Brendale Sportscards (@BFritz09) reported@premiercards_2 Already have. I’ve been with eBay over 20 years. I’ve seen it all. I’ve been with them for all their policy rollouts. Whats the process PSA does with the cards? And the policy sucks be issue it only favors the buyers.

The buyer pays for it so its not like its coming from your profit.. Unless you dont charge enough... The problem isnt ebay.. Its you.. Simple as that

Founder Tribune (@Founder_Tribune) reportedSheryl Sandberg on the best hiring pitch she's ever received: Sandberg is talking about what her parents taught her. Working on things that matter, and doing "the right thing for the right reason." She's blunt about the unglamorous part: "all the stuff out there on grit and determination and working in things that are challenging is all true." There's "no substitute for hard work." But hard work alone isn't the lesson. The lesson is who it's for. "We need to remind kids that they're not just doing for them, they're contributing. And we need to remind people of that in the workplace." Then she tells the story she calls the best hiring experience she's ever had, the one she put in Lean In. Lori Goler was at eBay in marketing. She called Sandberg when Sandberg went to Facebook and said: "I think I want to come work with you at Facebook." What came next is the part worth stealing: "So, I thought I'd call you and tell you all the things I like to do and all the things I'm good at, but I figure everyone's doing that. So, instead, I'm going to call you and say, 'What's your biggest problem and how can I solve it?'" Sandberg's frustration is that the story is famous and nobody copies it: "Lean In sold millions of copies, millions of people have hopefully read at least part of the book... But I don't see that many people coming into the workplace asking what they can do for the company." Her promise, if you flip it: "Ask what you can do. I promise you will get mentors, you will get sponsors, you will get results, you will get promotions, you will get opportunities by contributing." And the reason the self-focused version fails: "If it is about you, it won't happen because organizations are not about you." Organizations are about their mission. "And when you serve that mission, and when you work hard towards the betterment of the people around you. And I think I learned that at home, that's where real success comes from." The obvious move here is to treat "what's your biggest problem?" as a networking script. Sandberg closes that door herself: "But you can't fake it. You can't be like, 'I'm going to pretend to care about everyone else in our mission to get myself ahead.' That won't work. You actually have to care." Which turns the whole thing into a filtering problem rather than a technique. If the caring has to be real, then the decision that matters happens before the interview: "So, you have to go work someplace with people you can care about and with a mission you can care about."

Zyphor (@Zyphorrl) reportedEinstein never made a dollar from relativity. The Wright brothers flew the first plane and died broke. Every railroad baron who connected a continent went bankrupt. They created everything. They captured nothing. Google made $50,000,000,000 in one year selling search. Airlines moved 800,000,000 passengers and made approximately zero profit across their entire 100-year history. One is more important to civilization. The other is worth four times more. Peter Thiel spent one Stanford lecture explaining why - and why most people have it completely backwards. This is Stanford, How to Start a Startup. He called it Competition is for Losers. He opens with one formula: value created times percent captured. X times Y. The mistake everyone makes is thinking X and Y move together. Then the lies. Monopolies pretend they are not monopolies - Google calls itself an advertising company. 3.5% of a $500,000,000,000 market. Not a monopoly - just a minnow in an ocean. Startups with nothing unique do the opposite. They call themselves the only British restaurant in Palo Alto. Then the small market rule. Amazon started as a bookstore. PayPal started with 20,000 eBay power sellers. Facebook started with 10,000 people at Harvard - 0 to 60% market share in 10 days. Everyone called these markets too small to matter. That was the point. Then last mover. 75% of a tech company's value comes from cash flows after year 10. First mover gets a one-third **** advantage. Last mover wins the game. The question is never who got there first. The question is who stays. Then the personal story. Thiel graduated Stanford, got a job at a top New York firm everyone wanted to enter and everyone wanted to leave. Left after 7 months and 3 days. A colleague told him: it's reassuring to see you leave. I had no idea it was possible to escape from Alcatraz. All you had to do was walk out the front door. Watch the moment he redefines loser. We think losers are people who can't compete. He argues the real losers are the ones who compete hardest - in markets so crowded that winning means capturing nothing. A founder I know replayed this before turning down a Series A that wanted him to go after a larger market. Said it was the first time saying no to money felt like strategy rather than fear. Free on YouTube, Stanford. bookmark this and watch later - after this lecture every crowded market you see will feel like a sign someone already lost

POKEGRID CARD CO. (@POKEGRIDCC) reported@radioofam @CardPurchaser I've had the same issue happen a few times. Unfortunately, some buyers will receive the card and take advantage of this. Calling eBay customer support is the best way to handle this situation. eBay will refund the buyer on their end and you will be able to keep the funds.

UnjustSwine (@UnjustSwine) reported@gizmo38_323 @Kidskull51 eBay doesn't really care they get their cut of the sale so why take it down

Mr_Pool_Shot (@Mr_Pool_Shot) reported@eBay IT take a special kind of stupid to have a broken search system this long.

Matt H. (@MrTeslAZ) reported@IowaTesla Wow! Now I’m wondering how long mine will last. In Phoenix summers, my garage goes over 105 regularly, (drops to like 90 at night). My only potential saving grace is I charge super low at like 5-8a typically. Hope you get your issue resolved, and if not keep that beautiful red glass to use on your next charger. I recently found a blue one on eBay for an absurdly high price. I wish the still sold them in the shop. Good Luck Jim!

G (@gianmt) reported@askebay I am completely locked out of my eBay account. When trying to sign in, the security system prompts a legacy verification screen asking me to call the phone number 02 006 31 268, which is disconnected There is no option to choose, creating an endless loop.

Bargain Sports Collectibles (@bargainsportsco) reportedUpdate person still accepted the card. Listen I get why eBay authentication is needed. But, this was just annoying. They referenced “surface” issues with the slab… like what… it’s a slab
-
älëx (PJ) (@agixjones) reported@RecoveriX__HQ @eBay I’ve submitted multiple reports to eBay, and both times they determined that the seller was not in violation. The seller claimed he provided me with a return label, but he never did. eBay then instructed me to resolve the issue directly with the seller, but he hasn’t answered.

Dan (@inoboediamDan) reported@XBOX What do you know. EBay showing listings for the Xbox series X25. Ranging from $2000-$4500. Hope you crack down on this Microsoft and cancel those pre orders

Adam Cook (@acook783) reported@radioofam @CardPurchaser Following this as I've ran into similar issues as a buyer and seller on eBay lately. Some cards are scanned properly and others make it look like it wasn't shipped. Very inconsistent.

ChrisJH1878 (@chrisjhocking22) reported@CarrMillite @RoyalMail Royal Mail are shocking. I sold something on eBay. Packed it, sent it and Royal Mail lost it. Refused to reimburse me and said it was eBay’s problem. EBay say it’s Royal Mails issue. I had to refund the parcel even though it was not my fault. I’m down £70 now

Jimmy Garant (@JimmyGaran81046) reported@Adiofreak @C37484Olibher It doesn't cost anything to open another account. Why go to the trouble if its just a personal buy-crap-from-ebay account?
-
Brohei Brohtani (@MondayHeinz) reported@phillycardboard Two things here… One, people don’t understand how a business runs. If a card is going for $1000 and they give you $850, they are banking on the fact that card does not go down in value. But they also have to pay for the building and the employees and all of that. And eBay takes 10-13%, and don’t need to deal with shipping etc. Two, this is awesome because I live in St. Louis and I love to have another option!

GundamFan (@0Gundamfan2) reported@Saturday_Anime I have a similar issue i have so many options parts i might bag up and put on ebay

LL Ghoul J (@TomTomerson) reported@strangecapers92 I hadn't bought anything in a long time from ebay and didn't realize you had to pay immediately now, and I had been having some trouble with my bank account/scammer stuff.....not fun. I was that buyer! (PSA 8 Lamine Yamal Purple Mojo card)
-
Laz🕷 (@lazaro9904) reported@Xbox_SUPERFAN People are reporting listings and they are being taken down. One instance of ebay listings is not an accurate determination on whether the item wasn’t botted. I’m sure several people are waiting to list theres and follow ebay guidelines to avoid being delisted.
-
MEGACARDINVESTOR (@ALTPEPEEEEEEE) reported@isBlessedaWish The only thing is, even if I got a sale on eBay, there’s an issue with international shipping as I reckon there will be much international interest. It lays heavily on the seller to ship it, insure and because of the amount, there would be no authentication guaranteed. It’s way too risky unless the buyer came in person to pick it up and the deal was made with a wire. Even for a domestic sale, I’d be extremely wary of shipping on my own this card to a buyer or eBay. The burden should lie with the auction house. Fanatics will send you an insured label for next day shipping to their location. Be better to just hop on a plane and drop it off.

𝐁𝐒𝐏𝟑 (@RealBSP3) reported@Radios4Freedom @Nissan Yes. They told Ebay I was fraudulently selling an item (a used part from a 20 year old Infiniti), which not only removed the listing, but penalized my account. I'm not the only one. Nissan burned many bridges, and they'll never recover the enthusiasts who left, who were the only ones defending Nissan against criticism. I just went through a long Grok thing about it, because I had it examine my post for fun, but Nissan is in more trouble than it looks like they are. They're climbing the hill, but there's no bridge at the top to the next one, and nobody's going to step up to catch them when they tip over the next side.
