    @zebular0 GameStop down on eBay investment and bitcoin investment. Stock is at 52 week lows. But yeah …tell me how it’s bullish

    @autreeyah1 @explosiveorenji Oh yeah, I remember having to RMA one that I got from EBay (the warranty wasnt registered). After that, there weren't any more crashes. I also remember having to RMA my Steam Deck once for GPU related issues too. So I guess that's something to consider.

    @Gentleman_Ways How it looks now. Funny thing about those Wedgewood vases. I ordered one from a British antiques dealer on Ebay but when it arrived it had a broken chip at the top. I demanded my money back and they said they would send me another instead. So now I have two and no one can see the broken back. I lucked out.

    finding the right one-liner for Shack took only years 🫠 by now we must‘ve changed it 20+ times „C2C Marketplace“ „Anything to Anyone“ „P2P trade network“ „Human protocol for trade“ „Agentic (re)commerce network“ „Silk Road is back“ „C2C fiat and crypto enabled“ „AI consumer trade app“ „C2C running on Memes & AI“ … the hard part was that I knew what we‘re not no eBay, Vinted, Facebook marketplaces, Craigslist, Uber, Amazon etc so we couldn‘t use the usual C for Y „the eBay for Collectibles“ or the „Uber for trade“ I think we‘re finally there and not sure what took me so long: „building a home for regular sellers“ why do I like this so much? a) It‘s tech agnostic. We use whatever we think is best. b) it describes the solution and the problem c) a 5yr old can understand it d) it captures our key priority: regular sellers e) it‘s not tied to a category or vertical, just the desire to sell smth f) it also clearly implies what we‘re not: for professional sellers. We don‘t want to be the next whatnot, amazon or compete against any of them g) it conveys trust and human connection (home) h) it implies continuity and a long term mission (building) the simplest way to think about Shack is a testing ground for smth you own and want to sell. atoms, bits, time compared to setting up a business first or creating a website or find the right vertical website/app you can just take/create a photo and put it up for sale on Shack for the world to explore. maybe your test turns into a business at some point and then you can do all the admin around it and switch to the unlimited professional selling options out there. Shack is aiming to be the easiest point of entry if you‘re not a business and just want to sell or explore selling, with as little friction as possible what will happen if we succeed and users around the world are putting anything they want to sell online? buyers will follow as the supply will be so uniquely differentiated to all the commoditized professional selling options and most importantly prices will undercut any professional as a regular seller has none of the overhead or is selling something that is depreciating or would have been thrown away winning will prevent waste and preserve value the eCommerce industry continues to drive regular sellers into private whatsapp buy/sell groups or offline by prioritizing pros, buyers and vertical solutions (ten apps for regular sellers compared to one) in parallel the creator economy is accelerating and technology is deflating global P2P trade costs. a solution like Shack could capture multiple secular tailwinds and the best part: connect people around the globe decreasing isolation and strengthening community.

    @staypredictable As an eBay shareholder that bought more than their entire board combined, I am pissed that the board isn’t allowing GameStop to take over and provide value! Just like Netflix, I am now down on my investment over completely irrational decision-making by these people.

    lowball offers are a non-issue, at least on eBay. set BIN minimums, ignore "what's your lowest" messages and you're basically set

    @TheWizardOz39 My dad is an expert on ebay so I'm sure he could find one for me. The problem is figuring out where to place it plus a projector bc the dance floor is very small

    People really upset when I followed through with exactly what I said I would after people were maligned about telling the truth. You bunch of weak minded people. You wanted a pity party and when you got the truth you want to blame me for doing exactly what I said I would do- Get the death certificate and show you since you want believe the bullshit. I’ve never backed down from a debate or a confrontation. Never. Ask Carissa, the jealous stalker, who went through my eBay account to find my fascinating affinity for American pottery. Weak people sit and whine. String people get the proof and prove you’re weak.

    @AaronJo87253424 @ApeAlt0 Sure they have. They acquired bitcoin at the top and loss millions, and now they are down millions on their near 10% stake in eBay They’ve done plenty …they are just really ******* bad at it. A baboon could have done better with that bankroll and retail support.

    @DrElectronX @RandyWKirk1 Major tech companies pre-dot-com bubble peak (late 1990s–2000): Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, IBM, Oracle, Lucent, Sun Microsystems, Compaq, Dell, HP, AOL, Yahoo, Apple, Amazon, eBay. If you wind the clock forward 10 yrs everyone of these except AOL lives on its own or was merged. My point is that most of the leaders in the tech industry would survive a bubble bust if it happened tomorrow. I saw the bubble coming and moved to cash befire the dot. com bubble, but I was scared out of the market for 10 years and missed the rapid rebound of the tech leaders. Timing a bubble is a fools game. Buy quality companies whose competitive advantages will endure in down times.

    @twlqghtz I’ve never had any problem with Vinted or eBay luckily! Though I do think people on eBay are asking too much for the dolls, especially ones that were missing parts or clothes entirely!

    @BosCardHunter I found that with all AI mass sorters. They ID parallels incorrectly. Card Dealer pro had this problem. Good for older cards but terrible for modern. Ebay verification is getting really good.

    @YtDevilYtDevil @CardGameNomad That's a manufacturer defect usually. If you've been around you'd see this 1000x over. Prismatic 3pack blisters where notorious for this. Just go look on eBay at all the 3pack blisters more often than not they have three issue of coming apart at the bottom.

    @SatchelPrice I had 100% positive feedback from over 400 people and dude recently gave me negative feedback without even reaching out with an issue (which I would have resolved.) it went down to like 97.5% or something I was pissed. I disputed the feedback with eBay but haven’t heard back yet.

    @benwegmann I’ve sold nine phones on Swappa and probably a dozen things on OfferUp and Craigslist over the years, I’ve never once had a problem. I’ve tried selling things on eBay TWICE and both times the seller attempted to scam me. eBay and PayPal are a cesspit

    Stavros™ = Σταύρος© (@dodona777) reported

    I'd issues with Ebay & contacted help. Finally texted a human. He was from an Asian country & doing his best 2 help. Ebay sends me feedback form. Do I NOT reply or if I do, tell the truth? I thought it best 2 give +ve feedback bc I felt guy was being ripped off by a corporation.

    @Nebraskangooner @eBay I would do a chargeback if you used a credit card and upload your screenshots and interactions with eBay as support that you tried to resolve the issue initially

    Day 190 Total sales: $50.00 eBay earnings: $35.66 Buy cost (COG): $14.68 Net profit: $20.98 ROI: 143% Not every day is going to be a $500 or $1,000 profit day. Some days you'll have 1 sale. Some days you'll have none. That's just part of running an eBay business. The key is not letting a slow day affect what you do tomorrow. I could look at today and be disappointed or I can keep listing, keep sourcing, & trust the process that's produced over $52,000 in eBay earnings so far this year. The biggest mistake isn't having a slow day. The biggest mistake is letting a slow day cause you to stop doing the things that create the big days. Tomorrow is a new opportunity. On to bigger days. 💪📦

    @benwegmann Long time ebay-er here, well used to be to the point It was my primary income for a time. Totally abandoned it: 1. The listing process is a bogged down mess. 2. Feedback system was great in the beginning but useless now. 3. Search engine favors promoted items, useless! 1/2

    @LauraLoomer All this crying about Islam but no crying about who's funding these people coming over, they're not walking over, if you can track my eBay payments you can track who's funding them over here, at this point we know who is the actual problem is our government won't stop them

    eliza | impel down (@stqrcharms) reported

    @EepyEwpert it depends! If you were getting tracking before and now you're not, that is an issue. If you haven't had a tracking number this whole time, they probably sent the package without a number. I would still probably file something with ebay or reach out to the seller because 1/2

    @93rdmin @Gav_Griffiths The obsession with ebay and online selling was getting crazy. Shops were already run very short, and they started asking people to list 6-8 items per day on Gumtree and all this crap. Just shotgun approach. Management no real ideas about retail or how to fix core problems.

    eBay Live featured vid still only on 80 active viewers/bidders. This system is a massive failure and there’s only a month or 2 left of no FVF. These sellers who have milked it. Won’t be there when the promotional period ends. Shame on these businesses for supporting this model. eBay Live is anti-business. It is everything business isn’t. There’s no money in it. It’s great for buyers. Terrible for businesses. My view will never change on this.
