  @HankBobbyDale @JCSCollects I agree they can be annoying to look at, but my point was only that eBay has many more prominent issues to concern it self with first. This is simply a minor annoyance, no?

  @MmisterNobody Probably not, because it was (still is) a slow and lengthy process which started in the 60's and 70's. Let me tell you all a story about EBAY, which may explain a bit of how I think this happened: eBay's early website (around the late 1990s into the 2000s) featured a prominent bright yellow background on many pages. This color became strongly associated with the brand's fun, energetic identity alongside its multicolored logo (red, blue, yellow, green letters). At one point, the design team decided to modernize things and switched the background from yellow to white in one big update. The reaction was swift and intense: users flooded eBay with complaints, calling the change ugly, a betrayal, or just plain wrong. It felt jarring and alienating to the community that had grown attached to the yellow. The backlash was so strong that eBay quickly reverted everything back to the original yellow to calm the storm. But the team still preferred white for a cleaner, more contemporary look. Soooooo, and here is where my comparison comes in, instead of forcing another abrupt change, they took a smarter approach: They began subtly lightening the yellow background one tiny shade at a time over the course of several months (or even longer, depending on the retelling). These incremental tweaks were so gradual that most users barely noticed the shift happening. Eventually, the background was fully white, and there was little to no outcry. And THIS is exactly how "they" are turning the whole world to **** since the 60's and 70's, imho. Slowly but surely taking away our freedoms and rights, clearly disguised as "for your own safety", slowly but surely dumbing us down with entertainment that clearly pushes a narrative, slowly but surely normalizing broken families structures and tainting school systems with non-essential, anti-religious, anti-family and non-scientific courses to control and break the once strong family nucleus. etc etc And in the end we will eventually all be "eating ze bugs", own nothing, and be happy as they say in Davos.

  @unusual_whales The only ways I can see this GME-eBay deal happening: 1. GameStop loads up on massive new debt (they’ve already lined up $20B financing). 2. GameStop issues a huge amount of new shares — heavily diluting current shareholders and handing significant ownership to eBay holders. 3. eBay has been quietly shopping itself and GameStop is forcing a deal no one else wants. None of these are good outcomes for shareholders on either side. Am I missing a realistic fourth path here?

  @martymauser I partially blame imax for building so much of their brand on constrained supply. Usually its a minor issue but then you have Nolan or Villeneuve drop a movie and suddenly people are selling tickets for 15x markup on ebay

  @silvia6702 @eBay @AskeBay This is terrible. Luckily, after talking to someone on here I was able to get my issue resolved but we shouldn’t have to go on social media to get their attention

  @BadalK99277 No one is saying that macOS isn't "powerful" but the Apple Hardware is WAY overpriced and the software and OS itself are too locked down. Linux is GOAT because it's free and it can run on a $50 ebay find laptop.

  @Brookenbells I dunno cause I shouldve checked if it couldve been refunded or not they might just say its an ebay problem

  Randy Treibel (@RandyTreibel) reported 17 minutes ago

  According to @grok, this card is not numbered. Meaning, there’s no evidence he didn’t wipe the floor or have multiple copies purchased. It’s extremely common for a flipper to buy all variants and reset the comp. Everyone in that thread in favor of this witch hunt is toxic and all deserve to be blocked and even temporarily suspended from @eBay The fact that he said it was delivered when it was not is mildly problematic, but could be true. It’s a seller skill issue to refund here.

  @BenCham63173153 @FeistSportsCard Correct, anyone paying more in fees is Below Standard or promoting their listing too much. As usual eBay is not the problem, its the ignorance of its users.

  @CommanderFemboi I got the same problem with my massive Dark Angels army, and I can't be bothered breaking it up and selling it all bit by bit on eBay.

  @OlderMedic39 @AustinTobitt @TheRoaringKitty You bought shares at $30 and calls. Again, it went to $80. Since then, turned into a holding company - posted the most profitable quarter ever by a landslide and is trying to buy eBay. The SP is manipulated down but he's doing everything he can to stop that from happening.

  @jrtradez777 @bankboy24 Nope...I still don't see the issues? Questions like this come with running your own buisness and an eBay shop is no different

  Conor Myles (@SnipeMyles) reported 26 minutes ago

  @trigeminy_henry And sadly I work the department that takes calls or chats on this very subject Monday through Friday. It’s a shame and happens frequently, but because our metrics 90% of sales go through without issue eBay just deems it as the price of doing business. They’ll terminate accounts with valid proof within the site, though. Might be a case here at least. We’ll find out!

  @dpreciousson @dinho_1545 Order the part on eBay and fix it. YouTube video to rescue except it is electric and involves wiring/cabling.

  The 617 Hub (@The617Hub) reported 30 minutes ago

  @BosCardHunter @BourbonInvestm2 Two ways to handle this in theory - the way eBay does it now or total sales and then total reviews (real) and let ppl deduct no issues. The automated feedback is usually hidden to users so it’s effectively total sales. I don’t have issue with it. People who wanna leave neutral or negative will do so usually.

  Bourbon Invesments 2 (@BourbonInvestm2) reported 32 minutes ago

  This was well known and even pushed out by Ebay last year. After 7 days automatic feedback occurs that says "Order completed successfully Tracked and on time". -Shipping must be validated and shipped it on time -Buyer hasn't left any feedback yet -No issues, refunds or any other requests have been made Buyer can leave feedback at anytime within 60 days that will override any automatic feedback left. Unsure why this is being called a "***** little secret"

  @SakurasCardShop It's crazy, because on eBay, a great chunk of Japanese boxes listed are from Chinese sellers lol They are definitely causing a massive issue for Japanese boxes.

  @SnowWolfy7 @Beno_ldn No, I'm saying the only way to fix a national financial deficit is sky high taxes, of *some* sort. Rishi Sunak could have and twice chose not to, introduce a digital tax for ecommerce for the likes of Amazon/Fb/Ebay. Labour can't magic up many ways to vanish the debt

  @eBay Can you please explain why users can no longer send any messages over the app ? It only works on a browser or laptop/pc.. and it is a widespread problem because I'm finding a lot of people with this issue online . Started 3 days ago.. what are you doing to fix it right now?

  I see people are still make terrible Bowman Baseball listing decisions on eBay. Just take a few minutes to look on eBay sold listings before you list your numbered card at BIN for 80% less than the other sellers FFS.

  Corner Card Collector (@CCCollectorTCG) reported 56 minutes ago

  @FeistSportsCard I do because I sell mostly low end cards anything over $20. I do ground advantage. And I rarely have an issue. I think I’ve had two items not received this past week. Both of them were from orders placed over the Memorial Day weekend one scanned in last night after they had sent the INR honestly it works. Is it slow yes but it does work and hopefully with eBay changing how the label looks it will decrease the amount of items not getting scanned.

  @bethanyjbabcock @Apple There's people on ebay who fix these up and resell them. They replace the battery, put a ssd in place of the spinning hard drive, replace the screens & reprogram them so they are plug & play to you. My son rocks a last-generation (2019) ipod touch, which is like a phone, but we use screentime to restrict what's on there. Wifi only, facetime and texting works, but we remove Siri, Safari and the App Store. Great way to teach responsibility with a device without the ability to doomscroll. You can still download songs & audiobooks to it without wifi, just need itunes desktop and 5 minutes of time.
