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 people 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. 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.

Keith Violette (@AirRocketGlider) reported@gak_pdx I can't like this tweet enough. I prefer the Juice XE6, I have one in my left front pocket for 20 years. Sucks that they discontinued them. I've had to find used ones on eBay. Considering trying to rebuild the broken ones by replacing the rivets.

ClickHole (@ClickHole) reportedA traffic jam that makes you late for a job interview. A cousin’s funeral that forces you to miss a sick bachelorette party. You may have had bad timing cause issues in your life, but it’s likely nothing compared to the bad timing that totally robbed this man of a once-in-a-lifetime experience: This man missed the birth of his daughter because he got an email announcing changes to the terms and conditions in eBay’s user agreement just as his wife went into labor. Ugh, eBay…Why’d you have to do this man like that? When 28-year-old fishing guide Calvin Porter and his wife, 38-year-old fellow fishing guide Anita Porter, got pregnant, Calvin spent the pregnancy anticipating the birth of his first child as if it were Christmas morning. But when Anita’s water broke at 2 a.m. last Thursday, Calvin opened his phone to check the weather, and his heart sank. The message sat at the top of his inbox: There had been an update to eBay’s user agreement, and it was a big one. While much of the text of eBay’s terms and conditions remained the same boilerplate fine print that Calvin had agreed to when he signed up as an eBay user back in 2014 to sell a small collection of seashells he’d found at a garage sale, bullet points in the email outlining the updates showed that the Disclaimer of Warranties and Vehicle Purchases and Sales sections had seen some updates that he’d have to go over before he’d be able to hold his wife’s hand while she gave birth to their precious daughter. “I’ll be there as soon as I can!” Calvin said hurriedly as he kissed his heavily pregnant, contracting wife and shoved her into a cab along with the “go bag” they’d packed three months prior in anticipation of this very event. He rushed back inside, put a pot of coffee on, and fired up his laptop to dive into all the fine print he’d have to agree to before continuing as a responsible eBay user, trying to push away the images of his beautiful wife bringing their daughter into the world all alone. This is definitely the bummer of all bummers. Obviously eBay had no idea they’d be robbing Calvin of such a magical experience when they chose to send out this update at 11:46 p.m. that night, and you can’t expect a corporation not to cover all its legal bases just because people might be having kids. Hopefully Calvin and Anita get pregnant again soon and give birth at a time when Calvin is free from updates to Citi’s Online User Agreement or DraftKings’ Terms of Use so he can finally experience the magic of becoming a father in person. Such a bummer!

Ghost_of_a_Mike (@amike_ghost) reported@WVmotoguy @T00ManyCommies Yeah. I looked around on eBay and found cases but hadn't looked for the whole engine. I need to just tear it down and see how many of the spinning pieces are in pieces.

(NoColor-Check) Jay Ashworth (@_Baylink) reportedHey, @firefox, @ebay? Arrange a meeting. Pages take tens of seconds to render, and images tens of seconds to load, on your site, with *your* browser. Same machine, Chrome: same URL renders faster than I can measure it. Long time problem, just finally pissed enough to report.

Only 89 listed for sale on eBay 321 NM on TCG Player 163 LP on TCG Thinking about slowing down buying for a bit and letting the market cool. These are getting tough to buy out at this price. I think I blew up too fast 😳 #Pokemon ——> #Lorcana

domoshi (@heydomoshi) reportedWith GameStop's $2B share buyback authorization, the timing of what comes next is critical. Anything can happen, but here are some thoughts that came up while I was on the toilet this morning. I believe GameStop would start buybacks prior to a tender offer for eBay, since SEC rules prohibit a company from buying shares once a tender offer is announced (unless a private sale contract was already signed before the announcement). As the buyback shrinks the float, it puts upward pressure on the stock price. Once the stock rips past the warrant's $32 strike price, those warrants get exercised and GameStop raises nearly $2B in cash. ADDITIONALLY, they also have authorized shares ready to issue directly into the higher prices to raise a CRAPLOAD more cash. Spend a fraction of cash at the bottom to reduce the float, and raise exponential cash at the top by selling into the highs. Then the math can math. TLDR: GameStop $GME $EBAY

Lior Pozin (@lior_pozin) reportedA stupid simple way to start a SaaS: Few years ago (at a conference), people asked me how I manage my own business. I told them I have software that automatically runs 100 eBay accounts for me. They wondered and asked how they could use it for their own businesses too. I told them, “It's not open to the public, but let's stay in touch.” I got their phone numbers. Added them to my WhatsApp. Saved them as a list: eBay 1, eBay 2, eBay 3. I started to build the software for them. I asked them: if I release it, would you use it? They said yes. We went public with a better version for a few weeks for free, and then straight away started charging. So if you're starting now: 1. Build a tool that solves your own problem. 2. Talk to people with the same problem. 3. Let them use your solution for free. 5. Build what they ask for. 6. Charge. You already know your first step. Go do that one.

Footy Headlines (@Footy_Headlines) reported𝑭𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒗𝒔 𝑶𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝑪𝒖𝒑 𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒔 The official FIFA World Cup 2026 sleeve badges, produced exclusively by Avery Dennison, are heavily restricted and only made available for national federations and Adidas. Because these authentic patches are not available to buy separately on the open market, and Adidas has recently experienced severe stock shortages ahead of the tournament, the secondary market has become the default destination for kit enthusiasts. Consequently, counterfeit patches sold on platforms like eBay are currently the only option for many fans looking to customize their bare jerseys, flooding the market with unauthorized replicas. Huge thanks to DimMyEyess for these great vs images. With no official options available for many, the fakes are a convenient alternative, but they come with several noticeable little errors that separate them from the official product. Most prominently, the fake World Cup badges are bigger than the official ones.

Mako (@Mako_collects) reported@MrMoon198587 yeah, i somehow convinced a seller on ebay to go down from $175 to $135, every other listing is sadly $200+

Michael (@LazySwimCoach) reported@Eriball22 My God, the sheepish Sunday night walk down the stairs to say, "I think I might have something in my backpack that I forgot." There is NO reason to force me to relive that in order to open my eBay account.

Prospect Card Radar (@PC_Radar) reported@KineticHbyHouse Access to actual sold data seems to be the hardest nut to crack (for free anyway), AI can only do so much but without access to sold data it wasn’t giving me great results. I am paying for api access for eBay sold data now through 3rd party since eBay has really locked down who they give access to thier Marketplace Insights API these days (I’ve been rejected but don’t really know why and eBay developer network portal is one of the worst user experiences ever)
