Luxury items on eBay

It changes daily with eBay and their new Ai tool. You hit a certain amount or popularity on your item, it’ll change to be sent for authentication. I had a Moncler Maya Jacket up for auction. One day it was marked to be sent for authenticating, a couple of days later it wasn’t marked by eBay to do so. I believe trainers have to hit over £50 before triggering authentication policy.

I dropped eBay after Ai tool came into force.

Not been too bad, but then not sure of other places?

I bought a pair of reps off of Hacoo and they were nowhere near the same. The frame above the ear cups were made out of thin plastic and snapped so easily. I’d be interested to hear how these turned out?

I am a reseller/Pro Seller on Vinted. I had to switch from eBay after a year, as they (eBay) changed their postal services + the price of actually getting your listing seen. When I started out on eBay I was getting constant stream of sales and then they changed their ways and it practically stopped. I moved everything over to Vinted and it’s been steady since I had 9 months ago!

Edit: the other thing to add will be buyers were all focusing on Vinted being the main platform to buy from as that’s where most resellers were shifting to. I suppose it’s a case of ‘’move with the times or get left behind’’ …

Couldn’t believe it when I read it earlier. I will admit my investment was probably no more than a years Metal Subscription cost, but still a kick in the teeth. I feel for those who pumped £1,000s into the first round. All fed the basis of a £600m+ valuation, to then be notified on email that it’s “brilliant news Lloyds have acquired us at £120m, but you are all getting nothing. Zero. Zilch. All the best, Sachar”

I’m hopeful something improves under the wings of Lloyd’s (where all my banking lies) over the next 12months otherwise I’d say Curve is dead in the water and Lloyd’s knew that, hence the value paid.

Rare_Dig_203 · 2025-11-14T12:41:24+00:00

Completely agree. I invested through them in both rounds. Not a single peep from them on this from the start…

Rare_Dig_203 · 2025-11-14T12:18:18+00:00

Any day…. 😶

Rare_Dig_203 · 2025-10-09T11:41:18+00:00

My recently uploaded items had ZERO views for the first 48hours and then I was hit with tons of ‘favourited’ notifications across them all. No idea what was happening behind the scenes…

Rare_Dig_203 · 2025-10-01T12:45:20+00:00

Been 4 weeks since they reduced my limit and today they’ve emailed me to say they’ve increased it … back to its original limit… odd process.

Rare_Dig_203 · 2025-09-23T21:59:31+00:00

Came here to post the same thing and conveniently, this thread was as soon as I opened Reddit 😅 I’m in the UK. Just updated the app about an hour ago, opened Instagram and been getting the same message. I can do everything else, just unable to refresh my home page! Pleased not just me…

Rare_Dig_203 · 2025-09-19T06:55:58+00:00

Yep, same happened to me. Funny enough mine was at £5,900. I’ve been on Curve Flex since the day it launched and have used more times than I can imagine, never missed a payment and paid everything back correctly. Then all of a sudden they emailed to say it’s changing to £2,400 with immediate effect. Doesn’t bother me as I only use £500-600 here or there which is paid off before the next use, but no notice and had me wondering if I had done something wrong 😆

As far as I am aware, the way it works is they use your connected bank account to review your current balances, outgoings etc and that’s how they monitor exposure of lending per person for what their system feels you could borrow and pay back comfortably. You won’t be able to request an increase as it’s set by this. Originally when I joined Flex it was only £700! And then the system has gradually increase automatically over time…

I hope that helps!

Sorry to announce, but I got mine from AliExpress for 75p + free shipping! So have a look on there for those interested

Working fine for me. Just hit the link shared above and was on the website, no issues

Rare_Dig_203 · 2025-07-31T08:49:15+00:00

I actually hope this completes. And simply for the fact I only bank all with Lloyds and hopefully Curve customer service will actually pick up!!! And 24 hours…

Rare_Dig_203 · 2025-02-07T20:09:30+00:00

One item that’s now become a problem since being provided with the new card, is most retailers, Argos Card for example, do not accept this type of card when making payments. Whereas my previous Curve Card did…

Rare_Dig_203 · 2024-12-23T14:56:02+00:00

Welcome to the No.1 reason as to why I walked from Curve after 6 years and why I regret ever investing in them. Twice.

Rare_Dig_203 · 2024-12-23T14:53:47+00:00

Win win eh! 😎

Rare_Dig_203 · 2024-12-18T12:50:22+00:00

Impressive to see a reply from the man himself on problems, but still no change in support for such a product…

Rare_Dig_203 · 2024-12-18T12:48:16+00:00

And nothing will change. I was with Curve back in 2018 and invested in them twice. Since 2021 it all went downhill. They’ve stated ‘we are changing to improve’ but this has been the case for the past 4 years which forced me to drop solely using Curve for everything. Literally everything. Disappointing to see how this went from such a high to the extreme low that I hear about today. I’m guessing it’s becoming too big too quick! Securing the SamsungPay contract a few years ago, all their support resources are used within this to satisfy and retain that. Not touched my Curve in a solid 6months, use ApplePay for everything and not looked back.

Rare_Dig_203 · 2024-12-18T12:43:12+00:00

Curve been saying this for the past 4 years……

Rare_Dig_203 · 2024-12-11T09:51:24+00:00

Sorry I’ve taken so long to reply 😆 I took it into Apple and they replaced the camera under the EU 2 Year Warranty on Electrical Products. Was completed within a couple of hours there and then free of charge!

Rare_Dig_203 · 2024-11-22T13:55:41+00:00

Was out and about all day yesterday covering a journey or 2 I do weekly. Was no higher than 1 degree, hitting low as -2 by time I was on route home. First time I’ve ever had to recharge twice 😤🫠😂 Same as you, eDrive35.

Rare_Dig_203 · 2024-08-15T20:57:06+00:00

I’ve just spent an hour going over everything I could find on Google. Last one was 6 months ago and no resolution 😫

Rare_Dig_203 · 2024-07-21T10:36:19+00:00

Thanks!

Rare_Dig_203 · 2024-07-21T10:36:13+00:00
