    Netflix and Amazon Prime subscribers could be forced to pay the TV licence fee under plans to safeguard the future of the BBC. More corruption and crooked workings by the @BBC. Praying that @POTUS shuts them down permanently.

    Jack Reacher novels are just Mary Sue stories for dudes. One reason I liked the first Jack Reacher movie so much is because Tom Cruise is likeable, but he doesn't seem that formidable. The kind of trouble the Amazon version of Reacher gets into is silly because most people wouldn't **** with him. Not to mention he couldn't go incognito anywhere except Muscle Beach.

    Zero impressions = zero data. And zero data means you can't optimize anything. Before you assume the keyword doesn't work, check these three things first: ① Relevancy gap Amazon won't show your ad if it doesn't think your product matches the search. Check that your title, bullets, and backend keywords align tightly with what you're targeting. ② Your bid is too low Sometimes the competitive floor is way higher than the suggested bid. Start from where you are and increase by 3 cents every other day.. not all at once. Set a bid cap (usually 1.25–1.5x your average CPC) so you don't spiral into $20 bids. ③ Budget running out early Even a strong bid means nothing if your daily budget is gone by 9am. Check the Budgets tab in Seller Central.. it'll show you whether you're running out and when. Fix these in order. Most impression issues fall into one of these three. Save this post next time you're staring at a campaign that won't serve.

    @wolfejas @darrenrovell No, it has $29 billion in cash and eBay is buying GameStop through extra shares that will be created. 1. The offer in numbers Total deal value: ~$56 billion (some reports cite $55.5–56B depending on exact share count). Price per eBay share: $125 (cash + stock). Premium: ~20% over eBay’s Friday close before the announcement (implying eBay’s pre-offer market cap was ~$46–48B). eBay shares outstanding: ~448–451 million (quick check: $56B ÷ $125 ≈ 448 million). Payment split: Exactly 50% cash + 50% GameStop common stock, with eBay shareholders allowed to elect their mix (pro-rata if oversubscribed). So the split is: Cash portion: $28 billion (half of $56B). Stock portion: $28 billion worth of newly issued GameStop shares. 2. How the cash portion ($28B) is funded — the core math Cohen didn’t spell out GameStop doesn’t need to come up with $28B in cash out of thin air. Here’s the exact funding sources disclosed in their offer letter: GameStop’s existing cash & liquid investments: ~$9.4 billion (balance as of January 31, 2026; recent reports confirm it’s still ~$9B). New third-party debt financing: up to $20 billion via a “highly confident” commitment letter from TD Securities (a TD Bank subsidiary). Total cash available for the cash portion: $9.4B (GME cash) + $20B (new debt) = $29.4 billion That fully covers (and slightly exceeds) the $28B cash needed. The extra ~$1.4B provides a buffer for transaction costs, fees, or minor adjustments. In equation form: Cash required = $28B Cash sources = Existing cash + New debt commitment $28B ≤ $9.4B + $20B → Fully financed on paper. The letter explicitly states: “The cash consideration is expected to be funded from a combination of (i) cash and liquid investments on GameStop’s balance sheet, which totaled ~$9.4 billion as of January 31, 2026, and (ii) third-party acquisition financing, in respect of which GameStop has received a highly-confident letter from TD Securities for up to $20 billion.” (Note: “Highly confident” is one step short of a fully committed debt facility, which is common in early-stage unsolicited bids; it still signals strong bank backing.) 3. The stock portion ($28B) — no cash required This is pure equity issuance: GameStop issues new shares directly to eBay shareholders. The exact number of shares (and exchange ratio) will be set at signing so the stock component equals $28B in value at the agreed price. GameStop’s pre-deal market cap was ~$12 billion. Issuing $28B worth of new stock means significant dilution for existing GME shareholders (roughly tripling the share count in value terms, depending on the final price). Post-deal ownership sketch (simplified, assuming no major market reaction): eBay shareholders receive ~50% of the deal value in GME stock → they become major owners of the combined company. Original GME shareholders retain ownership of the pre-deal equity minus the dilution from the new shares issued. This is standard “cash + stock” M&A math — the stock issuance finances half the purchase without needing more cash or debt. 4. Quick pro-forma picture (why Cohen says it can work) Combined company gets eBay’s ~$10B+ annual revenue + GameStop’s operations + ~$2B in targeted annualized cost savings within 12 months. Cohen’s vision (from the letter and WSJ interview): Integrate GameStop’s 1,600+ physical stores for eBay authentication/fulfillment/live commerce, turning eBay into a stronger Amazon rival worth “hundreds of billions.” Debt load increases by ~$20B, but the combined entity’s cash flows + synergies are meant to service it. Bottom line on the math: The $28B cash leg is covered by $9.4B on-hand + $20B committed debt capacity. The $28B stock leg is covered by printing new GME shares. No mystery — it’s all in the public letter. The real questions (which CNBC rightly pressed) are execution risk, massive dilution, whether banks will ultimately fund the full $20B, regulatory hurdles, and whether eBay’s board/shareholders accept. Cohen’s on-air answers were evasive because the numbers are straightforward once you open the letter — but he didn’t walk viewers through the arithmetic the way a CEO normally would in a high-stakes deal interview. This is the clear, no-spin version. The deal is still non-binding and faces long odds, but the financing math itself adds up on paper exactly as described.

    UK WEIGHS TV LICENCE FEE FOR NETFLIX AND PRIME SUBSCRIBERS The current rule is: If you only watch on-demand Netflix or Amazon Prime, you do not need a TV licence. That may change. The Times reports the government is leaning toward keeping the BBC licence fee, but expanding it to cover streaming platforms. BBC’s problem is that 94% of the UK uses its services monthly, but fewer than 80% pay the licence fee. So instead of making BBC subscription-only or ad-funded, the fix being discussed is making more streamers pay.

    Arrests should start at the very top of Amazon with the board members - and work your way down, in my opinion. Amazon was warned in 2024 and in 2025.

    Amazon Seller Support told a client to "try a different browser." The issue was a broken parent-child variation that had split apart overnight. Different browser. For a catalog level issue that required a flat file fix and direct escalation to the catalog team. I wish I was making this up. This is the reality of dealing with Amazon Seller Support in 2026. You open a case with a detailed explanation of the problem. You attach screenshots. You reference the specific ASIN. You explain exactly what is wrong and what you have already tried. And 48 hours later you get a response from someone who read none of it. They send you a help article that has nothing to do with your issue. Ask you to try clearing your cache. Or in this case — suggest a different browser. You respond explaining the issue again in even more detail. Another 48 hours. Another generic response. Meanwhile the listing is broken. Sales are dropping. The clock is ticking. And you are stuck in a loop with a support system that is not built to solve complex catalog problems. Here is the part that genuinely frustrates me. Amazon has built one of the most sophisticated eCommerce platforms in history. The algorithm. The logistics network. The advertising platform. All of it is genuinely impressive. But Seller Support for catalog and listing issues is years behind everything else. Sellers running serious businesses — sometimes doing millions in revenue — are being told to try a different browser when their catalog breaks. There is a real gap between the platform Amazon has built and the support infrastructure that is supposed to maintain it. And right now that gap is costing sellers real money every single day. What is the worst Seller Support response you have ever received? Drop it in the comments. I have a feeling this thread is going to be very long.

I would just find stuff either through Google searches, Reddit, from friends and Amazon Music was p good at recommending things (it's dogass at it now). I would queue up like 4-5 albums for a route of deliveries and write my thoughts down at stop lights

    You can't scale B2B without ironclad reliability. Just weeks ago, Anthropic locked down a 5-gigawatt compute deal with Amazon (plus a new $5B investment) and a massive 3.5-gigawatt TPU deal with Google. They are building an unassailable hardware moat to guarantee Enterprise uptime before they even need it.

    @amazon, you need to improve your after-sales service. I'm a customer since 2008 and now that I have a problem with an order, it's impossible to get it resolved. I ordered two products labeled as "Prime Tomorrow" and ship by Amazon which are usually on my doorstep in less than 24 hours. I placed my order on April 25, 2026, now 16 days later, the products are not even shipped. I contacted your support twice and they are unable to do anything to help. They don't even try to offer a compensation for the unacceptable delay.

    🚨 Big tech is going all-in on AI like never before. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta are planning roughly $725B in combined AI spending in a single year—bigger than many national economies. • Amazon: ~$200B • Microsoft: ~$190B • Google: ~$190B • Meta: ~$145B Even with massive spending, demand is still outpacing supply. Microsoft says it could remain capacity-limited through 2026. A huge chunk is going into infrastructure—especially AI data centers, power, land, and memory chips, which are already seeing record demand. Result: chip and memory makers are booming, and AI investment is now directly driving hardware markets. Bottom line: Big Tech isn’t slowing down—they’re racing to build the backbone of the AI era.
