中西部のカウボーイ(MidwestCowboy)🔺🍝 (@MidwestCowboy6) reportedThis is a serious issue. Ok i understand the Pokemon botting issues, theyre popular and hold value. But now you have people botting @MapleStory’s closed beta test of classic world registration, and selling the botted accounts on ebay for $800. This shouldnt even have a botting issue as when yhe test ends all game data is lost. WTF

DK going to BK (@rkansas) reported@Banano4u2 @magsonthemoon Shows as liability on financials. The TD letter opinion on raising 20B was based on the combined gme and ebay to be able to issue investment grade bonds.
-
KC H (@KCH_76) reported@ChrisBirdsall75 problem is people on this app see prospects like currency....well we have prospects x y and z...and they are ranked 1, 2, 3... so we could have beaten the offer made by the other team if our GM just wanted too... when that is not how this normally works... it's not an auction or Ebay...where everyone sees what the current bid is and can out bid it...that might be more fun for fans....but would be murder on prospects who see their names being tossed around knowing they are fixing to have to move...

zk. (@zk_lmao) reported@xrtzbase GME dropping is actually exceptionally rare around the level it was at. The memecoin is essentially backed by a stablecoin until it's not. Now that 1.4B of bonds are being converted it has a few effects: - there won't be quite as much volatility farming, making GME now act less as a stable asset. - the balance sheet of teh company is better with less debt. Even with the slightly extra dilution, most of the move down was temporary shorting by bond holders to get themselves as good a deal as possible, so it'll bounce back. This also may have been something Cohen had to do to ensure a merged company with eBay is actually investment grade and not overburdened by debt. But more importantly, one thing the coin can do that the shares don't necessarily reflect in the lit market is an onchain supply shock. And if that's part of peoples goal (it'd certainly pump the coin - see what happened on launch day), then your dollars go further to accumulating more shares in the pool. That's actually bullish for the coin. And when the bond holders stop shorting after the vwap window, price will largely bounce back bc the stock was already at its stone cold bottom; Especially if there's a catalyst before the vwap, which could actually give bond holders a *worse deal* than they had previously agreed to, and that would force the price somewhat higher still, if not a tiny short squeeze. (Unlikely that there's a catalyst in the vwap though, but there's always tail risk).

ANNE Chat𝄐 (@ANNE__Chat) reported@pseudoanomaly don't even get me started on reviews it has been bad since ebay made feedback one sided i had to live through that but now i see reviews on shopping platforms giving 5* just because the item got delivered and problem orders don't get any reviews, or it gets removed w/ refund
-
Marsha Collier (@MarshaCollier) reported@nickhtang No doubt, but technically a package from LA-AZ should be cheaper than LA-FL. I checked the pricing on Stamps, PirateShip & eBay. Problem is, ideally, a seller needs to know the shipping cost prior to posting an item for sale.
-
Jackson Lloyd (@JacksonLloyd) reportedI’ve had a terrible time trying to return + get a refund from @eBay on an item that I provided proof on as being: 1. Not as described 2. Not delivered Seller was protected in both the INAD & not delivered ticket Ridiculous for an automated closeout on 2 tickets I provide proof + response from seller admitting to scam Has done the same to other buyers too Been trying to handle for a month but automated response + seller have allowed issue to be evaded This is why I am diversifying platforms I buy on

lennard (@lennardeth) reported@leodev I bought my own server yesterday and it's great. If you have the money, maybe invest it! Just get old hardware (like a mini PC off ebay) and run Proxmox on it.

daisy (@centfont) reportedWas looking at Ryan Gosling movies on eBay but then I remembered that I work down the street from a giant dvd/book reseller so I might go there after work actually

davie (@daviestero) reportedElon Musk built PayPal without that Ebay was ******. He gave the thrifty a way to recycle shite. He gave them green electric engines. Hes fixing their problems. He is idealogy wise on the same level as them. Yet they see him as hitler? Who was... ... and ... .
-
Alex Strand (@1ev_guy) reported@eBay please be very cautious selling on eBay! They do not care about sellers! They hold money for weeks (presumably to make interest) under the guise of a zip code issue at delivery. I have confirmation thru their msg system that buyer has his item. Still will not release funds.
-
Retro Soles (@RetroSolesUK) reported@enakssor @eBay_UK @eBay I’ve joined that mate the only problem is you have wait on average 17 days after the sale for them to release your money , so then cash flow slows down and can’t replace stock your selling
-
Shelly 👹👻👽⚽️🔥 (@danapond42) reportedI really do have an issue when you buy an item off EBAY and the seller has "lost the item". Like really? Just seems like an opportunity to relist in the future for more money to me.
-
Fourth_&_Fk_It🇺🇸 (@fourth_n_fk_it) reported@nykcsports @CardPurchaser @eBay I've recently had similar problems with "regular" USPS as well. USPS GA packaged sent from Boston MA never scanned in at all, just (thankfully) randomly showed up in Oregon 2 weeks later. My guess is these are all symptoms of the overall competency crisis.
-
Nick (@maietta) reported@ShawnaStaffReal At least the Avalanche uses the 4L60E transmission which are very easy to rebuild. My Astro van had a ball bearing in the valve body separator plate get stuck, causing my 3-4 clutch back to burn up. A $10 kit off eBay to fix this issue means that once my transmission is rebuild, it will never have this kind of problem again. I'm aiming to finish the rebuild when I get back to the cabin. It's a super common issue.

gman (@blueroadliner) reported@eBay There never have been more scamming, dishonest, or incompetent sellers on Ebay or mor difficult to get help or a phone call from Ebay with a customer problem. It is disgusting.
-
Will James (@willjamesusa) reported@lior_pozin Why didn't eBay shut down 100 accounts? There's something impossibly odd they would not find a relationship among them.
-
Pontone Classics (@PontoneClassics) reported@RetroSolesUK @eBay_UK @eBay Its shocking honestly. Having your own site should be the ideal solution but getting the traffic to it is another issue. I actually cant remember last time I sold something on eBay other then the live auctions

VLAD HOSTS THE BEST PODCAST IN BITCOIN (@Vladcostea) reportedRead a comment from somebody who said he will buy a rare and obscure hardware wallet from eBay or AliExpress because nobody will care enough to hack it It’s called security by obscurity and it’s the WORST IDEA EVER Coldcard got pwned because they used an obscure firmware with no incentives to audit Something more rare is a much easier target in the era of LLMs: search for obscure listings, then look for exploitable security vulnerabilities in the codebase What you should get instead is the most battle tested hardware and software. Something that’s been attacked for years and has hundreds of people looking for issues every day Something popular enough that it will receive support even after the company behind it goes out of business In security, the safest road is the one that most people are taking. The best place to hide isn’t off the grid, but in a crowd Choose wisely, the dark alley might be faster but it lacks the protections of the crowded boulevard

popcornisready (@popcornishere) reportedCrack down on the real problem: Non-payers with multiple false positive feedback ratings & allow sellers to leave negatives again. @eBay

Proto (@scottloft) reportedViews on my ebay items have been stagnant for weeks. Does anyone else find this to be a common issue? I have an ebay store and before i opened it my view count seemed to be way higher

OzKo (@OzKo_txt) reported@narliebirds my headcannon is that he got a super cheap broken one off ebay and fixed it himself

dj morrow (@boolymonfan) reported@daparty250 If you don’t have money like me just pull the eBay diesel and rock revival method it never lets me down

GPT-Pain (@GPTpain) reportedAlas, the actuator assembly is not the issue, so I burned $110 on an A/B test. Arrogant POS who just had to buy the part on eBay before doing a fuller investigation. I've at least confirmed that it's getting power and responds to/communicates with the door release and the instrument cluster. Of course, my multimeter is not at home right now. Womp womp. Wiring seems fine and harness in frame is secure on eye test. My friend TechGPT and I have determined it's probably just damaged wiring in the accordion boot between door and roof. Could be a BCM glitch, but it can't be failing as all the other door locks are functional and responsive. Out of time today. Try again later with multimeter in tow. I know there are people dying right now in the world, but this is very important that I come out ahead on this versus dealer repair cost. Thank you for attending my TED car talk.
