  A2A tips (discontinued product edition): 1. Set alerts (FlipAlert, Keepa, etc.) on all discontinued products. You never know when Amazon will find a box in the back of their warehouse 2. Don’t buy deep right away just because you found out it was discontinued. Check how much total inventory is floating around at Amazon and other retailers first. I’ve made the mistake of jumping in way too early and tying up cash flow for months 3. For health & beauty items, put in a small order to check expiration dates before committing capital. It tells you how much time you have to sell through before you’re stuck holding expired product 4. If you have a buy and hold that has an order quantity limit, you can order 27 per week to keep stacking 5. Products going in and out of stock is a sign a product can be discontinued, especially if it can’t be found at any other major retailers. If these two line up, I like to reach out to the brand to confirm 6. If you can’t find the product on the brand’s own website, it’s a good sign it’s discontinued. Not guaranteed since some brands are just slow to update or reorganizing their site but it’s a good first check before digging further 7. Set alerts for third party sellers too. Sometimes a 3P seller doesn’t realize a product is discontinued or lists it lower by mistake and you can flip it back on eBay 8. Put your top items in the saved for later list. Sometimes you can catch Amazon in stock before monitors and alerts go off 9. Check if the discontinued product has a replacement or reformulation. If people still want the original over the new version, that opens up opportunity. If there’s no replacement at all, even better 10. Discontinued isn't always permanent. Brands can bring products back with new packaging, size changes, or just changing their minds. Always verify but don't assume discontinued always means gone forever

  Ebay is ******* broken lmao. Got an item returned as "unverified" from authentication. (It's real, they're retarded) However, the shipping for the return package never updated. So, the auto-refund didn't register. And I can't manually refund the customer, since the "authentication guarantee" won't register a full refund as a "resolved dispute", thereby dinging my account. And when I go to ebay help now, this is the screen I get, because I typed exactly 4 questions longer than a sentence into their search bar. It is impossible to speak with a human on ebay. I guess I'll just ******* eat this for now, but I don't know what to do. And I hate that "working for yourself" still involved on relying upon retarded companies run by ****** Indian AIs, so you have to fight to make the few bucks profit you get after the dumb fees.

  4/ eBay tables, side hustles, and garage sellers hit this when rate cards flip mid-year. The fix is multi-carrier quotes on the real box. Not a trip to the landscaping aisle.

  Prices drift. Stock desyncs. SKUs misalign daily between marketplaces — and most sellers discover it after margin has leaked. Built Mendmark to fix that. AI agents reconcile listings, prices and stock on Amazon, Shopify, eBay and Walmart. Every hour. Live soon.

  Big brands clear listings with legal teams. Solo sellers lose them to Prop 65 warnings, GPSR labels, or trademark conflicts they didn't know existed. Citeward reads every listing on Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, and eBay, flags the gaps, and drafts the fix. Live soon.

  @Joe2ShiestyLit Here’s the issue. When these 3 companies started to use AI, they just left it at that. - eBay - YouTube - Facebook They let AI be the end all be all, when they know it makes mistakes. YouTube will fall soon enough.

  @BIGBetts1999 @eBay If you got an email from ebay about an authentication issue, there should be a link to request a call from eBay's customer service team. Anytime I have an issue, I just go back and find the old authentication email, have them call me, then reference the new order # and get a resolution. Works 100% of the time. Good luck!

  @eBay So a buyer cancels an order within seconds, I nicely say Accept, but then i have to go waste my time and claim back postage, and wait. You automatically return the listing fee.. Makes no sense! Totally broken workflow in 2026! Do better!

  I wish I had the money to get a slow motion camera (the cheaper ones are still 5 grand). I also wish there were ones for like 500 bucks new. All the ones that are that price are used and on ebay. The one I have is 1000fps in **** quality.

  One particular card I keep in my eBay search constantly has the wrong card #. With as many as I have seen, it has to be intentional deception, right? CPA vs CRA. As advanced as eBay is becoming, it should be able to catch the “error”, right? 🤔 #GottaDoYourDD @CardPurchaser

  The reselling stack is broken into pieces by design. Closo, List Perfectly, Underpriced AI, Snappyit — none of them finish the job. Sellsmith runs listings, repricing, offers, and shipping as one agent across Mercari, Poshmark, and eBay. Live soon.

  @eBay_UK In the meantime customers are asking why I haven't refunded them yet. "Sorry, it's not you, or me, it's the utter crap that is eBay". You would think for the amount of money we pay in fees, we would be able to use the site without constant errors.

  @peak_skier @MPelletierCIO You are so correct. I gave up on eBay about six years ago. Too many slow or dead listings. Site is overrun with scammers who file chargebacks after receiving items. Ironically, the site ran better before PayPal when buyers would mail envelopes with money orders or cash.

  Watch out as an eBay Live seller for a user named: teel_5457 Running bids up and taking down over a dozen in a row and kept refusing to pay for the ones he won before bidding on more. Poor seller was about to lose his mind. #TheHobby

  @AMCTheatres @CEOAdam While you're cracking down on EBAY scalpers, could you also enforce a no water bottle/canister ban on all theaters? (We all know they bring them in and refill them at the Freestyle stations without paying) Why am I paying more for their theft?

  A 21-YEAR-OLD GUY FROM GERMANY MADE $20,000 A MONTH DROPSHIPPING His eBay store has nearly 20,000 listings and was already sitting at $18,872 in 31-day sales when one order suddenly became a problem, the Shark vacuum hose he sold for $63 had disappeared from Amazon After fees, only $49 was left to work with, so another Amazon seller asking $118 was useless, forcing him to find the exact same replacement on Walmart for $48.72 delivered, leaving barely any room for error The crazy part is that he made just $10.03 on that order, yet six orders that day produced $92.28 profit, while his first 16 days had already reached $1,136.89, showing why this model is less about one huge flip and more about making hundreds of small transactions work

  @JC_colleccoast That’s pretty cool man. I never thought about using ChatGPT for research. My my son and I PC Giants, 49ers, and Braves. Overtime with ripping we just accumulated too many cards. So about three months ago I started up at Ebay store for him. Normally, I check the sold items on eBay to get an accurate listing. My problem is getting the view. Not sure why some cards have a higher viewing than others. I have some that have been on there for two months with nothing.

  @AnarchoDarling Same here. Had my ebay shop for years. Did very well before PayPal ca.e in. Shut down my auction last year. AI, and excessive fees are killing g side and small business.

  @darrenrovell Idk why eBay lets a buyer with no feedback bid on high priced items. You know you aren't getting payment and will have to relist it. The hype dies down or something happens and now you're out a ton of $ because eBay refuses to have any requirements for buyers.

  @RaisinTcg To the Moon 🚀 and I’ll tell you what I wasn’t told when I pulled my 1st manga. It’s a speed game. Grade fast ( yes it’s more expensive but that doesn’t matter you’ll make the money back) sell fast. ( don’t accept the PSA offer. Currently they are at 40% so multiply whatever number they hit you with by 60% and that’s the true value of the card) Selling on eBay will take 7 days to sell and 7 days to get your money. Strategize accordingly. If you sell IRL you will find a buyer but you’ll also have trouble explaining the funds down the line. Your choice based on what your end goal is. Good luck and GOD SPEED 🫡
