  @whypickname @foursyYT Lego has no problem forcing people who sell legit goods on eBay or Amazon to pull down their listings or risk being sued yet they say nothing about a retail org they clearly sell to who thinks it's ok not to reimburse an old man for a legit consignment.

  @AmazonHelp For the last few weeks I have nothing but trouble with your website. It does not come up normally. I have to try 5 or six times for it to come up so it is readable. I wanted to order that new hose but could not open the site. I bought it on EBAY instead.

  In the next month I will be winding down my ebay account. There will be a huge postal increase coming, too many scammers, and slow delivery times. Ebay is becoming a waste of time!!!

  @HankBobbyDale @JCSCollects I agree they can be annoying to look at, but my point was only that eBay has many more prominent issues to concern it self with first. This is simply a minor annoyance, no?

  @eBay_UK your site only allows age verification if you have a credit card, no other method offered. I dont have a credit card - its a crazy rip off - but have had eBay account for 22 years. Fix this please it makes no sense. Also - your AskeBay account is suspended, fix that too!

  @tblunt80 "Fulfillment by eBay" has been tried several times before & failed - mostly because they were too focused on trying to chase Amazon/replicate FBA but with 3rd party partners, which was a mistake, imo. There are certainly some categories/types of sellers who could benefit from an eBay version but by & large it's not something I see many sellers clamoring for today. That's especially true for those who sell non-new in box or OOAK items - there are many sellers I speak to regularly who would simply not be interested in any kind of 3P fulfillment service & neither current nor potential future leadership should ignore that. eBay is currently focused on making shipping another revenue path - for example, mandating C2C sellers in UK & Australia to use on-platform purchased labels where eBay pockets whatever discounts they might have in rates. Personally, I'd like to see eBay first focus on negotiating better rates and/or sharing more of the discounts they already have to help bring costs down & drive more sales long-term for those already doing their own fulfillment. But that doesn't mean some kind of FBE offering couldn't make sense or be valuable for at least some segment of the seller-base - if it's done with actual seller needs in mind rather than being designed as just another fee trap.

  @KatoKLynn @FAYMAYent We also don't use line here. I chatted with the FayMay Entertainment line account and told them about the issues and they want to take care of it. It would be easier if they just sell it on Ebay or Amazon for international Fans. I don't know why Thailand don't use those options

  If this happens it destroys a giant set of jobs that became created! You think pokemon can’t fix the problem? Of course they can. But how many streamers are making a living off resells? How much is eBay and whatnot making? The ppl who own Pokemon prob have stock in some of these secondary markets. So they win twice!

  @WestCoast_Goodz Man, “summer slow down,” “q1 slow down,” “dying platform.” I’ve had to deal with people telling me their eBay sales are dying every season, every month, every year, since I started but my sales have kept going up. It’s definitely the platform, not their fault.

  X completely disappeared the 1st attempt at this as a share post. Trying again. Take 2. eBay follow up: Judging by the responses to the OP, I'm late to the party about 'feeBay's' atrocious fee scheme, deceptively called "selling costs." Oh well. I'm going to shed some 'sunlight' on this anyway, on the slim chance that eBay might change their ways. I've been an eBay user almost from the beginning and have used it extensively in times past as both a buyer and a seller, with great results. I loved the way it used to be, but not anymore. This recent effort was based on my past experiences. I thought it would still be a great way to get my grandkids involved and let them earn some money, teach them a little about ecommerce and get rid of some old inventory in the process. I thought I'd begin with about 400 items, of the 1,000 or so I have of old, obsolete NOS car parts that eBay used to be perfect for. The results at this point are shocking to say the least. I hesitated to disclose the data publicly, on the fear they'd figure out which account is mine with that data and we'd just go from dismal, to abysmal, or the account just cancelled outright. But it's actually worse than I thought and my attitude now is: unless it changes I'm done anyway. So screw it. Here goes. Of about 400 items, only 43 have sold in 3 months, which itself is terrible for brand new, obsolete (hard to find), New Old Stock (NOS) items. After about 3 months, I thought everything would be gone by now. Worse than that though is the sales data, as shown in the annotated screenshot below, from my account seller profile last night. Of the $889.25 total sales, less taxes, our net is $359.56. All of my listings are 'buyer pays shipping,' so there's no shipping costs included in this data. That means the rest, $529.69 went to 'feeBay' in 'selling costs.' Doing the math, that's 59.6% of the total for: my materials, my work creating the listings, managing it, and my grandkids 'pick and pack' efforts. Basically 60% in fees!! And we get to keep 40.4% of that!?!? That's outrageous and a great way to kill what used to be a good company. @eBay, you've put yourself in a vulnerable position, leaving room for someone to startup a competitor that conducts business the way old eBay did, minimal fees, users making money in their spare time and having fun doing it. Maybe @X would? Your move, eBay. Choose wisely.

  A $181K Pokémon auction flipped into a $236K “instant sale” right after the winning bidder allegedly didn’t pay. That alone is raising eyebrows in the high end hobby space. The MBA Black Diamond Black Label Bubble Mew reportedly ended at around $181,000. Shortly after, it was claimed the winning bidder failed to complete payment. The card was then relisted and quickly sold again for approximately $236,000. This all involves Ryan Card House and their handling of the auction process. According to an employee clarification, the original winner may have even bid up to $350K before backing out, which makes the final pricing narrative even harder to reconcile. The issue here is not just the individual transaction, but what it suggests about how high end auctions are being handled. If there were any prior agreements, guarantees, or undisclosed fallback pricing expectations, that would interfere with true price discovery instead of being explained after the fact. That is where concern comes in. Without the infrastructure and safeguards of established marketplaces like Goldin, ALT, or eBay, high end sales can start to distort rather than reflect real demand. Whether everything here is above board or not, the lack of transparency is exactly what erodes trust in the space. People need clean auctions. Not outcomes that require explanation after the fact. #Pokemon #PokemonTCG #BubbleMew

  @eBay I bought a card literally in April. The seller never shipped the item, I’m still waiting on my money to be refunded. It’s a “authenticity guarantee” and I got told I have to wait literally 45 days until the “delivered between date” ends. How does that make any sense? You can authenticate an item you never receive, so now I just have money sitting in limbo for 45 days and you guys can’t help me? By the way, your support on website isn’t very good. The app “help and contact” is terrible and constantly closes out the window.

  @beast1234777 @GerberKawasaki Bull💩! The examples are ENDLESS, especially within Customer Service platforms where AI has replaced live agents in dozens of large corporations! I use both Instacart and eBay on a daily basis and both leverage very sophisticated solely AI powered DM virtual agents which resolve about 90% of my issues. I recently filed an auto claim with GEICO that was expertly guided by their app, which resulted in an instantaneous estimate for repairs that was noted to be solely AI powered! No human interaction, sped up the process by days! I could go on and on. If you’ve not seen this AI interaction, you’re either living in a cave or with a blindfold on.

  I realise people have their opinions about where they shop but I just wanted to give the mom and dads a heads up about Bullseye Deals on EBay. It’s essentially Target’s liquidation in unused returns/items they cannot put out on the floor. I lurk monthly for everything household we will soon need, but there is SO MUCH BABY STUFF. So much! Strollers, toys, diapers, and all marked down. The trick is to like the item, wait 24 hours and by the next morning they will have sent you an automatic offer to mark the price down even further. It’s becoming more popular, but when everything is sold out all I see is baby stuff. If you are struggling or know someone who could use some good deals, I highly recommend.

  Plan B Expat (@planbexpat) reported 58 minutes ago

  The “move abroad and keep your salary zero tax” math always works in the post. It rarely works in real life. The tax saving is real. Your income is the problem, and nobody selling the dream says so. If you’re an employee, your employer is the first wall. Most won’t keep you on payroll where they have no entity. Many enforce a hard 183 day rule. So you get pulled back, let go, or rarely, moved to a contractor. That last one is the only version where the zero even starts to work. “I’ll just find remote work.” Good luck. Everyone wants the same arbitrage, so the seats paying North American rates are brutally competed, and they increasingly want you in a North American timezone anyway. This works for people who own portable income. Software first. Services second. Ecommerce a distant third, since marketplaces such as Etsy, even EBay or sometimes Amazon freeze you the moment they see a foreign IP. One filter for who to trust. The dream sellers on TikTok, Youtube or those convincing you can sell digital products living abroad, earn from the course, not the life. The honest ones can show real income from what they built abroad. If someone only profits from telling you how easy it is, that’s the tell. That’s the only reason the tax line works for some. They obtained legal residency, severed ties with their home country, owned a portable business that worked from anywhere. Residency before you need it. The boring steps are the whole game.
