  @tomereymusic FB marketplace & Ebay! Been sat on 2 SPs for almost 2 years, just kept checking here and there. Got them very cheap as they had no power but they're almost always a quick fix though one was very tough.

  @BloodVariety I swear to you if they ripped a card worth $8k raw and they had car problems, a family, medical emergencies and literally any average problem it would magically appear on eBay lol

  @WartTheWizard @ArtofARCover @AvataroftheSith The purchase didn't go through if eBay still has the money. So not an issue.

  My thoughts on eBay’s dividend program: $EBAY is sitting on $6.7B in gross debt, paying $61M/quarter in interest, and about to drop $1.2B cash on Depop. Yet management just declared another $0.31/share dividend (~$556M annualized), with tomorrow (May 29) as the ex-dividend date and cash going out June 12. Buffett said it best in his 1984 letter: “Unrestricted earnings should be retained only when there is a reasonable prospect that for every dollar retained by the corporation, at least one dollar of market value will be created for owners.” eBay is returning hundreds of millions to shareholders annually while simultaneously carrying nearly $7B in gross debt at $244M in annual interest charges. That capital could be paying down debt, shoring up the balance sheet ahead of a $1.2B acquisition close, or reinvested into a platform that is visibly losing competitive ground. Instead, the company is prioritizing optics over fundamentals. Active buyers grew just 1% YoY. The platform went down for ~48 hours in April after a cyberattack. The board quietly rewrote its own oversight committee charters after settling a federal cyberstalking criminal case. Sellers are now filing class action suits over surprise fee structures. A company with genuine earnings power and a clean balance sheet paying a dividend makes sense. A leveraged platform with stagnating user growth, mounting legal exposure, and a nine-figure acquisition pending doing the same deserves serious scrutiny.

  @rustyshackmin @gmefan1684 @YoDooley Because anyone who invested when he became chairman of the board is down 60+%. Anyone who bought in when RK came back is underwater. Anyone who bought in when they announced ebay is down 20% in 2 weeks. I mean, is everyone losing money a good thing in your eyes or??

  First EBay has AI imaging that creates listing titles. Most don’t change or update after scan. Second EBay has AI descriptions that most add look a photo for condition. Third it’s on you the buyer to pay USPS, UPS, FedEx, or whatever mailing service is used. Those funds don’t go to the seller for your postage. Fourth its you the buyer who should read the description before purchasing. Coming on social media with clear screenshots attacking an eBay seller when it’s obviously your fault for not reading or inspecting an image is crazy. Take your time if it’s your for your PC (private collection) If you’re a flipper you will get burned because you don’t take your time. If you’re a seller try to fix the title & description to best represent the memorabilia. Buyers understand the title has limited space we can’t change that’s on EBay! @CardPurchaser

  @Loserfruit amend the ebay customer code immediately and never use AI again to discriminate. My old boss said to me once, "Reece, You make once mistake, thats alright mate, but you make sure next time you never make the same mistake." fix your platforms immediately.

  @parkerstevenson In 2026, @eBay sellers are still navigating three decades of different user interfaces. It's one of the ugliest, most cobbled together large-scale platforms on the internet. Thousands of services, massive technical debt, organizational debt, and outdated practices baked in. They’ll implement any 'feature' that makes an extra buck. But the real poison is the third-party display ads plastered everywhere that actively send visitors off eBay to other websites and apps. Great for short-term revenue and the stock price. A terrible testament to confidence in their own product.

  @WestCoast_Goodz How do you even find products to sell on eBay outside of the items you have in your house. Thats the issue I’m having how to find products to sell on eBay

  @DiligentDenizen Everyone using Grok and this platform contributes to the high demand of these datacenters. Same goes for Facebook, ChatGPT, Amazon, Uber, EBay, Netflix, Google and the rest. How about addressing the high demand issue first?

  Jason Handyside (@devilhawk21) reported 42 minutes ago

  @mclong34 @CardPurchaser My issue is how @eBay handles the “items not received” rate. If a claim is opened by the buyer and I issue the refund, my seller status should not be impacted if the order was scanned in transit by USPS. Why is my seller status impacted for using the service provided by eBay??

  Well ****. Since I can’t really do much shipping with eBay having problems I might as well clean up and head to the bar. I don’t know what else to do.

  @frozentiljly @eBay What did you get versus what you ordered? I investigate fraudulent orders and other ecommerce package error statistics. There is a DNA to these things, and although you get your money back with a chargeback, and rightfully so; the culprits still get away with it and that =fees

  @HORHEAD_Sales These are only down because of all the fake pairs that are passing. I had got a fake pair from eBay that looked almost identical and resold it on there and still passed. Ended up being a legit pair for $1550 😭

  @ValueAddedRS I sold an item, eBay 'simple delivery' lost it. Buyer needed it urgently so purchased elsewhere. Eventually found, I told him to reject it. eBay refused his refund request as delivered. I had to refund item + carriage+ buyer protection fee. eBay's problem but still got their fee!

  @KennethGrifter @GregIsKitty @ryancohen This too! Nat's in kind of an interesting position in that fakes like that which circumvent eBay authentication present a real brand reputation & trust problem for PSA - and PSA's existing relationship with eBay (hopefully) gives him leverage to press eBay to do more about it.
