A.P.O.C (@AOchiawuto) reported@AirtelNigeria @lydiacreatesng Airtel Nigeria, why is your service so poor? I’ve tried registering on eBay, but the verification code never arrives on my Airtel line. Yet, the same code comes through immediately on MTN. What’s wrong with Airtel? Is Nigeria cursed? Please fix your SMS service!

k- 🏴☠️ (@_goinKuu) reported@eBay i’ve already done this, and ran into “ Technical difficulties “ when using the call me feature. I need an actual agent asap, because this was made in error. I have nothing that violates any policy as i’ve read everything on the Policy page.

marqix ☆ (@fwmarqix) reportedMy librarian Janet was running a book laundering scheme where she checked out books under dead people's names, reported them lost, pocketed the replacement fees, then resold the "lost" books online. Discovered this when my dead grandmother's library card got a overdue notice. "Grandma's been dead for three years." "Oh no, our system must have glitched," Janet said. But the book was real. Someone checked out "The Goldfinch" under her name last week. I checked records. Grandma's card had been active for three years. 47 books checked out. All "lost." All replacement fees paid from a account I'd never seen. Confronted Janet. "You're running a fraud scheme with dead people's library cards." "I'm maintaining circulation metrics for funding purposes." "You're stealing." She showed me the books budget. Cut by 40% over three years. "I'm keeping this library alive. The replacement fees fund new books. The 'lost' books get resold. Money goes back into the system." "Through your pocket." "Some administrative costs are involved, yes." She'd been doing it for five years. 200 dead people's cards. $180,000 in replacement fees. Books resold on eBay for another $90,000. All money went back into library programs. Story time. Teen literacy. Computer access. "You're Robin Hood but make it books?" "I prefer Marian the Librarian but yes." I should've reported it. But the library was thriving. Programs everywhere. New books weekly. Then an auditor noticed the pattern. Investigated. Found everything. Janet was fired. Police got involved. Community rallied. "Janet saved this library." Petition to drop charges: 4,000 signatures. Charges dropped. Janet was rehired with "enhanced oversight." She's not allowed to handle money anymore. But circulation is down 30%. Programs are being cut. Janet started a nonprofit. "Friends of the Library Foundation." Runs fundraisers. All legal now. Raised $200,000 last year. Library is thriving again. I asked if she missed the scheme. "Every day. It was elegant. But this is better. Harder, but better." My grandmother's library card finally got deactivated. Last book checked out under her name: "How to Get Away With Murder." Janet swears it wasn't her. I believe her but I also don't.

TonyGainzzz (@TonyGainzzz) reported@BitbyBitFlips @cleartheshelf Nice Amazon growth! Focus on Amazon more and double down on it. Leave Walmart and eBay as side hustles

Eric the Red / Kelenic Collector (@FatherBreaks) reported@eBay when a seller chooses your ESE option and pays for it, it should come out at that time just like any other service one chooses to ship with. It’s annoying as hell to see my balance go down 2-3 day later and have to track which fee it was for

Blitz (@PeriBlitzV2) reported@Digggon the type of game the MC of a creepypasta would buy off ebay, see charmander get brutually decapitated in it, and then shurg it off thinking it was just a weird glitch

Card Throne (@cardthrone) reportedI run Card Throne with a handful of Grok Bots. Each one owns a job. They don't all sit in one chat answering random questions. Scout does sourcing. Japanese inventory, carts, what to buy next. Grading plays and margins off my actual fees and costs. It never checks out. I still have to say purchase. Build is engineering. It only works on Card Throne Room, our seller tool. Scan a stack of cards, list to eBay, inventory management. When it's real code, it summons a cloud agent with pstack /poteto-mode. Throne runs the storefronts. Brings me the issues that actually have to move that day. Ledger does the books. Payouts, fees, receipts, the monthly P&L. Sentry monitors for any Card Throne Room bugs and pings Build if something needs fixed. Chief sits on top so I'm not pinging six bots to find out whose job a thing is. I still make the final calls.

Gerard Hughes ( @ghhughes.bsky.social ) (@ghhughes) reported@selStreams @austeregrim @RDKLInc You can't buy CPAPs, for example, on eBay. They are class II medical devices and their requires a doctor's prescription. Some people have tried to get around that by selling a CPAP travel bag for $300, which just so happened to have a CPAP in it. But eBay has cracked down on that, too. Not all medical devices require a prescription, though.

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.
-
Lanny Ribes (@DOCBZ17) reportedOk I took my original post down, tried to choose positivity today. But this is absolutely ridiculous. Bought a card on @ebay and got confirmation of my purchase from @PSAcard vault. $325. A few minutes later I received a notification that the card had been relisted. That’s

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

ｃｈｅｄｄａｒ (@cheddar420yolo) reported@IndefiniteLT @VibesMBSE it was before my time but part of CARTER lore is they took a rogue wave shifting home ports from northeast to Bangor. a water column came down the hatch and the ship's computer was right there they had to get the replacement computer from ebay that was the story anyway

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

WesleyTech (@WesleyTech) reportedeBay is the king of terrible customer experiences. 1 example of many: They make you solve a captcha in order to LOG OUT of your account on the web app 🤬

theguru 🀄️ (@AyomideTheGuru) reported@eBay should fix up asap
-
Pokémon Deals, Restock and Alerts (@PokemonRestockr) reported@Pacho9_3 It looks like eBay just took down another seller of the 30th pre orders. Seems only seasoned sellers like footballpete and a few others are actually safe. I think I’ll avoid posting 30th eBay links regardless moving forward until September 16th

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

Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported@eBay @eBay_UK Not really a customer support issue though is it. Just pointing out where yet another change has made things worse.....
-
Eric the Red / Kelenic Collector (@FatherBreaks) reportedI think that every time EBay or another platform has issues they should reduce the fees for the equivalent amount of time.

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 😭

☆ (@LucilleFilm) reported@drivenbyfilms ppl are saying the screener was for an already released film but even then, this could still get him in trouble. there's a reason why ebay listings don't go up until months after release and awards szn.

NVSportsCards (@NVSportsCards) reported@CardsMax If Comc didn’t take 6 months to process or ship, they could have caused real problems for ebay.
-
Dorian Muthig (@dorianmuthig) reported@RDKLInc Yeah… they don’t want to give you the working ones anymore, either. It’s starting to get so bad, even the repairable ones are sorted out first, too. Even on eBay, most “defective, for parts, not working”, are listed after repair attempts only, and they try to scam not disclosing

Florida Sports Card Haven (@flasprtscardhvn) reported@Gbpoker0710 Thanks man.. I sure hope not. Hope just emptying the stomach and going home tomorrow. Shut my ebay down for 2 weeks just in case. 👊
