  Want to really change your life? Here’s what I did I accepted responsibility for my results. Not the economy. Not eBay. Not Facebook Marketplace. Not the auction company. Not bad luck. Me. When sales were slow, I looked in the mirror. When inventory wasn’t moving, I looked in the mirror. When I wasn’t making enough money, I looked in the mirror. It was the best lesson I’ve ever learned.

  @BustaThorn I did some research and asking around at the card show we visited, most people said the error is worth $40 ish unless the right buying. We found an error collector 💪 I did see a similar error (same card) in a CGC 9 on eBay listed at $150

  Why your AI eBay listings come out generic and the fix The mistake is structural. A fresh chat every time starts cold no memory of your inventory or standards. Generic in, generic out. The fix: a Claude Project. It stores instructions permanently, so you operate a trained specialist, not a blank chat. The key principle: authentication before pricing. The model confirms the item's era from the photos before it writes a word and never guesses. Why it matters: that step is the gap between a $25 listing and an $80 one. The edge was never the code. It's the instruction that runs first.

  @fintaxdude eBay is easy. Create account. Go to my eBay. Scroll down to scan item. Scan card. Make sure your card matches what pops up and you can see what the card has sold for in the past two years.

  Dork alert and contract question: I bought a football card on a non EBay-site for $70.00. It is one I collect and is worth about $125 if I were to sell it on EBay. Well the seller bailed and didn’t send me card. I got my $70 back but I feel my actual damages are $125 cost to replace. Not my problem he accepted my offer.

  I went to sleep last night with the biggest headache and I woke up without one. Unfortunately my headache is making a return because of how @eBay is becoming a terrible option as a seller. I’ve heard the horror stories but this is now becoming my worse experience so far…

  I love catching @Ebay customer service in a lie and having all the proof I need because their tracking system is having issues that they won't admit it. Oh, and Ebay stop saying they are reps when I can simply type in 3 phrases used by you "rep" in an A.I. generator and it spits out the same response.

  @Whatnot Never ever purchase anything from @Whatnot . Awful customer service, unhelpful and don’t care at all about their users. I cannot stress this enough, if you are in Canada, completely AVOID this site. Absolutely terrible, I will continue using eBay only.

  The Net Profit question often appears in my DMs and comments when I post about buying and selling. Is there easy, passive income profit when buying products from auctions to resale? Nope. But here's how I made $557,127 profit from doing a ton of research about a product line I knew nothing about. Let's start with why I wanted to try this experiment. I’m a tech guy who builds tech companies. As you know from my previous posts, I always try to impress my awesome wife. But when I had 56,347 iPhones and iPads in my warehouse, the women in my life were not impressed. Then, I brought home a box of designer handbags that I came across, and the women in my life lost their minds. There was something here. I could feel it. I had just sold TechRestore and wanted to build a company with zero employees, using social commerce and building it just with my phone. I love starting over at 0. So, I began researching to be sure these handbags could be a good business. First, you swim upstream. I bought handbags from all the major players on social commerce sites like Poshmark and eBay. I wanted to see how their packaging looked, how their sales funnel functioned, and how they handled returns. All of these: not very good. I know how to do these 3 things very well. Just with computer parts, not handbags. How different could it be? Opportunity? Yes. I then needed suppliers. I have a great database of suppliers that find me very credible. Why? Because I am consistent, I pay on time and never complain about small problems. It took me 11 months to strike gold. After 149 calls and 348 emails (I track this stuff), one supplier referred me to another (probably just to shut me up), and I found my source. During these 11 months, I had been “warming up” my accounts on social commerce platforms. Learning how Poshmark worked, meeting the managers of the eBay handbag channel. Anything I could do to build credibility. About a year into it, I knew how to build followers on these marketplaces, how the shipping worked, how customer service functioned, and how to talk to primarily female customers buying handbags. I started selling. Like a rocket ship, the combination of a good supplier, great customer service, and business practices took off, and I started to get attention. So much attention that the CEO of Poshmark invited me to visit their headquarters. Uh oh! I am pretty sure they thought I was a woman. With my name and the fact that I wanted to make my female customers feel comfortable, I only posted pictures of me with my wife – I’m sure they were surprised when a dude with a beard showed up at their office. After a laugh, I got a tour and met with the CEO for a Q&A session. Super amazing. This post is getting long, so let’s fast forward: I sold over 7000 handbags on Poshmark and other social commerce marketplaces—$ 3.7M in revenue and $557,127 in profit. 83% of the handbags I sold, I bought from auctions. I did a bunch of consulting for Poshmark, and they loved me so much that I got access to their IPO. I still don’t know anything about fashion. However, I know how to find the delta between buying and selling and how to implement systems that work. I had so much fun and learned so much that I wrote a book about it. Poshmark Unlocked has sold thousands of copies, and I learned how to start a publishing business. Can anyone do this? Absolutely. It takes time, a willingness to spend hours doing research, experimenting and access to some capital. If you want to learn more about unconventional methods of building businesses and wealth, give me a follow @ShannonJean - I promise that it will be interesting and fun!

  I want eBay shut down. They are contaminating innocent people. Zombie apocalypse of criminals online. I got an eye infection from the first one, and I'm not even trying the second one. Both packages are sealed for 60 days in the garage. Protocol to have but not use. It's the LAW.

  @Tetradugenikid initiate a return with ebay, you’ll get a return label to amazon. swap the item with some garbage back to amazon. either the dropshipper will get in trouble or amazon will just accept it and you get the item for free

  @0xSammy there different sources(eBay is obviously one) , I’m currently talking to some people who do more exotic oracles also, I’ll post a whole like methodology/rundown in a few days on it so people know where it is. I think probably doing 2-3 sources and averaging the data is most fair. But honestly biggest issue is it doesn’t move much, it’s not volatile enough haha. So doing an index of top 500 cards (like a poke-SP500), but yeah I still got to take care of this oracle issue.

  @Rishibets @PolymarketSport If you got them on eBay yes. Upside down logos, or two different logos. There were lots of them. Unless you’re saying you were not 5 years old back then.

  I'm seeing lots of issues recently with sending cards via eBay Standard Envelope. Seems a lot of post offices are cracking down on rigidity with toploaders, especially if the postage is less than $1.32 or 3 oz. I'm thinking of switching to card savers but customers seems to really like top loaders for pwe. Anyone ship out ESE with card savers and have any customer complaints?

  Everyone is going to screenshot the $10,000/month number and skip the part that actually matters. The pipeline here is real. Phone camera scans a shelf with Gemini vision, outputs structured JSON, feeds it to Claude, Claude writes the eBay listing. That's a clean, working architecture. And the anti-hallucination prompt is the smartest piece in the whole thread. Forcing honest condition reporting and policy compliance is what separates a listing that sells from one that gets your account flagged. Most "automate your store" guides skip this entirely. It's even honest about the eBay sold-price limitation — that you still validate manually in Terapeak. That caveat alone tells you the technical part was written by someone who actually tried it. Then it lands on "150 subscribers in 3-4 weeks for $7,500/month" and turns back into a pitch. Here's the honest split: the system is buildable this weekend. The income projection is a fantasy slide. Acquiring 150 paying resellers in a month isn't an engineering problem you solve with an API key — it's a distribution problem most builders never crack. So build the pipeline. Use the prompt. Ignore the revenue math. The tech is the asset. The $10k is the bait.

  @Houseknech9360 @wilsonhlthcoach That’s awesome. We all lived that experience for the last fifty years. I repeated it a dozen times managing work trucks for the family business. There used to be a time when $2000 and eBay motors would get me a Toyota basic pickup or gmc sierra or ford f150 that would survive a year of employees abusing it. Good times. Many memories of all the times I had to flat tow a broken down truck back to the office and decide if it was worth fixing. Maintenance crews are awesome, they’d just leave a truck full of tools and walk home to call me, maybe stop for a pack of cigarettes on the way. No hurry at all. Thank god for cellphones in the early millennium right? That let me add managing employees phones to the list of things I did automatically. Phones were less trouble than trucks though. Anyway the point is that there’s a time in life when you’ll put up with the inexpensive but time consuming and it’s honorable and productive and all that. Then there’s a time when you’re just not willing to mess with it anymore for whatever reason. That’s when it makes sense to buy a Tesla. You’ll just spend less time screwing with the mechanics of moving yourself around. You’ll realize driving is a part time job that stresses you out and makes your back hurt and increases your distraction. Just pick a place you need to be with your phone and share the link to your Tesla. It’ll be ready to leave when you get in. Seatbelt, tap the screen, and take a break or make calls or have a coffee or pet your dog while you don’t worry about traffic.

  @eBay The AI isn’t doing its job for your company, just like it’s not working with all others. All it does is fail to find any issues when’s human could easily see the issue. Example: Seller is claiming a 1/1 card is X when it’s really a Y. I report it, and AI finds no issues.
