-
Justin The Guy (@wessonlsu) reported@PacoDePerro @eBay Yeah. My son got scammed by a seller and @ebay solved the issue by suspending my sons account without a refund.
-
Evan (@evan12286) reportedDRS’d shareholders of $GME owned about 25% of the company in 2022. They now own about 11% of diluted shares outstanding. If the eBay acquisition goes through, that is likely down to 3-4%. @ryancohen is stealing the company from the working class American owners that saved it.

DudeInLVKS (@PacoDePerro) reported@ebay Hi! I need assistance with a return for an Authenticity Guarantee item that your Automated Assistant refuses to escalate to someone live. The issue is I purchased 2-cards that failed the "authentication" process due to a miscategorized item. Now i can't get ebay to help

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedThanks for all the info Liz. $15-20B of the total $80B GMV is absolutely massive. I’m not recommending any major changes or updates that would turn off existing users, but rather slight modernization to boost overall traffic (I mentioned SEO, as a car guy, whenever I search for cars and parts which is quite often lol, I never see eBay links). And also perhaps future new features, like being able to get financing right on the website through an API with a lender partner, etc. That’s funny they tried innovating through acquisition like typical corporate shills and like the rest of their acquisitions, which seems to be the only approach they know for any stagnation or problems. We really need a hardcore operator in there that thinks out of the box and is willing to look at things without spending the most shareholder capital for the least return. eBay needs to stop acting like a venture capital firm, it’s disgusting the amounts they have paid and continue to pay (Depop) for these acquisitions.

Felix Mitošinka (@FelixMitosinka) reportedThere are many things currently going on with Ryan Cohen and Activist friends, including much discussion and consternation surrounding eBay, GME and BBBYQ. I thought I’d share some thoughts: Personally, I’m not concerned at all about us not acquiring eBay, nor worried about the warrants expiring worthless. GME warrants are a very specific financial instrument and extremely unorthodox and unique. No company that trades has really done anything similar according to AI and yet here we have GME, BBBY and OPEN doing almost the same precise thing with the warrants and mimicking one another at nearly the same precise time and methodology. Ryan made some bombastic statements back in early February, I believe, regarding markets and “something that’s never been done before” and effectuating Capital Markets, followed with the Charles Payne head fake and pulling out of the interview based on legal counsel’s advice.” So either Ryan is completely insane or this is a massive plan with pinpoint laser planning, designed not only to benefit Ryan loyalists, but in the grander scheme of things, takedown Wall Street and shake financial markets to their core. Based on Ryan’s track record of success, his reluctance to normally reveal anything and now going on a publicity tour excoriating eBay and their Board only adds to my confidence. Couple that with other factors like X money timing, Elon’s butterfly posts and the White House and other signal accounts constantly edging us, I really have no doubt that things will become clear shortly and break in our favor quite rapidly. Ryan didn’t go to all this trouble, write a series of children’s books and throw away many years of his life only to come up short. Ryan is a critical cog and the frontman in this massive play to usher in not only a vision of a delivering fairness and integrity to shareholders, but a total revamp of financial markets and accountability.

Salvatore Linteum (@PhantomBlack699) reportedI'm extremely excited to see the detailed $GME x $EBAY presentation, whenever it is ready I'm positive it will fix the "credibility" gap the eBay board cited as a reason for rejection of the acquisition proposal I'm also certain this time there will be a stronger financial backing commitment. I also believe this presentation will serve as a strong sales pitch to current eBay shareholders, who Ryan will be targeting with the presentation to solicit support in his leadership over eBay. I expect detailed insights into the collectibles market, crypto treasury reserve value and potential use-case, and expanded insights into the plan to utilize GameStop stores for authentication and efficient grading services There should also be a summary of Ryan's achievements from Chewy to GameStop and his shareholder alignment, with zero salary and staking his own capital as evidence. The question is how the mainstream media will try and spin the presentation as negative and not-serious 🤔

E A (@EaNotSport1) reported@ThePPseedsShow I don’t think Black Rock will turn down $125/ share. RC is high key saving all these institutional holders because they’ll loose big betting against BOBBYQ. They need RC to buy eBay.

Custom Concept MFG (@MfgCustom) reported@ALTPEPEEEEEEE @LaPinaFan My very first break off eBay I got in on a 1/2 case of 22 gold standard football. Took the lions and pulled a 1/1 opulence rookie of hutch. No bull. Like beginners luck, it was a deep dive down devils lane quickly, I was like well that was easy I con do it again……

Greg Koenig (@gak_pdx) reportedAs a former Leatherman guy, I am very sad to see this whole Garage thing. The whole notion of "limited run" is an anathema to the actual concept of tools. A tool is an item to be used. It exists because it does a job, and if you are actually doing that job and relying on a tool, having it be some precious totschki that you cannot replace is a form of torture. Some tools are precious by their nature. The job they do requires certain materials, certain features that are hard to manufacturer, levels of precision that require great care, etc. Combined with the fact that these are often low-demand specialty items, they are treated with great care. My metrology standards are like this; a square piece of granite held to under 1µm of error across all dimensions is an expensive and delicate instrument that is painful to replace! I don't whip it out to check every part, and it lives in a custom foam Pelican case it gets removed from only 5-6 times a year. It is an intrinsically valuable and precious object. The Garage schtick, and all the various "special edition" tools/knives/edc gear is synthetic preciousness. By hyping up sprint runs, tool makers juice the numbers and churn a quick extra buck either directly or through the power of a little marketing hype. But every time they do this, they remove the seriousness from their work! They lose focus on quality, or effective design/engineering for the mission, they damage the essence of the core transition between the customer and the maker; that the maker is here to build things to make your life quantifiably better through solving problems you have. When I was at Leatherman many years ago, I had a meeting with the product design team. Sort of at the end as we were BS-ing around, I got very serious for a minute and said "I know everything is getting re-thought, but for the love of the gods... keep the Crunch and if you touch it, be super careful about actually making it better." We talked about the Crunch for about 20 minutes. On Leatherman's own factory floor, I would say the majority of workers carried a Crunch. Alas, under 10 years later... The Crunch is gone. It went out in a blaze of Garage glory; one "final" run of old-stock, retooled with different finishes and moved out the door at 2x the price. Standard Crunches are on eBay for $350 in mint condition. The Garage "Captain Crunch" is trading at $700. That means I can no longer use my Crunch. I'm not carrying around a $500 tool in my pocket and actually using it as intended. By playing dumb demand *** *** games, Leatherman has effectively made every Crunch in existence a precious commodity well under the natural market demand - if they just went out of production because nobody was buying them, they would be $50 to find a used replacement and I could carry on Crunching things without having to treat the one I own as a precious commodity to be fretted over and worried about. This is the essence of tool makers going from a focus on improving the lives of everyday users into these bullshit "lifestyle" brands, and I find it very sad that we are losing things we won't understand the value of until they are gone and sold on eBay for 10x the price. Many such cases.

Mancgas (@mancgas) reported@SteveMowat4 @timothy1883_ Problem is when they say welfare as a big number include state pensions&all benefits paid above SRA due to state pensions being one of lowest in Europe. Taxing Amazon Costa and eBay etc for real profits made in UK would raise far more than fiddling on margins of rest of benefits

Polsia (@polsia) reportedDTC brands past year three bleed margin on stockouts, rushed reorders, and channels they can't see end-to-end. Built Margenova to fix it. Watches every SKU across Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Woo, Walmart, drafts supplier POs, emails a daily margin brief. Full version coming.

(NoColor-Check) Jay Ashworth (@_Baylink) reportedHey, @firefox, @ebay? Arrange a meeting. Pages take tens of seconds to render, and images tens of seconds to load, on your site, with *your* browser. Same machine, Chrome: same URL renders faster than I can measure it. Long time problem, just finally pissed enough to report.

TrailTechPCs (@TrailTechPCs) reported@eBay just so you know it’s 2026. It shouldn’t take 30 days to verify a debit card. You’re holding my damn payout from a a sale for a month because of bank card change. Absolutely ridiculous. You’ve had no problem taking money from the same card over and over again on purchases I’ve made. Pricks!

🪞 caster (@noisefloorrrrr) reportedthe chaos terminator heads are so terrible and not so IW i may actually need to fold and get some head bits on ebay

Footy Headlines (@Footy_Headlines) reported𝑭𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒗𝒔 𝑶𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝑪𝒖𝒑 𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒔 The official FIFA World Cup 2026 sleeve badges, produced exclusively by Avery Dennison, are heavily restricted and only made available for national federations and Adidas. Because these authentic patches are not available to buy separately on the open market, and Adidas has recently experienced severe stock shortages ahead of the tournament, the secondary market has become the default destination for kit enthusiasts. Consequently, counterfeit patches sold on platforms like eBay are currently the only option for many fans looking to customize their bare jerseys, flooding the market with unauthorized replicas. Huge thanks to DimMyEyess for these great vs images. With no official options available for many, the fakes are a convenient alternative, but they come with several noticeable little errors that separate them from the official product. Most prominently, the fake World Cup badges are bigger than the official ones.

Haylen (@haylen630) reported@Tank_Observer @Boss351Pilot As someone who has a fleet of old cars, there’s a reason I went to the dealership to buy a new car. There’s only so many times a man has to fix a blown up gizmo in the driving rain at 3am cussing with work the next day before he gives up. Doesn’t matter how realiable a car was when it was new, when it’s 35 years old with 300k miles, **** breaks, and it’s often so many little things it would take 60 hours of work and 3k$ worth of parts to bring back to full function, half of those parts being second hand on eBay that will fail in 6 months anyway. It’s possible to live the shitbox life, many do, but they usually have like 4 of them, and they didn’t buy the other 3 because the first one works all the time.

Anus McFloptrap (@y_onthehill) reported@lanascarface Online shopping sites and second hand platforms, getting dolls from ebay would probably cause other problems than money tho

Renaissance Man (@Renaissance_Man) reported@MrPotatoHead_SJ That's terrible. Where was this found? eBay? Please drop the link here.

Alex Hawkins (@GainingGround33) reported@AhorroYAprendo When GameStop buys Ebay this problem will be solved!
-
Cade (@FirmlyGraaspIt) reported@TrophyChaseTCG The people who are paying those resale prices on FBM and eBay are also the problem. If people stopped paying these outrageous prices then scalpers wouldn’t have a reason to do what they do anymore. Which is why I REFUSE to pay anything above MSRP.

La Flama Blanca (@mikeycollectz) reported@GoBirds32 @CardPurchaser Fee's are the standard 13% on eBay. And there is a huge market for the ESE program. Anything $20 and under goes ESE at 1 oz, if properly packaged they don't have an issue in the sorter. Just upped my ground advantage to $7 because of shipping price increases. Just takes time.
-
Jared Bray (@tresamigos858) reported@CardsMax Especially when the alternative selling on eBay is 83-87% on the high side. Or risk total sales price on a consignment. Or grind for days finding views to get someone to buy the card. I have no problem paying someone for the relationships they’ve developed that I haven’t

JOSEPH MICHAELS (THE ADVENTUROUS JOE) (@KINGATLAS1977) reported@ToddManyNumbers @BlueNinjaXX @preterniadotcom the figure was originally a gold label exclusive to wal-mart stores only. it was a great seller for the retail store cause it had never been released or made before. it now sells on ebay for just about close to $60.00 and under now. the original issue with it, wrong color,ect.

Teddy.com (@teddy__com) reportedWhen @EdLudlow interviewed @ryancohen, he asked him about the Teddy redirect. RC quickly quipped back, “I am focused on GameStop.” Are you? You seem to be focused on eBay actually. You have never done this much talking until you made an offer to buy your darling stock with the slush fund you created off the backs of retail. You also are fully aware that your retail base pays attention to every single move you make. So why the coy little cryptic games? Your loyal followers are down billions on your games. The Tetris profile pic, the meme lore in the Power Packs launch, the ice cream, the 741 references… You have cost retail an incredible amount of money for every day $GME investors. Then you subtly mention that you are putting together a package imminently for the eBay deal on the All In show. “It might be out before this airs.” Lol. It’s been a month. You are ******* with the options markets. Every single time you talk, the stock goes down. Is it on purpose? $BBBYQ holders will never forget your little rug pull. We invested in the stock because we believe in you as a leader. Stop talking.
