eBay already had warehousing ops, I assume larger than tcgplayer’s.

Last year, eBay shut down tcgplayer’s only fulfillment facility in Rochester, NY and switched to using eBay’s facility in Kentucky.

That wasn't about size, it was a labor play. The NY workers were negotiating for unionization for 500 days because of unfair conditions and low pay.

I would have projected the same outcome though.

Quality of TCGDirect operations, from an enduser perspective, took a nosedive with the move and never recovered.

I am familiar with all the particulars, check my HN profile ;)
INDEED! Congrats on your recent successes and I really like your product!

As a seller and as a buyer.
