  @CustomerEbay thank you so much for not completing the refund in nearly 2 weeks. Just got off the phone for like a 10th time. If you can see the error on your end, and im confirming that is the error on my end, @eBay why do I have to argue about the error for you to address it?

  Why Contain It (@NSF_casualty) reported 7 minutes ago

  @coltonblack I've never bought stuff like that for work off amazon, but I've bought plenty of **** on ebay and I've never had a problem with it. Did you check radwell? Curious to see what they're charging.

  I'm an electrical contractor. So maybe I can speak here a little. Very often pricing is a mafia structure between very few vendors. Here in Florida, lighting is ridiculous. For the same build-out, I will get a $23k lighting quote as "alternatives to spec" that are legit the same products, just a different brand, and the spec'ed lights will get quoted at $64k. Now for your breaker. I personally will not buy a breaker from Amazon or eBay. This is personal. There's likely no issue, but I will pay 3x more through my vendors due to relationships with them, trust with them, certain guarantees through them. Yes, this will get passed onto the customer, but generally 3 phase bigger breakers like this control things that cost money each time they're shut down or require scheduling to shut down. Imagine if I send an employee into a... Grocery store..or something overnight since they can't shut down during the day. My Amazon/eBay breaker fails during this overnight shut down. Now I'm just the cheap *** contractor trusting Amazon and eBay to save a couple hundred $, that now costed me thousands and will require another shut down, logistics etc etc. It sucks, sorry you had to deal with this. My hyperbolic story isn't always true, but I've ran into your breaker price range a few times and usually.. it's the electrical wholesale mafia setting the price because they know we'll pay for it.

  @Eljefemunoz13 each issue was less than £10 !! I truly can’t believe i got some of them so cheap! pretty much all of them were from ebay

  @chrisw96722402 Proper tailoring is the easiest fix. So many are worn way too boxy. The coat should be tailored to your waist. I’d also recommend getting some better buttons. WWII buttons are super cheap, go on eBay and it’s going to be like $35 for a set. The new ones look and are cheap.

  Might start grinding eBay again now that I have a label printer. I had bad luck with ESE not getting to the destination though and having to issue refunds. Any tips to fix that and better ways to pack?? I would use a standard envelope sleeved and toploader then wrap the card in paper and insert into envelope.

  I was looking for physical copies of the October 2005 and July 2006 issues of Physics Today - a special issue on Hans Bethe, and an issue with my letter about him. Unfortunately, the only option available on eBay was the full set of 48 issues from 2005 through 2008. There was no way I was going to buy so many for just two issues. No way. No…wait.

  @aPokeEmporium It was on ebay this time. Customer opened and won an item not as described case despite no evidence on his part. I appealed but don't have high hopes. Basically forced to give the guy $40 and have a blemish on my account because he felt like it Outwardly, TCGP is very buyer friendly, but like you say, most of the time you can resolve issues behind the scenes if you give a professional effort and the customer was unreasonable

  @bqaggie @CowbellCards @CardPurchaser When I'm looking for something on eBay, and I scroll down to the description, if I see a wall of flowery, unnecessary text, I try to buy it from someone else.

  @Joffan7 For Zip2, he was using a Palo Alto dataset that was literally built by, maintained by, and given from the government. For PayPal, there was literally lobbying and legal work to get the online payment services to be allowed. The entire point is that the government gating allowed Elon and didn't allow, for instance, you. Without that government gating, PayPal doesn't become the ONLY option for a decade, so eBay buying it doesn't suddenly make $180M for Elon, which means the businesses he starts AFTERWARD don't exist in the same way. For both Tesla and SpaceX, government regulations have kept people from competing in those spaces. Elon's money allowed him through the gate so that he could play in the first place. The entire POINT is that the taxation and regulation by government has led to Musk's trillion. Without the government choosing winners and losers, Musk never becomes a trillionaire. Hell, the value of the dollar doesn't ALLOW a trillion dollars. Inflation has been 33.85x since 1913 (beginning of the Fed). The GDP of *Earth* was $111T in 2024. The entire POINT is that the "billionaire issue" comes from the government destroying our money system and choosing who's allowed to even PLAY in the market. They chose Musk. Now Musk has a shitload of <heavily devalued> money.

  @yourname2221 @GoldinCo @CardPurchaser I am likely going to close my account with them. The whole point of using an auction house is to not sweat out payments like this. A guy on Facebook didn’t get paid for 30+ days. Was hoping when eBay took over they’d fix this

  @Han_Akamatsu RC has taken no money from the company and has only bought more GME WITH HIS OWN MONEY. He will be sitting on the eBay board of directors soon. This slow acquisition of eBay is scaring the out of the hedge funds. DONT BELIEVE THE FUD OR SHILLS. APES HOLD STRONG TOGETHER RCEO! 🚀

  @SamsMagicTape @CardPurchaser I have no trouble listing cards at auction for .99 to start. It depends on the card and your following on ebay. Do some research and see what works best for your situation. Do you need the $ right away? Or if you can wait do auction

  @silver207141 $250 by the end of the year. I thought we would be over $100 by now but the paper games are keeping physical down. Even if you have to pay the premium. I think spot should include prices of eBay and online trading sites. The fuse is lit I just thought it was shorter than this

  When these young guns see entrepreneurship they immediately jump into marketing, website design, AI or “buying businesses.” Then when they realize they have no idea what they’re doing or are battling in shark infested waters, they give up and say it doesn’t work and go back to their 9-5. I have two pieces of advice: 1. Start an eBay account. Get on Facebook marketplace and flip things. Get free, flip for more. Buy low, sell high. Overtime learn how to buy broken and fix. Once you have this down, you have a money making skill for life. 2. Use that money to fund a moat you want to build. Something that excites you. Something that turns your gears. Don’t do what everyone else is doing, do what you want to be doing. Even better if there are little to no courses or trainings on it. It means you can charge into it and be the “it” person. If you have to invest in equipment? Even better. Remember, the more you have to do , the less likely other people are doing it. This kills your competition, increases barrier to entry and allows you to hone skills overtime and exploit weaknesses in the industry. It also makes mistakes a lot more forgiving. I used to give talks about human psychology in marketing all around Vermont paid for by the government before everybody and their sister was a “marketer.” I could barely drink before my first $5,000 website deal. I flipped a couple online businesses by being the middle man before M&A blew up. And you know what? I hated all of it and if I wasn’t running full force 24/7 someone was catching up. Now I’m building a moat for work I enjoy that I can be strategic about. It took me speeding up to realize I need to slow down.

  Is eBay cracking down on modded consoles and stuff? I listed an xbox for parts and one i said "Loaded into a modded dashboard" and apparently that was enough to get a warning and the listing removed. I even noticed that searching for Modded Xboxes or "RGH" came up with basically nothing.

  @dear_angel_lacy @imtrashdva @soitgoeslexi I think it’s really ******* annoying to triple down on something like this when someone who acc spent their money on the cd has a review on it. This person got in the queue and bought something. They’re allowed to return it/be dissapointed in it and not sell it on eBay

  @benzibenzion Considering shipping and sales tax, I doubt you’re getting a lot better deals on eBay. And, you get to look at the card in hand before deciding to buy, and you get the card immediately with no problems with shipping!

  $HIMS IMRAN KHAN: "EXECUTION IS THE BEAR CASE THAT WORRIES ME MOST" --- BUT HAVING 2.5 MILLION CUSTOMERS DE-RISKS THE THESIS @dottkhan: "Execution. Ultimately execution is everything. Ideas are a dime a dozen. Building a business requires an insane amount of execution." "At the end of the day, investors are spectators. We are watching a game. Right now the World Cup is going on, Messi does everything. The audience cheers things and boos, but ultimately Messi is the one who's scoring." "So EXECUTION is probably the most underrated thing in the investment world." "Hims is running over a 2.5 million customer base. The big question is, can they grow from there? Did they hit the ceiling? I obviously don't think they hit the ceiling, because they're adding a lot more products and services." "As you add more SKUs, you'll be able to acquire more customers. And you should be able to cross-sell more." "Once you acquire a customer, I might be interested in hair loss, but then I find, okay, I'll use them for my blood test. Or somebody comes for a blood test, then they use them for hair loss. That circular thing I have seen with so many internet companies." "When eBay started, Meg [Whitman] told me she was shocked by what percentage of their customers were only buying Beanie Babies on eBay. The number was between 10 to 20% of GMV. Because that was the product market fit." "You have to add more products and services so that more customers come back, and that creates a viral loop. Your LTV is going up, your CAC is going down, and then everything else is kind of manageable from there."

  Had a guy the other day on eBay... 1. 1 FB 2. About 15 items for sale 3. Listed a 1990 Donruss as an "error" because it said 1989 Leaf 4. Was asking $13,200 5. After I called him on it, he said "I've been doing this a long time... You don't know what you're talking about" 6. Later, after I blasted him, called himself a minor... so therefore... (I) was harassing a minor... 7. Ok
