  @JustAnOldKiller @10_X_eng They deny me that right by requiring me to surrender all of my personal information, associations, biometric identifying features, privacy, and many other things in order to operate such a business. Give us everything, or shut down. I shut down. There was no other option. If there ever was a clear-cut case of an incredibly dangerous monopoly, intentional or not, Meta created one. Competition is now all but impossible. Options have evaporated. You can't buy lots of things on Ebay and then sell them on Ebay as a business. You can sell something you bought elsewhere, but not every business model is private labeling. There has been a thriving private sales system throughout human history. Now it doesn't exist without giving all of those things up to Meta. Even yard sales have dried up. There is no more elsewhere, unless you serve yourself up to Meta on a silver platter. Local buying and selling was effectively killed off entirely by Marketplace, and the zombies that use it won't stop evangelizing until they start summoning demons trying to convince you it's the correct path. The sick part is, everyone's so hooked on the convenience (that's a ***** word) that they just won't give it up. They won't say no.

  @WaxMetrix @eBay The worst service ever and nothing you can do about it. I’ve had a few big cards with the same issue. It’s awful.

  @BilboBaxter007 @Dwatkin02176591 @LikeToBeBossy When so many sales are lost to the used disc market like glorified rental programs, it will end up more profitable, which is what investors want & what this will deliver. How many times do the same discs get bought and sold back to gamestop or on eBay etc? Each of those buys will now be platform buys & that is a good thing. You want studios to stop being shut down? This is one step toward that.

  @GBNEWS Maybe if charity shops didn’t price their items so high they wouldn’t have to close down. The charities also sell lots on eBay so probably they no longer want to deal with the basic mundane stuff

  Late Stage Capitalist (@latestagecpsm) reported 22 minutes ago

  @VicMelsky @SteveOnSpeed A lot of eBay categories have the same problem: foreign sellers competing directly with U.S. sellers, often with shipping advantages U.S. sellers never had. At one point it could be cheaper to ship a small package from China to New York than from New York to Atlanta. Closing the de minimis loophole helped, but Amazon is a different animal. Amazon doesn’t just allow the foreign seller advantage — it industrialized it. It built the logistics network that moves imported goods into U.S. warehouses and makes them feel domestic to the customer. The problem is that Amazon profits either way. Chinese seller, U.S. seller, imported product, domestic product — Amazon still gets the fee. That’s why the marketplace itself matters. If the dominant marketplace were structured to prioritize U.S.-based small and medium businesses selling both domestic and imported goods, the upside would go to working people here: younger people, displaced older workers, families trying to build side income, local communities.

  @WaxMetrix @eBay As long as you haven't broken the void seal - contact ebay and tell them that you want a refund bc the card was damaged by their authentication team. The first thing they are going to do is go to the seller and ask if they will accept a refund for the item. If the seller declines, which they should, ebay will come back to you and offer you a discounted price. You can negotiate this. If you don't want the card they will have to eat it, if you do you should be able to get a significant amount off. Do not take the fall for their lack of accountability. To have a team of people who can authenticate an item and be experts in what they do but not know how to ship something properly in 2026 is ridiculous. Don't let them off the hook. Don't ever surrender (Churchill voice).

  @ThePokeMD Happened to me Buyer opens case.. @eBay closed it in his favor even though they said it would be open for 10 days. Since eBay closed the case, I got a below standard rating Buyer received cards, left positive feedback. Wrote nice message Ebay won't fix their mistake on my acct

  The funny thing about this is that considering PlayStation will continue to ship physical code in a box (a blatant move to skate by regulators from monopoly claims), this will probably result in the same issue. eBay sellers inflating prices of sealed delisted games.

  Here is a thought about security and mobile apps. Most apps we use are actually fixed web browsers (Ebay, Amazon, Facebook, X, Banking apps etc). These apps require a lot of permissions and have a lot of trackers. If we accessed those via bookmarks on a privacy focused mobile web browser like Brave or DuckDuckGo we would require fewer apps and we would have more control over what data was being shared with those companies. The only down side would be lack of notifications, but I think for many purposes this is a more secure way to use these services.

  @thwacknicklaus I’ve been using a 25 year old Titleist 983k driver I found on eBay and my average carry distances are only roughly 10 yards shorter than all of the new stuff. Been testing them on my Twitch channel. The gt3 compared to the 983k literally gave me (at most) 20 yards more carry on a 1.5+ smash factor perfect pure strike. That’s less than 1 yard per year of “technology” they shove down our throats.

  @PlayStation I’ve bought some well reviewed games for PS5 that turned out to be spectacularly ****. I had the benefit of flogging them on eBay to get most of my money back. This is a terrible move by Sony

  @WallStreetApes As a capitalist I recommend dispensing all the contents of the vending machine and selling them on eBay for cheap. Go back and get more when they refil the machine. Infinite money glitch.

  eBay: here choose a charity to support” . I select one . eBay: sorry your payment methods won’t allow that. I spend 6 hours trying to fix it to no avail… So instead at the end of the month each month I’ll be donating 10% of my eBay sales to @Sigs4Soldiers via Venmo.

  @eBay Ok guys and gals. I get it, you sell on ebay and you dont have issues. Its about the irritation for stuff that should just be easy. If you dont mind it, then great, have fun. Ive got 1450 sales so i am aware of the process, its my opinion that it sucks for what we pay in fees.

  @SWATZ911 @eBay I’m an optimist so I think it’s probably genuine USPS issues. But I’m also a data guy so the data supports increased scamming.

  @YstradHistory It is a problem - you could try a dealer but they have to make money so will give you a fraction of their worth. Then there is ebay, and you can sell on Amazon as well I think - but I imagine they also take a cut.

  @dlamini_sa2411 @Gigiof5momof2 @Oluchisxn I'm starting to think this is a good wife test. If your girl wants a $20,000 ring and a $60,000 wedding, she's not wife material. I got my rings off Amazon. About $100 each for two. I've got some fancy costume jewelry off Ebay that other women have swooned over. I tell them every time that I chose the $20 ring off ebay and a new track saw and remind young women about priorities. Money is finite and none of us are super rich. Put that money in a 401K or use it as a down payment on a car/house.

  @104hutsona @PeteDorr >the bulk of the lifetime sales have already been made Yeah, because people buy cheap used copies on the physical market! That's the whole problem they want to fix! Steam rakes in money and older games still sell copies because the secondhand market doesn't exist on PC for people who want to buy games, so those sales all go to the publisher instead of GameStop or random people on Facebook marketplace or eBay.

  @GeorgeBruno Big fan, honestly. I think I tried meeting someone who didn’t show just once. Most people show up at my house, no worries. I live in a small town, it helps. Fee free transactions are great. It usually means I come down on the price which is sub optimal, but it’s good for the buyer. And if it makes selling the item easier, and I’m still netting a similar amount as eBay (fees), then it really don’t matter. I’ve had only one bad experience with shipping through FB. It sounds like you’re more face to face. Overall, it’s a solid marketplace to help get eyes on your stuff. I’ve been pleased as a seller and according to reviews, I’ve had satisfied customers.
