    @Stonkfather2021 The problem with your maths is as soon as they start buying billions worth of shares... its going to drive the price of Ebay up significantly per share also majority of eBay shares are held by institutions.

    Anyone have an issue where your eBay listing is getting 0 views, but an exact same listing from someone else has tons of views and watchers? Mine is showing 0 viewers and been up for over 24 hours. Doesn’t even show in the search. @CardPurchaser

    @alt_w_v_g Just my 2 Cents, but a big problem plaguing eBay right now is sellers who drop ship items from Amazon. Any seller that does this, I give them a neutral review. At one time, I went out of my way NOT to buy from Amazon, and it pi$$ed me off!

    @Jbm_dev Because listing industrial electronic items on eBay through eBays app takes to long especially when all the details of the items matter and typing them allows for too much human error. I built a Ebay listing agent that allows you to just take multiple pictures of the item especially the name plate, then it drafts the Ebay listing while you are off taking the next set of photos. Not to mention it sets a price based off of eBay sales as well as historical data and google data. At the end of the day you have a big list of drafts to review to ensure accuracy and then you do a bulk listing push to Ebay live. I've reduced the time to list one item from 8 minutes down to less than 1 minute.

    @alt_w_v_g I think @ebay is a giant bore. Once a year I buy a vintage computer there that's about all that's left. And you can't call or talk to anyone if you have a problem it _feels_ like a scam.

    @alt_w_v_g EBay is a dumpster fire. They openly let buyers scam sellers by letting them say they didn’t receive an item and automatically reimburse the buyer from the sellers account. I shut it down a few years ago now. Scammers everywhere

    $gme I think scam Street has all this arranged. Push down the price of GME and push up the price of eBay to 125 where they can say to shareholders see, look you don’t need a buyout. The stock price is high right now. ceo should sell the 5 percent and make 2 billion

    @alphafox @jo42993661 I started using @mercari_app in 2018. It's better and safer than eBay still, but I have slowly watched it turn and head down the same path. Fees rising, required promotions etc. I'm expecting by 2030 it will be just like eBay.

    🚨GAMESTOP JUST TRIED TO BUY EBAY FOR $56 BILLION🚨 Ryan Cohen walks in with a $125/share cash+stock offer, says he'll fix their bloated mess using our 1,600 stores for real-world fulfillment... and eBay's board cries "not credible" like scared little kids. This is the SAME Ryan Cohen who turned a "dying" GameStop into a $10B+ beast with a war chest of cash while shorts have been bleeding since 2021. They laughed at us then. They're sweating now. Apes aren't selling. Diamond hands only. The real squeeze is just getting started. $GME #GameStop #RyanCohen #ApesTogetherStrong

    @Hellaorganics I love whatnot. It’s the best place to go for items especially when you don’t have the time or ability to head to a card show or lcs. eBay is cool for somethings but on whatnot, you can get steals, have amazing selections, see rare items or, depending on the seller, get a real good look at the cards prior to buying. Some buyers love swirls so they highlight them for the buyers who care for it. I would never recommend rip n shipping but it’s there if you chose too. Whatnot has very good technical support and a legit check system. And the best part is that all I have to do is sit my fat *** down, use my fat *** finger and swipe to get something I want and delivered to my doorstep. I don’t have to use up gas and my time to potentially get disappointed.

    Triangulation Fraud vs "Dropshipping" It's not uncommon for $EBAY buyers to receive orders "dropshipped" from Amazon, Walmart etc. There are many variations on the fraud, but generally: If it uses stolen credit card = crime No stolen cc = just terrible eBay buyer experience.

    @Gammitin A bit like eBay sellers offering a TV set they bought for 10.000 DEM in 1995 because it was one of the first and largest 16:9 HD sets - and wonder why no one places a starting bid of 160 EUR and wants to carry a 60 kg piece of trash down five storeys in a house without a lift.

    Idk.. I dont see how this goes bad for Gamestop in any way. I honestly dont. All eyes on Ebay. Ebay deal doesn't go through? - Cohen sells all shares purchased and sells his call portion of the pairs. - When he does, the price of Ebay decreases, and in doing so, shorts pile in. He rides this downslide and cashes in on the puts on the way down. - Gamestop collects BIG. - At this point Ebay would be even cheaper. And you could essentially do the exact same process over again with bigger exposure.. Ebay accepts the deal? - Ryan creates a money making, de-leveraging machine. - Debt will be paid off very quickly and the bloat cut almost instantly. - Net profit would skyrocket. Debt paid off quick. - Any "dilution" wouldnt be noticed by shareholders at all. It is truly win win. Price action only currently allows opportunities to those in a position to buy. Remember idk ****!

    @Shakunetsu3S ebay showing me 1.5-3k usd, which isn't surprising but I was wondering if that was it. Was snooping through jp proxy sites and found some for cheaper, but varying levels of quality I'm not in any rush to buy one, just thinking about getting one later down the line

    Important to note: seller reports of being randomly charged ad fees for months old orders started coming in on June 6, 2025. Date on the eBay community staff "system error" post: June 12, 2025. So it took 6 days for $EBAY to come up with that nonsense, making this a perfect example of not only predatory ad practices but terrible customer service too. 👎

    @Stonkfather2021 they offered a combined $56B in cashes and gamestop stocks. ebay turned it down earlier this week. By your math, gamestop was willing to overpay for ebay and they were still denied.

    Ok, I have to say it. I have issues with how Ryan Cohen has done things. The warrants are an example of that. But I do think he did spend considerable time planning out this Ebay proposal. Too many are laughing at him. This guy has a relationship with Carl Icahn. Do you not think Ryan had some deep thoughts on this with him? I'm sure multiple scenario analysis has been done. And for Chuck Gasbag to suddenly start talking positive about him and GME? Yeah, something is still coming.

    You can walk into any Apple Store in America, buy $50,000 in MacBooks and iPhones on 0% business credit cards, and resell every single item for 85 to 95% of retail on eBay, Swappa, and Facebook Marketplace the same day. Cash in your bank account by Friday This is how people convert 0% credit limits into liquid cash without Plastiq, without Melio, and without paying a 2.85% processing fee The Apple Store accepts credit cards for purchases up to $50,000. No questions. No ID beyond what's needed for Apple Pay. You walk in, buy 8 MacBook Pros at $2,499 each, and walk out with $19,992 on your Chase Ink Business Unlimited at 0% APR List them on eBay as "Brand New Sealed" at $2,199 each. They sell in 24 to 48 hours because sealed Apple products have the highest resale velocity of any consumer electronics on earth. People buy them because they're getting a $300 discount on a product that never goes on sale $2,199 x 8 = $17,592 in eBay revenue eBay + PayPal fees (13%): -$2,287 Your net cash received: $15,305 You spent $19,992 on a credit card. You got $15,305 in cash. You "lost" $4,687 "That's a terrible deal" No. You converted $19,992 in credit into $15,305 in LIQUID CASH at a cost of $4,687. That's a 23.5% conversion fee Plastiq charges 2.85% but has a $100K annual limit and many payees are restricted. Melio charges 2.85% but some payments take 5 to 7 days and large amounts trigger manual review The Apple resale method has: No annual limit (buy as much as they'll sell you) No payment restrictions (it's a retail purchase) No manual review (it's a credit card transaction at a store) Cash in your bank within 3 to 5 days (eBay payouts are fast) And you can improve the conversion rate dramatically: iPhones resell at 92 to 96% of retail (better than MacBooks). A $1,199 iPhone 16 Pro Max sells for $1,050 to $1,100 on Swappa within 48 hours. That's only a 5 to 8% loss after fees iPads resell at 88 to 93% of retail AirPods Max resell at 85 to 90% Apple Watches resell at 82 to 88% The optimal mix for maximum cash extraction: $30,000 in iPhone 16 Pro Max units (25 phones at $1,199): resell at $1,080 avg = $27,000 - 13% fees = $23,490 net. Loss: $6,510 (21.7%) $20,000 in iPad Pro units (10 iPads at $1,999): resell at $1,799 avg = $17,990 - 13% fees = $15,651 net. Loss: $4,349 (21.7%) Total credit card spend: $50,000 Total cash received: $39,141 Conversion rate: 78.3% Effective "fee": 21.7% "21.7% is way worse than Plastiq's 2.85%" Yes. If Plastiq works for your use case, use Plastiq. The Apple method is for when you need: More than $100K liquidated (Plastiq has limits) Cash in 3 days not 7 No paper trail linking credit cards to bank deposits through a payment processor (the cash appears as eBay/PayPal revenue, not as a Plastiq transfer) Amounts above $25K per transaction (Melio flags large single payments) The people doing this at scale aren't converting $50K. They're converting $200K to $500K across multiple Apple Stores, Best Buys, Costcos, and authorized resellers. At that volume they have eBay stores with Top Rated Seller status, which reduces fees to 10.5% and pushes the conversion rate to 82 to 85% There's also the Amazon Retail Arbitrage version: buy Apple products at retail, sell on Amazon as a third-party seller, Amazon pays out every 2 weeks. The conversion rate is similar but Amazon's customer base is willing to pay closer to retail for the Prime badge and the Amazon return policy A guy in our network converts $80K to $100K per month from credit cards to cash using this exact method across Apple, Costco, and Best Buy. His blended conversion rate after eBay fees and marketplace fees: 81%. He converts $100K in credit into $81K in cash every month $81K in cash from $100K in 0% credit. His "cost" of $19K per cycle is his equivalent of a processing fee. He treats it as a cost of capital. $19K to access $81K in free cash for 15 months = effective annualized cost of 18.6% "18.6% is expensive" Compared to what? An MCA (merchant cash advance) charges 40 to 150% effective APR A hard money loan charges 12 to 18% + 2 to 3 points A personal loan at 680 score charges 15 to 24% APR A credit card balance at standard APR: 24.99% 18.6% annualized for UNSECURED CASH with NO APPLICATION PROCESS, NO UNDERWRITING, and NO REPAYMENT SCHEDULE beyond minimums at 0% for 15 months is cheaper than almost every alternative source of liquid capital for someone without assets to collateralize And the credit card rewards on $100K in Apple Store purchases: roughly $2,000 to $3,000 in points. That drops the effective cost to 15.6 to 16.6% btw the IRS doesn't track retail purchases on credit cards. The purchase shows up as "APPLE STORE #R123" on your credit card statement. The eBay revenue shows up as income from your eBay seller account. If your LLC is the eBay seller, the purchase is a "business inventory expense" and the revenue is "product sales." The accounting is clean this is the emergency version of the liquidation play. when you need cash in 72 hours, can't wait for Plastiq, and need more than $25K. you walk into Apple, buy everything they'll sell you, walk out, list it on eBay, and have cash in your bank by Friday. the most liquid asset in America isn't gold or bitcoin. it's a sealed iPhone lmfaooo (we get 700+ score business owners $100K-$250K in 0% business funding. how you liquidate is your business. we build the capital stack. link in bio)
