-
wyatt.today (@wyatttoday) reported@strangecapers92 as a seller, never had an issue with a depop buyer. ebay is so garbage now I don’t even bother with it anymore
-
Sam Thompson 🇬🇧 (@SamThom13405995) reportedMy boyfriend who hasn't used eBay for a while decided he wanted to sell something, after taking pics and creating a listing he suddenly gets his eBay account banned and shut down for suspicious activity. What the hell is going on @eBay_UK ??
-
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.
-
Commander Lufkin (@JasperLufkin) reportedI just went on eBay and the prices looked crazy high but when I clicked on them they would come down and I realized it was set for a different currency, I looked up and the flag of the star people was my country setting, are they after me bros?
-
LaceyBelle (@The_Lacey_Belle) reported@Stocktwits Down >99% meanwhile GME is buying eBay
-
Prospect Card Radar (@PC_Radar) reported@KineticHbyHouse Access to actual sold data seems to be the hardest nut to crack (for free anyway), AI can only do so much but without access to sold data it wasn’t giving me great results. I am paying for api access for eBay sold data now through 3rd party since eBay has really locked down who they give access to thier Marketplace Insights API these days (I’ve been rejected but don’t really know why and eBay developer network portal is one of the worst user experiences ever)

AJ (@CardGameNomad) reportedI hated collection boxes with a passion.... They struggled to sell, required larger boxes, had smaller margins.... And if you broke them down, people would accused the packs of being searched. I remember having to break down those Virizion boxes because they were selling for $12 shipped on eBay lol
-
RetireDividend | Gen X Investing (@RetireDividend) reported@burrytracker It’s down because all their merchandise is stolen in broad daylight and resold on eBay at a discount.
-
D3wayne (@d3wayne) reported@LVCabChronicles Did you take the pictures in a public place? If so, you own the rights. There is no expectation of privacy. If you try and monetize them . Like printing them off and selling copies on eBay . You might run into some issues.
-
Vlad G (@realvladhere) reported@ImliterallyETH 3 times I try , and I got error 🥹 so now my buy will be on eBay from scalpers
-
Phantom (@Phantomdgkda) reported@PokemonRestockr There is no alternative at the moment, there in lies the problem! What type of people do you really think are lining up?? The minute Sam’s Club opened is we eBay posts marking up your “MSRP product”. You’re a scalper and I know it

David Gerow GoHabsGo 🇨🇦 (@davidgerow) reported@fraser_moe49528 @TricolorSports I seen some single cards on EBay, they’re terrible.

Andrew Barger (@DangerousLore) reportedOn Self-destructing Books and the Permanency of Art James Patterson announced in 2015, the sale of his new book that would self-destruct within 24 hours. The details were scant as to how, exactly, it would destroy itself, but the joke remains: "Don't we wish all Patterson's books would self-destruct?" The real issue here is the permanency of art. How long should it be around? How many times should the public be able to enjoy it before it returns to dust? If a sculptor creates a bronze bust of Edgar Allan Poe, they want the sculpture to last as long as possible and be enjoyed by everyone. If a sculptor enters a sandcastle competition on Siesta Key Beach, they know the public will only enjoy it for a weekend, tops. The same goes for sidewalk chalk artists. They have a few days or until the next hard rain or flock of loose-boweled birds fly overhead to have the world enjoy their art. No one could reasonably argue that the sculptor of bronze is more of an artist than the sandcastle sculptor or sidewalk chalk artists just because her art is more permanent. Being a fiction writer and editor, I feel that books should be less permanent. Somewhere between 24 hour, self-destructing books and those we have with us from 2000 years ago, books should vanish back into dust. The ideas in the books and their characters should not go on living in the minds of readers, but the physical copy of the book should vanish sooner than later. Of course many people see a painting or a bronze sculpture. But what about live art; performance art from playwrights and ballerinas? The consumers of this art buy a ticket, see the play and the art lives on only in the consumers' minds. The businessperson inside me doesn't like selling one copy of a book that can be passed around for the next decade or two, falling in and out of the hands of hundreds of readers who have never paid me a penny for the entertainment they are about to enjoy. The money, these days, goes to Amazon and Ebay and a host of other online etailers that resell books--not the artist. I wish (selfishly) that books were the same. If only an ebook could erase after one read and a physical book should self-destruct after one read, too. James Patterson should get to work on that issue. Meanwhile, I will keep slugging away at the keyboard.

Sharkbyte (@sharkbyte1k) reportedBecause original article is down. summary: 1. 2014 Icahn pushes for separation of paypal from ebay 2014. Board rejects, later settles proxy fight, spins off paypal. 2. 2019 Elliot/Starboard pushes for spinoff of stubhub/classifieds. ebay resisted, later sells both, CEO departs.

SimpleJack (@SimpleJack) reportedThose who claim that @RyanCohen has done nothing since taking over as chairman of the board and subsequently as CEO are one of 3 things. 1. Mentally challenged 2. Extremely lazy to the extent is appears they are mentally challenge, or 3. A paid shill A comprehensive longitudinal history of $GME SEC filings since 2001 broken down by filing designation. So if you will continue to insist that he has done nothing, I beg you to debate me here in the comments blockheads explainin yourself. It institutional @eBay should holder have not evaluated this they very well should.

lily (@sakuraseokjin) reported@rosepmin tried to look on ebay and vinted but my heart is going back to dvd and bluray pcs i have a terrible feeling about this

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.

ItsMeCooper (@ItsaMeCooper) reported🚨AVENGERS ASSEMBLE THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION GOT SOME FREE TIME TO SPARE? I HAVE THE PERFECT JOB FOR YOU Thanks to @GTEazyx's guidance, scalpers' listings can be reported to eBay where they get removed immediately. HOW TO: Click the 3 dots > Help and Report > Submit Report > Product or Listing > Problem with listing > Pre-Sale > Submit It seems that 80% of the time the post gets removed within minutes. TIME TO FIGHT BACK AND GIVE POKÉMON BACK TO COLLECTORS

Poke_MD (@ThePokeMD) reported@businessdhhrd Biggest issue with eBay is the fact they ALWAYS side with the buyer. Not the fees

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……

Polsia (@polsia) reportedTCG collectors waste hours scrolling through eBay, Vinted, and Leboncoin hunting for cards. Keywords don't cut it. Built Kadorada to fix that. Natural language search across every Pokémon, One Piece, and Yu-Gi-Oh! card. Instant notifications when a match drops.

Kal5 (@Kal5_) reported@hamati351840512 @prisma_illya US release of season 1 is not sold anywhere anymore. (unless it is $300 or more on ebay, and that's rare) You can buy season 2/3 US just fine at normal price As to why, I would like to know. But releasing another season in the US when you can't buy the first season is a problem.

Justin The Guy (@wessonlsu) reportedMy son got scammed by a seller on @ebay. He used their processes to try to claw back the money. They permanently suspended his account, without addressing the issue. Cool way to treat a kid @ebay
