  I seriously want to get this made… I can obviously find a place in China to do it, but does anyone have any local suggestions? I can get Adidas logos and the FC Cincy badge off eBay so the copyrighted stuff isn’t an issue… I just need a good sublimated jersey maker

  @BareLeft It's terrible & dated. Mad that they seem to pivoting to "Ebay Live Auctions" as if to replicate Chinese social media commerce model. When you look at the success of Vinted as a very simple, functional buy/sell app, Ebay looks archaic & jumbled

  Bill Gates’ daughter has been caught up in a major fraud scandal that could land her in federal prison for up to 20 years. Phoebe Gates, the 23-year-old daughter of the world’s most famous billionaire, co-founded a browser extension called Phia that was marketed as a helpful “personal shopping assistant” designed to find better fashion deals for users while earning commissions the legitimate way. Instead, a Bloomberg investigation and internal Slack messages have revealed that the company was allegedly running a classic cookie-stuffing scheme, silently opening background tabs, forcing its own tracking cookies onto users’ browsers, and then claiming commissions on sales it never actually drove through fake or simulated clicks. What makes this especially damaging is that Phoebe was not in the dark about the practice. In a December message to her team she specifically asked them to “confirm auto pop for cookie drop is live on ALL sites… to confirm we are monetizing on all [gross merchandise volume],” while her co-founder continued pushing to keep the system active even after engineers raised compliance concerns. When the feature was finally disabled, Phia’s average daily revenue collapsed from around $80,000 to as low as $10,000–$28,000, and cookie stuffing reportedly accounted for 51% of the sales the company claimed credit for in a single month. Corporate attorney Ariel Givner has warned that this exact conduct is typically treated as federal wire fraud in U.S. courts, carrying a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison along with fines and restitution. There is already clear precedent: an affiliate marketer who ran a similar scheme against eBay (which ironically invested in Phia) was convicted and sent to federal prison. Phoebe has spent years insisting her startup would succeed with “no ties to my privilege or my last name,” yet the internal records now paint a very different picture of a company whose growth appears to have relied heavily on quietly siphoning commissions it did not earn. For a billionaire’s daughter who positioned herself as an independent entrepreneur, this scandal has suddenly become far more than a PR problem.

  @No_Pie_2109 As far as chewy, you couldn't invest with him because it was a private company he founded, which he then sold, and didn't become profitable until after he sold it. And as far as ebay, you couldn't know to buy when he bought and if you bought when the news broke you'd be down.

  @PabloGRadio Exactly that proves your point. Trust me , eBay is very easy to deal with when you're a buyer with a complaint. It's why I drafted that up for you. So you have evidence and just cut down on the hassle. You don't have to use mine but do something similar

  Cash Flow Files (@CashFlowFiles) reported 40 minutes ago

  A 21-year-old student needed money for college. So he created one of the dumbest-sounding businesses imaginable: He sold pixels on a website for $1 each. 5 months later, he had made $1,037,100. Here’s how: In 2005, Alex Tew was worried about taking on student debt. He had no big audience. No investors. No revolutionary technology. He just had an idea: Create a webpage with 1,000,000 pixels. Sell every pixel for $1. Businesses could buy blocks of pixels, put their logo on them, and link back to their website. Simple math: 1,000,000 pixels × $1 = $1,000,000 The problem? Nobody knew the site existed. So Alex convinced friends and family to buy the first few blocks. After the site made its first $1,000, he pushed the story to the press. That changed everything. The weirdness of the idea became the marketing. People weren’t just buying ad space anymore. They were buying a piece of an internet experiment everyone was talking about. More press created more traffic. More traffic made the ad space more valuable. More advertisers created an even crazier-looking homepage. Which created even more press. It became a loop. By the end, 999,000 pixels were sold. Instead of selling the final 1,000 for $1 each, Alex auctioned them on eBay. Winning bid: $38,100. Total gross revenue: $1,037,100. (Wikipedia) The lesson isn’t “go sell pixels.” That opportunity worked because it was novel. The lesson is better: Sometimes the product isn’t what makes the money. The story around the product creates the distribution. And distribution can turn something almost worthless… into something people fight to buy.

  @drewscardshop @PSAcard @eBay Same thing. But mine had random plastic crap floating around. I had to open a return case and then specify it was only authentication that was the problem, not seller. Unfortunately seller has a hold on funds now even though it’s not their fault.

  @KILLLSEANKELLY @badger_breaks @CardVaultKC I was not wrong about anything. They made shipping $50…if it were an accident, how did they (really you) “fix it” and now it’s $5.50? You can’t “accidentally” make shipping $50. And you told me via message on eBay that it was an accident. Surprised you didn’t tell me your kid did it. Again, it’s not that serious and am ready to move on whenever you’d like

  after this i am done done done with spending, i went way over WAY over my budget just these past few weeks with all the retro stuff, which then got me into eBay and mercari hunting for rare **** and bah. and suddenly i am a collector. nothing will EVER compare to the money dumpage of the scam of whatnot and Pokemon cards. THAT will ******* suck you dry, in a very bad way. when i was into the whatnot app a year or two back i was just throwing away money left and right, it was so terrible. i will never make that mistake again that’s for sure. that was ******.

  @KristjanBackman You could definitely scale the fb to ebay arbitrage but it wouldn't look like $1,200 net most of the time. My encouragement to anyone with that approach to flipping electronics would be to have net minimums and just a few asset classes you know really well. (Ex: RAM, SSD, & Laptops. $100 per deal net min.) Then it would be a matter of shotgun blasting lots of offers. Very doable with a small amount of time to make a few hundred bucks net per week. I typically only do one or two purchases like this per month since it's not worth it for me to slow down for smaller net deals but fun when they land for sure!

  @AdamSykesWirral First mover. It’s hard to compete when the first mover is so far ahead. The only real competitor would be someone like Tesco who could (if they haven’t) open their website to other suppliers like Walmart has. But even Walmarts selection doesn’t come close to Amazon. The problem is attracting suppliers in the first place, eg the Chinese. And they already have it covered with Amazon. And remember, Amazon only took #1 spot because EBay screwed everything up 15 years ago.

  In the fall of 2007, a professor at Yale walked into a lecture hall twice a week, picked up chalk, and drew four columns on the board: first-price sealed bid, second-price sealed bid, English auction, Dutch auction. The course is ECON 159. The professor is Ben Polak. The recording has been sitting free on Yale Open Courses for almost two decades, and almost nobody who trades on auctions every single day has ever watched it. That's a mistake. Those four columns aren't classroom abstraction. They're literally the architecture of how your money gets taken. eBay is an ascending auction with proxy bidding, a variant of the English format. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction: you don't pay your own bid, you pay the bid of the person you just beat. Government bond sales run as Dutch descending auctions. Three platforms, three mechanisms, three different ways to extract the most out of you — and almost none of the people bidding ever ask which format they're actually standing inside. Later on the board comes Nash equilibrium: the point where nobody can do better by changing their move alone. Sounds academic until you realize every market price, every negotiated salary, every closed-tender bid is exactly that. And one rule Polak repeats every single semester like an axiom: never play a strictly dominated strategy. If an option is worse than another no matter what happens, it isn't a real choice — cross it out. Traders break this rule constantly when they average down into a losing position, because locking in the loss hurts more than doubling down does. 24 lectures. Free. Problem sets and exams included. The whole thing fits in about thirty pages of equations. There's nothing left to pay for — Yale already gave it away. The only real cost is sitting through 24 hours of game theory before you open a terminal or place a bid, not after.

  My garage is a nerds *********... Anyone interested? Shoot me the right number and I'd let it all go. The only problem is I dunno what that number is till I hear it lol. I'll drive the whole lot out of state if need be. The next couple weeks I'll be going through it and pricing everything. I'm sure there's some unicorns in there. Once I have all that done we will be setting up an Ebay page in my father in laws name to sell it all unless someone scoops it up before all that. I can't even fathom how much he spent on all this... @Wizards_DnD @Wizards

  predicting your future is ridiculously difficult. at least for me: 2006: thought I‘d become a neuroscientist, doctor or software engineer  2008: studied economics and thought I‘d become a quant/consultant/banker 2010: barely attended class as I grinded HU Online Poker from $50 -> $100k and thought I‘d be a millionaire in my 20s  2011: FullTilt Black Friday and thought online poker is dead (sooo wrong in hindsight) 2012: Joined Tesla 2012 to help sell the Roadster in Munich and thought I‘d be supporting the EV mission the next 10yrs Tesla had no job extension for me (broke my heart). Joined Wayfair in Berlin and hunted across furniture trade shows to persuade manufacturers to sell online.  2015: declined an offer from Amazon in Munich and thought we stay in Berlin 2016: accepted an offer from Ricardo (eBay of Switzerland) and relocated to Switzerland 2019: wrote off my remaining $50k in Tesla stock and thought at least I supported a mission I love 2020: promoted to Chief Commercial Officer at Ricardo and thought I might have a chance to lead it one day 2021: $50k in Tesla turned into $ 4M+ on paper, quit Ricardo, hedged portfolio buying physical metals, $/€/CHF and 1yr deep OOM puts on QQQ and thought I‘m financially free for life 2022: „I‘m born for this and will hit $ 10M+ by end of the year“ as my QQQ puts went bananas | Dec: portfolio -50% YoY as puts expired worthless and largest positions: Tesla/BTC down 75% 2023: after trying 1.5 yrs to get a second child we decided to just be happy with one. 2nd child born at the end of 2023 2024 (Auction)Shack launched with basically zero usage. Thought it‘s over before it started 2025: largest Swiss newspaper reported on Shack, we hit rank 1 on the iOS charts in Switzerland, expanding to other countries and thought we‘d be at $100M val in no time (having awesome funding available to build the most value for regular sellers). 2026: banging my head against walls to close institutional funding at $4M val and thinking: what does the pattern have in store for 2027 bottom line: I‘ve been incredibly lucky and predictions (even about one’s own future) are not trivial
