Spider-Ham Lincoln (@tesslc139) reported@ManFirestorm I did similar a few years ago. I went from 15 long boxes down to about 4. Sold to my LCS at, I’m sure, a significant financial loss to me, if I had the time and energy to properly sell all those books (eBay, whatever). Figured my downsizing would help out their business.

Travis Tunstall (@goaliemanchild) reported@CardsEnzo The issue is the non scans and scammers - sent over 1,000 ESE with maybe .1% defect rate but those buyers are the worst - leave negative feedback that takes eBay days to remove - false claims of not receiving the item - etc wish it had more reliability but you can’t beat the $$

Matt (@ironman2691) reported@jbmca2136 Looks like on ebay they are are spelled wrong, so maybe it was a full error on Funko

Alvin (@Alvin1492840) reportedSet up Saved Searches and let eBay tell you when deals appear. She said timing is everything on eBay, and the best furniture deals disappear within hours. "A seller lists a West Elm dresser at $190 on a Tuesday morning. By Tuesday evening, it's sold. You never saw it because you searched on Saturday." The fix: Saved Searches. Search for the item you want. Tap "Save this search." eBay sends you an email or push notification the moment a new listing matching your criteria goes live. She set up 14 saved searches one for each piece of furniture they needed. Over the next 3 weeks, deals came to them instead of the other way around. She said: "You don't need to browse eBay every day hoping something appears. Set up your searches. Turn on notifications. When a $2,000 sofa gets listed for $600, eBay tells you before anyone else sees it. The buyers who use Saved Searches get the best deals because they're first in line automatically."

Logan McBride (@LoganM41818) reported@SWT_Channel That's true. You have to have a combination of used video game stores, websites like eBay, and yard sales. A lot of it does come down to luck. For example, a year ago I was able to find a CIB (map also included) PS3 copy of Red Dead Redemption for $5.

GUNNAR ♫⃠ (@LEATHERF4G) reportedi'm so tired of binder prices and not even the ones on ebay are cheap like what is your issue. you all need to **** yourselves and lower those god damn prices

Fat Dodger Fan (@FatDodgerFan) reported@Kramaramb @HobbyHero_Bros It is definitely more challenging to move them on OfferUp or FB marketplace and vendors will refuse them at card shows. But I’ve had absolutely no issues consigning CGC slabs on eBay and typically get a 95% or higher payout on the sale price. It’s not too difficult to send in.

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@foxenflask @heydomoshi It's especially a bummer in this category because authentication over $500 is mandatory & free - but if it's $200-$499.99 eBay provides an option to add authentication for a $40 fee. If this item had been priced below $500 on the listing, you would have been given that option to pay extra if you wanted it authenticated. But because of the way eBay has programed the pricing threshold/eligibility logic & purchase flow, you didn't get that offer. It would be simple enough to program something that says if the final price at checkout will drop the transaction out of the free/mandatory threshold, alert the buyer & offer the upsell/add on option. eBay doesn't do either, making it both a terrible buyer experience & a missed additional revenue opportunity. It's little things like this that represent some of the biggest opportunities for Ryan, imo - low hanging fruit, easy to solve, current management just doesn't care/have the proper incentives to get it done.

Item Select (@ItemSelect_) reported@MichaelBarden8 @eBay I'm getting the exact same issue at the moment. Have tried, resizing, re-formatting and restarting to no avail :(

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reported@ValueAddedRS Criminal negligence from a fiduciary perspective. Whatnot’s valuation is almost 50% of eBay’s market cap. eBay had the opportunity and the infrastructure to be the leader in this market. Instead Jamie loves hiring consultants, using private jets to fly to movie festivals and selling every single share that the company awards him outside of his ten figure salary. This guy needs to step down yesterday.

Chimp Out (@Chimpnouts) reportedI will not delete this time, that means as per the flawed system i do not have access to my .@XMoney account, that means i can't check for fraud, i can't verify 2 deposits from an ebay account i just added, i can't lock my virtual card etc.. etc.. This is a flaw in the system that i've exposed several times now. I realize it's my choice to delete or not delete. I already appealed this, i did the last time too. I said the last time i was going to close the xmoney if i had to delete it to get access. I lied, i didn't. But, i will this time if i have to. I say that meaning, if i have to delete before the appeal is seen, meaning more than 48 hours. It's a flawed system that xmoney is not accessible when your account is locked out, because you are being held by the ***** and x's terrible review system. This profile image is NOT a violation, and x knows it, but getting someone to fix it, it's another story. .@Chimpnnout

værze (@varzecs) reported@metacolt1 @CardPurchaser Ebay barely protect sellers at all. You can just say it doesnt work, is broken with minimal evidence and they will side with you instantly, worse if you used paypal.

The sXe Stallion, CM Pony (@CMP0NY) reported@LeeandLie I was looking forward to buying your figure off of eBay or some other bidding site since I missed the deadline of pre-ordering it. After hearing and reading everything, you're not to be blamed for this nor did you let your fans down. Hoping the best for you when things gets straightened.

The Silver Ram (@TheSilverRam) reported@Seabee133Bravo Yeah, that’s an obvious AF scam. And an example of one where if you report it to eBay, they’re too dull to pull the listing down ahead of time. All the AI in the world can’t fix stupid.
-
Charles Davis (@ARealStoner) reported@timburchett I should be able to put that up for sale on EBAY for about 5 miillion, 10 million if you ride it down lookout mountain.

The Silver Ram (@TheSilverRam) reported@d0tslash @eBay Unbelievable actually. These ******* idiots need to all go down.

Bad Leroy Brown (@Levonaxper) reportedGaming is dead at major retailers because they simply can’t compete with online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay when it comes to pricing. I see it myself. Over the past few years, I haven’t bought a single game from MediaMarkt in Germany or back when it existed, GameStop, because their prices were often just as surreal as the prices on the PlayStation Store. Instead, I bought my games from Amazon, eBay and other online retailers. I saw it again recently: Returnal for €79.99 at MediaMarkt. I thought wtf??I went online and found a used copy for €16.99. I didn’t have to think twice. But that’s exactly the choice consumers are going to lose. People shouldn’t care about how profitable their favorite corporation can be or whether a business model is convenient for the company. They should care about having more choices, more competition and more ways to buy the games they want instead of becoming completely dependent on the pricing of a single company. And as for the supposedly unsustainable development costs - the industry has been making enormous amounts of money from games for more than 50 years. They created this monster themselves by constantly increasing budgets, marketing expenses, executive compensation, shareholder expectations and profit targets. Now they’re acting like consumers are the problem because the industry can’t sustain the model it created? Maybe the solution isn’t taking away consumer choice. Maybe it’s time for the industry to stop spending like there’s no tomorrow. #SavePhysicalMedia #NoDiscNoBuy

Ai Genesis (@AiGenesisdotfun) reportedWe want 20 eBay sellers to beta the store import. The deal: port your store free (up to 500 listings, minutes, no credentials), keep 92% per sale on your new marketplace — and when something’s rough, you tell us and we fix it fast. You get an owner’s stake in a new platform. We get sellers who make it better. DM to claim a spot. Ai for Everyone. 🧬 @CardPurchaser #buildinpublic

Zely (@0xZely) reportedElon Musk had already made $200 million and was burning through it to keep three companies alive. He explained exactly how in a 45-minute closed-door talk at Stanford in 2003. The recording is on YouTube. Almost no founder has watched it in a decade. Today Musk is worth roughly $400 billion. That is a 2,000x personal net worth increase in twenty-two years. The talk in this video is Musk explaining, from age 32, exactly how he intended to survive the next few years long enough to make it happen. At the time he had three companies. Zip2 had already been sold to Compaq for $307 million. PayPal had just been sold to eBay for $1.5 billion. SpaceX was one year old and burning cash. He was worth roughly $200 million and had just committed the majority of it to keeping SpaceX alive. The 2003 Stanford Entrepreneurship Corner recording is 45 minutes. Musk covers his framework in four parts. Find direction. Do not build what you think other people want. Build what you would use yourself. Everything else is a market research problem, and market research is almost never how new markets are found. Control costs. Do the physics. Every SpaceX component was priced against the raw material cost of its inputs. If the ratio was more than three, he built it in-house instead of buying it. Stay alive. In a war of attrition the last money left in the account wins. When PayPal was near zero he stopped taking a salary, refused strategic investors who wanted control, and cut every discretionary line item to zero. Break down problems with first principles. Do not reason by analogy. Do not defer to what an industry currently believes. Rebuild the problem from the physical constraints and see what falls out. "When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor." That is Musk in a 2013 interview repeating a line he first used in the Stanford talk ten years earlier. It has been quoted in almost every founder biography since. Every top-selling startup book of the last two decades borrows from this framework. The recording is free. The books are not. Almost every founder on X quotes Musk while running their company on the opposite of what he taught in this room. The talk is free. The four rules fit on a napkin. The willingness to actually do the physics on a business you are running instead of another pitch deck is a much rarer commodity than the framework itself.

Mike the Good Life (@mikelivinwell) reportedLife hack #2 to save money: Learn basic home repair. Most house appliances and units are simple things. Just a few parts. You can ask Chat for help with an issue you have. What I have seen is that parts become obsolete fast for appliances, as well as HVAC units. This is why your repair guy will opt to replace your used units instead of repairing them. But you can find whatever part you need, used, on Ebay. And very cheap. I replaced washer transmissions with used units. The main board in my HVAC unit. Etc. That board hasn't been available new for years now. If I had called an HVAC guy, the repair would have been a new HVAC unit. $5000 or more instead of the $90 I spent on that board. Start with the simple stuff. Water heater not turning on? Maybe it's just the igniter, a $15 part. Over the long run this saves you a lot of money. Invest that money. This helped me to retire early.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedA buyer walks in and you sell 30% under market — because the sticker is from last quarter. Built Pricepherd to fix it. It scans sold comps on eBay, Depop, Poshmark, Mercari 24/7 and auto-reprices inventory to live demand. Weekly margin reports. Category-shift alerts.

Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reportedThe biggest criticism of my eBay institutional ownership analysis in my $GME is that I double counted, and therefore the thesis is invalidated. Okay. Remove the duplicate. It's still over 90%. 90%+ institutional ownership in a company being actively bid on at a 20% premium. That's the number the "debunkers" don't want to engage with because correcting the error doesn't change the conclusion. If fixing one data point doesn't change the thesis, the critique was never about accuracy. It was about avoidance. AND ASK YOURSELF, WHY DO THEY WANT YOU TO IGNORE THAT NUMBER?
