    @0cPlights @jomickane @politvidchannel Oh no, not the scary gold card clip again. Hes talking about skilled immigration and investor visas not handing out passports at the gift shop. You still have to go through years of vetting. It’s not eBay for citizenship, calm down.

  • Sumobowski Sweets (@Sumobowski) reported

    @ryancohen I heard some folk had/ have trouble putting in a bid for the auction. Also the bid count has gone down.. What gives @eBay

  • MogRagga RaggaMog (Morri-Arty)🎨✒️📚 (@MogRagga) reported

    @Jemimasgarden Eh? I bought something off eBay yesterday with no problems 😳. If they start this nonsense they can *******.

  • lustrafemme 🍉 iria (xae/xel/xaers) (@lustrafemme) reported

    still awful that ebay has it at all but at least it's only one element and they dont push it as much i think. i just saw it on the login page to poshmark they're so proud of themselves i hope they sink

  • dennis_evola Dennis Evola (@dennis_evola) reported

    I’m going to try and pay off my mortgage by selling wheat pennies with minting errors on eBay #artOfTheDeal #1¢

  • phattskis Tennessee Phred (@phattskis) reported

    @hesaias @kundal1n1 Thank you kindly! Dig your login (What a show-“say my name!”) I made them from “chrome” knobs from eBay and cheap Grateful Dead cufflinks that I used to wear for work, along with gorilla glue. They are total one-offs.

  • aemills3 ctrlaltdefi.algo (@aemills3) reported

    @DungeonNoir To their credit, eBay does a much better job with making sure their marketplace is clean than even Amazon does nowadays. If you don't see that "prime" symbol on Amazon, who knows what you'll get. I'll not even go into the grey market problems Amazon has had for years.

  • stephenwilson04 Stephen Wilson (@stephenwilson04) reported

    @ebay my Royal Mail drop-off has problems printing your "simple" delivery prepaid labels. So even though the buyer is paying for postage, I'm having to end up paying the postage myself. You're really doing everything in your power to alienate sellers from using your site. You need to scrap the simple delivery or go back to giving sellers the option not to use it. And don't even get me started on your UK buyers protection fee that means sellers now have to offer things at a lower price and they would've #ebay #ebayisajoke #ebaysimpledelivery

  • jaybirdie1 The Pale King (Jason Grieve) (@jaybirdie1) reported

    Need's a UK seller or maybe @AtariAge can set something up, but they are down on eBay the now, so not sure what's going on there, it would be nice to get some of these homebrew games in the UK.

  • MnM_18 Matthew Grubb (@MnM_18) reported

    What is going on with @ebay today? So much trouble listing items.

  • richmoycards Rich Moy (@richmoycards) reported

    @t17white @eBay @CardPurchaser Yeah I got a response from someone who legit didn’t know it wasn’t an autopay, apologized, and paid immediately. Think this is an eBay comms issue more than anything else

  • BigOnAnime BigOnAnime (Also on BSky) (@BigOnAnime) reported

    @shiroihane I'm having the same issue with Gurren Lagann. It's impossible to find the EANs for the UK singles on eBay because nobody has the info sheets. Finding the correct Amazon listings for those will also be quite hard because that too was a multi-region release.

  • OmegaRangerRed Brandon (@OmegaRangerRed) reported

    @Ranger_Liz That was one of the good/bad parts of this auction. So many lots could have been broken up. The lot I won was for a single morpher in it. I'm gonna keep a few, but sell off most. I'm hoping to find a mid-range price, not eBay prices, but I know I'll still make a profit probably.

  • whiskey_wisdomx BUD-WISER (@whiskey_wisdomx) reported

    @RjeyTech Exactly,an ugly crease, that gets uglier with time, you end up using the laptop anyway, a form factor which is confusing and has no clear purpose and vision and you end up on ebay 5 months down the line trying to get a good amount out of this but no one takes it bcz android

  • countrydarts Mike (@countrydarts) reported

    Some people should not be allowed to sell on eBay. I received a card that not only arrived creased, but also trimmed - it was smaller by a good couple of millimeters both length and width. I notified the seller of the issues (did NOT accuse him that he did it, just pointed out the damage and even said "at some point in this card's life"), and now he's pissed at ME accusing me of trying to get a free card.

  • vahanplus vahan (@vahanplus) reported

    99% of my chats with @Shopify’s Marketplace Connect support are a complete disaster. Just now, simple questions about random eBay listings at 2am got me ignored, stonewalled, no supervisor, no real help — then abruptly disconnected. Constant runaround with zero accountability. This is beyond unacceptable. Fix your support. #ShopifyFail

  • EpicLayne115 epic (@EpicLayne115) reported

    @moricalliope Wait if you just had the girls sign a bunch of cards for you, you could put them up on eBay for a quick buck!! Infinite money glitch!!

  • mantatrades Manta Trading (@mantatrades) reported

    @_Mav_is_ Can't edit my tweets but I'm saying the public at large, hard to go back to fix it but yeah that's what I meant people would be buying packs off eBay and considering them.

  • tradrmum Get the Hegel outta here (@tradrmum) reported

    @biologycounts They don’t care. There’s no way of getting them shut down. They’re making millions ripping people off inc whoever is working their sweatshops. At least through eBay you might have some recourse?

  • thefranypants Fran (@thefranypants) reported

    @eBay what does it take to get through to someone who can actually resolve an issue? Must have spoken to 6 different advisors in the past 7 weeks and still can’t get a refund for an order that wasnt even dispatched

  • NettersNetwork Netter's Network (@NettersNetwork) reported

    @Rainmaker1973 Investing in a bunch of companies that are making a mint today like Ebay, Yahoo, Apple, Microsoft, and Google. And sit down with my mom to have her record all the stories she used to tell us growing up so they are preserved.

  • snakey125 Timothy L (@snakey125) reported

    @SnazzyLabs Send a copy of your eBay receipt to their support. There was another guy on here with the same issue. That’s how he got it taken care of. I ******* hate they are doing this.

  • bobateaa_3 Braden👍🇵🇸 (@bobateaa_3) reported

    @Assassins_M I’ve donated money to Palestinian organizations multiple times through both standard donations and giving money from eBay listings to them it’s an important issue to me that I take seriously

  • bjrn0 Ilya (@bjrn0) reported

    1. Hardware ownership GPU servers cost like $600+ per month each. I've been running with a single server (4x GPUs) for months. My monthly costs went from potentially thousands to basically electricity bills (upfront investment sure, but used tech on eBay is dirt cheap nowadays).

  • gamerguy51 MattyMcFly⚡ (@gamerguy51) reported

    @SnazzyLabs First problem is buying a game from a random on eBay.

  • aceofcards89 Joe A (@aceofcards89) reported

    I have hundreds of sub $5 listings on eBay. I'm tempted to take them down because it is annoying to randomly get a $3 sale and have to ship it. But I've also spent all the time to list them and take pictures...not sure what I want to do.

  • Drachs1978 David Hinkle (@Drachs1978) reported

    @urgent_studio @SnazzyLabs It's almost certainly a strategy by the pirates to make it unacceptable. If they dump and resell enough carts on ebay they can make enough problems for Nintendo to make them rethink this strategy.

  • yabokusmargiela 🔻 (@yabokusmargiela) reported

    somebody needs to brave it and order the service of ebay witch bro we need to fix our bad karma 🤬

  • Amy735398018047 Amy (@Amy735398018047) reported

    Those mfers. You know I tried to buy a smart meter cover off eBay and was immediately and permanently suspended? Prior to this I’d used eBay twice in the past 25 years. Once in 2003 for crayons. Once in 2022 for an amplifier. No issues no fuss no muss. But apparently I violated terms of “safe use”. Wtaf is the world coming to?

  • GrosshansKevin Kevin⚾️🏀⚽️🎞🎸📗 (@GrosshansKevin) reported

    @Keith16King I’ve never had an issue with them on EBay. You’ll receive your card much quicker if buying through EBay than directly through COMC. Directly is better, though, if buying a bunch.
