Pimpdaddysatan (@_Pimpdaddysatan) reported@ReelJustinLewis I had one, listed it on eBay and right before it got pulled down for being against standards some dude messaged and offered $600 for the dagger and sheath. I should have kept it, but at the time years back, I needed the money.. 👍

Squid (@sydkg02) reported@eBay Well to be honest, none of the options on the page deal with this issue

Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. (@MillerJosh_) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay As someone new to the hobby, I'm curious: why is this ebay's issue and not the seller? Was this authenticity guaranteed?

David Peck (@dpeck100) reported@cardofdreams I bought this from eBay years ago. 36 card display case that says UV protected. Have six full. Used to have on the wall but took down for safety reasons. They sit on the floor against a wall and nice to be able to access whenever.

John Anderson (@JohnnyboySP) reported@enigma0451 It still had plenty of problems don't get me wrong. But once the internet made access to things like Ebay, other retailers, and import retailers available it wasn't even a competition.

nia (@drunkendagger) reported@herpesncupcakes your first issue is eBay 😭😭😭
-
Leo (@Leo_R_UK) reported@Samaytwt Look you can buy a decent second hand i5 i7 server put Linux on it with 32gb or more for less than £200 all you need to do is terminal into that to code from and you can do that from a 2012 MacBook Air for £60 from eBay. Coding it 2026 shouldn’t be expensive!

! ; doffy (@irlsanjivinsmok) reported@Aceenxl I know but I was too lazy to check american ebay ngl but I bet using **** like mercari you can bulk buy frankys and cut down shipping but i’ll have a look real quick
-
Zen of Ben (@InalienableZen) reported@3vcollects @CardPurchaser $2 is like the base price of any single card when bought on eBay. Even 10-cent commons are $2. People need to understand this and stop trying to mark them down further, because eventually you won’t find cheap singles if people are losing money. They’ll stop listing.

Cydonia (@CydoniaNBA) reported@CheckOutMyCards @eBay Fix the app in Europe or what?

Jonathan Arsenault (@Jonharson) reported@d4nggibson @vxunderground The best thing about Dell hardware is getting it second hand cheaply from people going out of buisness because they were crazy enoug to shell for new Dell hardware, or big enough to not give a ****. Wdym it's a $250k server? It was $5k on ebay with 2 months of use on it.

Hitch (@Hitchxyz) reportedThe physical trading card market has a massive friction problem. If you pull a rare card, you have to send it to PSA, wait two months for grading, list it on eBay, pay a 13% fee, and hope the buyer doesn't chargeback. The liquidity is terrible. Digital collectibles solve the liquidity problem instantly, but historically they failed to capture the emotional weight of physical cards. We are building the bridge between the two. The liquidity of crypto with the tactile psychology of physical collecting.
-
Hoss (@NamesJohnnyUtah) reported@premiercards_2 @eBay Have them call you thru eBay automated assistant chat. Say “call me” in the chat. Take pictures, show them the damages and they will give you $$ back. This is absolutely a known issue and they are doing nothing to fix it.

Omg_tweets! (@titteridiot1) reported@jonbrooks Need an ebay site and an AI lawyer to check the paperwork and handle transfers. so.. yes. But not until the realtor cartel can be broken. We need a tesla-like situation where the product just puts realtor (car dealers) to shame.

radioJim (@radioJimLIVE) reported@mediablasters1 Any insight on what's going on with the Gunsmith Cats license? Animeigo/MediaOCD had it for a bit, but it's weird that the Blu-Ray is out of print now going for $700 on eBay, while Riding Bean got a budget reprint without issue. 🤔

𝙅𝙒 (@ArvinJA21) reported@RepDaleStrong On March 12, 2026, Amazon instituted a policy to illegitimately take monies from 3rd Party Sellers, who constitute 60% of sales on Amazon according to Amazon, in order to improve its own cash flow. This policy is an example of the anti-competitive practices Amazon has used to enrich itself and undermine all competitors over many years. For about 20 years Amazon paid Sellers as follows: 1) a Customer selected a Seller’s item for purchase; 2) the Seller fulfilled the order, shipping the item to the Customer; 3) the Customer paid the item price plus any shipping charge applied by the Seller; 4) the Seller paid the actual shipping cost; 5) Amazon took its standard fees for every transaction; and 6) Amazon regularly paid the Seller the difference between its own fees and the Seller’s item price and shipping charge. The Seller and Amazon both benefitted greatly from this system. As of 3/12/2026, Amazon switched to what it called “DD+7”, which stands for Delivery Date plus 7 days. Amazon still takes it fees immediately when a Seller fulfills an order. Amazon pays the Seller nothing until 7 days after the item is delivered to the Customer, which depends upon the speed and accuracy of the USPS, UPS, or other delivery service. Sellers therefore, are paid approximately 14 days after spending to ship the item, rather than at the time of shipping. Amazon utilizes the full amount paid by the Customer as it wishes until Delivery Date plus 7 days, which amounts to millions of dollars every day that payment to the Seller is delayed. According to Amazon, “Moving your reserve setting to DD+7 provides time for you to accrue fees and other costs before disbursement and gives your customers time to receive, open, and evaluate their order.” This rationalization would be laughable if it weren’t so extremely and prejudicially false. Every purchase on Amazon can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. DD+7 does not add any additional time for the Customer to “…receive, open, and evaluate their order.” As a Seller, also, I have no idea what “…fees and other costs before disbursement…” I could accrue; gaslighting is the only thing stated in this sentence. There are millions of 3rd Party Sellers on Amazon, and almost all of them are small businesses. Amazon has spent decades making its Seller system appear to be the most efficient and effective, undercutting all other major 3rd Party Seller systems, such as ebay. The system before DD+7 was extremely profitable to Amazon. Now Amazon is requiring a pay-off which harms its own 3rd Party Sellers, to the benefit only of Amazon’s enormous bottom line. Please contact Amazon about this penurious attack upon its Sellers. We depend upon Congress to defend the small businesses that are sources of enormous value throughout our country. Please also address the issues raised here in the appropriate Congressional committees. Public hearings will not show Amazon in a good light. Thank you,

Squid (@sydkg02) reported@eBay Please look into this user. I have sent in a report but since this user has been known to talk to underage people online, this is kind of an issue that needs to be dealt with asap

Chinmay (@askcp) reported@ananyashaswat @SamsungIndia My first order on Amazon was on 19th October 2013 and I was always always always one who recommended ordering online. I think I have been ordering since 2006/2007 timeframe from eBay and couple of other Indian sites too. 20 years fast forward I have almost stopped ordering online. 1. Amazon - Reduced Purchases to almost nill due to quality issues and return/refund cycles. They also added extensive delay even in prime deliveries and stupid platform fees. 2. Amazon Business - Steady purchases but very cautious as low quality and damaged products are delivered sometimes. 3. Myntra - Stopped due to low quality and anti-customer practices 4. AJIO - Constant Scams, Low Quality Products, Returning Stuff is extremely difficult even if it's their fault and super idiotic customer service. 5. Swiggy - Fraud and Idiotic Customer Service, Replaced by Zomato 6. Big Basket - Replaced by Blinkit So.. Pricing cannot be the only factor, there is convenience, there is delivery timeframe and a lot more. Of late, I am splitting my purchases between online and offline, focus is more on best service and experience. PS: I live in tier 2 or probably tier 3 town in Gujarat, so finding non-Chindi offline vendor is a difficult task but then sometimes I order from out of state vendors and survive.

schrader (@tonyaces) reportedThe amount of photos/post of cards being damaged leaving eBay authentication process is pretty wild. It feels like one of the bigger issues you see right now. Very expensive cards being destroyed. My understanding is seller loses the money and gets a damaged card returned.

Kate (@youngkav11) reported@ebay your callback is not working. My husband utilized call back and no one is calling back. What the hell is going on??

DogeSeeds🇨🇦🇺🇸 (@DogeSeeds) reported@for_options @JimMcMurtry01 I've found the Amazon ones to be of higher quality than Ebay. I have a collection of 12, so when my friends want to go get drunk in a park we wear them. If the police trouble us we just scream Gladue Law! Great investment. Haven't worked for free dental/prescriptions though..yet

Charlie (@Chalutzie) reported@dogspawnn @f4micom It’s not just about ads. Older kindles don’t support Amazons new ebook format with DRM. This means anyone who spends $2 like me on a ****** broken eBay kindle can download any book from Amazon, move it to their computer, and then “return” it, keeping the copy on their computer
