  @eBay I did but your agent "escalated" my complaint once and said theyd get back to me, even a week later when they hadnt I arranged a call again & this time your agent hung up on me while transfering the call & never called back. I can't even appeal my case coz "policies". Terrible.

  A group of students launched an AI firm from their dorm on a cluster of Mac minis and says it charges $240 a year for what an advisor charged $8,400 for. AND BEHIND THE WHOLE FIRM THERE IS NOT ONE ANALYST, JUST 7 BOXES. But the number is not even the interesting part. The broken part is HOW: they no longer need the advisor as a middleman. Claude reads a 10-K in seconds, builds a portfolio with no commission bias, runs tax optimization and projects retirement down to the dollar. What a live analyst takes a year to do the cluster does in minutes. That is it. While the industry takes a cut of your money just for holding it, they handed all the analysis to seven boxes on a shared desk. They automated not the advice but the advisor himself. How it actually works: 7 Mac minis off eBay for $1,600, wired over Ethernet into one cluster, one CLAUDE.md file on top with the firm's rules. Claude reads the reports and builds the models, the students just check and hand it to the client. First month 8 clients, second month 20 on word of mouth. And 92% of live advisors still lose to a simple index over 15 years: the expensive human does not win, he is just expensive. There is almost nothing to count here: the cluster cost $1,600 once, and it serves a client for $240 a year. An advisor on the same portfolio charges about $5,000 just for being there, and that gap goes to the client, not into a commission. But all these numbers are their projection not a proven track record: the video has 7 boxes, Ethernet and CLAUDE.md but not one yearly client result, no license, no statement. AI reads reports fast but real money answers to risk and regulation, not to how fast you read a 10-K. The real asset here is not the Mac minis but the fact that the client finally sees what he paid a live advisor for: presence, not results. Because the boxes themselves earn nothing. The money is where a whole industry takes a cut for a middleman job a machine does in seconds. Live advisors are expensive and mostly lose to the index, and almost nobody has thought to build their replacement out of used hardware and one file. The window is open for literally the next few months. Most people will say "money should be handled by a human" and close it. And the ones who build a cluster like this and pull clients away from overpaid advisors will take this wave while the industry sleeps. Would you hand your portfolio to a cluster for $240 a year or are you still paying an advisor $5,000 just for existing?

  @LeanPicachu @woggerman1974 Xbox had this in the works for Xbox One when the internet melted down on their e3 unvailing. Every sale was going to have a small percentage fee that went to the platform (xbox) and the publisher of the game. They get a cut of every transaction. Like how Ebay does.

  @JoshRing4UBI @Colteastwood The problem here, is the way digital rights work - you own nothing. While most people haven’t been affected by this yet, one day, that will change… There is no physical market to control prices, so Sony can charge whatever they want, and you can’t head to Amazon or eBay

  Hi @AskeBay — I need urgent escalation on Case 5374687210. eBay ruled against me stating I "didn't provide tracking in time" — but my eBay message records show I provided signed delivery confirmation 19 days before the buyer even opened the case. I have official Chunghwa Post CN08 documentation and a Poste Italiane signed receipt. This is a factual error in the ruling, not a policy disagreement. Frontline CS and the disputes team have both refused to engage. I need this reviewed by someone with actual authority. Seller ID: Rolf_Racing_Ver.2. How do I get this escalated properly?

  This seems like another unnecessary tax on Europeans like IOSS which is constantly fumbled by exporters and then you have to pay for manual tax processing costs. Here is my personal example ordering an antique item on eBay. IOSS was issued, paid for and assigned. Dutch customs / @PostNL declared that it was transmitted incorrectly and made me pay €1.18 VAT again including €10 euro manual processing cost. I’ve checked my AliExpress account and most of my purchases were spare parts for my electronics. Now I’ll pay 3€ markup (+and arbitrary processing costs every time somebody ***** up) to be able to fix my things. So much for promoting repair and reuse..

  @DigitalbathRx @IntroSpecktive It wasn’t locked down by design. If you didn’t like PSN prices, you could go to your local Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon, etc and see if they were better. If not, used on eBay. They are doing away with all that. They also can shut down stores whenever they feel like (like with PS3), slap DRM on their digital purchases that require check ins, and revoke digital licenses at will. I’m not describing a console. I’m describing a literal monopoly.

  A lot of new people here, this one’s for you. 🚨How to stop losing money to eBay return scammers. They buy your clean, working item… then ship back a broken piece of junk & demand a full refund. I recently learned this $7.49 trick & it’s an absolute game changer: Grab a cheap UV security pen (the exact one I use from amazon is in the photo). Before you ship, write a unique personal code or mark in a hidden spot on the item. It’s completely invisible to the naked eye, but lights up under any blacklight. When the return comes back, just shine the light. No matching mark? That’s not your original item. Upload the before/after UV photos in your eBay case and watch your win rate skyrocket. 🚀 Pro tip: Make the code truly unique, your own handwriting style, a random symbol only you make. Something scammers can’t duplicate even if they know the method. Resellers: add this to your process TODAY. It will save you hundreds (or thousands) in the long run. Who’s trying this? Let me know in the comments if you’re adding UV marking to your process. Also, would love to hear your best return scam stories below! Happy selling! Let's grow!

  @chivasTaka @PhantomBlack699 @magsonthemoon You do realize eBay has zero inventory, right..? Hype would be saying Ryan Cohen could run eBay off of his Apple Watch.... which... ok I won't go there. The second thing RC will fix, after he removes a huge chunk of eBay's marketing expenses, and cleaning out the Board Room and C suite, is putting a stop to a failed eBay business strategy, by not burning $ 1-2B per year by buying losing marketplaces from VC funded start-ups with no intention to carry the eBay name. Make that make sense. Tise, Depop, Caramel, the list is long, and it should be embarrassing for anyone not to call out what is pretty clear. The eBay board and C-Suite has found a way to remove CASH off of their balance sheet, systematically, with precision, for a purpose. That purpose is not to reward shareholders for actual profitability or growth. The purpose isn't to fix eBay's customer service and definitely not to fix the problem of sellers selling fake and sometimes illegal goods on eBay's Marketplace. So what is the purpose..? eBay tosses a few table scraps to shareholders by buying back $500M worth of shares a year, and tucking those overpayments for the acquisitions of money losing VC backed start-ups into the asset category of Goodwill on their Balance Sheet. They've been doing that for the last 6 years, every year, like clockwork. The Board and C-Suite of eBay has devised a way to inflate the asset side of their balance sheet, which the last time I checked, is now sitting around $4.5B of Goodwill, which they state in their own foot notes to the financial statements, that eBay is unlikely to recover those overpayments for the intangible value of the acquisitions classified as Goodwill. They just roll over the amount in that Goodwill line every year, by realizing the losses on prior acquisitions, and adding more intangible assets to Goodwill by making more foolish acquisitions. eBay has almost $6B in long term debt on their Balance Sheet too. Heck of a way to add the balance between their Assets and Liabilities, to make their Balance Sheet appear stronger and larger than it actually is. The existing eBay executives are imo, masters at manipulation using Smoke and Mirrors. Ryan Cohen has accomplished what no one else has ever done before: Take on Amazon and win with Chewy. And he began that journey when he was 25 years young. Ryan Cohen has accomplished what no one else has ever done before: Take a dying brick & mortar retail store, and turn it into a money minting machine with GameStop. People can think what they want. But anyone who calls that hype, good luck. I prefer to base my opinion on fact, supported by proven history. From Ryan's past history, to what he says publicly today, he is not getting lucky like a lot of people would like to claim, RC knows the meaning of working his *** off, to do the right thing. RC isn't doing what he does because he is some kind Greek God and wants to reward shareholders. Ryan is a shareholder. RC is the largest individual shareholder of GameStop, and if any shareholder thinks RC owes them anything, again, like a lot of the Short Shill People attempt to claim, these folks are getting nudged to the edge of their own mistake, of betting against Ryan Cohen. And with that, I say, Good Luck to them. Luck (even with the ex-Secretary of Treasury on their side) won't save them, this time.

  @glacierptrading @Vfwbartender11 Why do you pick 30? Why not 60? 80? Would you be happy at $30? Prob not GME goes up and down. We all wanted a short squeeze. Ryan Cohen wants to buy eBay. These two things can work together, but it takes longer to capture the squeeze & get eBay. You either like the plan or sell.

  Show me where there is any non-factual or exaggerated claim in the historical information I laid out. You can’t. It’s accurate. Care to debate the plausibility of the future alignments I suggest? I’m happy to, but you’ll be proven wrong. If you want to debate my suggestions, you may have some talking points. But I believe time will prove this mostly if not completely accurate. Check my post history. I’m not genius and don’t know how or why I come across the things I do at times. One thing I am is persistent and consistent. If I am wrong, I’m something and it’s proven and it’s happened often that’s fine, but here are just a few of the things I suggested months ahead of time that came to pass. 1When Michael Burry returned last December, I posted that he had a position in GameStop based on his first tweet and banner image. His comment that the best play in this market is to not play at all was correct then and remains correct. He may have added some shares he sold, but I believe the “not playing” nods to convertible bonds and profiting through delta hedging. The market is directional, but a convertible bond position is mechanical, you’re not really playing either way. 2Back in September or October, before any warrant dividend or convertible bond positions went public, Point72 held one of the highest publicly reported short positions on GameStop. We all know they helped bail out Melvin during the blip. So why would that short turn out to be one of the biggest signs of support any institution has given GameStop? I saw it that way because the size nearly matched dollar-for-dollar what was needed to secure a preferential price based on the VWAP on the bond issuance day. Their SEC filings also changed materially quarter to quarter, supporting them as the largest holder. The relationships confirmed it too. Matt Turner serving on the board, along with Steve Cohen’s ownership position and collectibles, pointed to a growing business relationship. It wouldn’t make sense if they were just trying to hurt the company with leverage products for profit. Back in October I posted that Point72 was a bond holder. No public confirmation yet, but the structure supports it. Once the warrants appeared in SEC filings, the acquisition prices revealed not just size but the specific dates institutions bought in. Prices stayed consistent for first-issuance buyers, and day-two buyers aligned with that day’s closing VWAP. For those wondering how Michael Burry bought bonds on issuance after shutting down his hedge fund: don’t forget the green shoe allowance. I think that’s him. 3. Just tonight I have come across several posts about a broker adding a GME dividend to its calendar. If you’ve forgotten already reread the Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies info in the article then read 741 link juicy how the entire playbook is amplified by certain types of dividends, buybacks or reverse stock splits. 4. Who holds all the cards? Words matter. During the press conference to announce the TikTok deal this is a direct quote. “ a deal was reached on a certain other company that young people in our country very much want to save” And further discussed their plan to open up non-critical infrastructure markets to each other other. Exactly where is the collectible market growing the quickest…. 5. Last one for now -April 3 2025 Cohen discloses margin loan with Schwabe pledging roughly half his holdings at the time that are worth very close to $500 million -April 6, 2025 eBay hits multi year love - last week Cohen announces a $500 million investment of his own money. Detail details to follow. If he use that loan to buy the shares right now, he couldn’t pay it back if that’s all he had in equity But what if a derivative position was opened just as those two events converged. some new wrinkles to model here. But without a doubt, enough profits to exercise and hold a large percentage along with repay margin loan. $GME
