    @JesseBallCards @CardPurchaser @eBay You charged $1.32 for shipping... The label you bought was $1.36... Youre losing money from a simple shipping label.... The buyer pays for it so its not like its coming from your profit.. Unless you dont charge enough... The problem isnt ebay.. Its you.. Simple as that

    @eBay how are you going to fix this? An AI scan isn’t going to cut it.

    I love my job, but sometimes my clients drive me batty. Today I have to go to a client to set up a piece of equipment that he bought off eBay. No problem, I never complain if someone doesn’t buy from me because they found a great deal. Just make sure it’s a great deal. This client (who I’ve only done one other job for) doesn’t like that I’m charging him $1k for the software to run the machine and my time to install it. His great eBay deal didn’t come with the software and the manufacturer only lets you download it free for models they still support (his is older). Long story short, I’m the bad guy for not giving product away and for charging a fee to install equipment I didn’t sell him. Btw I will be withholding the activation code until payment is received which gives him 30 days, then it stops working just in case he decides to be more of a pita.

    @RobertMSterling @EODHappyCaptain @LEGO_Group Yea even Lego gets hit by the repackage/return scam. Happens all the time in tech. And some of the Amazon 3rd party sellers seem to have an error rate approaching some of the eBay stuff now. High trust societies are important for a lot of reasons.

    @JesseBallCards @CardPurchaser @eBay eBay pockets 3.80. You pay extra because you’re either a slow shipper or you neglected a refund request. The government takes 2 dollars and the shipping company takes another dollar.

    @CarrMillite @RoyalMail Royal Mail are shocking. I sold something on eBay. Packed it, sent it and Royal Mail lost it. Refused to reimburse me and said it was eBay’s problem. EBay say it’s Royal Mails issue. I had to refund the parcel even though it was not my fault. I’m down £70 now

    @JesseBallCards @SatchelPrice I have one bad review because I canceled seconds after a person bought. Didn’t realize one card was still part of a lot I had but the casing broke from PSA. Refunded within maybe 30 seconds. Didn’t message me. Days later I saw they left me a negative review saying that I decided not to sell and I messaged them with the photo and said should I have been a **** and sent you a broken product? I hate eBay but I hate eBay people more I think.

    Qwen 3.8 Flash Next is an absolutely masterful architecture. I just resurrected a dinosaur build with it and got 18.4tps without any optimizations or spec decoding. Just wait until you hear the hardware stack: Ryzen 2700, old mining rig with a single 3080, 48 GB of completely mismatched sticks of DDR4. Tried running Qwen 3.8 Flash Next on the 3080 split to system ram, Ngram page file on the SSD, and got 2.4 tokens per second. Just wanted to try and see, but certainly not usable. Slapped the Nvidia V100 in with the 3080, added a bunch of layers to it (this is over PCIE 3 x8 btw, which is crazy slow) Immediately jumped to 18.4tps! Layers on the 3080, layers on the v100, layers in RAM, N gram on the SSD! This is without MTP, and the first result I got. Running Q1 but could probably fit a much higher quant now that we got the Frankenstein offload setup working. @Alibaba_Qwen is making efficiency and distributed computing changes that are completely unmatched. I can't wait to see where MTP and Dflash will take this on old hardware I just had lying around, plus a v100. Jerryrigs are about to become a lot more relevant! You could genuinely get a v100 off of eBay for $650 and slap it in the spare slot of your old gaming rig to do this!

    Just like to say I'm not enjoying AI at all How about You?? Ever since businesses started using AI, my life has become hell. I cannot buy anything at a decent price online. AI will either say my non-standard address is an illegitimate address or it doesn't exist, and it sways many, many good deals away from me where they refuse to ship to my non-standard address, thinking it's incorrect, and I end up not being able to buy on eBay 90% of the time. I can get three out of 10 packages delivered if I'm lucky; it's very discouraging, and I miss out on 90% of all the good deals. Not just on eBay, it's on Amazon, on Walmart, on all e-commerce stores because they're all having problems with this damn AI mingling in our addresses and making non-standard addresses illegitimate addresses, and it's hell for the poor, especially the elderly poor who have a hard time communicating I wish AI would get bumped, nuked, or destroyed. I'm an old-school computer tech from the '90s still managing, maintaining, servicing, and repairing my computers and devices. I use several Linux distros, which I find a lot more convenient, useful, and trustworthy than any Microsoft product or version of Microsoft Windows with all of the updates and manipulation to control the people's systems. It has destroyed my faith in Microsoft, and just when it looked like life was becoming something worth living and a technical world turning into something useful and enjoyable, they would have to drag AI, the real monster, into our lives, and today it's a living hell, and I wish somebody could hear my words. AI has a way of making sure nobody ever hears our voices anymore or hears me. I've noticed time and time again it's got control of people, and nobody's paying attention to what AI is really doing to people who don't have the abilities to properly articulate or communicate—people who are not so healthy physically and/or mentally or not schooled much don't spell or type very well, like me. Even though I am pretty tech-savvy, I'm nearly 70 years old and struggling these days now more than ever before. If there were ever a time I would be tempted to leave this world, if I didn't worry about where I would spend eternity, it would be easy, and I cringe at getting older or staying alive in this world the way it is now or what it's becoming to me and other human beings; it's a real nightmare that many who are like me are living in today.

    @SawyerMerritt I'd point a bot at my garage full of dead electronics. It IDs every model, pulls repair guides and part prices, checks eBay, and builds me a fix-or-sell list. Then a second bot lists everything it says to sell. Two bots, one clean garage

    @phillycardboard Two things here… One, people don’t understand how a business runs. If a card is going for $1000 and they give you $850, they are banking on the fact that card does not go down in value. But they also have to pay for the building and the employees and all of that. And eBay takes 10-13%, and don’t need to deal with shipping etc. Two, this is awesome because I live in St. Louis and I love to have another option!

    @askebay I am completely locked out of my eBay account. When trying to sign in, the security system prompts a legacy verification screen asking me to call the phone number ⁠02 006 31 268⁠, which is disconnected There is no option to choose, creating an endless loop.

    @EcommerceBytes I changed mine to pass on the discounting shipping already because it seems most buyers are fed up with the USPS hikes. The only problem with this is that eBay calculates shipping into the seller fees so it becomes a slight loss for the sellers.

    There’s no maths behind that number. Revenue of $5M or $10M tells you nothing about whether an ad account will make money. Margin and payback do. At $700k, 80 cent margins, money back inside a quarter, go and buy traffic on Monday. A $12M business scrapping over insurance keywords might never make paid work at any level of spend. Nobody invoices you for content and outreach, so everyone files them under free. Twenty founder hours a week on cold outreach is the priciest acquisition channel in the company. You’ll never see it in the CAC number. The most cited evidence against paid search is Blake, Nosko and Tadelis in Econometrica, 2015. They ran shutoff experiments at eBay. Brand keywords showed no measurable short-term benefit. On non-brand keywords, new and infrequent users did respond, while heavy users who responded to nothing absorbed most of the spend, so average returns were negative. Everybody quotes that and stops. eBay was turning over about $14 billion a year. It was paying to reach people who already knew who it was. The lift sat with the strangers. When nobody has heard of you, they’re all strangers. So the advice is to build until everyone knows your name, then start buying ads at roughly the point the evidence says they stop paying for themselves. The cost argument is upside down too. If auctions keep getting dearer, the cheapest tuition on offer is a bad $4k month with nobody watching. Learning the same lesson at $400k a quarter, with a board in the room, is a very different afternoon.
