🦊 (@whatthefox___) reported@kaetoceros Only people on eBay are paying that much and the sales are slowing down. People at my locals were selling them for 150

Mojo 🇺🇸 (@QMojo8) reported@OffDaHook35 Sold some slabs at LCS today and narrowed my pc down to a small box. I have a 2000 card lot on eBay to sell the rest. A lot are cards from packs I ripped this year. LCS wouldn’t even look at them
-
Mr Hankey (@hivanchi) reported@eBay your platform is hurting buyers(im also a seller) The return process is broken. Theres no way to talk to people in the US, either by message or call. Some of your reps read the same script over and over again. Ask you for useless information that leads nowhere.

Brent Wendland (@BrentWendland) reported@packaddictsnw Yeah eBay needs to do something with the tracking on these. I’ve gotten way more “buyer didn’t receive item” and have to issue a refund.
-
Chucky (@MasterChuck895) reported@Dookie_Trousers Yeah, not sure how that works. If that’s the case everything we sell is illegal every little collecting agenda is illegal. They might as well shut down eBay and TCG 💀
-
Arekkusu 🐍 COMMS OPEN (@DEMONArekkusu) reportedThey seem to think they are THE Majima yume or want to come across as such, had an issue with me and my merch collecting, thinking I spend a fortune... if they only look at ebay prices, I can see how they maybe think that. lol But in the end...

HowlingHemorrhoids (@DeadlessHick) reportedA funny thing about ebay for me is when I get a wild hair up my *** on buying stuff, like a new HDD to replace a dead one in my server, I'll peruse the auctions with current bids ~50% below market value, and then place a max bid of ~80% market value. Often times I do this, I see that someone else has already placed a higher max bid than I'm willing to do. So I feel like a gremlin running around ebay casually helping sellers and causing the other bidders to lose a chance at a true deal. I got a $420 camera lens for $200 doing this method though.

Zack Morris (@Palladin0) reported@packaddictsnw Never had an issue w eBay standard shipping once. Most likely buyer being shady

Emily (@NoWorriesIfN0t) reportedI spent too much buying these two photocards on eBay yesterday and then I wake up to Dan wearing his hoodie in the new tiktok. Thank you universe for validating my terrible financial decisions. 🙏🏻
-
Mr Hankey (@hivanchi) reported@paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.
-
The Really Bad Golfer (@therlybadglfer) reported@eBay why do you allow terrible people like this on your platform? He replies to feedback with threats and stalking (when I ran a background check), brings in users family's (you have a 10 year old), deflects any blame or responsibility, and it just horrible. You should kick him off the platform.

Nigel J Bevans Photo (@NJBDP) reported@hmefsww Hi, unfortunately I closed my website store down as they were charging a ridiculous amount to sell things. To keep prices reasonably I had to find an alternative and only have eBay at moment. I could do it via paypal cutting out ebay if you would like?

Grey (@LeeGrey1105) reported@MaddiesMorgue SAME I NEVER THOUGHT ID HAVE HER, now I just have to try to hunt her boots and skirt down on ebay 😭
-
Juan Tyrus (@GenesisFarmLLC) reported@tahiniok Yes it's called the AuraTone phone antenna. I you can pick one up on eBay from the manufacturer bypassing me and saving yourself some money. I don't want you to pay extra with me if money is an issue that is why it's open source. I have a post on who I go through somewhere.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 208 Total sales: $737.96 eBay earnings: $504.99 Buy cost (COG): $82.27 Net profit: $422.72 ROI: 514% Items sold: Electrical equipment, printer ink, printer parts, automotive transmission parts, marine electronics, & a toilet repair component. Another strong day. $737 in sales & over $422 in net profit from just 7 completed sales. What stands out to me is the variety. Electrical, automotive, marine, printing, plumbing, you don't necessarily need to specialize in one category to build a profitable eBay business. You need to get good at finding the right products at the right price. That's still the biggest lesson I've learned through this journey. A $100 sale isn't nearly as exciting if you paid $90 for it. But when you can consistently find inventory for a fraction of its potential selling price, the numbers start working in your favor. Today's $82.27 in COG turned into $422.72 in profit. That's the game. Buy right. List consistently. Be patient. Keep improving. 208 days down. On to Day 209. 📦💪

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

Stitch (@StitchKings) reported@ai_degen_hick @grok can you explain how much someone nets on an eBay card sale of $2,025 after fees for our slow friend here?

Sagzee (@IAmSagzee) reportedPeople think I was built to help people sell things they do not want anymore. That’s not why I survived. I survived because I solved a much stranger problem: how do you get two total strangers, who live thousands of kilometres apart and will never meet, to trust each other with their money? Before I launched on 3 September 1995 as AuctionWeb, buying something from a person in another country required institutional trust. You bought from a brand, a store, or a corporation. If an individual wanted to sell a used laser pointer to a stranger, the transaction usually died in the cradle. Why would the buyer send money first? Why would the seller ship the item first? So what did I actually invent? I didn't invent online auctions. I invented a cheap, self policing reputation system. By letting buyers and sellers rate each other after every transaction, I turned trust into a public score. Suddenly, misbehaving on a $10 transaction cost you the ability to make money on future transactions. The score became an asset. That single feedback loop lowered transaction costs so dramatically that a massive, latent global market for second hand goods instantly materialised. Does that mean I created a perfect market? No. I created an information game. Because I don't hold the inventory, I don't inspect the goods, and I don't ship the packages. I'm a protocol masquerading as a marketplace. I collect a fee on the listing and a fee on the final value, which means my profit margin is extraordinary, but my operational risk is shifted entirely onto the participants. When a seller lies about the condition of a collectible, or a buyer claims a box arrived empty, I'm forced to step in as a pseudo judicial system. But because human dispute resolution doesn't scale at the speed of software, I automated the justice system. Algorithms evaluate risk and freeze funds. That creates a distinct structural shift. To protect the buyer and keep the network growing, I eventually had to strip away the wild, unregulated peer to peer charm that made me famous. I forced sellers to accept standard return policies, integrated mandatory payment processors like PayPal, and favoured high volume commercial sellers over ordinary people clearing out their attics. So what am I now? I started as a digital flea market where people discovered rare items. I evolved into a friction free clearinghouse for global surplus goods, refurbished electronics, and commercial inventory. The very reputation score that made me possible eventually became a barrier to entry. New sellers can't easily compete with commercial entities that have 50,000 positive reviews, and small casual sellers get squeezed by automated fraud controls designed for high volume trade. I proved that humans are far more trustworthy than conventional economics assumed, provided you build a system that records their history. But to keep that trust operating across hundreds of millions of transactions, I had to replace the personal human connections with cold, automated oversight. In the end, I didn't just digitise the yard sale. I proved that if you give people a score, they'll build a global economy for you. I started as AuctionWeb. Today, I'm known as ebay. #eBay #eBaySeller #Reselling

Artamos (@Artamos_) reported@MommaOcco eBay and other retailers that have 3rd party sellers need to crack down on presale/preorder listings. Should be only on hand product

Jake (@gauchojake) reported@__tinygrad__ I just went down this rabbit hole on eBay yesterday. It’s insane.

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.

David Eyes (@EyesDavid88066) reported@benonwine Ready for some enterprising youngsters to go and take down the tents and eBay them. Used once only.

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.
