Noisy (@noisyb0y1) reportedChinese student found a file on GitHub that changes everything. But first he bought 7 Mac Minis on eBay for $1,600 and stacked them in a tower on his desk. Neighbors thought he was building a mining server. He just dropped one file - CLAUDE.md - and connected all seven machines through Ethernet as one. OpenAI co-founder publicly wrote that Claude guesses instead of asking. Writes 1,000 lines where 100 would do. Touches code nobody asked it to touch. Forrest Chang read this and made a fix. Four principles in one file. 44,000 stars in a week. The student dropped it into the tower of seven Mac Minis and went to sleep. In the morning the system closed tasks a junior dev would take a week to finish. Claude didn't guess. Didn't overcomplicate. Asked before doing - not after breaking something. A 10-12 hour task - the tower closes it in 20 minutes. He won the Anthropic hackathon and made $26,000 without a team. $1,600 invested once. One file. Seven machines.

Literally Titler (@AndKansel) reported@TimCunn67668864 @NoticerNews 30 days for a Mirror on a hoopty? 30 bucks on ebay and 5 minutes of work. But they are soy boy lefties so they would happily pay a dealership 1 grand to fix it.

Susie Marie (@SusieMarieM) reported@CommerceGov 🔴 I collect specific tiny antique glass, mostly purchases on Ebay. There is an epic cringe every time I see the Seller shipped via USPS. Irreplaceable items broken, flat lost, galavanting about the Country and showing up a month later. NO, I DO NOT TRUST USPS WITH THE CENSUS!

𝙆𝙔𝙇𝙀 𝙈𝘼𝙉𝙎𝘽𝙍𝙄𝘿𝙂𝙀 (@KyleMansbridge) reportedI was just notified that the buyer we have had many issues with since the 12th opened claims against my business. If eBay tells us they’ve refunded the buyer because of the buyers failings. We never will. Glad to say that eBay held their word to me. This is now over and we won’t be wasting any more time on this buyer and we will never deal with them ever again. 👍🏼

Obelix overview (@markpat89782968) reported@mansell_dave @AndyLeRock Quite possibly I’ve seen one of them go for £300 on eBay it’s going to be my daughter’s problem not mine. I have told her that everyone who turns up to my funeral gets one

🥩SirBeef (@Sir_BeefWelly) reported@JayBobSons I’ve luckily never had an issue with eBay standard envelope 🙏
-
CB (@ChalupaBatmaan) reported@KariDaniels His line has been so underwhelming and that’s coming from someone that likes wearing hoop shoes off the court. The issue 6 isn’t bad, I actually have a couple of colorways from that shoe I might grab off eBay but the line needs some creativity.

Your_Favorite_Mexican (@MikeandLily_UFC) reported@Matt_Rellihan @LastPackMojo I get it. I sold on eBay for years, and its a very nice touch. Of course you want buyers to come back, but people are looking on eBay for cards they want, they arent looking for your store. Returning buyers in the sports card world is rare, especially on eBay. Its more work than what its worth to put the notes in. It happens, sure, but the time you spend doing that isnt worth the number of buyers that will come back. Most buyers just want their card wrapped safely. Even then, they will give you good feedback but not remember your store the next day. Their isnt a way to "favorite" stores on eBay, only to "follow" it. So unless buyers write down and take note of your store name, they dont know which store is yours and will not come back just based on that fact alone. Ive had sellers that I loved and wanted to buy from them again but couldnt find their store the next day because I didnt write it down, and even then, eBay makes it very difficult to search for a store name (yes, I know, its dug way down in the search options). Selling here on Twitter is much more likely to have buyers come back because you can create a personal relationship with them. eBay is by nature not personal, and the note doesnt make a difference. 99 out of 100 buyers wont remember you the next time they are scrolling ebay for their favorite player. They look for teams and players, not your store. You gotta catch their attention other ways. What a personal note DOES do is take a potentially upset buyer and make it difficult for them to leave bad feedback. So maybe it has its place....but unfortunately very rarely will it ever help a buyer find you again.

🌐Coach| Consultant|Graphics Design|🌐 (@IKnowSheTwitent) reportedI'm ready to testifying Court about Amazon's abuses phone ring in terrible behavior I'm ready to absolutely address eBay phone ring terrible behavior and I'm ready to testify about PayPal and the horrific horrible aggravating antics and also sue the family for the damage
-
Fadi (@shahf82) reported@VOC_ai Same pattern on eBay. Analyzed defect feedback across 50K listings and most "not as described" cases traced back to the same 4-5 fitment description fields. Fix the template, not individual tickets. On eBay, defects hit search visibility directly, so the cost shows up faster than a star rating drop.

JustT (@JustT9173) reported@KasConviction @eBay now if I answer their emails,i got a message back of delivery error. I really hope theyll bring back askebay page,they actually helped customers

🔈💙💎 mineral man with zero bass 💎💙🔈 (@drn208) reportedfigured out the third option: track down the phone on eBay since i may never get the password to it. apparently Google won't really work on it anymore

2 Tech's (@twotex2) reportedI really wish yall would fix your website. Its unfortunate bc I love your hats. I have 4 of them but 3 were ordered from a store or ebay bc your website freezes constantly
-
FlyByNight (@Youreright101) reported@BleachStarPoet @GlitchedDeals Resellers. The reason all these pc parts are over MSRP. If the consumer refused to pay 1000$ for a 700$ GPU they'd have to reduce the price. The problem is, people are stupid. I won't buy a 5070ti unless it's 750 or less. And they popup on ebay and FB market every so often.

Augustcool Research (@augustcool) reportedCalifornia unsealed evidence today showing Amazon colluded with retailers like Walmart and Target to fix higher consumer prices. • Amazon pressured vendors to raise prices on competing websites to ensure no other retailer undercut its platform • Common vendors served as go-betweens to coordinate price hikes on sites including Walmart, Target, and eBay • Merchants faced penalties like losing the Buy Box or site suspension for offering lower prices elsewhere • Internal communications revealed Amazon officials vowed to help vendors hunt the price disrupters in the market

Latrian Mind Flayer (@LatrianFlayer) reported@_sportscardshop @CollectionRbt Some guy earlier this week offered me $4k on an Ohtani card I had up for $5K on eBay. I already had $4500 offers that I turned down. It sold 2 days later for $5K. Nobody should be selling for less than eBay comps with him.

HowlingBunghole (@HowlingBunghole) reportedThanks a lot, jerk hole! I went looking for this book on eBay and I fell down a rabbit hole where I spent over $50 bucks on Mack Bolan novels.
-
JAM92 (@JAM92_) reported@PoliteDKnight @eBay @eBay you should make this right. Give this person their money back and let them keep the card for the trouble you caused.

Bailey Invests (@baileyinvests) reportedI don’t have everything figured out. I’m just: – earning what I can💰 – investing what I can📈 – trying to stay consistent🙏 EBay/Vinted reselling is a bit slow this month but we’ll get there💪 That’s it.

Odoreida (@odoreida) reportedneed to know p.UBI+radical life extension to decide whether i buy broken stuff on ebay that i will never get around to repairing otherwise
-
Acid (@gfk_acid) reported@QuindariousG35 @_bismack_ yeah local listings are impossible to catch, and as for smaller marketplaces there's always some trust issues. Not calling them out for that, but I know for a fact their ebay/TCGPlayer scraping is quite incomplete
-
BlackCarTrent (@blackcartrent) reportedThis is why I started reselling. I was donating a ton of stuff to Goodwill. I donated this whole set and they’re selling all the items for $2.99 and some lady just bought 4 of them . It was 73 peices mid 70s, which is pretty slow on eBay but in place like this it’s a gold mine so I’ve started realizing I was giving a lot of money away and now I have almost completely stopped driving because of the reselling and any of you wanting to get out of driving, this is a really good opportunity for you to do something different.
-
JT (@LaPinaFan) reported@j23a45y @CardPurchaser You have every right to determine who you do business with on eBay. I certainly respect that. I've never had anyone complain about how I handle shipping refunds nor do card sales seem to be affected. As I said, I'm winding down eBay sales anyway.

I trade negative RR (@TradeNegative) reported@Cex why ******** does your Bristol branch sell 3070’s for £300+ when you can buy em on eBay for £200 no problems? Almost everything you sell has a ridiculous mark up. 500gb nvme for £90 are you tripping?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@dreamworks2050 @sudoingX Around $8k–$12k total for a solid 8x 3090 node right now. GPUs: 8x used ~$650–$900 each on eBay = $5.2k–$7.2k Rest (EPYC/Threadripper mobo, 256–512GB RAM, 3–4kW PSUs, server chassis, risers): $2.5k–$4.5k Power hungry (3kW+ draw) and needs proper cooling. Rent an 8x first on Runpod/Novita (~$1.70/hr) to test your workflow before buying. Matches what you need for those 27B–31B agents.

Angry Toothpick Jerky (@angrytoothpick) reportedI’ve sold 503 cards on eBay. I have 99.7% positive feedback. The one person who left me back feedback felt unfair. He ordered a $3 card with envelope shipping. I sent it in a Turtle Shell and it weighed half of 3oz at best. Apparently the post office held it ransom and charged him $7 to pick it up. I’ve never seen or heard of that as a seller… never. However, I would have paid for it and refunded the price card in a heartbeat. The buyer is always right and I’m happy to make it right, but the buyer never once messaged me. Never told me they were having an issue and never relayed any info until I saw the negative feedback. Tough out here sometimes 😕

Grok (@grok) reported@TheDumbTechGuy Fact check on the quoted post: Node.js launched in 2009. PayPal (founded 1998) migrated many web apps to it from Java around 2013 and still uses it heavily today. Netflix uses it for API gateways/BFF layers (core backend is mostly Java). LinkedIn used it for mobile servers. Uber was an early adopter for dispatch/marketplace but has shifted much to Go/Java. Walmart rebuilt its site with it. eBay built Node apps. Trello’s server is Node-based. Medium’s main app servers run on it. The list is directionally right—Node.js powers big opportunities—but “built with” often means parts of the stack, not the whole thing. It’s a solid, scalable choice.

The GI Joe Repair Shop (@GIJoeRepairShop) reported@MichaelOrtiz79 @eBay Well, right away, you can see you're going to need a cockpit canopy. The first thing should be an inventory to see what other pieces are missing (use yojoe . com). Then, figure out any missing decals, broken items (like landing gear), etc. That's where I'd start.
