    @mistermrnelson I wanna be ready when I get him! Plus, Starscream has been out for a good while now, so he's only gonna get harder to find in stores. And I certainly didn't want to pay a premium to get him off eBay down the road.

  • TMNT_MOTU_RGB J (@TMNT_MOTU_RGB) reported

    @ModernToyfare Yeah mines going on eBay. Whatever I get for it. Brings the price of my skeletons down.

  • adhdcatlady91 😻🧠👩🏼‍🔬👩🏽‍💻🧝🏻‍♀️🎲 (she/her) (@adhdcatlady91) reported

    What happens to the little equipment when a lab moves or shuts down? I'm trying to get my hands on an inexpensive digital hot plate with a magnetic stirrer, but I don't want any of the sketchy no-brand kinds you find on ebay or Amazon. I've found everything EXCEPT a hot plate.

  • KinqBvg B U G ~ (@KinqBvg) reported

    @tormiline where is the best place to sell them? First thought was Ebay, but that seemed like itd be bad and slow as ****

  • newagemiguel Miguel B (@newagemiguel) reported

    @TheGioRoyals @BUYSELLTRADETCG @HobbyConnector One in auction now on eBay at $240 including shipping. Prices will be up or down a little, but I think my price is fair

  • rainydayretro Rainy Day Retro (@rainydayretro) reported

    @Hastor @zerohimself @DfknG85 Nope. Ebay typically always sides with the buyer regardless of any evidence. A lot of my systems have been sold on ebay, just due to the larger market and visiblity. I haven't had problems like this personally, but I know it's very likely to happen at some point. :-(

  • TreeGuru00 TreeGuru (@TreeGuru00) reported

    @omar_dude @AskeBay Same man, its crazy because when I searched on search engines I would only get results from 1-2 years ago with my type of problem even though ebay is used by million of people.

  • Puredarkness500 Andrew Elric 🔞 Comms OPEN! (@Puredarkness500) reported

    @Somegu_ That's bonkers; I hope they take it down. Maybe filing a claim through eBay would help? If ya haven't done that already~

  • WasabiRyo Ryan Mulligan #TornadoDDT (@WasabiRyo) reported

    @drscottkelly Just some weird stuff on my TL. Plus realizing the ebay creeps are gonna be everywhere down here in a week.

  • PeteIllustrated Hello! I'm Peter. Where are you from? Originally. (@PeteIllustrated) reported

    @aceofknaves88 You can buy them on eBay but you will be paying a little extra. Im still on the hunt myself. I was able to fix the one I bought originally but I still want the real deal.

  • JPark3rFL Josh Parker (@JPark3rFL) reported

    @CardPurchaser Twitter sales have slowed down a bit, eBay has been hit or miss… good time to be a buyer, prices have come back to a more realistic price on most things

  • ourtradingcards Dr. Sports Antagonist/Dr. Card Economist (Ben) (@ourtradingcards) reported

    @sabrgeek @onemillioncubs Now you're pushing it. Now it's THREE hours! I have no real issues with Beau the person. I can kiss and make up with him. But he would need to leave my commentary and analytics on eBay related stuff to himself and scroll past it...

  • Saydi1989 Saydi (@Saydi1989) reported

    @Super_Novae3 Keep saving. Something i gotta do, but i keep buying broken electronics on eBay to try and fix them...

  • DeeTeeGotem Dakota (@DeeTeeGotem) reported

    Bro @eBay messed up my shoe box in transit and somehow it’s my fault. Full issue to the buyer smh, my first mishap selling on here 🤬

  • Enojadoland Enojado (@Enojadoland) reported

    @Remanance Keep in mind that the problem with giving out stl's of your work is that there is a 100% chance they WILL be stolen and leaked on Telegram groups for free, sold without permission by Chinese Ebay sellers for like a dollar, etc.

  • E3537Scarton Ernesto Garcia Van Grieken Scarton (E) (@E3537Scarton) reported

    @eBay Hi, eBay is my home, it's a tremendous Company indeed,but right now I have a Problem with 4 Packages that I bought in eBay last December and January,well the Sellers use the infamous @USPS to send me the Packages and neither of them has arrive! I have tried everything but

  • laurencelpg ⅃-L (@laurencelpg) reported

    @josie_teagarden Why do I have to type girly??? I am terrible at finding **** on ebay

  • froggijuiccyy mothra (@froggijuiccyy) reported

    @plaid_alchemist Someone could get away with it on eBay but idk how many acacia fans are on eBay lol , however Etsy would take your shop down for doing something that , and Etsy shops have to have a social security number to be made , so it not like you could keep making new shops :P

  • Ramshouse99 Chris (@Ramshouse99) reported

    @1KYWildcatfan @RickyJustinian2 Actually EBay has them but for absurd prices , maybe in a few months they’ll go down in price

  • lil_wikipedia Lil Wikipedia (@lil_wikipedia) reported

    In February 2007, after Britney Spears shaved all of her hair off in a Los Angeles salon, it was listed on eBay for US$1M before the listing was taken down.

  • nkmurgor naftalimurgor (@nkmurgor) reported

    @bettVickayz @ndiritu_michael If it's too good to be true it mostly isn't. I was toying with the idea of getting a lowspec DELL server (refurbished) looked up the prices, there's a website that listed it for 60k while on Ebay lowest went for $2800. Same price, copied-pasted product descriptions, exact images

  • DeanofStocks1 Dean of Stocks (@DeanofStocks1) reported

    @SpacBobby NOPE parting with ebay down fall

  • OnlyTheLonesome The Spirit of Lonesome George (@OnlyTheLonesome) reported

    Humidor arrives today in post. Larger than I expected. Had to get rid of the ebay box before wife gets home, otherwise in trouble. Duly dispatched. Pride of place (hidden) on TV stand.

  • MikesUpperDeck1 Mike’s Retro Trading Cards (@MikesUpperDeck1) reported

    @Maverick8519 @eBay @USPS I have sent over 100 in the last month with no issue. I think the biggest issue is rogue postal workers that aren’t familiar with it. Hoping it’s an isolated issue!

  • ymkt0876 Yumio Katsumata( 勝又弓雄) (@ymkt0876) reported

    @SenlisHasWings Search on Amazon or eBay! These books are relatively cheap when focusing on "pre-owned." I didn't have any issue with pre-owned so far.

  • WednesdayComix Wednesday Comix (@WednesdayComix) reported from Oak Park, Illinois

    @EntEarth Broken down boxes set aside for shipping purposes that never get used ‘cause you’re on an eBay hiatus

  • jayhenry79 Jay Henry (@jayhenry79) reported

    @Dexxxzzz A problem I would thankfully love to have. Shoes gain value believe it or not. I try to find some as cheap as possible. Those 5 pair of deadstock Vapormax in the photo I bought were $100 each. They sell for average $250 apiece on eBay. So I am being smart about it when I can

  • Worsel555 Ken Williams (@Worsel555) reported

    @MobCat_ @MrMario2011 Except money from the transaction, well, that is until the buyer makes something up about it not working and get's a full refund automatically without Ebay even asking for proof. Then it's nothing! Should have taken the red snapper, verrrrry tasty!

  • fifthgenaus CC (@fifthgenaus) reported

    @DocDocwight So if I buy asecond hand(new, still in box) leaf blower on Ebay, then 2years later the battery and charger not working, but it has a 6 year warranty, Ryobi wont honor the warranty. Only if bought from Bunnings! Was registered at Ryobi website at time of purchase.

  • JHey216 J Allen (@JHey216) reported

    @AMsportcards You're the only person I've ever had an issue with on here .. Ever! And over me posting a card on your feed and 1 comp not showing up on my ebay past sales to boot and im weird? ...Got it!
