dave (@davejones3334) reported@LLMJunky @stevenharms I don’t sell much on eBay but almost every tech item I’ve had scammer issues. Luckily I didn’t lose any money and they were fairly low value items in the 100-300 range. I would not trust selling a multi thousand dollar item there.

Byron Vallis (@Byronnn6) reported@calvinfroedge Free shipping and eBay fees will knock this down to like $4.5 my friend. Better luck next time

ZaxCardZone (@ZaxCardZone) reportedMade my first mistake on eBay tn. Listed a card (over $20) with my PWE shipping cost (I set a flat rate of 1.25 for PWE). Shipping is $6, anyway to change/fix this or am I just out the $5. No big deal if so, this is what happens when I list cards extremely tired. @CardPurchaser

— Daniel (@_danreynolds_) reportedDesigned and sold my own bike parts on eBay First £1k online Absolutely zero clue what I was doing I just saw a space for a product, knew how to get stuff 3D printed, and built the product I wanted for myself - Ordered 3D printed parts for ~£7 - Final assembly + packaging ~£2 - Sold for £35 bosh Only shut it down bc a friend (competitor in the industry) asked me if I had insurance Spent a whole day phoning up insurance companies None of whom offered to cover me And bc the bike part was related to steering… I bottled it and shut down the biz (Didnt fancy my chances getting sued over an untested product if one of my buyers lost his teeth in a 1v1 with the floor) Boy oh boy that was a fun summer

-
XRPL Forum (@xrpforum) reported@FinanceLancelot Was on the phone with eBay today, the agent told me with humor he basically does not have to do anything anymore, its all handled with AI Agents that make all the decisions and process the issues, he's literally just there because we want to speak to real people still.

𖦹ဗ The Hivemind ☆𖹭 (@BendyLoneWolf) reportedI already had the first two Bendy and Boris ones from back when they were being sent out. The scary lil Christmas ones I got later down the line on eBay, and the naughty or nice one this year on Mercari.

Amanda 🥀 (@lxveatfirstbite) reported@AFRAlD0FTHEDARK I just bought a long chain from eBay and cut each bit down to size
-
Alex Thompson (@sierrastrades) reportedTL;DR Sales down, profits up, cash lower because they turned the eBay options into real shares. • Sales: $780–800M vs $972M last year. Drop is mostly Switch 2 anniversary, store closures, and selling France. • Operating income: $150–170M vs $66M. Core operations got a lot more profitable. • Net income: $290–310M vs $169M. Includes ~$238M eBay gain, minus ~$75M digital-asset loss. • Cash: $5.05–5.07B vs $8.69B last year. Cash fell because they converted the eBay derivatives into 43.4 million eBay shares, now worth about $4.95B. • Full results drop September 8.

Derek Huntley (@BigDerek_KU) reported@eBay fix your app. I’m tired of getting live notifications when I have them turned off. Beyond annoying!

Chris Swanski (@ChrisSwanski) reported@CoCCollectibles Yeah. Still nice though. Don't feel bad. I owned THE Brady card for a minute in 2004. Got it for $400 from Ebay back when the photos were usually terrible. Seller said it was NM, but I couldn't tell from the pics. I trusted him. It wasn't NM, so I sold it at a loss.
-
Jenny Jen Jennifer VCR Queen (@vcrqueenjen) reported@FoxgirlGoRawr Yep! Overall, I've not had terrible luck with returns given the amount of things I've sold on ebay but it does happen from time to time & for some cursed reason I've had a few returns in the past couple weeks. It's abnormal to have multiple in such a short time and I don't like it lol
-
Ask About My Dining Room Tables replyguy/acc, PhD (@agamemnus_dev) reported@aupdegraff24 @CatNihon Same with eBay. I keep calling them about a listing that they suspended showing them that it should be back online. They said they will fix it within 2-3 business days and they never do.
-
nick (@nickch00) reported@capitaloneshop having issues unlocking eBay gift cards that I redeemed couple months ago. Giving me an error. Can someone help?
-
Pokémon Deals, Restock and Alerts (@PokemonRestockr) reported@Pacho9_3 It looks like eBay just took down another seller of the 30th pre orders. Seems only seasoned sellers like footballpete and a few others are actually safe. I think I’ll avoid posting 30th eBay links regardless moving forward until September 16th

David Graham (@DavidAGraham) reportedWhy is the Camera in EastEnders wobbling up and down? Do they know you can buy a tripod from eBay. How much did that multimillion pound set refurbishment cost?
-
Reincarnated Raccoon (@bpdraccoon) reported@SaffronOlive Alot of this is sellers buying from themselves to inflate ebay has alot of thay issue rn trying to change the prices on things
-
collectorfix (@collectorfix) reported@CardPurchaser @CardPurchaser why have you all-of-a-sudden been focusing primarily on selling cards and how on eBay lately? Like micro breaking it down. Like obsessed with it.
-
Sj (@Pkrguy23) reported@clarkknowscards DM me and I will tell you how I got out of eBay jail from their error which plagued me for almost 6 months. Should work the same for you.

Gerard Hughes ( @ghhughes.bsky.social ) (@ghhughes) reported@selStreams @austeregrim @RDKLInc You can't buy CPAPs, for example, on eBay. They are class II medical devices and their requires a doctor's prescription. Some people have tried to get around that by selling a CPAP travel bag for $300, which just so happened to have a CPAP in it. But eBay has cracked down on that, too. Not all medical devices require a prescription, though.

ᴅᴏɴᴏᴠᴀɴ² 🇺🇸🇬🇧 (@arcanedonovan) reported@PunchingCat @michiganstan25 i put them on ebay for my house down payment
-
LenSatic (@CasitaSD17) reported@laralogan Goodwill was established to train unemployed or undereducated men to repair items for resale. Now they don't accept broken items that need repair. And they have learned that they can make more money reselling stuff on eBay than in stores.
-
StuArt (@StuHack73) reported@TheRealBonJavi @johnshanks1 They’re worth about as much as a Jim'll Fix It badge on eBay, bin them.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 206 Total sales: $1,148.99 eBay earnings: $854.40 Buy cost (COG): $296.57 Net profit: $557.83 ROI: 188% Items sold: Home protection equipment, pressure washer part, automotive part, battery charger, carburetor, & sports training equipment. Another $1K+ sales day. 🔥 The key is having enough quality inventory listed to make these days possible. Today's sales also came from several completely different categories, which continues to reinforce the importance of diversifying inventory rather than relying on one type of product. The work continues behind the scenes too. Refresh old listings Fix listings that aren't getting attention Adjust pricing on stale inventory Keep sourcing Keep listing 206 days in & I'm still pushing forward. Some days are small. Some days are big. But the goal is the same every day, keep moving the business forward. On to Day 207. 📦💪🚀

Number 5 (@NumberFiveAlive) reported@clarkknowscards @phatjer300 @OnlyCharizard If you select “buyer requested cancellation” it will not ding your eBay account. All the other options from the drop down menu do. I lost top rated seller once for cancelling just 2 orders within a couple months.
