    @Kelz_Realist @Wizarab10 If your problem is leg issue then you have little problem that money can solve. Order for your car suspension online from Ebay, alibaba etc. You will be getting your cars oem and it will last more.

    @JacobsCards I've left eBay for multiple reasons but this seems like a real problem lately. Purchasing at peak pricing then realizing they overpaid is not the sellers fault. eBay is quick to authenticate over $250 but should handle all returns so they can see for themselves what was sent

    I have serious trust issues and that’s exactly why I can’t send a random vendor money on instagram to purchase an item. If it’s not Amazon, EBay, AliExpress, SHEIN etc, I’m not sending my hard earned money to anyone.

    @eevblog Currently listed for $150 USD on ebay. I'd donate a few dollars to see you tear it down and evaluate its construction.

    @ValueAddedRS I am surprised this issue has not gotten more media attention. I called my retirement plan manager and told her to divest my accounts of any fund that has money in EBAY. The EBAY X account alone is about 90% complaints for similar issues.

    @trinity2pointO Analogy- A buddy has an eBay store. Got a whole box of CPAP seals, which are quite expensive. Sold they fast as **** on eBay for 1/2 msrp. Unknowingly …. ******* himself. eBay store got shut down permanently for selling medical devices w/o a license.

    Adrian Clarke (@adrianfclarke) reported

    @papiermagnet The internet has ruined everything so back issues are normally £25-30 on eBay so I can’t really justify them unless I need one for an article. I have a few I picked up at shows on the cheap.

    @foxenflask fair, £101m revenue and £42m operating loss is dog ****. The trends are clearly moving in the right direction (tripled revenue since 2021 and falling operating loss). Would like to see those percentages accelerate if eBay doesnt ruin it with terrible marketing

    I sell motorcycle parts on eBay which is pretty much dried up because of the shipping.. these are usually bulky items and FedEx and UPS both got extremely expensive.. . Thankfully, I’m retired so this was just kind of for fun. Shipping rates will not go down even if gas does. It’s a one-way trip.

    eBay and three former top executives have agreed to pay $55.7 million to resolve a lawsuit by a Massachusetts couple who fell victim to a bizarre stalking and harassment campaign carried out by several of its employees in retaliation for their coverage of the e-commerce company in a newsletter they publish. David and Ina Steiner announced the settlement late on Monday, bringing an end to a case they filed in 2021 in Boston federal court after several former eBay employees were prosecuted for targeting them in a cyber-stalking campaign that involved sending the couple cockroaches, fly larvae and a bloody Halloween pig mask. As part of the settlement, eBay agreed to pay $46.15 million to the couple; fund $6 million in charitable contributions to nonprofit organizations; and issue a “strongly-worded” statement about the conduct of three of its top former executives.

    I was just thinking about this today. If you take a 5-10 year horizon, where would you want to put your money? - Vintage? I think it's risky. I'll go so far as to say even big names like Hank Aaron and Willie Mays will start to fade. - Definitely not ultra-modern. Don't chase the new "color blast" or whatever every year. Wouldn't touch Topps Dynasty, which seems to be popular. - GOAT market is at all time highs and feels frothy to me. ------------- For me the play is simple, buy cool cards! People want unique cards (no base, no random parallels, but also no "case hits"). I'm talking image variations, autos (on-card), the kind of cards where you pull up eBay and you can't find any available. -------------- Cash might be the play. Take a little risk off the table and be ready to come back when (IF) things calm down. Sealed wax is a play if you can keep it sealed and know how to sell it (not for me). I do think the 2005-2015ish era is a little undervalued. A lot of big cards in that era that are entering HOF eligibility.

    Three browser tabs. Two repricers. One reseller still wondering which SKU actually made money. Built Vendrune to fix that. It watches Amazon, eBay and Poshmark 24/7 — reprices, counters lowballs, files weekly P&L by SKU. Three marketplaces. One P&L. Zero babysitting. Live soon.

    @theonlydsmith @GotdemCards I currently post almost everything on eBay, but if you see something and your rather buy in CollX, I can move from one to the other. I’ve had trouble keeping track when listed on both and accidentally sold the same card twice.

    replaced a zipper on bathing ape hoodie that got sent back for being not authentic because I had changed the zipper which leads period of questions changing the zipper on a coach purse. Makes it in authentic was a $200 hoodie. It wasn’t selling with a broken zipper #ebay

    @Lucky_____Me Not to be an ***, but that’s not the buyers issue. You shouldn’t advertise on eBay while simultaneously trying to sell it privately. Just not a good business model. Just my opinion

    Update: Yesterday was a solid day. $1,547 Website 1, $1,767.50 Amazon 1. Ebay, Website 2, Amazon 2, and Walmart stores were a bit slow at maybe $1,000 combined. Stocks were up $950 or so. Should finish the month today around $111,000 for sales across platforms and down around $8,000 on stocks.

    A GPU repair shop is offering a 22GB VRAM upgrade for the RTX 2080 Ti, doubling its original 11GB. Read that as a clever mod finally reaching the mainstream, and you’re missing that this exact service already existed, already got suspended once because of memory prices, and its return says something specific about what those prices are being weighed against now. The shop, GPU Solutions, based in the UAE, first demonstrated this conversion roughly two years ago, physically desoldering all eleven original 1GB GDDR6 chips and replacing them with 2GB modules, then reflashing a custom VBIOS so the card and Nvidia’s drivers recognize the full 22GB. It’s genuine board-level rework, not a software trick, involving memory strap resistor changes, new thermal pads, and a full stress-test pass before the card ships back. Here’s what makes this return notable rather than routine. The service was suspended in June 2025 after a sharp spike in memory chip prices made the mod financially impractical for the shop to keep offering. That suspension happened before this year’s DRAM crisis, the one already pushing prices up roughly 90% in Q1 2026 alone as AI data centers absorb the bulk of global memory supply. The mod is now back on the market anyway, despite operating in a chip pricing environment that’s measurably worse than the one that shut it down the first time. The reason the math works again isn’t that memory got cheaper. It’s what the finished card is worth. A similarly modified RTX 2080 Ti, sold openly on eBay by a separate Palo Alto shop, lists at $499, undercutting an RTX 4070 Ti Super by roughly $300 while offering more VRAM, specifically pitched at AI workloads like Stable Diffusion and local language models rather than gaming. A shop stopped offering this exact upgrade a year ago because memory got too expensive to justify it. It’s back now anyway, because the AI demand making memory expensive is the same demand making an old card with more of it worth paying for.

    Quite raw, but just showing you the process behind, os in #CORTEXos is for open source, so maybe my diary will become someone's guide to make their world better. otherwise now just posting to escape facing real life problems. And trying to qui smoking again, this time with gum. Tomorrow starting to slow down as my budget is cutted in half, always appreciated this kind of bullshit. as planned to halt only in winter. but feels like seeing a tornado moving towards your house. no stress ill just save up on food...yay... but my workshop is opening soon, so opening like ebay - etsy like store, now I can, no problem with bankruptsy anymore, as the trial has ended. there also will be stickers! that I could guarantee.

  • ValueAddedRS
    Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported

    @HoneybadgerNo1 @eBay @depop Just for clarity, this item didn't actually go through an eBay authentication facility before delivery to you, right? I don't see the Authenticity Guarantee symbol & it's below the price threshold. It looks to me like it was just a regular listing, which eBay did not initially flag, allowing you to purchase it - then when you relisted the same item, eBay's AI systems flagged it as counterfeit & took it down. That wouldn't have anything to do with eBay Authentication, but it definitely does still show that eBay's AI sucks.

    @SaucysBreaks As I told you on eBay you asked a question I answered. You didn’t like my answer so then doubled down and showed me comps with latest comp being 10% more than your quote.

    @eBay @RobGronkowski eBay authentication needs serious improvement for Vintage luxury goods. While my item was determined to be authentic, eBay authentication found "minor issues" stating: 1) That there are more scuffs and scratches described or shown in the listing. 2) There are more spots and stains than shown or described in the listing. This is despite the fact the listing clearly states "“Scuffs on exterior leather surfaces. Inside lining has minor wear. Hardware has light wear. See photos.” and there are photos of the scuffs in the photo listing. Every scuff, scratch, and imperfection visible on the purse is already shown in the listing photographs. On a 1970s Vintage luxury purse (56 years old), this type of surface wear is expected, disclosed, and fully documented. Treating disclosed and photographed condition as an undisclosed defect is an incorrect and overzealous evaluation that ignores the reality of vintage leather goods. More critically, a stain now appears on the front of the purse that did not exist in either the listing photographs or the more than 150 photographs taken during the packing process immediately prior to shipment to the authenticator. eBay REALLY needs to improve their authentication and evaluation process for vintage luxury goods. They also need to account for the damage they have done to my very expensive luxury vintage purse.

    @mechaJasonj @Walrus_Moonboy I wish someone would step up and start prosecuting all the fake collectibles on eBay. It’s been an issue for years and years from video games, to sports cards, to TCG and it’s time that eBay and the authorities do something about it

    I have to reiterate I sold 10,000 magic cards with literally zero problems on tcgplayer and eBay. I sold 7 pokemon cards and half of the transactions had complaints trying to get discounts or the card for free. It’s amazing. The card buying community on Pokemon is **** high key. I dont know what else to say. Also every local trade ended up Having a scammer trying to grift some fake product. The magic I sold. Zero issues locally. I don’t know what to say about this or what valuable insights you can get from this.
