Mindy meeks (@Mindymeeksufpf) reported@TheLastRonin714 Same. Just for dead space on eBay, they are having a sale on digital, but I have no problem paying more if it means Sony won’t get anything from it. **** them.
-
DudeInLVKS (@PacoDePerro) reported@kh_card @BenMBurrows @nsccshow I had an authentication fail due to a seller listing error and instead of returning the card to the seller and refunding me, they sent the non-authenticated item to me. And I couldn't get ahold of anyone at eBay to correct it. So I'm stuck. I feel your pain.
-
Sunday White Rabbit (@SundayWhiteRab2) reported@I_Dare_Question @ArchitectOracle Well I wasn't talking it was wrong about the conspiracy theory stuff, I meant its just generally wrong about a lot of stuff. For instance I asked if I could list an item on ebay. It said yes I could. I listed it, it got an immediate VERO & was taken down. I could NOT sell it.

GPT-Pain (@GPTpain) reportedAlas, the actuator assembly is not the issue, so I burned $110 on an A/B test. Arrogant POS who just had to buy the part on eBay before doing a fuller investigation. I've at least confirmed that it's getting power and responds to/communicates with the door release and the instrument cluster. Of course, my multimeter is not at home right now. Womp womp. Wiring seems fine and harness in frame is secure on eye test. My friend TechGPT and I have determined it's probably just damaged wiring in the accordion boot between door and roof. Could be a BCM glitch, but it can't be failing as all the other door locks are functional and responsive. Out of time today. Try again later with multimeter in tow. I know there are people dying right now in the world, but this is very important that I come out ahead on this versus dealer repair cost. Thank you for attending my TED car talk.

Sigiligus (@sigiligis) reported@redaction “That sounds terrible, why would eBay do something like this?” >Steiner “They deserved it.”

Steve Perry (@stevemarkperry) reportedTried listing an item on eBay 3 times just now. It failed every time. How can such an important part of a major app be so broken? Can we please bad this AI slop now. I’m tired. Earlier, I tried clicking a “more” link to expand text on an Instagram post. That didn’t work either. This is not progress.
-
Gonz (@GonzoBeyondo) reported@Jarhead3534 @WeedVet I quit selling on eBay around 2018 or so. Once shipping rates really started increasing. Between eBay fees, PayPal fees, and shipping costs, their overall cut eats well past any potential profit margin. And then there's the problem ppl, and eBay always sides with the buyer.
-
Rafi (@Rafi_Feld) reported@samanthaaouyang I have the same issue, you can get one for mad cheap on eBay
-
⚔️ World of Weirth ⚔️ (@WorldofWeirth) reported@jeremyhartillos I don't know anything about dtrpg, but I do know that people are on vacation in June/July, so that cuts down on a lot of extraneous spending. That being said, I bartend in a resort town, revenue-maxxing in the summertime. I bought a whole bunch of minis on eBay this month.
-
OmegaDad (@TheRealOmegaDad) reported@itswooch I would be down for it, eBay could use a shake up
-
Brady Farkas (@RefuseToLosePod) reported@thevaguequeen I've gone back and forth three times with the same seller on the "buy it now" function on Ebay, neither one of us is backing down. That bundle of two is still out there to be had, just have to find a middle ground.
-
northergirl (@northerngirl_an) reported@RealVeryMary You really don’t need to buy the insurance, anytime my husband purchases something that arrives broken or defective Ebay reimburses him if the seller doesn’t do good on it. You just have to open a case. Usually the seller will do right
-
Tech Sales Guy (@TechSalesGuy) reported@BowTied_Golfer wearing a cotton shirt that is guaranteed to send you down an eBay rabbit hole later
-
Used Rugs 🀄 (@used__rugs) reported@FoxPanic @GrapheneOS from where? facebook marketplace? kyc. eBay? kyc. A **** shop in cash, cameras. Unless I pay a bum down the corner to go buy it. You catch the drift?
-
Dakota Treasure Hunter (@DakTreasure) reported@eBay @RobGronkowski Stop trying to shove ebay live down our throats. I don't want anything to do with it and you should give us the option to remove it and stop seeing it everywhere. Also stop sending me dozens of messages about it too.
-
Lil Jaunty (@JauntyBarks) reported@808_goose Settle down lol people buy them for 50 then sell them on eBay for 100. Common sense, retard
-
yelziveta (@lettercunt) reported@emilkyun I’ve always assumed it’s import fees or something but I’ve gotten cheap aesop merch from china through eBay… so it’s probably a reseller issue. Scalpers gonna scalp
-
Kyle G. (@Big_Blue42_) reported@SideEyeKay @JonFromMaspeth Yeah card ladder. Problem with eBay comps is it doesn’t always show the exact “sold” price when the listing is best offer. They need to fix that.
-
FixTechStuff 🛠️ (@FixTechStuff1) reportedFirst one is an exact copy of the original, except the support is stuck on because my printers fan wire is broken. 2nd one is actually supposed to be a different part. Next step, make them fit perfectly, and with aluminium sleeves stainless bolt and locknut and sell them on eBay
-
David Kopp (@Koppernicus) reported@serpentza, I usually have no problems shopping online. But sometimes… “Make me irritate at the mere mention of eBay” (I’m sorry. I’ll go stand in the corner.)

amir(❖,❖) inkog.base.eth🟣🟢 (@amirhp771) reportedIn 2022, I convinced myself that buying a heavy vintage CRT monitor from eBay would give my artwork a truly authentic retro feel. I spent three weeks bidding, paid four times the item price just for international shipping, and tracked the cargo ship across the ocean every single morning. When the massive forty kilogram wooden crate finally arrived, my friend @Hosseinp77 and I set it up on my desk with pure excitement. I flipped the power switch, the screen flickered bright green for one second, made a loud pop sound, and instantly blew out the circuit breaker in my entire apartment. Writing this downbad confession for @RallyOnChain reminds me how far down the rabbit hole we go when we mistake extreme cope for creative commitment. What is your most downbad story from crypto, tech, or life that you are still embarrassed to admit today?

Geri Perna (@GeriPerna) reportedI am self-employed and have 2 businesses. One is an Ebay business where I buy and sell collectibles. The price of gas has impacted shipping costs SO BADLY, that my Ebay business has been TERRIBLE. This morning gas was $3.89 a gallon....I AM SO SICK OF THIS! Did I complain when Biden was in office? You bet I did....I just didn't expect to be complaining NOW!
-
Polsia (@polsia) reportedThree browser tabs. Two repricers. One reseller still wondering which SKU actually made money. Built Vendrune to fix that. It watches Amazon, eBay and Poshmark 24/7 — reprices, counters lowballs, files weekly P&L by SKU. Three marketplaces. One P&L. Zero babysitting. Live soon.

Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) reportedeBay's CEO shared an article a newsletter writer published about his pay. His comms chief replied "We are going to crush this lady." A month later the CEO texted "Take her down." Then eBay's security team mailed her live cockroaches, a preserved fetal pig, and a book about surviving the death of a spouse. Ina and David Steiner ran EcommerceBytes from their home in Natick, Massachusetts. A small trade publication for online sellers. What enraged executives was the comment section, where sellers vented about the company. The campaign went far beyond packages. eBay employees sent pornographic magazines in David's name to his neighbors. They listed the couple's home on Craigslist as a nightly destination for swingers. They flew to Boston, tailed the Steiners in rented vehicles, and planned to break into their garage to plant a GPS tracker on their car. The Steiners began sleeping in separate bedrooms so that if someone broke in at night, one of them could escape and call police. A Natick detective traced one rental van back to an eBay employee. That single trace unraveled the whole operation. Seven employees pled guilty to federal charges. James Baugh, the security director who ran it, got nearly five years in prison. Now read the final ledger. Baugh, who executed the texts, went to federal prison. Devin Wenig, who sent "take her down," was never charged, denies knowing about the campaign, and left eBay in 2019 with a $57 million exit package. This week he settled for $2 million plus a $1 million donation to a First Amendment charity in Ina Steiner's name. Steve Wymer, the comms chief who texted "I want to see ashes. As long as it takes. Whatever it takes," is paying $50,000. The Steiners fought for seven years and got $48.7 million. The CEO's severance was bigger than their settlement.

Mary (@RealVeryMary) reportedI bought one on eBay with the optional cutting board that goes on top. Problem solved. It will fit a 9x13 pan.

heycrypto (@heyyyyycrypto) reportedThe pricing errors on Phygitals marketplace has almost costed me thousands of dollars countless times. Take Van Gogh Pikachu PSA 10 for example > See people asking for a $3k loan against it > Take a look at pricing history and it shows $5k > Thinks it's way to good to be true > Takes a look at Ebay and last sales are barely touching $3k > Closes Phygitals and goes back to the offerbooks

ImoutoImperium (@shionrespecter) reported@Good_Yeoman What if it's the biggest CRT that Panasonic ever made and you want someone else to get it down a flight of stairs? (That was the last thing my dad ever bought off eBay)
-
Fukuoka Slabs | 福岡ポケ (@FukuokaPokemart) reported@Hellaorganics Don't have that problem here in Japan but yea that's a big part of why I try to avoid selling on eBay which is mostly U.S. buyers. And worse than issues like that, just so many blatant scammers who lie about what they received, try to ship back a different worthless card, etc

Winstoncup Wolf (@Winstoncupwolf) reportedSo since you don’t seem to understand the beef here @LsTdiecast I’ll lay it out. You killed Kstate, and by being a hypocrite which makes it considerably worse. You can deny it but the screenshots don’t lie. The timing doesn’t lie. You narc’d on them for “scalping” when they were selling for UNDER recently sold eBay prices, and in fact we’re refunding people who WERENT scalping. So they were doing more to combat scalping than your whining like a ***** on here does. But even if they WERENT, it’s ok for you and your “buddy” to justify prices by “recently sold” on eBay. While you criticize and encourage people to harass anybody else selling at a price YOU don’t agree with even if it’s in line with recently sold. That’s hypocrisy. Literally hypocrisy to a T. It’s ok for you and your buddies to sell off recently sold prices but nobody else? And on that same note, you telling people on here to harass eBay sellers is out of line and chickenshit. You try to bully people into selling THEIR stuff for the price YOU wanna pay. That’s not how it works. You don’t get to dictate what somebody sells THEIR item for by trying to force them. Even worse when you do it in the faggoty way of trying to have others do it because you’re a *****. You sure as hell are whining and crying like a **** now with me coming at you..you don’t like it huh? What about all those eBay users you’ve campaigned to harass? No fun when it comes back huh, *******? Thirdly, you always come on here telling everybody to preorder so stuff hits MOQ….then why didn’t YOU preorder? More hypocrisy. Telling people to do **** YOU won’t even do. You’re just mad people are t giving you **** for free. Don’t forget about when you tried to get me to give you **** for free. You’re just not willing to pay. If somebody else is willing to pay more, they get it. That’s how free markets work. Just because you’re a spoiled little ***** doesn’t mean the world owes you anything. You want it, ante up or shut ******** up. The guy who’s willing to pay more obviously wants it more than you then. Your problem Is you THINK you’re some BSD that can bully people into giving you **** for what you want it for but the way you’ve been crying from the light pushback I’ve given you, you’re clearly a giant *****. Cry more about “being uncomfortable”, ******, when you’ve harassed multiple others.
