  Why your AI eBay listings come out generic and the fix The mistake is structural. A fresh chat every time starts cold no memory of your inventory or standards. Generic in, generic out. The fix: a Claude Project. It stores instructions permanently, so you operate a trained specialist, not a blank chat. The key principle: authentication before pricing. The model confirms the item's era from the photos before it writes a word and never guesses. Why it matters: that step is the gap between a $25 listing and an $80 one. The edge was never the code. It's the instruction that runs first.

  @ebay morning. Been trying to navigate your support page, and haven’t been able to get proper assistance other than generic answers to an issue. I’m requesting to talk to a human being for assistance. Thank you,

  I'm seeing lots of issues recently with sending cards via eBay Standard Envelope. Seems a lot of post offices are cracking down on rigidity with toploaders, especially if the postage is less than $1.32 or 3 oz. I'm thinking of switching to card savers but customers seems to really like top loaders for pwe. Anyone ship out ESE with card savers and have any customer complaints?

  X completely disappeared the 1st attempt at this as a share post. Trying again. Take 2. eBay follow up: Judging by the responses to the OP, I'm late to the party about 'feeBay's' atrocious fee scheme, deceptively called "selling costs." Oh well. I'm going to shed some 'sunlight' on this anyway, on the slim chance that eBay might change their ways. I've been an eBay user almost from the beginning and have used it extensively in times past as both a buyer and a seller, with great results. I loved the way it used to be, but not anymore. This recent effort was based on my past experiences. I thought it would still be a great way to get my grandkids involved and let them earn some money, teach them a little about ecommerce and get rid of some old inventory in the process. I thought I'd begin with about 400 items, of the 1,000 or so I have of old, obsolete NOS car parts that eBay used to be perfect for. The results at this point are shocking to say the least. I hesitated to disclose the data publicly, on the fear they'd figure out which account is mine with that data and we'd just go from dismal, to abysmal, or the account just cancelled outright. But it's actually worse than I thought and my attitude now is: unless it changes I'm done anyway. So screw it. Here goes. Of about 400 items, only 43 have sold in 3 months, which itself is terrible for brand new, obsolete (hard to find), New Old Stock (NOS) items. After about 3 months, I thought everything would be gone by now. Worse than that though is the sales data, as shown in the annotated screenshot below, from my account seller profile last night. Of the $889.25 total sales, less taxes, our net is $359.56. All of my listings are 'buyer pays shipping,' so there's no shipping costs included in this data. That means the rest, $529.69 went to 'feeBay' in 'selling costs.' Doing the math, that's 59.6% of the total for: my materials, my work creating the listings, managing it, and my grandkids 'pick and pack' efforts. Basically 60% in fees!! And we get to keep 40.4% of that!?!? That's outrageous and a great way to kill what used to be a good company. @eBay, you've put yourself in a vulnerable position, leaving room for someone to startup a competitor that conducts business the way old eBay did, minimal fees, users making money in their spare time and having fun doing it. Maybe @X would? Your move, eBay. Choose wisely.

  People ask me all the time why I keep saying $OFFCHAIN belongs in the millions. I don't value projects based on today's candle. I value them based on what they're building, how fast they're executing, and the size of the market they're attacking. Let's start with the obvious. $OFFCHAIN isn't a one feature project. It's building an entire ecosystem around offline payments, privacy, trading, AI automation and crypto accessibility. The team already shipped: -offline transfers -offline stablecoin rails -AI agent -NFC payments -Amazon/eBay shopping with USDC -Chrome extension -privacy tools -perps and now distribution through the Solana dApp Store. Most projects would build a whole narrative around one of these features. These guys built all of them. Now look at the market opportunity. There are billions of people globally with poor internet connectivity. Governments shut down internet access. Mobile data fails. Infrastructure isn't equal everywhere. $OFFCHAIN is attacking a real world problem, not an imaginary crypto problem. Then look at the team. Every week there's another update, another product , another release , another integration. Then ask yourself, How many projects sitting at 5M, 10M, 20M+ valuations have less products than this? A lot. That's why I keep saying I think millions are coded. Not because of hype, not because I want a pump.Because when I compare valuation vs execution, the gap is still massive. The market eventually rewards teams that solve real problems. And I think many people are going to realize that far too late. CA: BPiECaSntw8LVGYimofpNcU5eKrjrSvKz5VY7mr9pump

  @Tetradugenikid initiate a return with ebay, you’ll get a return label to amazon. swap the item with some garbage back to amazon. either the dropshipper will get in trouble or amazon will just accept it and you get the item for free

  @Pittsburgh1Pete Same issue I’m going through but I have no eBay store, only an X account. Seems like a lot of work for minimal return. I mean what do I do with 500+ Stars of MLB from the last several years. Is there actually a market. Or just stick with player lots…and does that work?

  If this happens it destroys a giant set of jobs that became created! You think pokemon can’t fix the problem? Of course they can. But how many streamers are making a living off resells? How much is eBay and whatnot making? The ppl who own Pokemon prob have stock in some of these secondary markets. So they win twice!

  @KabutoKing_ @USPS That's likely a packaging and labeling issue. eBay sellers like to use the envelope service, but a padded mailer gets jammed in the sort equipment.

  Dork alert and contract question: I bought a football card on a non EBay-site for $70.00. It is one I collect and is worth about $125 if I were to sell it on EBay. Well the seller bailed and didn’t send me card. I got my $70 back but I feel my actual damages are $125 cost to replace. Not my problem he accepted my offer.

  Plan B Expat (@planbexpat) reported 51 minutes ago

  The “move abroad and keep your salary zero tax” math always works in the post. It rarely works in real life. The tax saving is real. Your income is the problem, and nobody selling the dream says so. If you’re an employee, your employer is the first wall. Most won’t keep you on payroll where they have no entity. Many enforce a hard 183 day rule. So you get pulled back, let go, or rarely, moved to a contractor. That last one is the only version where the zero even starts to work. “I’ll just find remote work.” Good luck. Everyone wants the same arbitrage, so the seats paying North American rates are brutally competed, and they increasingly want you in a North American timezone anyway. This works for people who own portable income. Software first. Services second. Ecommerce a distant third, since processors such as Etsy, even EBay or sometimes Amazon freeze you the moment they see a foreign IP. One filter for who to trust. The dream sellers - on TikTok, Youtube or those convincing you can sell digital products living abroad - earn from the course, not the life. The honest ones can show real income from what they built abroad. If someone only profits from telling you how easy it is, that’s the tell. That’s the only reason the tax line works for some. They obtained legal residency, severed ties with their home country, owned a portable business that worked from anywhere. Residency before you need it. The boring steps are the whole game.

  If Gamestop goes back down to $20 or $21 next week I can see Ryan Cohen buying a lot of GME shares He has turned the company around. His pay plan is $3.5b of buying anyway If hes going for an ebay merger i think he will want to sure up his ownership % beforehand

  Want to really change your life? Here’s what I did I accepted responsibility for my results. Not the economy. Not eBay. Not Facebook Marketplace. Not the auction company. Not bad luck. Me. When sales were slow, I looked in the mirror. When inventory wasn’t moving, I looked in the mirror. When I wasn’t making enough money, I looked in the mirror. It was the best lesson I’ve ever learned.

  @GrandpaRoy2 Disturbing to see that potentially capable 'affordable' AA systems may proliferate. You can't buy a MANPADS on ebay, but R7 you can. Unlikely to take down an airliner, but a real threat to light aircraft, I'd assume. I wonder if I could register one as a class C1 drone... :P

  $GME just blew past Q1 earnings by 172% and Ryan Cohen is waging a takeover bid for eBay. The community is buzzing that the short squeeze is imminent. Sales jumped 14% to $835.3 million, with collectibles soaring 65%. Ryan Cohen's bold $56 billion offer to buy eBay, while rejected, puts GME on the map for strategic moves. A new $2 billion buyback is also on the table. There's a 32% chance the stock climbs from here, driven by 14.1% short interest and the narrative momentum from Cohen's actions. If buyers step in to bet against the shorts and the collectibles trend continues, prices could get a lift. However, the stock sits below its longer-term average price, a sign that the overall trend is still pointing down. With eBay already saying no to Cohen's offer, and fundamental doubts still present for a retailer, there's a 34% chance the stock could fall further if enthusiasm fades. Keep an eye on any further moves by Ryan Cohen or the collectibles segment's performance in the next report.
