  @BosCardHunter Just had an order showed delivered recently and it wasn’t a ES order. My mail that was delivered that day and another eBay package all showed delivered at 1:37 pm at box. This one showed 10:37 am. $4.99 Samad Taylor auto…..so I didn’t make a fuss or go down to post office.

  @AmmarNasirMD I was just checking some out on eBay and they’re reselling for almost $400 but I don’t feel like overpaying for it honestly. I’d rather get some shirts down the line or the black Nba final hat

  @card_history @UpperDeckSports In 1999 Upper Deck told me about a few of the first Patch cards ever made. The best and worst as they put it. The WORST was a yet unreleased employee card with a distinct error i how the patch was inserted. A few months later the first Jordan employee card was released. After years of looking I never found the Jordan card that was described. The 'best' patch they described is attached. I found it after years of searching the newsgroups, sportsnet and ebay.

  @SonicBlueRanger The prices for them on eBay aren’t terrible in all fairness, given that not all that many copies were published. It just depends if you’re willing to spend anywhere from £30 to nearly £50 a piece for them.

  Sean (@firinzlol) reported 36 minutes ago

  @ThePokeMD It’s fine had a similar issue before. eBay rep basically said if it is a fake card then it will always get rejected so this “miscategorization” isn’t related to authenticity etc

  Just bought 180 tested video games across generations for about $2.50-$3 / game. The previous batch was $2/game. Sounds crazy when you can see on eBay some of these only selling for $6-8. But I also see something that made me question this. 52 minutes south of me a video game store exists that sells these games for at least $20+ The same games you’d comp on eBay for much less. Why? Because it’s hard to trust random sellers and in this niche I’ve see people want to buy from people they like, people they trust and people they vibe with. Therefore I’m buying a disc refurbishment machine and offering a “warranty” to my future customers where if a disc stops working, we’ll fix it to the best of our ability. I’m also packaging games with the consoles we test and increasing the prices and will have a branded website off of marketplace platforms. Does this take reselling to the next level? Yes. Will it be difficult for me? No. It’ll actually be quite fun and we’ll act a little bit like game informer for retro games. If it doesn’t workout? Cool. If it does? That’s a fun way to resell.

  @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

  Day 208 Total sales: $737.96 eBay earnings: $504.99 Buy cost (COG): $82.27 Net profit: $422.72 ROI: 514% Items sold: Electrical equipment, printer ink, printer parts, automotive transmission parts, marine electronics, & a toilet repair component. Another strong day. $737 in sales & over $422 in net profit from just 7 completed sales. What stands out to me is the variety. Electrical, automotive, marine, printing, plumbing, you don't necessarily need to specialize in one category to build a profitable eBay business. You need to get good at finding the right products at the right price. That's still the biggest lesson I've learned through this journey. A $100 sale isn't nearly as exciting if you paid $90 for it. But when you can consistently find inventory for a fraction of its potential selling price, the numbers start working in your favor. Today's $82.27 in COG turned into $422.72 in profit. That's the game. Buy right. List consistently. Be patient. Keep improving. 208 days down. On to Day 209. 📦💪

  @Oscvr9_ Hello! Best way to price sealed is to refer to eBay last solds for sealed - do not count any unsealed. Often I find issue with sold items under “best offer” and the listed price being the sold price. For this reason I always use 130point to get most accurate prices w/ offers.

  @CardPurchaser How many cards are being sent now at $80? I doubt everyone will stop. Plus ebay showed me a 49.99 grade with psa offer on a card i was looking at so some people are probably using that. This could be the new model. Prices may never come back down.

  @thewebbie @amazon The fluctuating delivery times I can live with; I just expect that as a result of the many variables inherent in online shopping. The packaging quality, however, is a big problem. Amazon built its sales volume on cut-rate shipping deals with USPS and UPS that other retailers couldn't match. That could hold out unless -guess what- we suffer an inflationary period driving up energy and labor costs. Now they can't afford to pay for proper boxes, packing, and skilled workers to sort & pack properly. (For anyone with an eBay side hustle you know that's actually quite a skill). So I concur that the amount of large items shipped in cheap envelopes is increasing, meaning we get more broken and missing stuff. Amazon will keep doing this until the cost of refunds and returns overwhelm the packaging savings...and I fear the end of the "free shipping" era is near.

  Most people never see the inversion coming. They see the crash. The coup. The empty bank account. The factory that will not ship. Then they analogize: more staff, more robots, more of last year’s stack. Innovators do the opposite. They stay in the problem until the cost curve breaks. PayPal ousted Musk in 2000 for pushing a rebrand and a Unix-to-Windows NT migration. He did not wage a public war. He stayed a shareholder. eBay paid $1.5 billion in 2002. His ~11.7% stake — about $180 million — funded SpaceX and Tesla. By late 2008 both companies were days from death. Three Falcon 1 failures. Tesla about to miss payroll. One last rocket. Flight 4 worked on September 28. NASA signed $1.6 billion in December. He put his remaining cash into a $20 million Tesla bridge that closed Christmas Eve. Analogical thinking said “stop.” Physics said “one more launch.” Reusable first stages. Manual labor where the robots jammed. 5,000 Model 3s a week after he ripped out the over-automated line and slept on the floor. 75% of Twitter’s headcount gone so the cost of running the network inverted. That is not grit as a slogan. That is inverting labor, capital, and infrastructure until unit economics work. Follow people who have innovated at least once. Not the ones narrating the next analog. I built a platform to help average people think like that before you commit the capital. More on that soon. This is 100% a real interview LOL

  TL;DR Sales down, profits up, cash lower because they turned the eBay options into real shares. • Sales: $780–800M vs $972M last year. Drop is mostly Switch 2 anniversary, store closures, and selling France. • Operating income: $150–170M vs $66M. Core operations got a lot more profitable. • Net income: $290–310M vs $169M. Includes ~$238M eBay gain, minus ~$75M digital-asset loss. • Cash: $5.05–5.07B vs $8.69B last year. Cash fell because they converted the eBay derivatives into 43.4 million eBay shares, now worth about $4.95B. • Full results drop September 8.

  @boomboomfaia Yeah we had to turn off shipping TO the EU because of LUCID and the new PPWR rulings (US based issue for Etsy/Ebay) But I do believe acggoods does handle most of that since they are the ones producing and shipping the items. Only thing is the tariffs but that is customer based

  @TucsonToucan @SaffronOlive I have seen worse out of WotC. I remember War of the Spark: Mythic Edition on eBay and ordering 2 of them. WotC had 12k units and a "glitch" caused over 40k to be sold. I ended up with an uncut M/R foil sheet as my order was canceled. After that WotC started Secret Lair.

  @selStreams @austeregrim @RDKLInc You can't buy CPAPs, for example, on eBay. They are class II medical devices and their requires a doctor's prescription. Some people have tried to get around that by selling a CPAP travel bag for $300, which just so happened to have a CPAP in it. But eBay has cracked down on that, too. Not all medical devices require a prescription, though.
