Mark B (@Diputsur) reported$GME watching citadel and point 72 moves in advance of quad witching? Building a fortress to hold down the fort? Let them! Hey @ryancohen I know a company that could make you 100x more $ than eBay if you deploy our 9B on it before citadel realizes what hit them! #letThemShort

Matthew J. Taylor (@semperadiuvans) reported@wildprichard A large book reseller on eBay. I've used the contact seller feature to let them know of the issue. I don't want to name-drop, as I've had similar issues before with various such resellers (including for copies of REC BCPs) and they are normally resolved amicably within days.

Tony Soprano (@BigT_soprano) reported@Kian0201 anything that is slow selling on vinted , I sell on ebay. they sell but for pence rather than pounds but they are gone. sold 3 on ebay Sunday night and the money is already in my bank. sent the parcel yesterday. I'm not getting money from vinted 10 days after sending stuff.

ryevermouthbitters 🇺🇦 (@ryeandbitters) reported@foxenflask Yeah, that's the thing. When RC was doing his EPS computations, he left out the interest on $20 billion of new debt. EPS would go down even after the expense cuts. Which again, eBay could do itself if it wanted. Why would those tutes want Gamestop in the mix?

Adam Neville (@AdamNeville) reported@SophiaMyles @YouTube Tracked it down on eBay eventually.

Angela Beegle (aka chotii) ☕ (@chotiari) reported@alt_w_v_g @soylentbeige I've been selling on eBay for 20 years. Recently, I had some sales that I could not follow through one. In one case an item had gotten broken in storage, in another I simply couldn't find it. I let the buyers know I canceled the sales. The buyers were fine with it. But eBay's algorithm punishes me. My fees are 30% higher and my visibility is down. I've been threatened that if I don't improve my transaction defect rate, I may be banned. But since my visibility has been throttled, people can't find me. And I can't force people to buy, especially if they can't even find me. I literally have no way to improve my transaction, defect rate except by making sales without any errors. And I can't make sales. Congratulations eBay, you may be driving me off after 20 years

MD (@MorgenHatton) reported@RyanCohen does not see @eBay as broken. He sees it as under-earning. That distinction matters. eBay already has scale, buyers, sellers, GMV, advertising revenue, and global trust. But the experience still feels like yesterday’s internet. @GameStop’s opportunity is to add what eBay lacks: live entertainment, physical authentication, local drop-off, collector culture, retail touchpoints, and a reason for younger users to care. If Cohen is right, the upside is not just cost cuts. It’s multiple expansion. eBay stops being valued like a mature listings platform and starts being valued like a global commerce exchange. $GME

Scrumbopulous X (@ScrumbopulousX) reported@HobbyHero_Bros @eBay I've reported fake listings, and even showed that there were multiples of the same card posted using the same pictures, description, everything. And eBay always comes back and says ''This account does not go against our policies". Even if you can't PROVE the card is fake, or it's a BS listing, at the very least they should acknowledge and take down listings that have the same picture/description. Nope. Apparently you can have 100 different accounts with the exact same pictures/description. That isn't against eBay's policy, even though it's literally one of the menu selections on ''why are you reporting this post?''

SeaSickMutant.eth | revolt.eth (@SeaSickMutant) reported@prezmike25 @eBay @CardPurchaser Got it- but it still ships to the international hub…so is there any issues there?

Kevin Siegel (@Scarriet_Bubman) reported@DadRipsPacks @wemby210 @CardPurchaser eBay doesn't always show sold amount though which is a huge issue

HelpfulMilk (@HelpfulMilk546) reportedI think regardless if this solana:7HgfXftRBBqsYtAEYcqjGLQrNJLL6Tww9ek4rE3Apump becomes crazy crazy like 20x it’s still gonna prob pump on eBay acquisition news as that develops. I mean think it’s up 40% today on nothing if it comes out there’s a tender offer for eBay maybe it 100-150% in a day depending on market cap ofc I feel like there’s been days GME has dumped on dilution but arguably good for gme raising cash etc so maybe this coin becomes an inverse like oh ya gme goes down in dilution but gme is long term better off in real assets so this coin pumps solana:7HgfXftRBBqsYtAEYcqjGLQrNJLL6Tww9ek4rE3Apump

that nerd 😼 (@spokenclaw) reported@knifedog7 I don't shop much online, so it really comes down to the specific thing I'm looking for. Most often amazon sometimes Ebay, or just some store for the specific thing I don't really do like online shopping for stuff I could just get in the city

Alecto Natchios 🏳️🌈 (@AshleyTweetssss) reportedForgot to order my Daredevil 2026 #2 so now I have to wait for a reprint or pay $30 in shipping for a single issue off eBay. **** my stupid dork life…

Sparky Buchta (@BuchtaSpar98692) reported@quantum1nvestor If there was (still may be) a merger. GME would have to issue like 1.1 BILLION shares to contribute to exchanging eBay shares for GME shares.There is NO MOASS in GME buying a bigger entity. This is why your moneys gone. And im a GME holder. Not shill.your assumption is false
-
Elvis (@Godstimelvis) reportedThe $1,800 eBay listing is an outlier for a super rare sealed copy, but the point stands, even a standard used copy is pushing $300+. The market is completely broken for international fans.
-
BIGNOAH 👨🏽💻 (@BIGNOAH256) reportedNah eBay really the goto. But I’d switch to search by region bc shipping itself is just terrible these days if the item far away
-
Ron Berkowitz (@CSWakka) reported@ryeandbitters “If they wanted him, they’d just hire him” That statement right there is the issue with your claim. RC had explicitly stated his intention is to own eBay and clean house. Why would he want to be hired and subjected to the same board he wants to remove? Better to be an owner
-
bismack (@_bismack_) reportedIf you told me PSA pop controls and this is one of the ways they do it, I'd have a hard time not believing you. Really weird that there seems to be zero urgency on either the @eBay or @PSAcard side to fix an obvious shipping flaw with this supposed "premium" service.
-
LetsHara (@anaharaway) reported@ryeandbitters eBay wants GME for better CEO and better board. How do you justify all the crazy stuff happening within eBay’s board? It’s really bad. It’s embarrassing. Ryan Cohen is not going keep his stocks of eBay if they don’t get their act together. That alone is a big issue.
-
Aut Faciam (@OrMakeOne) reported@2e0rtb Well I got the lead "fixed"* and the problem sadly persists. I've snapped up a 2nd hand R-Net joystick unit on Ebay, but no idea how well it will interact the the Fieldmaster's 4 motors. *Not practically usable, but solder repaired to the point all the pins had continuity.

Scott Sleepy (@scott_sleepy) reported@Kaaroth @mikee_degen I have two thoughts on this: eBay is 99% institutional owned (or 89% institutional with a 10% insider who is likely hostile), and tender offers are actually even more challenging in these dominations. It’s extremely rare that institutions participate in tender offers or voice support for activist campaigns. This makes a tender offer right now extremely, extremely challenging. Point 2: I actually think we get a huge market crash immediately in 2027, right after midterms. In the scenario where the market tanks, eBay is down >40%, Ryan keeps the $125 offer on the table, and the board has received bad press for 6+ months that is tarnishing their reputation - they are effectively forced to sell the company at that point. And in this scenario, if they don’t sell, a tender offer has a much higher chance of success. This is imo a high success chance outcome that is in a realistic timeline. Just wanted to pass along my two cents, I did a lot of research and brainstorming with grok on tender offers, and this is the scenario where it can succeed. Going to a tender offer though in a couple month when the share price is around $110 and the board is still hostile? Surprisingly that has historically a very low chance of success

CG Horror (@CGHorror) reported@G_I_DAVE All these pics, I'm seriously of thinking of just slapping down the money for one on eBay. There's a retro toy convention in Hershey this summer, so I might hold out for that.

🥩SirBeef (@Sir_BeefWelly) reported@allset24 I sell most of my cards on eBay - 99% of the time zero issues

Jon Waldman (@jonwaldman) reported@wemby210 @CardPurchaser The eBay problem is shipping often makes up for shortfall in expected sale.

Silent_Stevie 🏴 Dieu et mon droit (@Silent_Stevie) reported@celtic_jaime Love em, my grandad used to keep his nuts screws bolts everything in them. I’ve kept the ones that were handed down to me and surprised to see they sell for a small fortune on eBay. Brings back memories of better times and a happier England..

Regular Degular (@Sixer7deadboy) reported@Daveforthelawl @DesirableTruth Unless he got swagger... I dated a psychologist and I was a drug dealer which is way worse. She thought I just sold **** on eBay and her friends wanted me too. It's all about the man.. has nothing to do with her preferences.. especially if you **** her down and change them.

Pokemaam (@poke_maam) reportedSellers all be saying bc @eBay is buyer friendly. It is not! Sucks both ways, benefiting bad actors but not genuine issues. Cases Ive lost: - Seller shipped slab in envelope with no protection. Cracked slab arrive. Seller reviews in revent month had many complaints about cracked slabs. Screenshotted reviews and my own cracked slab. I lost. Apparently multiple complaints from many buyers dont matter to ebay. - Seller sent me a PSA 8 instead of PSA 9, opened a case, wrote to seller and seller said he would refund. Went dead. Window for refunds closed on the MiA. Wrote to ebay, says no refund even though wrong item sent. Im sure everyone on both the buyer and seller sides have their own ebay horror stories. So indeed, they are ready for disruption. Fees are less an issue if service is good. Often wonder if they have an actual human reviewing cases.

Jack Dillard (@Kraven1776) reported@seymourbutts741 @ryancohen Dude eBay was the bait, wallstreet and apparently all bbby community took the massive eBay bait. This is the Kansas city shuffle. Thats all I wanted to say in the spacecall, but silencing ideas and shutting down thought that go against the consensus group think is lame.
