    @Farhanrj389 @eBay @Payoneer I got the same problem for like 3 months until I just gave up

    @Kyl0Z3n I’ve been saying this. There is no obligation to hold since eBay turned down the offer, GME can always come back later with more cash to try again if they really want. Also they should do well with this next earnings, stock should go up and require less dilution

    This exactly why I stick to ebay they slow as **** on depop and they scammers.

    @FedExHelp Don't have tracking numbers since this has happened over the years. Whether I order from Walmart, Petsmart, ebay, The Feed or Amazon, every package arrives so dusty that you'd think they were through a sand storm. Several boxes got broken. Got compensation from sellers, though.

    eBay $EBAY is sitting on $6.7B in gross debt, paying $61M/quarter in interest, and about to drop $1.2B cash on Depop. Yet management just declared another $0.31/share dividend (~$556M annualized), with tomorrow (May 29) as the ex-dividend date and cash going out June 12. Buffett said it best in his 1984 letter: “Unrestricted earnings should be retained only when there is a reasonable prospect that for every dollar retained by the corporation, at least one dollar of market value will be created for owners.” eBay is returning hundreds of millions to shareholders annually while simultaneously carrying nearly $7B in gross debt at $244M in annual interest charges. That capital could be paying down debt, shoring up the balance sheet ahead of a $1.2B acquisition close, or reinvested into a platform that is visibly losing competitive ground. Instead, the company is prioritizing optics over fundamentals. Active buyers grew just 1% YoY. The platform went down for ~48 hours in April after a cyberattack. The board quietly rewrote its own oversight committee charters after settling a federal cyberstalking criminal case. Sellers are now filing class action suits over surprise fee structures. A company with genuine earnings power and a clean balance sheet paying a dividend makes sense. A leveraged platform with stagnating user growth, mounting legal exposure, and a nine-figure acquisition pending doing the same deserves serious scrutiny.

    @MemeStockMillyz I understand that but even if that happens the core issue still ain’t fixed and even if eBay accusation happens it remains to be seen if it can turn into a good thing. Even if it does the core issue with GameStop is it still has done nothing to solve digital gaming.

    If you don’t get it Aladdin roaring kitty is going to login and crowdraise funds to buy eBay in less than an hour. That’s the power of retail. That noise? Oh it’s just the sound of brokeback

    XRT hammers down GME...but Ryan Cohen is buying eBay also in XRT...the same time that someone is hammering CHWY with 5,000 order blocks also in XRT. So without getting turned into a pretzel you refill XRT and use the GME shares on borrow. @MichaelTLoPiano

    @NoLuckLugia Again what I say isn’t excusing it but show me who’s perfect. eBay has multiple issues between shipping/ese and the authentication process damaging cards or how about how the entire body of the company doesn’t even support it? You got usps sniping packs based on the senders name

  • HatterMaddie17
    Maddie Hatter (@HatterMaddie17) reported

    I used to sell stuff on eBay quite often, but the fees for sellers keep going up incrementally making it not worth the trouble to sell. In fact, the effective cost per sale has gone up by about 8–10% for many transactions compared to 2021 levels. Doesn’t eBay understand that their customers aren’t just buyers, but sellers too? This is one thing I’d like Ryan Cohen to consider if GameStop acquires eBay. $GME $eBay

    Look out! GME TAKEOVER EBAY whilst their pants are down. Caught between fiduciary duties and brazen corporate crime and theft of public company. EBay board will now have a lot of criminal proceedings as their blatant lack knowledge of how to run a business is negligible

    You know what I hate, I hate buying things from Ebay, leaving the seller a great review and he (or she) doesn't bother reviewing me as a buyer. So my last review was sometime last year and I've bought at least 4 things since then and paid immediately. No issues, no problems. Sigh

    @idealideas @ThePPseedsShow GameStop is not buying eBay. Ryan is making everyone effort to make wallstreet believe he wants ebay, wants shirts to leverage up, double down shorting, then wham, out of left field Teddy arrives. Shorts caught holding their diks while watching eBay theatre.

    @Matt_Rellihan @CardPurchaser Yeah I turned down $45 right off the jump, kicking myself for it now. Sometimes you die by the sword on eBay! Lmao.

    @MindOfRusso High price errors are atrocious on amazon right now. I'm getting limited to $29.99 for a product (which is fully unavailable on amazon because no seller is selling at $29.99), so instead I sold hundreds of them on ebay for $60+ instead lol

  • BetterDays47
    ARB_Investing (@BetterDays47) reported

    @ChaddSchroy They’re going with RC. Not only merger will not happen, EBAY and GME shares will be down at the same time. Don’t you think the people that shorted GME to infinity can’t short ebay the same way? RC fumbled big time after getting those billions of dollars. There was the world’s safest upside: just buy some mega caps that are impossible to be shorted against their great fundamentals. And after doubling the cash, sell and start buying back the bonds and even do share buybacks…. GME could have been a $100 stock with this strategy. But RC preferred to bail out the shorts for tge first 10 years. His plan is working… retail is losing.

    @RDKLInc Except one time for me it was way under what it really cost. I shipped a big 1U server - eBay said 30 ish dollars but USPS charged me close to a 100.

    @g0lden8ge Antique roadshow: unfortunately Yes. The articles about people going to yard/estate sales and picking up a painting that’s actually a super rare one that’s worth a million dollars have slowed down. If you have something worth anything you just sell it on eBay.

    @BALLBAKEDTAKES This is actually the best process if you don’t want to get scammed. The problem is eBay authenticator shipping the card to you and it’s halfway out the sleeve lol

    @m74ft1 @powerpacks @natsturner Pretty sure it’s an eBay issue. I’ve had some never payout, eBay still list the cert as sold for the inflated price months later. Had to email PSA just to get card unlocked in the app so that I could relist etc.
