  @Braves_Jacob @CardPurchaser In my experience lower end cards sell faster on Vinted. Higher end sell better on eBay. They payout as soon as the card is delivered. They give the buyer 48 hours to report any issues. I’ve never had any issues. If anything goes missing in the post, Vinted refund you.

  @josethevrtech I’ve been talking to devs about this for years trying to get eBay listing taken down as they just don’t listen to me, piracy through side loading has been rampant for years some of them just shrugged and said they were never going to buy the game anyway

  @TheSilverRam @tomtor___ Not just silver, lots of other collectibles are fake as well , same on Etsy, never trust those places. I had a similar issue and eBay will not honour refund if the seller refuse.

  @eBay - Recently had a card not pass authentication and have the following feedback. I have had a an issue with authentication. They said I altered the card and I did not. (The authentication passed this card once when I bought it and did not note it for being altered. After receiving it, I did not alter it.) I had to apologize to my buyer on behalf of eBay, return hard earned money, and all because the person at authentication failed to do their job correctly. This is unacceptable behavior and I will follow up with the BBB next. As eBay resellers, we all need to push back against these unfair business tactics. This is going to get a formal complaint to eBay, as well as many more I am sure until they make it optional. #eBay | @CardPurchaser

  @CalculatedFlow I think it is being done, because some Institutional Investors are already convinced by the Road Show that the Directors and RC have been on. They are getting rewarded with equity positions in exchange for those Bonds. GameStop + eBay is really, if you think about it, just like an IPO, but all of their strengths separate, and even more strength together is already known. The guidance that RC has been giving out publicly are not high water marks. $600M adjusted EBITDA for GME full year 2026, will be more than $600M . Finding $2B in costs with an eBay management and board of directors will be a heck of a lot more than that. Just at those low expectation estimates it is already a no-brainer. I've posted my thoughts on this before, but I think RC +Team will at some point give eBay their notice. Their notice that some of those expenses do not make any sense, because they don't. Especially if you are a shareholder. Nobody flops down $1.4B in cash for a business that has never been profitable (Depop), that has been around since 2011, and with astronomical growth numbers, it would still take 10 years to break even. That is a breach of fiduciary duty to the Nth degree. That is not incompetence, because they have been doing it for multiple acquisitions in the last 6 years, look at Tease or Caramel acquired just last year. The current eBay Board and Management have been tossing out measly share buybacks every year to embolden people to look away. Also, look who were early investors in those non-profitable acquisitions. eBay Ventures based in Switzerland. The country that holds secrets, as their mainstay.

  Nicolas - Bourse Attitude (@Bourse_Attitude) reported 31 minutes ago

  GameStop ($GME) considers withdrawing its $56 billion bid for eBay GameStop could abandon its $56 billion takeover attempt for eBay, according to Bloomberg News. CEO Ryan Cohen is reportedly reviewing the offer, although no final decision has yet been made. GameStop has not commented publicly on the report. GameStop launched its unsolicited proposal in May, offering $125 per eBay share, with the consideration split between cash and GameStop shares. The company initially held a 5% economic stake in eBay, but subsequently increased its position to nearly 10% of the company, becoming one of eBay's largest shareholders. eBay previously rejected the takeover proposal. Rather than pursuing a full acquisition, Ryan Cohen is reportedly considering a partnership or joint venture. Such an arrangement could allow eBay to use GameStop's roughly 1,600 US stores, particularly for businesses such as trading cards and collectibles. GameStop could also seek representation on eBay's board. The possible change in strategy comes after several months of pressure surrounding the proposed transaction and questions over its financing. In pre-market trading on Monday, GameStop shares were up around 1.4%, while eBay shares were down approximately 0.6%.

  @texasblackbears @DeItaone Authentication my short sighted friend - EBAY has a giant problem with authenticity.....and they do not care about buyers or sellers. $GME would solve this issue immediately.

  I will not delete this time, that means as per the flawed system i do not have access to my .@XMoney account, that means i can't check for fraud, i can't verify 2 deposits from an ebay account i just added, i can't lock my virtual card etc.. etc.. This is a flaw in the system that i've exposed several times now. I realize it's my choice to delete or not delete. I already appealed this, i did the last time too. I said the last time i was going to close the xmoney if i had to delete it to get access. I lied, i didn't. But, i will this time if i have to. I say that meaning, if i have to delete before the appeal is seen, meaning more than 48 hours. It's a flawed system that xmoney is not accessible when your account is locked out, because you are being held by the ***** and x's terrible review system. This profile image is NOT a violation, and x knows it, but getting someone to fix it, it's another story. .@Chimpnnout

  @waltuuuhr @eBay Yeah, it's a good, simple idea that you would hope somebody getting paid at eBay has offered up. The feedback rating system lets me know to a degree when someone is unreliable or in the gray area near fraudulence, but I don't think it accounts for, "sometimes this person, who infrequently sells items, is a bit lazy and slow."

  MD (@MorgenHatton) reported 38 minutes ago

  This is absolute bullshit. BlackRock just added millions more $GME shares, taking one of its largest positions ever. @RyanCohen appears to have accepted that buying @eBay outright may not be the move and a strategic partnership could accomplish plenty without torching the balance sheet. @GameStop is still sitting on an absurd mountain of cash relative to its valuation. Yet EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. $GME looks ready to break out… WHAM. Straight back down. At some point you stop calling this “normal price discovery.” $GME remains the most manipulated stock on Wall Street.

  Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reported 38 minutes ago

  The biggest criticism of my eBay institutional ownership analysis in my $GME is that I double counted, and therefore the thesis is invalidated. Okay. Remove the duplicate. It's still over 90%. 90%+ institutional ownership in a company being actively bid on at a 20% premium. That's the number the "debunkers" don't want to engage with because correcting the error doesn't change the conclusion. If fixing one data point doesn't change the thesis, the critique was never about accuracy. It was about avoidance. AND ASK YOURSELF, WHY DO THEY WANT YOU TO IGNORE THAT NUMBER?

  Anectdotey (@anectdotey) reported 41 minutes ago

  @FindleysFinance They never had this money to buy eBay. I think it was a tactic they used to try to make the eBay stock go down so they could buy more shares. I think their goal is accumulating 10-20% of eBay shares instead of buying the whole business, as they most likely want voting rights.

  @SWT_Channel That's true. You have to have a combination of used video game stores, websites like eBay, and yard sales. A lot of it does come down to luck. For example, a year ago I was able to find a CIB (map also included) PS3 copy of Red Dead Redemption for $5.

  A Yale professor recorded one semester of game theory in 2007 that quietly explains how Google, eBay, and every online ad exchange on earth extracts over $500 billion a year from advertisers. Yale charges $86,000 a year to sit in that classroom. He posted every lecture to Yale Open Courses in 2008 for nothing. Millions of people have watched. Almost no retail trader, founder, or negotiator has used the framework. His name is Ben Polak. He is a Yale professor, former Provost of Yale, and one of the most watched university lecturers in the history of the internet. The 62-minute clip in this video is one lecture from his course ECON 159: Game Theory, taught in the fall of 2007 to a packed auditorium of Yale undergraduates. Polak covers the entire mathematical foundation of strategic decision-making in 24 lectures. Dominant strategies. If one option beats every other option regardless of what your opponent does, pick it. Everything else in game theory is a workaround for the fact that dominant strategies almost never exist in real games. Nash equilibria. The point where no player can improve by unilaterally changing strategy. Almost every price on earth is a Nash equilibrium. Every wage negotiation, every auction bid, every trade in a market with millions of participants converges to one. Auctions. The mathematical difference between first-price sealed-bid, second-price sealed-bid, English ascending, and Dutch descending auctions is worth billions of dollars a year to the entity running them. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction. eBay is an English ascending auction with a proxy bid. Treasury bill sales are Dutch descending. Each format extracts different value from bidders. Almost no bidder knows which format they are in. Evolutionary strategies. Why cooperation sometimes wins over defection in repeated games. Why the tit-for-tat rule outperformed every complex algorithm in Robert Axelrod's famous 1980 tournament. Why almost every stable business relationship on earth is a tit-for-tat game. Every hedge fund pays entry-level quants to know this material. Every big tech company hires PhD game theorists to design its pricing pages. Every corporate M&A negotiation is priced by consultants who charge $2 million a deal to apply the same equations. "Never play a strictly dominated strategy." That is the first rule Polak teaches every semester. He calls it the only rule game theory is entirely certain about. Retail traders violate it every time they add to a losing position because taking the loss feels worse than doubling down. The lectures are free on Yale Open Courses. The problem sets and exams from 2007 are still online. Every equation Polak derives fits in under thirty pages of a textbook. The math is free. The willingness to sit through 24 hours of game theory before opening a bid box, a trading terminal, or a negotiation is a much rarer commodity than the confidence to walk in without it.

  Life hack #2 to save money: Learn basic home repair. Most house appliances and units are simple things. Just a few parts. You can ask Chat for help with an issue you have. What I have seen is that parts become obsolete fast for appliances, as well as HVAC units. This is why your repair guy will opt to replace your used units instead of repairing them. But you can find whatever part you need, used, on Ebay. And very cheap. I replaced washer transmissions with used units. The main board in my HVAC unit. Etc. That board hasn't been available new for years now. If I had called an HVAC guy, the repair would have been a new HVAC unit. $5000 or more instead of the $90 I spent on that board. Start with the simple stuff. Water heater not turning on? Maybe it's just the igniter, a $15 part. Over the long run this saves you a lot of money. Invest that money. This helped me to retire early.

  @business He is trying to be CEO of Ebay, the same way he got a board seat at gamestop. Who knows. But, the cash is lacking and dilution would be massive. Stock price of $gme already down. However, after RC acting like a complete fool. I really don't see a partnership happening.

  @Stonkfather2021 @UGFyenliYWw_ @JohnstonMc2 You’re 100% wrong. Ryan Cohen needed to bring the debt down because he needs an investment grade credit rating to borrow money for eBay. That’s why he lowered the strike on the embedded call from $29.

  @CardPurchaser eBay authentication potentially lost a card I sold and sent to them..worst part is the buyer had to reach out to himself to get any sort of update and on top of that the only way I found out was because he messaged me as well..terrible customer service.

  @GoatBeardzDD @ryancohen I don’t think he went cold on any deal. The eBay board likely saw how the hostile takeover was going to go down. They conceded before it even happened. RC is ready to buy all the stocks now.
