices.

  This seems like another unnecessary tax on Europeans like IOSS which is constantly fumbled by exporters and then you have to pay for manual tax processing costs. Here is my personal example ordering an antique item on eBay. IOSS was issued, paid for and assigned. Dutch customs / @PostNL declared that it was transmitted incorrectly and made me pay €1.18 VAT again including €10 euro manual processing cost. I’ve checked my AliExpress account and most of my purchases were spare parts for my electronics. Now I’ll pay 3€ markup (+and arbitrary processing costs every time somebody ***** up) to be able to fix my things. So much for promoting repair and reuse..

  @tedfrank @ScottFriedman3 You need to re-read it, because it's clear they need to offer comparable or better tickets first ...and they use the word offer for refund which means the person has the option to turn down the refund and make them comply with getting them tickets that are comparable or better. And by the way StubHub was a client of mine before they were bought out by EBAY and that's exactly how it is supposed to play out with the priority. If you're not satisfied with the replacements tickets only turn can they offer refund.

  A lot of new people here, this one’s for you. 🚨How to stop losing money to eBay return scammers. They buy your clean, working item… then ship back a broken piece of junk & demand a full refund. I recently learned this $7.49 trick & it’s an absolute game changer: Grab a cheap UV security pen (the exact one I use from amazon is in the photo). Before you ship, write a unique personal code or mark in a hidden spot on the item. It’s completely invisible to the naked eye, but lights up under any blacklight. When the return comes back, just shine the light. No matching mark? That’s not your original item. Upload the before/after UV photos in your eBay case and watch your win rate skyrocket. 🚀 Pro tip: Make the code truly unique, your own handwriting style, a random symbol only you make. Something scammers can’t duplicate even if they know the method. Resellers: add this to your process TODAY. It will save you hundreds (or thousands) in the long run. Who’s trying this? Let me know in the comments if you’re adding UV marking to your process. Also, would love to hear your best return scam stories below! Happy selling! Let's grow!

  @mrnextmusic @WallStreetApes Yes I have heard hundresds of GPU fans and CPU fans I used to min bitcoin in 2012 I had a rack in my house all bought off new egg and ebay. Maybe there is some kinda AI chip I dono about thats always possible that why I highly doubt it. Your more then welcome to go to New egg amazon or any other electronics place and build a server with PC parts all it is a hard drive and stronger CPU and AI has GPU's. I am not going to teach you something you should learn yourself if you are that invested in the subject.

  Your competitor's repricing algorithm doesn't sleep. Yours doesn't exist. Built VigilEdge to fix that — an AI agent that watches your listings across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Etsy, catches MAP violations and competitor price moves, auto-adjusts within your rules, and alerts you

  I can’t wait for Amazon and eBay to go full AI. And I especially don’t want Amazon showing me a bunch of other stuff I did not search for. That is one of the biggest problems with online shopping now. You search for something specific, and the platform starts mixing in sponsored products, loosely related products, “customers also bought,” promoted brands, and random junk that only sort of matches the words you typed. That is not intelligence. That is advertising pressure disguised as search. AI should fix that. If I search for a specific part, tool, cable, filter, book, or replacement item, I want the system to understand the intent and narrow the results, not expand them into a shopping carnival. If I ask for a 14-inch shelf bracket, don’t show me 12-inch brackets, floating shelves, decorative hooks, or something that paid to be near the result. A real AI shopping assistant should be able to say: “This is the exact item you searched for.” “These are compatible alternatives.” “These are not compatible, even though the listing looks similar.” “This seller is risky.” “This one is overpriced.” “You bought something similar before.” That is where AI could actually improve shopping. Not by showing more products, but by showing fewer, better, more relevant products. The problem with Amazon and eBay is not lack of inventory. It is too much noise between the user and the thing they actually need. AI should become the filter that protects the buyer from the platform’s own clutter. Maybe Elon should start here on X - and use Grok to drive it... of course -... call it the X-Store.

  @DanFriedman81 You can just rip them and host them yourself, it's a bigger cost upfront but you actually own the media. Digital is not the problem, the problem is having to pay 5 subscriptions to watch an objectively worse version of the same movie you can buy for 5 bucks on ebay

  @LapisLazuli828 I got screwed out of one while it was in my cart at launch, had to get it scalped on eBay to be able to play the games I bought for it without having the inverse problem the PS4 had of zero launch games and it sitting there as a glorified blu-ray player for like 5 or 6 months.

Amazon or eBay, do some price comparing an get a low priced one that looks like the one below and it’ll sort out the situation

  @ValueAddedRS I have had many calls with them. They’re all working from home & tell you the same story, it’s actually bizarre how scripted they are. They all say “I’m an eBay seller as well” and “they’ve experienced “issue” - I swear their training is more like being a hostage negotiator & the results ALWAYS benefit the buyer whereas @ryancohen sees the seller as the commodity - not a gig data farming ***** like eBay currently is.

  @gospaceport Even though I set the jumper to 10.10.10.10, flashed cmos etc. Ebay sometimes works out well, sometimes is not good - this was the latter. It makes me wonder how good the Asus ESC4000a is. Now i'm thinking of a custom rackmount build vs GPU server.
