  Jen McCready | Under The Influence (@JenMcCready) reported 7 minutes ago

  @rohit4verse Consumer demand is down all over the place. My mom has a eBay storefront and has sold antiques/vintage jewelry for over 20 years now on their platform and she told me yesterday that sales are non-existent. People have stopped dropping off dry cleaning (expected with all the layoffs), and restaurants are struggling to keep open.

  @RDKLInc @southscanner @eBay With USPS having both zone & zip code rate variances, there tends to be a wide spread in the estimates eBay displays to sellers when creating the listing. Unfortunately, I don't think there's really much eBay can do about that because there's simply no way to know where the eventual buyer will be located. I suspect that human nature being what it is, sellers often focus more on the lower end of the displayed ranges if they pay much attention at all. Many sellers also likely just go with the default suggested in the listing form & that's where I think eBay could do something to help with this issue. I can see how for a newer or less experienced seller, it wouldn't be obvious to click the 3 dots or add additional services to see other options & see if there's another one that offers a better rate to buyers. This is from the web listing form & it's even less intuitive in the app, imo.

  @Angie_BoPeepers plus it's probably fixable, I get free stuff from dumpsters or FB marketpace all the time and the worst thing I have encountered is a broken switch on a Dewalt chop saw, which was $6 bucks from ebay

  @arentalis It's a harder one to track down now, for sure — it does pop up but on ebay it's just silly prices

  @schmee10 @CardPurchaser @GrandSalamiSC Made me look on eBay for one but that $500 price changed my mind. Maybe when the prices go down. What are these actually limited to # wise?

  @Matt_Rellihan @LastPackMojo I get it. I sold on eBay for years, and its a very nice touch. Of course you want buyers to come back, but people are looking on eBay for cards they want, they arent looking for your store. Returning buyers in the sports card world is rare, especially on eBay. Its more work than what its worth to put the notes in. It happens, sure, but the time you spend doing that isnt worth the number of buyers that will come back. Most buyers just want their card wrapped safely. Even then, they will give you good feedback but not remember your store the next day. Their isnt a way to "favorite" stores on eBay, only to "follow" it. So unless buyers write down and take note of your store name, they dont know which store is yours and will not come back just based on that fact alone. Ive had sellers that I loved and wanted to buy from them again but couldnt find their store the next day because I didnt write it down, and even then, eBay makes it very difficult to search for a store name (yes, I know, its dug way down in the search options). Selling here on Twitter is much more likely to have buyers come back because you can create a personal relationship with them. eBay is by nature not personal, and the note doesnt make a difference. 99 out of 100 buyers wont remember you the next time they are scrolling ebay for their favorite player. They look for teams and players, not your store. You gotta catch their attention other ways. What a personal note DOES do is take a potentially upset buyer and make it difficult for them to leave bad feedback. So maybe it has its place....but unfortunately very rarely will it ever help a buyer find you again.

  @IndexAndForget Paid £6k for my Submariner back in 2020. I could’ve sold it on ebay the next day for £10k. That’s why there are 2 year waiting lists for them. They have come down a bit in value recently though but long term you’ll never lose money on one plus it’s a nice item to pass down in the future with memories attached to it.

  @_sportscardshop @CollectionRbt Some guy earlier this week offered me $4k on an Ohtani card I had up for $5K on eBay. I already had $4500 offers that I turned down. It sold 2 days later for $5K. Nobody should be selling for less than eBay comps with him.

  @Catscollecttcg Not sure if it's a USPS issue, but one of my orders in eBay still says USPS is awaiting item after departing shipping partner facility lol

  Fadi (@shahf82) reported 35 minutes ago

  @VOC_ai Same pattern on eBay. Analyzed defect feedback across 50K listings and most "not as described" cases traced back to the same 4-5 fitment description fields. Fix the template, not individual tickets. On eBay, defects hit search visibility directly, so the cost shows up faster than a star rating drop.

  @eBay what is going on? As a seller I am wondering why it feels like eBay is trying to control us more and more. You are forcing us to send to an authenticator, the recent update was terrible to the point that sales have dropped?Customer service is impossible. What the hell @eBay

  anyone who is selling the aranara pet code for more than $25 needs to fix their prices because that's ridiculous. most are selling them at $15-20. anyone that says to dm for the prices are going to try and upsell you. i found one at $17 on ebay thank gods. (link in replies)

  Thanks a lot, jerk hole! I went looking for this book on eBay and I fell down a rabbit hole where I spent over $50 bucks on Mack Bolan novels.

  Reseller Rowe (@resellerrowe) reported 45 minutes ago

  The good and the bad…today we sold a pair of Hunter Boots to a customer on eBay (good) The problem? We don’t know where they are (bad) The solution…I bought another pair from a different eBay seller and let the customer know we messed up. They will get shipped to me and then forwarded to the customer. It’s not perfect but it shows we care. Tomorrow we are doing a eBay listing inventory to make sure this doesn’t happen again. What would you have done?

  TheCollectorsWard (@CaCardBreaks) reported 46 minutes ago

  @GabeyCardStacks It’s not right. What kills me is how eBay can fix this and they don’t. Also it’s BS that eBay takes full 13% on shipping fees instead of just the 3% processing fee

  @BBallNotebook It's sold out, but it's a Nike Standard Issue crewneck. Best bet would be to hope it pops up on eBay. There are a few on there for other teams, but no OKC ones.

  @angelph0ric fr and glitch is very close with their community i feel like they could easily write something up to ebay to have them take that **** down or make the resellers lower the price

  This ******* scumbag @IamNYSports has to be the dumbest mush for brains mutant in the history of the world, or he's just lying, trolling, and laughing his way to the bank with my $70. He keeps sending me messages on my primary ebay account that he never got any messages from me (since April 5th), but that's because he blocked my primary ebay account on April 5th, so of course he hasn't gotten my messages since then. Ebay customer service has emailed him telling him that, and I created a secondary ebay account so that I could message him from that, and I included screenshots of our message thread from my primary account to show him I sent him multiple messages since April 5th explaining to him that he never got them because he blocked me, and he still replies with what you see in the screenshots below on this post. Nothing, and I mean nothing, absolutely nothing would please me more than confronting this mutant with violence. I could win millions on the lottery, and all my teams could win back to back championships for the next decade, and I could have the hottest Colombian women sucking my **** on piles of money from my millions, and I would still be happier if I could repeatedly punch this braindead or lying trolls face in until my knuckles get ripped down to the bones. It's literally impossible for someone to be this ******* dumb. He has to be doing it on purpose.

  One of the primary ways I paid for my worthless degrees in college was by selling stuff on ebay, and then going down the street to Circuit City and buying the things, then shipping them off. Sometimes you just gotta do things instead of sitting around wishing or worse yet, complaining.

  the problem isn’t a lack of long term projects it’s a culture that punishes short term attempts in every other industry people try, fail, pivot, and try again steam games etsy shops ebay sellers no one questions their morals for it but in crypto? a founder tries to make money fails and suddenly it’s not just a bad product it’s “they’re a bad person” that’s not accountability that’s character assassination i’m not saying you should blindly support everything but if people can’t even try to build, sell, or market without being labeled why would anyone serious stay here? people say the wrong things people make bad trades but turning every mistake into a moral judgment kills more builders than scams ever will this space was built to experiment to repeat to get it wrong and try again not to be perfect on the first try you don’t build strong ecosystems by punishing failure you build them by letting people improve

  @RDKLInc @eBay I don't use mobile, but it might not matter. An error on their end is generated. I had a screen shot, but I can't find it. It was one of those "something went wrong" type notifications.
