  @allset24 you could "fix" those 26,000 ebay listings with a relatively simple MS Excel formula and then re-upload with the Edit form in Seller Reports. Also, what do you do with duplicates? Batch number gets you to the batch, but then that doesnt allow for duplicate cards in the batch.

  @TonyClimate @eBay I sold a $25 item and they refused to pay because I hadn't given them my SS#. They said it was in their updated terms. They send messages for everything but the important stuff. It's been 2 years, they still have the $25, but I took all my listings down. Garbage site.

  German mid-market sellers are losing margins to real-time price wars across Amazon, Otto, Kaufland and eBay. Built Marktluchs to fix that — autonomous AI agents watch prices, stock and delivery times 24/7, trigger reorders, and defend margins without humans in the loop.

  3/ Boring fix for side hustles, eBay shops, offices, churches, HR swag, moms shipping to kids: 1) cheap USB scale 2) measure the packed mailer/box 3) stop one flat ship price for all US 4) buy commercial labels, not counter rates 5) no monthly fee until you need ops software

  @zebular0 @SimulatedLie @gamestop Maybe RC wants to convert all the debt into shares, freeing GME from debt? Who imagined two convertible note offerings in 2025? Yet it happened! I think there is a possibility—and that is why we gave him the authority to issue 2.5 billion shares, supposedly for an acquisition. Why doesn't RC come out and deny that he will pursue the eBay acquisition? He stays silent! How can we keep trusting RC?

  @DreyfusJames James, I don't know what your parcel is, but if it's something from a retailer, or an ebay purchase etc, your contract is with them and not Evri. Get onto the seller to sort it out, they will have to deal with Evri once your issue is corrected.

  The eBay check that bought PayPal in 2002 funded the founders of Tesla, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Palantir. The deal was announced on July 8, 2002, on the front page of the New York Times business section. The article you are looking at is that story. It was written by Matt Richtel. It ran 900 words and treated the transaction as a routine consolidation between two internet companies that had been circling each other for years. The purchase price was one and a half billion dollars in eBay stock. Negotiated and closed in a week. eBay had spent the previous two years trying to build its own competing payment product called Billpoint, had put thirty five million dollars into it as recently as March 2002, and gave up. On the day the acquisition closed, eBay announced Billpoint was being shut down. This is what losing to a better product looks like written into an acquisition announcement. The details in the article are the boring version of the story. The interesting version happened in the six months after. PayPal had about a hundred and fifty employees at the time of the sale. Fewer than thirty of them held meaningful equity. When the eBay stock cleared, most of those thirty people had between five and one hundred and eighty million dollars in liquid capital. They were mostly under thirty five years old. Almost none of them wanted to stay at eBay. Peter Thiel walked out with about fifty five million dollars and used it to co-found Palantir the following year and to start Founders Fund two years after that. Elon Musk walked out with about one hundred and eighty million and put most of it into SpaceX, which he had founded three months earlier, and into Tesla, where he led the Series A in 2004. Reid Hoffman took his exit money and started LinkedIn in December 2002. Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim were engineers at PayPal who left with smaller checks and used them to start YouTube in 2005. Max Levchin took his money and eventually founded Affirm. Jeremy Stoppelman left and started Yelp. David Sacks left and started Yammer. Roelof Botha left PayPal's CFO seat and joined Sequoia, where he became one of the most successful venture investors of his generation. That group started to get called the PayPal Mafia around 2007 when Fortune ran a cover story on them, all standing around in Godfather suits. The combined value of the companies they founded, seeded, or ran after PayPal is over three trillion dollars. The eBay check that made all of that possible was a footnote in the 2002 New York Times business section. The reason the pattern is worth studying is that it is not really about the money. Twenty five people getting rich on the same day is a common story. It has happened a hundred times at other IPOs and acquisitions. The unusual thing is that this specific twenty five went on to found the next generation of the industry that had just paid them. Most exits produce quiet millionaires who buy houses in Palo Alto and take a decade off. PayPal's exit produced a wave of founders who started their next company within eighteen months. The best guess for why is not the capital. It is the confidence and the network. When you have built one thing that worked and cashed out at thirty two, and everyone in your closest circle also built one thing that worked and cashed out at thirty two, the psychological cost of starting the next one drops to almost zero. You do not need to raise from strangers. Your first ten investors are your former colleagues. Your first hire is somebody who used to sit two desks away. I keep this article printed on my wall as a reminder that the deals that look small in the moment are the ones that seed the next twenty years. The check was one and a half billion dollars. The return, measured across the next two decades of companies, was closer to three trillion.

  @Counterfeit_Rpt @eBay eBay turned counterfeiting into a revenue stream. Charge fees to prove items aren't fake. The bigger the fraud problem, the more they justify charging to fix it.

  @TonyClimate @eBay Wait till you try to get a hold of @Uber. I had a billing issue because of a screw up between business and personal (I hate that they force me to mix accounts) and couldn’t get a ride scheduled that I had to have. No way to contact them. Finally had to blast on SM to get help.

  @dj38409 @ri1eypaige @USPS Yes, I’ve sold plenty of times on eBay. Never had an issue with a product arriving damaged. It comes out of your pocket so you should factor it into your price. How am I entitled for wanting the product I paid for to arrive in the condition I paid for?

  @RobsRips You keep saying “offering 60%” like there’s a firmly established realistic market. There’s not. There’s some people on eBay buying early based on early success. Like anything, it’s just gonna go down. I just literally paid $800 for the same card. If you think it’s $1300, fine lol

  These aren’t accusations, just talking out loud about an “odd” feeling. I feel as a matter of opinion that PSA is going to be bankrupt and seized in the next several years and executives brought in on RICO charges. There is a direct circular link between the skyrocketing value of sports cards and PSA revenues. I’m not saying it’s happening, but essentially PSA can buy a PSA 9 or 10 card from itself on EBay for 5-10x the price the same card sold for from a respected (former) grader BGS and cite it as the worth of a card, then charge EVERY person that submits that card substantially more money (hundreds to thousands of dollars) to be graded. Well of course that would never work, because that would mean people could buy a $45,000 MJ Rookie card graded BGS gem mint and send it into PSA with $20,000+ to make it worth $350,000. A massive spiraling disconnect that screams RICO crime. Oh then PSA just bought BGS to help fix “that” problem. Major cracks are forming and reportedly “lost” value on PSA grading which is what has me thinking things are about to break fast. I’ve been unloading everything in the collection as cracks grow.

  These people on Ebay make it very hard for real collectors like me to have a decent chance at buying cards!! I wish @Topps could do more about this as it's a big problem. These people buy everything up and put it right on @eBay for double the price.

  @M_oass What if RC leaked the news on purpose to FUD eBay share price down so he can buy more at a lower price? It's only above $100 because of the news of GameStop making an offer. 🤔

  @TonyClimate @eBay There is a scam where a seller sells a bunch of cheep stuff to build up positive feedback numbers and then lists a bunch of GPU’s or expensive computers for sale that they never had and never deliver, absconding with the proceeds of those sales. Amazon is seeing issues too.

  @Chuckmanintexas Yep but the problem with that is you can’t even break even selling cards for .50 or a dollar. You lose money at the point if you offer free shipping. To break even selling cards on eBay with free shipping the lowest you can go it 1.42 and if you’re get your top loader cheap your penny sleeves etc….
