  @KRYPTOCEAN_ @ryancohen Shareholders received 3 billion in fiscal year 2025 at eBay. Gamestop shareholders received zero dollars in fiscal year 2025. You see the problem with that?

  @Tacko77 @JonoCC I don't think they are buying them off ebay, lots of work has been undertaken both by industry and on Patrick Blackett to resolve these issues.

  When Pierre Omidyar launched eBay in September 1995, he faced what economists call the fundamental problem of exchange: how do strangers trust each other enough to trade? The government's answer had always been more regulations, more enforcement agencies, more bureaucrats with badges. Omidyar tried something radical instead. He built a simple feedback system where buyers and sellers rated each other after every transaction. By 1997, eBay was processing over 800,000 auctions quarterly with a fraud rate below 0.01% (while traditional mail-order fraud ran closer to 2-3%). No government oversight. No regulatory compliance officers. Just buyers and sellers policing themselves through voluntary reputation scores that actually meant something to their future business. The system evolved organically as users found creative ways to signal trustworthiness and spot bad actors. Power sellers emerged with 99.8% positive feedback ratings that took years to build but could vanish overnight with shoddy service. Compare that to your average DMV employee, who can treat you like garbage for decades with zero career consequences because civil service protections make them basically unfireable. Today's gig economy runs on the same principle eBay proved in the '90s. Uber drivers maintain 4.7-star averages not because transportation regulators threaten them, but because their next ride depends on it. Amazon sellers obsess over customer reviews while government postal services lose your packages and shrug. When your reputation follows you everywhere and customers can instantly switch to competitors, you don't need bureaucrats breathing down your neck to deliver quality service.

  @FigBonner @eBay @ryancohen Turn off international buyers. Simple fix

  If @gameinformer really has to rise the price on me, the least they can do is go up to 12 issues a year. Come on, it's already way too expensive. I only pay because if I rely on eBay, someone will demand even more money. But you really don't need covers that glossy.

  I'm gonna stop using step down converters, loud buzzing is annoying and I feel like it's going to burn my house down. I've just ordered a specialised UK plug for my Famicom from eBay.

  @WeriBomb Cheap cotton. I've had the same J Crew T shirts for around a decade with zero issues. Bought a suspiciously cheap Motor head shirt on Ebay and it started tk develop these holes in less than 6 months.

  @CardPurchaser I have a Ebay buyer who messaged me over 3 months after I made a sale, saying he did not receive his card. Since its past 30 days, I can't even issue the refund or even check the tracking anymore. Is there anything you think I should do?

  @QayyumSahimi @quantum1nvestor It’s authorization up to that amount. Does not mean GameStop will issue any new shares. What I said makes way more sense than GameStop buying eBay like the TV says. It’s not manipulation, it’s chess. Welcome to the real world. Ryan and GameStop is up against Wall Street (swamp)

  i had trouble with ebay this week. they were all useless, but the mexicans i'd talk to would actually stay on the line with me and do their best to figure it out slip in standards – i shouldnt be content with entire departments that are incompetent – but credit where it's due

  @wealthrewired8 I would borrow £50. Buy five broken mobile phones on ebay and make 3 working ones, sell those on ebay plus the leftovers for parts. Pay back the £50, rinse repeat and keep going. How I started out aged 12 in business and it would still work today.

  @Black_Glass @PhantomBlack699 @eBay You make a good point. Investors may shift money quickly from assets they own to SpaceX. Investors may even move assets from non participating brokers to those who are participating. Could the IPO cause smaller broker collateral problems?

  @RichardC74991 @CARL0STHEGAMER @LewisJFC If you're patient you can get some good deals, especially if you buy bundles. Usual eBay average range from £10-20 though with some of the earlier issues being more expensive.

  @DoDataThings @unusual_whales RC can't fund it PERIOD. Printing worthless new shares and expecting eBay will accept them as payment is a fantasy. I seriously doubt that's what RC has in mind. If it's that easy, why not just issue a trillion new shares? The book value of GameStop ex cash is still $6B.

  Gotta love spending an arm and a leg to get my card graded, getting a 10, putting it up on EBay and then basically being at the mercy of the dude who bought it through PSA and if he feels like paying for the card he bid on or not, Meanwhile the market continues to go down. **** this. There should be more seller protection, to give the buyer 7 days to pull out of a deal is insane.

• 
  JAKE OLIVER ELLENBOGEN (@JKBOGEN) reported 42 minutes ago

  @EduMock Then they take an enormous cut on selling it through them on EBay and don’t even protect your sale. People can just buy it and never pay for it leaving you to have to relist it when the market for the card has gone down (currently happening to me with my Treekachu)

  @QayyumSahimi @quantum1nvestor I’m not a ryan sycophant. I think the eBay situation of a big ruse, bluff, fake out. It’s about misdirection. He making wallstreet who is deep short GME still, to double down short more and leverage up, plant their feet. Then pivot and announce Teddy, eBay not included. ….

  Now, I understand their capturing machine is out of service. You also go to the vehicle inspection office nearby, you're told their machines are also down. Honestly, this country needs to be auctioned off on Ebay so that serious people can buy it off and reset this mess.

  @Itsfoss Works ok here in firefox and chromium-ungoogled. If I'm gonna get blocked by a site, most of the time it's when I'm using ff. (even got a phone call from ebay once because of it) I didn't have an issue.

  @Mericamemed Poor kid. I'd get ebay on it. Probably can't do much, but maybe they can track the guy down and remove him from ebay.

  @LlcPickaxe A lot of gaming companies already enforce strict distribution policies. Distributors are often required to: • Sell at a % of MSRP • Prevent wholesale accounts from flipping on eBay/Amazon • Follow allocation rules Pokémon could absolutely enforce similar policies if they wanted to. At the end of the day, no smart distributor is turning down the biggest TCG franchise over tighter wholesale terms because the product would still move instantly. None of us know the exact contracts between Pokémon and distributors, but based on how dozens of other companies operate, it’s definitely possible. And honestly, Pokémon’s response seems pretty clear already… they bought Excell to likely control some distribution themselves.

  @foxenflask One play I’ve thought about is they issue massive convertible debt above tbink 20-30b and after that’s priced gme runs way past it so debt holders profit and memes are allowed to fly and gme gets eBay for the low with a tender offer

  @CallMadRabbit Hi, sorry to hear and you're not the only one. We've seen 2 others with similar experiences. Unsure if this is isolated or not. Granted, this issue and whatnot/ebay issues are things our site is trying to stop! Please check us out, list, bid and control your own payment!
