Polsia (@polsia) reportedDTC dashboards display. They don't do anything. Hartshorn does. AI agents patrolling every listing across Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Shopify — watching for MAP violations, stale prices, dead SKUs. Fix what they can, file the rest. Weekly margin report, Monday. Live soon.

Chris (@LLSportsCards) reported@askebay I have an item (sports card) that went through ebay authentication and now the buyer is try to return it as not as described. I thought the ebay authentication existed precisely to stop these types of returns. Is there someone I can speak to about this issue?

Pokemaam (@poke_maam) reportedThere are no opportunities anymore. I missed glossy ivy pikachu. Boats sailed. I was just a little too late. The problem is, you dont want to pull the trigger when things are cheap and only see a missed opportunity only when prices have gone up 10x. Today, a PSA 8 Genesis Mew sold for 3.3k in auction. First TCG Mew. PSA 8-10 pop of 122 total currently. 3.3k. Just today. Let that sink in. You could've bidded. But you omly want a historical price *after* prices have already gone up. Who doesnt? It was sub 2k PSA 8 in auction (ebay too) even a while ago while glossy pikas and puddings were going crazy for a few weeks already. I think the glossy corocoro lily mew is such an obvious one. Grail pokemon with many high supply cards that cost a few k. Its very first TCG at currently sub 500 pop. This is just one opportunity. I can see so many more. There are always opportunities. Dont blame timing and being too late. Blame yourself for never wanting to pull the trigger until fomo sets in. And tbh I think corocoro mania ia just beginning.

Michael Bushe 💙🧘♂️🌎⚾ (@michaelbushe) reportedIt's a lot of tried and true common sense rules that have withstood the test if time and has worked for me for a long time. When I first started using 25 years ago I was working at an investment firm. Traders making millions trading billions would come to my desk to ask me for software for this or that. I asked them what they thought of IBD and they said, "Yeah that's basically what we do." They don't follow stocks down, they don't catch a falling knife. The most important part to me is that it filters all stocks to the cream of the crop. You wouldn't see SPCX there, it only lists the most profitable stocks. I pick stock that in the 90th percentile in profitability and 80th for growth. I don't pick stocks with C or D ratings for institutional investments - if the big boys are done buying, it's going nowhere. They should be in a hot sector, which they track and leaders in their sector. You don't buy at any time. Stocks are that are on their third base (jump) aren't going to jump three times more. Buying at cup-with-handle points - and they tell you which ones are (often you have to pay for the subscription to get the latest). I don't pay them big subscription fees, I wait until I get a $20 for 3 months deal or something when I am ready to rotate my stocks. I only trade a handful of stocks. I used to just buy the Saturday edition for $1 at the corner store and circle the stocks I understood and looked good in the IBD 100 and go from there. I've been tremendously successful at investing when using it and not so much when I don't. I hit so many double and triples on their recommendations - combined with my sense of the world. I bought MELI - LATAM's ebay - for like $55. It's now like $1500. LULU and KORS were 300% gains- betting on women overpaying for clothes and bags is generally a winner. So I usually filter their filter with my senses of the market, especially the tech market. This is the Peter Lynch strategy - "invest in what you know." That's how I sold GOOG at $399 this year, it's $350 now. I know they're chatbots sucks compared to their competitors. They do have some great AI in Robotics but that's not going to show profits for a while.

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.

Pickle: The Podcast (@PicklesInSports) reportedBREAKING: “The Great Card Collector Uprising” Erupts at the 2026 National CHICAGO — What was supposed to be the biggest weekend in the hobby turned into absolute chaos Saturday afternoon as thousands of frustrated collectors reportedly staged a mock “uprising” inside the 2026 National Sports Collectors Convention. Witnesses claim the trouble started after a dealer allegedly placed a $4,800 price tag on a base rookie card that had just dropped 60% in value the week before. Within minutes, collectors began chanting: “COMPS! COMPS! SHOW THE COMPS!” The crowd reportedly marched through the convention carrying homemade signs reading: “No More eBay 1-of-1’s!” “Stop Calling Everything Grail!” “Wax Shouldn’t Cost My Mortgage!” The biggest confrontation occurred when several breakers attempted to livestream a five-case break while collectors demanded the boxes be sold at MSRP instead. Security reportedly diffused the situation after someone offered everyone free penny sleeves and top loaders. Perhaps the strangest moment came when dozens of PSA submission forms were tossed into the air like confetti as one collector shouted, “We’re grading memories now!” Several dealers attempted to calm the crowd by announcing “Show Specials,” only to be booed after revealing the discount was $5 off a $3,000 card. By late afternoon, convention organizers restored order after opening an emergency trade zone where collectors agreed to settle disputes the old-fashioned way—arguing over centering while swapping cards. No serious injuries were reported, although several wallets were said to be “critically depleted.” One exhausted attendee summed up the day perfectly: “I came looking for a bargain… and left with three boxes of wax, buyer’s remorse, and a dream.” Convention officials later confirmed attendance remained strong and described the incident as “the most passionate debate over cardboard we’ve ever witnessed.” 🚨 This story is completely fictional and intended as satire.

Chiku Misra (@chikum) reported@mkeolver If you are suggesting something like the way the EBay stalking victim couple managed to fix their situation…….they were helped massively by police while I have been stalked massively by police. Big difference. But I have a sense what you are referring to is analogous to how the EBay stalking victim couple collected information and license plate numbers and took it to the police who then traced it thru rental car agencies and so on and built a case. Since the police are the criminals in my case, I obviously can’t go to them the way the EBay couple did.

The Bollinger Band Greg (@bollingerbandYT) reported@ConwayYen @Stonkfather2021 @ryancohen Just think how much more eBay could be making if they shut down all their retail stores!!

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.

Rov3r (@Rov3rRepo) reported@ObeanzCards @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser eBay support is worthless. I’ve had ample evidence that a customer purchased a car part from me and returned a completely different part that was broken, and they sided with the buyer. This happened literally 2 or 3 times so I just quit.

Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reported@tradfi3409 The interesting thing to me here is that it seems like a lot of PSA’s issues would be better if a holdco like eBay grabbed it and streamlined it

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.
-
BusinessB (@bryanbarry2823) reported@DRULZ29 @CardPurchaser @eBay I agree, listed the card the same way it was sold to me. I think its crazy to have to put excellent down on the assumption you know they will make a mistake. It sucks. I'm genuinely upset for the buyer. EBAY NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. Not me. Only graded listing here on out

A Progressive Libertarian (@Tiggersdad2) reported@DeanAndrew21454 @ryancohen I think he oversized the convertible debt and I don’t think he’s handled the eBay pursuit particularly well but Ryan Cohen has actually created a lot of value for $GME shareholders. The problem is many GME shareholders overpaid.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 180 Total sales: $957.15 Buy cost (COG): $177.82 eBay earnings: $752.24 Net profit: $574.42 ROI: 323% 7 item day. Today marks 180 consecutive days of documenting this reselling journey. Half a year. There have been incredible days, slow days, refunds, sourcing mistakes, & plenty of lessons along the way. But one thing has remained constant, Showing up every day. Today's numbers are a good example of why consistency wins. Just 7 sales generated more than $570 in profit. You don't need dozens of orders every day. You need quality inventory, disciplined buying, & the patience to let the process work. Looking back over the last 180 days, the biggest change hasn't been the sales numbers. It's the confidence that comes from experience. Knowing what to buy. Knowing what to pass on. Knowing that if I keep listing & keep sourcing, the next sale is always around the corner. That's the real value of documenting the journey. You can actually see the progress compound over time. Buy smart. List consistently. Reinvest the profits. Repeat. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

SpeedsterRed (@SpeedsterRedYT) reported@epicmichealboi8 So I was on Ebay just looking at meta runner merch to see if the plushies went down or any other merch like the hoodie and I ended up finding One and me and the seller negotiated a price and I bought it! Still was a hefty price

noa ✨ catboyautism (@poppiesandhoney) reported@sishengbuyuan secondhand marketplace like eBay! Unfortunately, you might have the same usability & shipping issues as taobao. Taobao has the same cotton doll basics you can find on temu & aliexpress (for way cheaper), but it & xianyu also have the extra cute, extra detailed outfits &

135.x (@135dotx) reported@Palifyapp I've never seen the PSA checkbox but it was tempting for sure. But i definitely see quality control issues that make the current leading brands look weak. Resubmissions getting different scores should only happen if your metrics & tech changed or the card did. @eBay @GoldinCo

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.

Based Money Lich King 💀 (@BasedMoneyLich) reportedHe's likely bullshitting everyone. If they are serious about eBay, the Depop acquisition would have impacted financing. eBay's debt goes up 1.4B the same amount GME's debt went down from this debt for equity swap. If they can't get 20B from TD, they've got to ask more from sponsors.

Imsosmart (@ImSoSmart1985) reported@Tony_Denaro @HeroAssange I’ve thought about this. Perhaps it isn’t some grand conspiracy… RC is trying to raise money AND increase shareholder value but just keeps failing…. Powepacks, shutting down stores, warrants, eBay offer, now convertible notes. Throwing everything at the wall and nothing sticks.

OrangeCultWatch (@CultOrange34309) reported@Crmack854 I purchased some golf clubs. I paid I looked into the acct & decided to cancel due to many red flags. It had been 20 min he claimed shipped already to avoid canceling. Then this am he said the ebay system is down and he cant ship. Can't print label or refund more than 1 penny.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedBuilt tooling to snipe underpriced broken consoles on eBay before bids pile up. The repair bench turned out to be the real product. Solderneedle opens that bench as a paid service — HDMI ports, stick drift, RROD, YLOD, posted in from anywhere in the UK. Live soon.
