  @DaSluggySlug Again. I don’t know what that guy was referring to. He said something about how he receives great feedback so I honestly assumed he was using eBay or something. Of course it’s buyee that is causing the issues. Thats why so many sellers have buyee in particular blocked from purchasing.

  @eBay Why doesn't eBay have a single customer service rep with whom I can talk? Their pervasive use of AI to ward off customer issues and concerns troubles me greatly. I guess I will need to ask for my money back with my credit card, since eBay so effectively seeks to block me from any real, human interaction. It is too bad. I always liked eBay. But when you need them, they simply are not there.

  @WavysTV @XBOX Go on eBay to every one of these listings, select “Report” -> “Product or Listing” -> “A problem in the listing” -> “Presale” and then enter something like “Greater than 40 days before release (November 13). Estimated shipping date is fraudulent. “

  @jsquit @Official_LMM_ The problem is selling customs, not making them or giving them away, right? Let's say I sell a $50 pencil on eBay but give away a free custom 1/64 for each pencil sold. Would that be illegal?

  @GeniusGTX Everybody says the same stupid things. Passion, strategy, edge... scale marketing Meanwhile, success sometimes comes down to simple luck, timing, or random events. Or buying 10 houses in NY back in 2015 This fat slob- an Epstein sleepover and Soros lover- lucked out by being with a much smarter Peter T. and sold PayPal to eBay for 1.5B. In 02. Once in a lifetime.

  @SecretService On January 9 2013, Howard County MD, Agent Scott Windish and Agent Nick Jonte and 1 More agent came from Baltimore downtown Secret Service headquarters, blackmailed us saying that we will shut down your business account if you don’t give us the money in your bank account because of 2 stolen phones we purchased from eBay without any knowledge . Agent Scott Windish then opened my car glove box and took 3k cash and took my phone on the way to Wells Fargo and we waited at the Wells Fargo waiting for the teller in line for 10 min and he made me say the teller write a 39.000 dollars cashiers check under SECRET SERVICE and after they took me to STARBUCKS and made me sign paperworks… Need our money back 39k was seized as check , 3 k cash and 15 attorney fees .

  A Yale professor recorded one semester of game theory in 2007 that quietly explains how Google, eBay, and every ad exchange on earth pulls over $500 billion a year out of advertisers' pockets. Yale charges $86,000 a year to sit in that classroom. He put every lecture on Yale Open Courses in 2008 for free. Millions of people have watched. Almost no retail trader, founder, or negotiator has ever actually used the framework. His name is Ben Polak — Yale professor, former Provost of Yale, and one of the most-watched university lecturers in internet history. The 62-minute clip here is one lecture from ECON 159: Game Theory, taught to a packed auditorium of Yale undergrads in the fall of 2007. Over 24 lectures, Polak builds the entire mathematical foundation of strategic decision-making from the ground up. Dominant strategies. If one option beats every other option no matter what your opponent does, you take it — end of discussion. The reason the rest of game theory even exists is that dominant strategies almost never show up in real life. Nash equilibria. The point where nobody can improve their outcome by switching strategy on their own. Almost every price you've ever paid is a Nash equilibrium. Every wage negotiation, every auction bid, every trade in a market with millions of participants — it all converges to one, whether the people involved know it or not. Auctions. The mathematical difference between first-price sealed-bid, second-price sealed-bid, English ascending, and Dutch descending auctions is worth billions of dollars a year to whoever's running the auction. Google Ads runs on a modified second-price auction. eBay is an English ascending auction with proxy bidding baked in. Treasury bill sales run Dutch descending. Each format squeezes a different amount of value out of bidders — and almost none of them know which format they're actually playing. Evolutionary strategies. Why cooperation sometimes beats betrayal in games that repeat. Why the dead-simple tit-for-tat rule outperformed every sophisticated algorithm entered in Robert Axelrod's famous 1980 tournament. Why nearly every stable business relationship on earth, if you look closely, is just tit-for-tat wearing a suit. Every hedge fund pays entry-level quants specifically to walk in the door already knowing this. Every big tech company hires PhD game theorists just to design their pricing pages. Every major M&A negotiation gets priced by consultants who bill $2 million a deal to apply these exact same equations. Here's the first rule Polak teaches, every single semester, without fail: "Never play a strictly dominated strategy." He calls it the one rule game theory is completely certain about — zero exceptions. And retail traders break it constantly, every time they add to a losing position, because taking the loss feels worse in the moment than doubling down does. The lectures are free on Yale Open Courses. The 2007 problem sets and exams are still sitting online. Every equation Polak derives fits in under thirty pages of a textbook. The math costs nothing. Sitting through 24 hours of game theory before you open a bid box, a trading terminal, or walk into a negotiation — that's the rare part. Far rarer than the confidence to walk in without it.

  So, it seems @Apple 's only options for leasing are through @Klarna , eh? Let me regale you with my experience with Klarna. This is back in April. I notice eBay is running a special w/Klarna to get ~$100 off (or something similar) on an item I was interested in. So, I go through checkout, select Klarna yada yada yada. Well, that process didn't work so I had to sign up direct through Klarna. Ok, fine. Easy enough. Name, address SSN etc done and done. Go back to pay on eBay. It fails. Doesn't work. No reason. Just says "Try again or use different card." I do. Nothing. Contact service. They capped my limit at $1k (my item was more). In the meantine, items sold. Ok fine. Try eBay again for an item less. Same problem. Call them. Same deal (try different card or options). None work. I get an email from them saying payment didn't work because they can't verify me. Can't verify me?!?! They have: -My name, phone number, email, home address, social security number...WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T VERIFY ME?!?!? They want me to take a photo of my drivers license and send it to them. Keep in mind, this is presented to me over the phone to support, it honestly felt a little sketch. So, I didn't do it. I wanted a more official way to submit those via the app. Eventually, I did. Ok. *NOW* it should work. Tried again. Nope! Called. They said, "Oh your name has to match exactly on drivers lic and maybe that's why the system can't verify me." Oooooook. Mind you, it was, but we'll try again. Of course, *I* can't change that. So, I had to call and get them to change it on their end. Ok. Everything submitted, they've got all my info, name checked I'm good, yeah? NOPE! Payment failed again. So, the next support (called again, of course!) said, "Well if the payment plans fail, I need history of purchases so I should just buy the item outright." Ok, use Klarna to just buy the item in full? Sure, why not? Well, guess what? That wasn't an option I could select. No option, no card would work (tried 4 different cards). So, I tried to escalate. Eventually, I did get an escalation ticket (2, I think) assigned. They never looked at them despite me pestering. This was already like a 2 weeks of my time and trouble to try and get A SINGLE PURCHASE TO WORK with countless calls, chat sessions, etc. Needless to say, I was over it. So, naturally, I asked to delete my account. THEY COULDN'T. You know why? Because I had *an active complaint* with Klarna lol. So, the complaint I filed that they wouldn't look at which lead me to wanting to close my account blocked me from closing my account. I eventually lost my temper and sent them an email, and they finally closed my account.

  NVIDIA KILLED DRIVER SUPPORT FOR THESE IN 2018. HE BOUGHT TWO OFF EBAY FOR $150 ANYWAY AND SPENT A WEEKEND WATCHING THEM REFUSE TO POST. KIMI DOES THE SAME WORK FOR $19/MO 03:11 he's holding a molex adapter he already knows is a mistake and says "this is so not a good idea, like this is a pretty foolish idea, I should not be doing this really" 2 tesla k80s for $150 -> 48gb of vram on paper -> no video out on either card -> no video out on the motherboard either -> hunt down a single-slot gpu just to see BIOS -> the y-splitter that shipped with them is bridged wrong -> improvise from three 6-pin rails -> 266 watts at idle -> 6 beeps -> nothing on screen kepler shipped in 2014, nvidia cut cuda support in 2018, and datacenters dumped millions of these onto ebay where they still list as "AI accelerator, 24GB" because 24 is a bigger number than 12 and nobody checks the compute capability the honest part: he swapped both cards, pulled the sata power, ran one alone off the correct rails, and neither one posted, the host boots fine with the slot empty, $150 gone and the weekend with it 2x tesla k80 + dual xeon host + 3d printed 120mm shroud + molex-to-8pin adapters + 6 bios beeps + zero tokens generated watch and save it, then kill your $439 stack this weekend, kimi does the same work at $19 flat and the whole map is in the article below

  @afrocosmist Nothing wrong with used server drives. I've been running 2 HGST helium filled 10TB I got for $100 per on ebay for quite a while now. My NAS is a HP EliteDesk i7-6700 I got for $70. I use Unraid and Jellyfin and it runs pretty flawlessly.

  GotdemCards (@GotdemCards) reported 40 minutes ago

  yo eBay just started nuking a ton of those inhand listings for the leaked Pokémon TCG 30th Anniversary cards and merch 🚫 TPCi hit them up about the unauthorized drop and now they’re wiping the listings under the Stolen Property Policy. Sellers are getting messages saying the 30th Anniversary stuff ain’t even been officially distributed or dropped through legit channels yet 👀 eBay’s also saying these products probably came from outside the normal manufacturing pipeline. They’re telling sellers not to relist unless they can prove they got it from an authorized source 📄 this comes after weeks of 30th Anniversary product floating around online way before the official release, with people cracking packs and posting openings all over socials. PokeBeach said the earliest openings were popping off in Australia first, then other countries started showing up later 🌍 just the latest move from TPCi trying to shut down all the early sales through shady channels before the real drop 🚫

  @premiercards_2 I wonder if this is a timing issue. You made your offer, it was pending, an initial bid came in, and then the seller accepted the offer? I don't sell enough on eBay to know this, but do you know if a pending offer stays live after a bid has come in?

  Millions of Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and eBay sellers still write listings once and leave money on the table. Built Vendograph to fix that. The platform generates, keyword-optimizes, and split-tests product copy across every channel — then auto-deploys the winner. Live soon.
