  @eBay leadership blows. Terrible seller support.

  @ReefRuff An actual dedicated camcorder as opposed to a mirrorless SLR camera would be better. You can get new or used camcorders on eBay for 50-300 dollars. An advantage that camcorders have is that they never have problems with autofocus.

  On August 1, an Xbox Series X will cost $800. Microsoft keeps saying they want consoles to be "affordable." Those two things sound incompatible until you see what hit my inbox last week: pallets of Xbox consoles at 65% off MSRP, headed for the secondhand market. I pieced this together over the past week, and it got more interesting the deeper I went. In April, Microsoft put out the "We Are XBOX" memo. Two lines stood out: "Xbox will be built to be affordable, personal, and open." "Pricing is getting harder for people to keep up with." Then in June they announced the third price hike in two years, effective August 1. The Series X Disc over 18 months: $499 in early 2025 $599 in May $649 in October $800 on August 1 The Series S, the supposed budget option, went from $299 to $499 over the same stretch. If you've been waiting for new console prices to come down, they aren't going to. Why not just cut prices? They can't. Microsoft's own hike announcement blamed memory and storage costs running more than 2.5x higher. That's AI demand doing the work: Microsoft alone is putting $190B into data centers this year, up 60% from 2025, and that same buildout is inflating RAM, storage, and GPU prices. The exact parts inside a console. There has never been a worse time to build a cheap console. Their own CEO admitted it in June: it's "hard to imagine that mass audiences can afford thousands of dollars" for a console generation. She said we'll see "radically different business models" later this year. I think I found out what one of those models looks like. I run an ecommerce business, so liquidators send me wholesale offers all day. Last week one landed: five SKUs of Xbox consoles at 65% off MSRP. Series S at $140. Series X at $280. 500 unit minimums. That's the flyer attached to this post. I started asking questions, and the answers were better than the flyer. Per the supplier, these come straight from Microsoft's trade-in program. Around 50,000 units in this batch alone. Every unit has to be fully functional to qualify. Tested, all accessories and cables included, just no retail box. And here's the part that got me: they aren't even in the warehouse yet. Microsoft ships them out over the next 30 days. Resellers are pre-ordering allocations right now. Where do 50,000 discounted Xboxes go? To resellers, who flip them on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Amazon, Whatnot. Over the next few months. In volume. So here's my read. "Flexible pricing" isn't one thing. It's 0% financing at checkout. It's the Game Pass price cuts. And it's the part I haven't seen reported: letting the used market deliver the affordable console while new hardware climbs. Microsoft keeps their margins, skips the logistics, and the trade-in program becomes the budget tier. Could I be wrong? Sure. Nobody outside Redmond knows for certain, and I can't independently verify where the liquidator's units come from. But 50,000 tested consoles moving through one channel weeks before a price hike is a signal, whatever the intent. So if you want an Xbox and don't need it sealed in a box: wait a couple months. Tested, working consoles with all the accessories are about to be everywhere, cheap. Or would you still pay $800 for the box?

  Did @ebay fire all their devops engineers and replace them with AI? If so, it makes perfect sense as their website has been down for at least 10 minutes so far. Legitimate requests are blocked with a 403 response.

  Online purchases - the issues of trust and reporting scammers; I ordered an item on eBay (they protect buyers better than sellers) Amazon delivered 😳 same product, wrong size.. but I didn't order from them🤔 Who would you report this to, and how? @paullewismoney @MartinSLewis

  StubHub CEO Eric Baker's history is pretty interesting. He's basically the Napoleon of ticket reselling - co-founded StubHub in 2000 - left the company 4 years later after a dispute with his co-founder - founded his own European secondary ticket sales platform - somewhere along the way began operating Andro / Colloquy Capital -StubHub gets bought by eBay for ~$300M in 2007 - Eric buys back StubHub from eBay for $4 billion in 2020 -IPO at a $8.6B marketcap (stock down >50% since then)

  E-commerce pricing is a war. Most brands lose because they can't afford to watch prices 24/7. Built AutoPricer to fix that. Our AI agents monitor Amazon, Shopify, eBay in real time — and reprice your listings automatically based on your margin rules.

  @thebodge1 I'd probably consider eBay tbh, things still sell reasonably well on there when there's a domestic market and you don't get the chancers like you do with marketplace or vinted. We've sold quite a few figurines on there over the past couple of years with virtually no issues

  Hey everyone! I was getting the sheet ready for today's break and realized we made a mistake in the listings of the 25/26 Finest UEFA breaks. When we copied the teams over from the checklist we pasted them into the wrong cell on the sheet we use to upload the listings into eBay. With that said there are the teams that were listed that are not available in the product. Eintracht Frankfurt Nottingham Forest PSV Eindhoven Here is what we are doing to correct it. We will issue refunds to anyone that purchased any of these teams and you will receive one of the unlisted teams for free in the break. Here are the teams that were not listed FC Salzburg LOSC Lille Olympique de Marseille Apologies for the error on this one!

  when a $43M app's five-star rating hides affiliate link injection, you're not looking at a bug. you're looking at a feature flag. Phia raised $43.5M on Phoebe Gates' name and a cap table that reads like a red carpet. Bloomberg and Ben Edelman ran tests on 50+ sites. same result every time: at checkout, the extension opens a hidden tab, drops its own affiliate code in, and takes the commission whether it earned it or not. the code tells the story the company won't. the behavior was live on iOS, switched off on Chrome desktop, bc on desktop a tab opening is something you'd actually see. that's not a coincidence you patch in 24 hours. that's a design choice. last-click attribution runs a $13B market. whoever clicks last before payment gets paid, full stop. it doesn't matter if you actually helped. a browser extension sits in the exact spot that matters most in that entire chain. it can insert itself as the last click on nearly every purchase you make, and the rule has no built-in way to tell the difference. cookie stuffing for this exact scheme sent Shawn Hogan to prison for 5 months. Brian Dunning got 15 months. eBay jailed a man for running this at smaller scale. now it funds it. i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

  @eBay just know that you're banning legitimate sellers without explaining what (if anything) they did wrong. Whatever tools you're using now to automate this is not working properly. You banned my brother after he posted his 5800X3D and RAM listings. A legitimate seller.

  @ChoochSkookum When I got my first nice chainsaw, I got an electric sharpener and a half-dozen "rental" chains from ebay that had been used once (and abused!). I repaired them and now I always have sharp chains available and I only have to sit down and sharpen chains every now and then.

  THIS GUY TURNED $2,700 IN PARTS INTO AN AI BOX THAT KILLED HIS $1,000 A MONTH CLAUDE API BILL IN ONE DAY. The bill landed on the first of the month: $1,043. His agents had been hammering Claude API around the clock: sorting mail, tagging notes, drafting replies. He's 31, rents a corner in a repair shop in Shanghai, and he's not a hardware guy. He watched two videos, bent the pins on his first socket, built the second box right. Inside: a used Threadripper, a board with seven GPU slots, eight sticks of RAM, one 24GB card off eBay. Ollama installs in 20 minutes. Llama 70B downloads while he eats. Pause at 0:04 on the row of black slots under the chip. Seven of them, each takes a full 24GB card. Type Tesla P40 into eBay right now: server cards with 24GB, out of real data centers, under $200. Data centers swap hardware in waves, and every wave dumps thousands of these for the price of headphones. The hardware got thirty times cheaper. The API price didn't drop by a dollar. The API never sold him a model. It sold a meter. Open models in the 70B class caught up with the paid tiers, so the night work moved onto the box: drafts, sorting, his own files. Claude API keeps the hard 15%, the long research chains. The bill fell under $100. Electricity adds $7. The parts paid for themselves by month three. Everyone else is still feeding the meter. He bought the car. Save this before the next wave of server cards clears eBay.

  Day 157 Total sales: $671.92 Buy cost (COG): $95.24 eBay earnings: $492.81 Net profit: $397.57 ROI: 417% 10 item day. One thing that's become obvious after documenting these daily results is that diversity is a strength. Today's sales included automotive parts, golf accessories, batteries, diagnostic tools, appliance parts, & outdoor equipment. 10 completely different products. 10 different buyers. If one category slows down, another usually picks up. That's one reason I rarely chase a single niche. I'd rather build an inventory that solves problems across dozens of categories than depend on one product line. Over time, that creates more consistent sales and reduces risk. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

  @Mooo0925 @RoaringKitty_22 They’re not retarded, but you believe they’d give up a stock that offers dividends and does buybacks, so price can rise, in exchange for cohen’s dilution stock that’s down 85% since its 2021 ATH’s? Ebay shareholders aren’t retarded, it’s safe to say the GME ones are, though.

  @herschcox @CardPurchaser If you ship through ebay they get notified by email & if they miss that they can see it on their orders page. If you ship outside of ebay & add the tracking number they get the exact same info. You said "USPS side issue" as if it wasnt delivered? In that case they get a refund.
