Karl “Freight Train” Marx the Seventh, S.J. (@marxseventh) reported@JayStrellson @antonydavies It’s also bizarre that the problem is the people subsidizing Walmart to pay workers below sustenance, but you want to talk about eBay. Eliminate profit, and Walmart will have plenty of money to pay workers.

Grailbot.ai (@GrailbotAI) reportedebay sellers love slapping "PSA 10" in a title. The problem is: some of them are lying. 🚩 GrailScore now only scores a grade when it clearly includes a reputable grader: PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, etc. Something like "OCE 10" or "potential PSA 10" no longer inflates a card's score.

Raildig (@Raildig) reportedI was shooting quick little videos on the phone for pieces I'm putting up on eBay today and before taking down the test track sections, I popped this $20 steam loco chassis on the track. I bought this with a bunch of random pieces a couple months back but hadn't run any of it yet. This chassis in N scale, tiny and light as a feather so I wasn't expecting much from it to be honest. I was kind of shocked that without any additional weight on it, it ran this well. As a nice bonus... it sounds great! Sound to me is a big deal with model trains. Too many are a bit screechy / grinding, etc. For me that really hurts the enjoyment. I'm sort of obsessed with the whole "model railroading is too expensive" thing I hear so often. Of course it can be, but a chassis like this, at $20, opens up so many possibilities. We'll be shooting videos on these low prices chassis and what they can mean for the hobby! I really was knocked out by this train.

GME BITCOIN (@gme_bitcoin) reported@evan12286 @ryancohen Weak. Naked shorting have been real problems before, but claiming every GME offering is a secret prime broker bailout with zero hard evidence is cope. Company raised cash,built a fortress, now hunting eBay. Thats the execution.If you want real change, demand better enforcement.

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedMid-way through last year, somebody won an auction for a stapler from $GME that was listed on eBay, and it made national news. There was a charity component to that auction and a further donation from the winner, that was super cool and made the whole thing super wholesome. I believe it was the first official listing from GameStop's then-new eBay account, which is cool to think about in retrospect. But then, that person and his team, almost immediately, started using this recognition and reach to promote something called GameStop on Ethereum, a shitcoin that has absolutely nothing to do with GameStop. A bunch of influencers from the community helped him, and he even had big names with 1M+ followers talking about how "cool" it was that this guy was buying up this shitcoin that is backed by absolutely nothing, because it had limited supply. A lot of poeple bought in, both to the shitcoin and the hype. They used GameStop's nationwide and social-wide recognition to promote their agenda of buying this shitcoin. I raised alarm bells and even messaged the person directly, as well as some of his friends and associates saying how wrong it was that they were using the GameStop cash tag to promote this crap without clarifying that it had nothing to do with GameStop and it was a really bad look, not just for the person doing this, but for GameStop as well to be associated with this shitcoin. That is already a wide-ranging problems on many crypto platforms, and actions like this from people that know better makes this problem worse. They even had a physical event that they claimed was GameStop sponsored at first, but then GameStop had them remove their logo and any mentions of official sponsorship from GameStop from their event page. Well, a picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe in this case a picture is worth millions of dollars. Not cool. I have all of that person and his teams shenanigans blocked, but please beware of crypto scams associating themselves with GameStop. One thing I hope that comes from the Clarity act is more enforcement, and some harsh criminal repercussions for defrauding the general public. If they make an example of a few, everyone else will fall in line and take their scams elsewhere.

TH MOTOR (@Tomorihezekiah) reported@DBankrichards Import has its own pros and cons The biggest disadvantage of imported cars in UK market apart from several other things is 1. Available of right part 2. Getting the car insured So if your imported car develop a problem which is normal for all used cars, when you drive into Lexus in uk to get the part, they won’t have and they cannot ride it for you And sadly you will not get parts on eBay. Even to change windscreen (general glass will not have glass for you) The second issue I know a car that’s been on sale for over 12 months now, not because it wasn’t sold. Different buyer came, made payment but they are unable to get the car insured, so they return it. And the insurance also tends to charge higher premiums for no reason on imported cars.

macaddiced (@macaddicted) reported@conquistadorof1 @brad_polumbo I apologize for stealing your car and breaking it down for parts. Now back to the eBay listings. Saying you, or your society, has done something wrong and not ACTING to fix it is useless grandstanding.

Trivikrama M (@trivikrama_m) reportedPayPal tried to buy Stripe in 2013. Stripe said NO. 13 years later: Stripe is offering $53 billion for PayPal. Here’s the timeline that still feels unreal: 2013: Stripe is 3 years old. Raised $40M. PayPal (still owned by eBay) makes a bid. John Collison’s pitch to the PayPal founders: “Payments on the internet are totally broken.” They get it. The company doesn’t. Deal dies. 2014: PayPal buys Braintree for $800M instead (and gets Venmo as a freebie). Stripe does $7B in volume and hits a $1.75B valuation. Next decade Stripe volume compounds at 70% a year. Braintree at 43%. Last year alone: Stripe → $1.9 trillion Braintree → $600 billion 2026: Stripe hits a $159B secondary valuation. Then teams up with Advent and drops a $53B offer for PayPal. 50/50 ownership. $50B in bank financing already committed. The company that once looked too small is now trying to buy the one that was too big to fail. Internet moves fast. Pride moves slower.

'L/7,cpt. $leepin' Valley fitness ex-yo0h (@nekobobachris) reportedI wonder how many families @ebay has torn apart due to their terrible service, yet #ebaysucks does nothing for their customers inconvenience, instead they ban their customers who's been screw'd over to cover up their mistakes, instead of punishing the seller who sends the wrong product of lesser value than what was originally been purchased, 🙏 please let ebay go out of business, to save the children of the future

Corey Dissin (@BigDaddyDissin) reportedThe Mack Daddy of all excuses: "I CAN'T AFFORD IT." "I can't afford it" is usually code for one of three things: 1) "I'm scared to invest the money I have unless I'm guaranteed a result." Spending money on information guarantees you a big bag of Jack Squat. The pay-MENT, no matter how much $ it is, does not create the pay-DAY. Consistently implementing the information you purchase over a sustained period of time allows you a fighting chance. The true ROI (RETURN ON INVESTMENT) is a product of your ROI (RATE OF IMPLEMENTATION). So while you waffle and kick the can down the road, you'd rather stare at that those numbers in your check book to feed your insecurity and your scarcity mindset ("What if things go wrong?") instead of putting that money to work for you by having a mindset of confidence and abundance ("What if things go right?"). 2) "I don't want to work extra to earn extra income." So, you're too good or too special to Door Dash or Uber? (I got news for you. . .When I wanted to generate additional revenue to fund my entrepreneurial ventures, I did everything from bounce at bars, to selling Christmas trees, to setting up inflatable moon-bounce rides, even while I was working 50-60 hours a week running a national production company). I guess Netflix, video games, doom scrolling and sleeping late are all higher priorities for you. 3) "I'm too lazy to utilize alternate ways to obtain financing." Uh, have we not heard of credit cards? Personal loans? Business lines of credit? Selling clothes or other gently-used items on Poshmark, Ebay, or Facebook Marketplace? Many WILDLY successful entrepreneurs funded their ventures with DEBT before they made it big because they believed that one day they WOULD make it back in spades. How bad do you REALLY want it? Bad enough to stop using the Mack Daddy of all excuses? Let's find out. Hit up to set up your complimentary DISS-covery call. #voiceover #voiceovers #voicetalent

Tyler ''pronouns idiot'' Foster 🤖 (@tylergilfoster) reported@eBay I also tried to report the forgery using confirmed examples from an official website where they still have autographed merch up, but it didn't help; @eBay won't take down the storefront full of fakes or save that user from buying a rip-off item.

Tim (@trobdawk4) reported@BasedFriarSD I put it on eBay. Not sure what it’s worth but I found 3 others ranging from 150-300, so I priced it in that range. Didn’t want to be the guy that set the comp way too low. If you’re a buyer in that price range I’ll post a link, otherwise, just wait, that price may come down.

John Ʌ Konrad V (@johnkonrad) reportedI have dealt with a lot of theft and fraud in my life. It comes with the job of being a ship captain. The problem is never the theft. It’s the work the theft creates. Someone once stole a $500 radio out of our lifeboat. Five hundred dollars is a rounding error on a rig burning a million a day. Everyone had a pretty good idea who took it, but he almost certainly dropped it over the side, so there was no evidence, and with no evidence there was no reprimand. That $500 radio, a safety critical item, cost us hundreds of man hours. Paperwork. An investigation. New HR anti-theft training for every soul on board. Remedial steps to make sure it never happened again. Then a helicopter to fly the replacement out. That is the real cost of fraud in any system. For every dollar stolen, hundreds go to the agencies and nonprofits that exist to “fix” the problem. The theft is the seed. The compliance apparatus is the tree. The only real fix is to fire the people everyone already knows are stealing. HR will never allow it, because the entire anti-radio-theft ecosystem that grew up around the loss would collapse overnight. The ecosystem needs the thief more than the thief needs the radio. And theft is spectacularly inefficient on its own terms. Even if he got that radio ashore, it was worth maybe two hundred used on ebay. We spent tens of thousands to replace three hundred dollars of value that no longer existed anywhere in the world. It would have been WAY cheaper to hand him the radio and a receipt. That is the part nobody in the fraud-prevention business wants said out loud: the loss is almost never what breaks you. What breaks you is everything the institution builds to prove it responded. The saddest truth is it would be far cheaper to just send every Somali home with a million dollars each. They would be happier. We would be happier. Everyone would be better off except the NGOs

Stinky (@stinkywinkle) reported@MarioBrothBlog Man I remember when I was a kid I played my cousin $10 for his game boy camera. He said he’d bring it next time he visited, but it was a full year later and he’d forgotten. My heart was broken. Don’t know why I didn’t just get one off of eBay, I think it was 2003 or 4.

frank rosyrat (@FRosyrat96857) reported@eBay Order #27-14895-18623 — 10-year seller, 110+ five-star reviews, no negatives, no dormancy. Watch band ($350, delivered Jul 24) is on a flat 30-day hold, funds not available until Aug 24. I shipped it out in 1 day, and I’ve sold watch parts/bezels before with no issue, and cleared $1,000+ items with funds released within days of delivery. Two other orders shipped the same week are showing funds will typically be available 30 days after delivery. This one’s the outlier. Support has only pointed me to the generic “high priced items or unusual selling patterns” policy language, which doesn’t explain why this specific transaction was flagged. Can someone check the actual risk/fraud flag on this order and tell me the real reason, not the boilerplate? I’m absolutely livid and done with eBay if my funds are t released within a reasonable name time frame. I’m not a bank and just loan out my **** only to me paid back months later. You treat your sellers- your top sellers like ****. Make hundreds off advertising and selling fees and then hold my money as if it’s not even mine.
