    when i worked at the flea market, my boss got a big box of porn and i took a playboy with kurt cobain in it and laid it out on my night table. at some point i spilled water on it and my mom threw it away. i was thinking about buying the issue on ebay, but it’s from 2001.

    I have been selling stuff on @eBay randomly for the last 15+ years. Never had any problems until recently. Sold a bunch of shoes on @ebaysneakers which have all been authenticated and sent to the buys, but my money is frozen in my account. Won’t be using them anymore.

    @nicolajharvey Chickenwire is pretty indestructible. I buy metal pins on ebay really cheaply to pin it down.

    Me: I need $20,000 more down to buy a home. Also me: there are a ton of cool footballs on eBay that you need!

    @eBay : locks my account Me: Calls eBay customer service as instructed @eBay : we can't see any issues on our end. Your account shouldn't be locked. Me: So how do I get back in? @eBay : We've tried everything we can do. Me: So why is my account still locked?

    @leslievillepick Given up trying to buy from Japanese eBay, the descriptions are meaningless and photos often manage to obscure real problems with lenses.

    @acrwrs @fomoboy3 @NeuralBricolage When you first released Tools it sent me down an internet wormhole- I came pretty close to buying a handaxe of questionable provenance on eBay haha. I love your handaxe emoji- you might consider minting a series of proposed and denied emoji…

    @whitespyre Yeah i got a cheapy off ebay for like £25-30 it still works out much cheaper than buying resin bases! .. if not you can do it with a rolling pin no problem.

    @bertocq @oinak I always bought them on ebay/amazon for a fraction of the originals. I don't know if I found a glitch in the system xD

    @nicantlaca1313 @hardwick_chuck He has to throw short because no one can get open down Field, then he's forced to throw in tight windows etc with all this distraction it was bound to bite them in the *** time to bounce back fresh and ebay the Cheifs.

    @AskeBay, Ebay, I have asking your customer services team for months to stop charging buyers of my items VAT, as it’s not applicable to Jersey sellers, but you never solve the issue. Why?

    Want to know my biggest sneaker related regret? Not investing in @eBay stock back in 2016 when I started going heavy hunting down pairs on there. 😒😒😒😒 It was $28/share then. Now it's $75. I need a minute.

    @DroseAttack I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be mad if you made it for yourself only If you sold it though I don't think there would be any issue there ether unless you sold it on redbubble amazon ebay or other major shops but like at cons or smt is fine

    Another issue with crypto atm as well is the fact that unlike other currencies, it's unstable; you're basically have an ETH's value depend on an unstable, unpredictable trade stock. A better way to auction your art is to put the image file on ebay tbh.

    @TheFBAInvestor Cool, I just thought that, in general it'd be a potential issue if not from a recognized distributor/wholesaler (not that such sellers aren't also on eBay)

    @TacoSesh u could still sell it on ebay, prob get a hundred on it, ppl buy broken consoles on there

    @arthurstacy Never heard of these before and I lived in 1995 near them. The toys seem reasonably priced on eBay but not the books. I did find one issue that wasn’t too bad though but it’s only one (I didn’t buy it so it’s still there)

  • albatross_love

    I've been using Ebay for several months, as I'm having Government backed financial problems. Now out of the blue, they are demanding up to date photo id (which I do not have, no currently afford) and denying me access to my funds. Why didn't they ask me when I joined?

    @AdamRackis @ken_wheeler I've often wondered why billionaires are expected to shoulder the blame for all societal issues. If we liquidated Elon's entire net worth, every share, sold every car, took his underwear and sold it on ebay, everything. We could give every US adult 1200 bucks.

  • veggieprice

    @RavityHome £4.49 for 3 on eBay (with free P&P) yet $19.99 on this #scamsite (even at ‘half price’) Never buy from Chinese drop-ship sites like this. No consumer rights, no returns and never receive what’s advertised. @Twitter need to act quicker to shut this scam down.

  • kambrulee
    Stanley Goodspeed (@kambrulee) reported

    @justin71730642 @2BrotherBreaks @CardPurchaser The sticker on the package from USPS literally says it can’t be ridged. That’s an eBay issue if they’re not on the same page as the company used to ship the item.

    I have terrible impulse control so I bought the rest of Inspector Gadget on eBay, I will report back once he has reached his final form.

    eBay is a slow process. I start listing things then find myself shopping. #collectorproblems 😭

    @NataniaBarron Yes like there's a lot of books that I can only find being sold on like ebay for a lot of money and I'm like...is it OK to pirate this then? I have the same issue with the videogame sims 2. It's like it's not sold anymore so is it OK to pirate.

    @P0keProfessor Since the condition of the card makes it a poor grade and this is generally why you buy this card, I'd offer 10% off ebay similar condition listings. Not being able to get a 9 definitely will effect the value of it. Wish Pokemon company offered fixes for these issues due to QA

    @_clicks_ @KJmullinZ @MisterAddons I’ve bought from the eBay seller before with zero issues. The KJ guy is an attention *****.
