  I bought one on eBay with the optional cutting board that goes on top. Problem solved. It will fit a 9x13 pan.

  @Milajoy The lawyer did say that she needed to dress down and that I shouldn't come in. We looked too nice. I'm barely scraping by in my Goodwill & eBay outfits. He said that we look like we'll be able to "find it" (the money). Like, we probably knew someone that had it. They live DWIs.

  My eBay sales have been slow lately…but it’s my fault. That might sound strange to say, but when you take full responsibility, you also give yourself the opportunity to improve. Instead of blaming the algorithm or saying people just aren’t buying, I looked in the mirror. I listed more items, went back and improved some old listings, adjusted prices on a few things, and simply got back in the game. Funny how that works. I don’t care what you sell or where you sell it. If you consistently take more action, you’ll create more opportunities to make sales. Too many people spend their time waiting for buyers instead of giving buyers more chances to find them. The lesson? When sales slow down, don’t look for excuses. Look for work. More listings, Better listings, Better pricing, More consistency. That’s usually where the answer is

  @drewscardshop Should be some way to contact eBay and get it taken down. If it’s obviously a scam like this.

  Why can eBay pay out almost instantly but Amazon takes DD + 7 days + 3-5 working days for “bank” processing That’s half a month of my money sat there doing NOTHING. Just slowing me down massively

  Weirdly enough, one of the hardest Thomas characters to find on eBay is Thomas himself, because it's hard to narrow down that you're looking for the guy himself and not just the brand.

  @ToastyBrosTech There is some good stuff on eBay listed as parts or not working never seen anything as bad as this but tbh it could be a deal if the ram or cpu is intact

  @greegle_mudzone No need on eBay, you can just mail them a broken/different item, but since you did mail an item with confirmation, you'll win the case (right @ebay?)

  @greyfinance Rubbish! You have said this sorry 1000 times but at the end of the day you refused solving my problem. I tried the card on ebay, Amazon, apple, Google, etc, but it failed on all these sites. I even did a video and sent to you but u still did nothing

  @EverydayResell Its interesting how many times I have gotten this type of review - thankful for being an honest seller. Then I started buying from eBay more frequently and realized why. So many sellers are TERRIBLE!

  @HexPositive This but for everything. Today I was ******* with my 2 year old broken printer I’ve barely used thinking “I wonder if I can order a functional printer from the 90s on eBay.” Feels increasingly not worth buying anything made in the last ~10 years

  RAJ (@israjsonu) reported 30 minutes ago

  @svpino The part that doesn't transfer to "just ask AI" is accountability. At eBay scale the model gives me a plausible fix in seconds — the job is knowing which of the three plausible fixes survives ****, and being the one on the hook when it doesn't. Clients pay for the second thing, and they still will.

  @WillieDJenkins1 the roomba at least does not do row by row it builds a map in its memory based on what it bounces off of and fills it in, and when it spots particular ***** spots does little circles around them and then heads off someone where else. Supposedly the new ones maintain memory of the rooms and so improve with time but idk. My roomba discoveries work on carpet. I actually bought them from ebay a few years ago when they were still more pricey. Amazon had off brand chinese replacement parts, and getting broken used ones were really cheap and i found the manual on ifixit or somewhere and just made a good one for cheaper than a new one and had a bunch of spare parts

  GPT-Pain (@GPTpain) reported 34 minutes ago

  Alas, the actuator assembly is not the issue, so I burned $110 on an A/B test. Arrogant POS who just had to buy the part on eBay before doing a fuller investigation. I've at least confirmed that it's getting power and responds to/communicates with the door release and the instrument cluster. Of course, my multimeter is not at home right now. Womp womp. Wiring seems fine and harness in frame is secure on eye test. My friend TechGPT and I have determined it's probably just damaged wiring in the accordion boot between door and roof. Could be a BCM glitch, but it can't be failing as all the other door locks are functional and responsive. Out of time today. Try again later with multimeter in tow. I know there are people dying right now in the world, but this is very important that I come out ahead on this versus dealer repair cost. Thank you for attending my TED car talk.

  Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported 34 minutes ago

  @HoneybadgerNo1 @eBay @depop Just for clarity, this item didn't actually go through an eBay authentication facility before delivery to you, right? I don't see the Authenticity Guarantee symbol & it's below the price threshold. It looks to me like it was just a regular listing, which eBay did not initially flag, allowing you to purchase it - then when you relisted the same item, eBay's AI systems flagged it as counterfeit & took it down. That wouldn't have anything to do with eBay Authentication, but it definitely does still show that eBay's AI sucks.

  VLAD HOSTS THE BEST PODCAST IN BITCOIN (@Vladcostea) reported 35 minutes ago

  Read a comment from somebody who said he will buy a rare and obscure hardware wallet from eBay or AliExpress because nobody will care enough to hack it It’s called security by obscurity and it’s the WORST IDEA EVER Coldcard got pwned because they used an obscure firmware with no incentives to audit Something more rare is a much easier target in the era of LLMs: search for obscure listings, then look for exploitable security vulnerabilities in the codebase What you should get instead is the most battle tested hardware and software. Something that’s been attacked for years and has hundreds of people looking for issues every day Something popular enough that it will receive support even after the company behind it goes out of business In security, the safest road is the one that most people are taking. The best place to hide isn’t off the grid, but in a crowd Choose wisely, the dark alley might be faster but it lacks the protections of the crowded boulevard

  Thomas James (@rocky7586) reported 36 minutes ago

  @Derceto00 @2_Old_4_Gaming @RetroGamer_Daz Why do y'all say this? Where is it a rental? Please show me where a game has been completely removed after a certain amount of time from someone's library? It's NOT a rental! You are buying a license! That license CAN be revoked but so can your driver's license. Does that mean you're only renting your car if you break the law and they take away your license to drive? No. You are the owner of that license along with the publishers that you acquired it from. That agreement WILL NOT BREAK as long as you don't break any of the TOS. even if they close down forever. You still get to keep your games. I'm sick of reading this rental nonsense because it's simply not true and not how this works. "but what about the 500 movies Sony took!" Movies are not games! Movies you get from a third party EXPLICITLY tells you that YOU DON'T OWN THIS! What you're buying is a license to view it from that third party as long as THEY have their license to carry that movie renewed. There's never a time you can show me in the EULA for games where they can just arbitrarily take games from you and that you're only renting them. It doesn't state that. Movies have licensing agreements in place with platforms like Fandango, Apple Store, Google Play Store, Movies Anywhere, etc, where they can carry those movies on your behalf as you buy the license to watch them on those platforms. The EULA explicitly says this to you. The ONLY way a digital movie is yours forever is if you bought it first hand from the studios that made it. That means when you purchase a movie from their own website, the DVDs and Blu-ray codes that come in the boxes, or they gave you a code to use directly. You still watch them on those platforms but if one of those platforms ever shut down? They are obligated to move your collection over to another "locker", which is what they call it in the EULA, OR give you the ability to download the movies so you keep them forever. They HAVE to do this as it is in their EULA and that's what they agreed on with you as the purchaser. Games? They don't have limited licenses like that, typically. You'll run into a licensed game from Marvel or DC or Star Trek, Nickelodeon, or licensed music, etc, and those games have limited licenses physically and digitally. That's why a lot of those games get delisted or they have to remove the music just like GTA had to do a few years ago. Delisting doesn't mean you can't play what you've bought though. That's what I need people to understand. Delisting is not de-platforming. It's not the same thing. I have purchased delisted games since 2017 and they are still ready for me to play digitally. You keep them. They just aren't available for purchase for anyone else that may want them digitally. Physical games get delisted and moved from store shelves all the time too. Deadpool is a great example of a game no longer in regular circulation and you can only really find it used for high prices on eBay. Effectively that game is out of commission because of that physically. Digitally? You can still play it if you bought it before they delisted it. It's not gone forever. It's there. I hope you really take time out to read all of this and try to understand that You've been misinformed on this stuff and that digital gaming is not what you've been thinking. There's some drawbacks just like there will be with physical games. The true issue needing addressing with all digital platform is the refund, trade, and selling policies that Sony has to change up. They will have to change them to match Steam because that's their direct competition now. I do think they will announce changes to those soon.

  Huge corporations despise small resellers like me. MegaCorps want to control their products forever. But legally, they can't. Here's why, and here's how you protect yourself against the army of lawyers they employ. Liquidation, store returns, and overstock products with their brand name drive these companies insane. And they want to stop you from selling them. How can you protect yourself from MegaCorp threats? By learning and using the Doctrine of First Sale. Here’s a quick rundown of what the DFS is and why you need to understand it. First – bookmark this post so you can refer back to it when eBay or Amazon shuts down your account due to a complaint, or you get a cease-and-desist letter from a MegaCorp. If you’re in this business long enough, it will happen to you. The official definition of the Doctrine of First Sale: The Doctrine of First Sale allows the purchaser of a legally obtained copyrighted work to resell, lend, or give away that specific item without the copyright holder's permission, limiting the copyright holder's control over subsequent distributions of that particular copy. The Shannon Definition of the Doctrine of First Sale: I bought it, I own it, and I can do whatever the hell I want with it. Leave me alone, MegaCorp! The DFS applies to every product sold, whether it’s a book, a piece of software, a designer handbag, or a refrigerator. If you bought it, you can do what you want with it. It doesn’t matter if you bought one or 500. They are all protected under the DFS. MegaCorps use a few tactics to try and intimidate you from reselling their products: VeRO complaints – these are complaints to marketplaces like eBay, Poshmark, or Amazon – the MegaCorp claims include: You are not “authorized” to sell their product. The product you are selling is not authentic The product details are a copyright violation. Here’s how to protect yourself from these claims: Always get a receipt. You need a clear invoice that shows the transfer of ownership. You’ll have to get comfortable sharing this with marketplaces if you want to stop VeRO claims. Ensure you are selling authentic products. Reliable suppliers are critical to be sure you are not buying counterfeit inventory. Never copy/paste product information from a MegaCorp website into your product listing. This is the fastest way to get your listing removed. Write your own descriptions. Be very clear in your listing that you are not associated with MegaCorp in any way. MegaCorps also like to send “Cease and Desist” letters to get you to stop selling their products. You need to respond to these Cease and Desist demand letters in a timely and confident manner. If you would like a template for responding to VeRO complaints and Cease and Desist letters for your future use, comment below with the phrase SCUMBAG LAWYER and I will send you a link. Be sure you are following me @ShannonJean so I can DM you. The Doctrine of First Sale is your shield against powerful MegaCorps that want to infringe on your Right to Resale! Want to learn more? Give me a follow @ShannonJean as I share unconventional methods to build wealth. We have to look out for each other against the MegaCorps.

  @MidlifeCrysis_ Yep, I remember paying something like €30 with shipping included from eBay. The original jewel case was broken but that was easily fixed with a brand new one.

  Off Amazon sales still pitiful. 99.5% still flowing through Amazon. Almost $6k on Walmart, $4.7k on ebay and $3k Retail store. Hit $10k in June on Walmart but top seller had a stocking issue so faded this month. Will be looking to move some more brand direct accounts over in the upcoming months and try to push towards $25k Ebay seems a decent range. We are moving a lot of our death pile over to a live selling service provider so interested to see how that plays out.

  Tried listing an item on eBay 3 times just now. It failed every time. How can such an important part of a major app be so broken? Can we please bad this AI slop now. I’m tired. Earlier, I tried clicking a “more” link to expand text on an Instagram post. That didn’t work either. This is not progress.
