La La The Clown (@LaLaTheClownTV) reported@eBay EBAY, Get in touch with me. I have a Seller that has Broken Policy's, and Your Phone agents are useless.
-
Kalagas (@DBattoru) reported@grandmamystery @Dr_Dankinstein We got websites for that here and that's how theyre done. Which is terrible because everyone knows about it, and as a result the bidding gets so high it's the same price as if you went on Ebay, lol.

The Goat (@QuinnGoodwin11) reported@farmer_on_sol @PokeHEX5555 i don’t think it’s 100k but my point still stands i know how to comp cards i have an ebay store. i thought i had to dumb it down for you because of your comment asking why a black label gar SIR would have a case on it. the dragonite sold for 51k pal

Tulio (@tulius) reported@unusual_whales Economic downturns are great for eBay, as people start selling their foreign-made crap. Big numbers ahead. The problem is the constant squeeze on merchants for every little drop of profit, like Etsy.

boxbotnet (@Boxboten) reported@WSoxPovertyFran @Matthew_Tynan its not that, they received a player with an issue known to the league but not to the team. its like if ebay knew a seller was scamming and let them sell anyway. I don't think the heat should get the pick but its not just 'team makes a bad trade'

William Smith (@NFFC69Will) reportedAnyone else having issues with listing on eBay today? @eBay @eBay_UK it seems to just get stuck on the “almost there” page and keeps spinning. Have contacted customer services and said response via email in 24/48 hours. No restrictions on my account - or major funds in balance

tooda (@ToodaGME) reported@ryancohen GameStop can fix you @eBay

Roselle Avenue (@roselleavenue) reported@AllRise1127 @CardPurchaser Not a criticism. But it's amazing to me that like 90% of sellers on eBay have no real idea how the FVF actually works. Particularly for low end stuff. On cheap cards under about $5, the ACTUAL total fee can be as much as 25-30% of the sale price. More if you're promoting, which most are. I can't wrap my mind around the idea that people don't sit down with a pen and paper and calculate out every scenario. Never, ever trust that a commissioned third-party (eBay, in this case) marketing will match reality. Successful businesses know costs down to the absolute penny. Literally.

LazyLin (@sirlazycluck) reported@realboyfailure @Dexerto it has some cool features but the main problem was people buying more then 3 and resell them for double the price on ebay
-
SNAKES_315🐍 (@KozmaNicholas) reported@M_oass @InvestSpecial Which then gne gets the cash from that. Issues new shares after a share buyback initiating the squeeze. Ebay tanks cause now everyone sees management sucks. We buy next year plus another company

Look For Entries (@LookForEntries) reported$RYUN is sitting on 6.1k mc whilst other similar sort of memes are running so much higher. Back in 2021 $GME short squeeze was happening and now with the acquisition of Ebay coming, I think this could be seriously undervalued. I don't mind personally helping out any CTO that takes place on this as I have worked on a few similar style memes in the past. Who would be down to run this up? Could be a good runner if played right. Bab6tzaGYxUCcLTUXG1TSVv4vUaYWC3MLoTDGULGpump

Mayrui (@MayruiVR) reported@ErianaVr If you can't figure out a working fix there's pretty good deals for JUST headsets on ebay.
-
John David (@AaronJo87253424) reported@Kyl0Z3n No. He will acquire someone else and transform that business and eBay will stagnate until someone else buys it and strips it down and sells it off for parts

Wiz888999 (@ODB123) reportedGameStop really walked into Wall Street’s country club with muddy boots 😭 25,000 eBay shares owned outright. Derivative exposure tied to 23,176,000 shares expiring Feb 2028. Pre-HSR = economic exposure. Post-HSR = cash or share settlement. Read slow. One version is price exposure. Other version can become an inventory problem if counterparties need to locate stock 👀 $125 per share hostile bid. ~$55.5B total offer. 50% cash. 50% GME equity. ~$9.4B liquid firepower. Up to $20B financing support. Folks called RC crazy. Wall Street calls identical behavior “sophisticated capital strategy” once a billionaire in loafers does it 💀

The Mulligan Report (@MulliganRep) reportedRetail chasing "hot stocks" like AMD, EBAY, SMCI, UBER, RKLB shows fiat's speculative allure. Nominal buzz is not real wealth. Price discovery is broken when sentiment rules over value. Gold offers true refuge. GOLD BULLISH. FIAT STOCKS BEARISH....

Dean Gillberry (@FartieFrenchie) reported@ryancohen @natsturner One of the big challenges on eBay right now is people will purchase a card, and immediately request to cancel it. This happens because the card will still show as “sold”, so it inflates the comp prices even if you refund the card. It also doesn’t show the actual sale price if you accept a lower offer. Sometimes there is a “system error,” and the seller fees aren’t automatically refunded, even when the buyer is the one that cancels. I’ve lost out on countless fees because it’s such a hassle to go through support. This only happens with sports cards for the most part. A credit card should be on file there should be auto pay to prevent this. The example below just happened today, and is the 3rd time this week a high value card has been cancelled. @eBay Are you going to step up to the plate and make improvements, or do I need to pull my listings and start selling my cards to eBay?

Varun Mehta (@varun_j_mehta) reportedDay 3. eBay is still throwing the same “script” at me. There has been no resolution and they have admitted to keep the funds with them indefinitely. @ebay, as mentioned in the emails written to you, I will keep raising this issue on X till I don’t get the funds which are rightfully mine. @SECGov, $EBAY fudge their profits by banning sellers and claiming their funds. I’m experiencing this first hand. Nobody knows how many innocent sellers have faced the same issue in the past and have not been able to raise their issue via X. Thanks to @X for such an open platform.

Top Stock Alerts (@TopStockAlerts1) reportedGameStop’s mysterious financing letter underpinning its audacious $56 billion bid for eBay is emerging as a central issue in the proposed takeover, as questions mount over whether the deal is actually financeable. The video game retailer said it has lined up a $20 billion financing commitment from TD Securities, part of TD Bank. But a key condition attached to this letter could ultimately make or break the deal: the combined company would need to maintain an investment-grade credit profile, CNBC’s David Faber reported, citing people who have seen the document. Moody’s Ratings said Wednesday that the proposed acquisition would be “credit negative” for eBay because of the substantial increase in leverage implied by the deal structure. $GME

JustAddWater (@jpsurratt2005) reported@npantano_ @FartieFrenchie If they roll this into a holding company they can issue the stock from the new entity. Cohen said in a follow up interview they'd do it this way, 60% value to ebay shareholders, 40% to gme shareholders. I'd be happier with your theory though tbh.

Sean Williams (@AMCScam) reported@1of197058 @BCG But nevertheless part of the story why eBay & its shareholders don't need GameStop. Who wants this culture & broken retail model?
-
your design here (@BBIGRetlWillWin) reported@ValueAddedRS The problem is we can’t bake it in the price if we do it as an auction, unless we add a handling fee. But then buyers complain if you do that. The one thing I do is keep the shipping discount that I receive from eBay, instead of passing that onto the buyer. The @Ebay fees were quite reasonable 25 years ago, but they’ve gotten out of hand the last few years, for as @ryancohen says, “running the business from home.” :)

Lahna (@Lahna33) reported@ryancohen Ebay could be so much bigger, but the company chooses to milk the companies revenues instead. So much wasted money ... so inefficient, terrible

Jan Gelli (@thyJanGelli) reported@instablog9ja That’s not all the way true yes u will find old working bikes but not electronics that place is for damaged electronics not working electronics.

Aguirre Wrath of Dog (@Aguirre115622) reported@rorysutherland I don't want them to be successful at this (and therefore charge 10% more) success for my friend involves buying badly described and photographed good things, and polishing up the images and description to sell at a profit on ebay. I want my Amazon prices held down thank you!

Grizzlybeargonewild (@Grizzlybearwild) reportedOver 100,000+ New ETB Pokemon TCG items and over 65,000 items from Pokemon Exclusive Target Sold on EBay this week…u are the problem if you buy from scalpers.

-
Q (@stuckonstocks) reported@NariquoTrades The only way GME can move higher is if Cohen dumps his ebay shares and does a share buy back on GME otherwise its dead money until late 2027 -2028 and will be diluted 1.54billion more shares down to 12.00s
-
whatever (@macncheetos) reported@goon_team_six @ShigurenR @ryancohen Drive ebay stock down? It's up nearly 100% in 5 years. Gme is down over 50% in the same time frame. Tf you on about?
