  Hey @eBay @eBayde, what’s up with the endless security loops when using a VPN? Half the world uses a VPN for many reasons nowadays. The constant, repetitive verification checks even without VPN are incredibly annoying! Fix your login system! #eBay

  @idealideas Here is my hope. @ryancohen saying something like... "We see that eBay isn't willing to work with us, so we have asked Carl to help, and as a show of our partnership, gme has invested in 35m shares of IEP, and on top of that, I have personally acquired 35m shares of IEP, now let's go after eBay together." My penis would explode. I would need MOASS money to then fix my penis.

  Here's the thing — recyclers quote cracked screens in a defined 'faulty' category. A cracked Galaxy S24 can still fetch £80-£120. eBay? Lowball offers, dispute risks, and you're competing with repair shops bulk-listing identical broken stock.

  Someone explain to me why a card I listed yesterday can’t be found under searches on eBay. It’s a GOAT too. I thought it odd to have zero views after 24 hours. I tried searching and nothing. Haven’t had this issue with any other card, what am I missing?

  Small sellers spend hours manually tracking competitors. Hours they don't have. Built CompeteIQ to fix that — an autonomous agent that monitors pricing, stock, and reviews across Amazon, eBay, and Google Shopping 24/7, then delivers pricing moves in real time.

  Ebay - similar issues - screen layout won't fit the browser window and certain buttons won't respond when pressed, pictures not displaying, etc. Hardly a ringing endorsement for your websites is it.

  re-watching what I watched last night... people feeling "robbed" by gamepass... I understand. that you buy a 12 month gamepass window. based on what is in the 12 months, and you're buying it to also play something that comes out during the last 4 months of your subscription.. or worse, you stack years... based on a list of titles that get cancelled or delayed. I understand that. I just consider it like bankruptcy. "there is no money"... "there is no game"... if gamepass is game-rupt. I dunno if you deserve a refund or not. they told you they wanted 30? 80 whatever million... and you thought it was gonna happen and reach sustainability. I'm not licking boots or siding with the company... what do you want from gamepass? (besides your money back)... you want microsoft to kickstarter every game from now on? what is your solution?? and I hear my fave youtubers, alot have said "thats not my problem, where are the games" "you said there would be games, where are the games" and the devs/publishers who bought the dev kits and invested how much more into xbox port/build, are saying, where are our sales!? you're telling xbox, "I give you my money" and complains.. and the publishers are saying "you aren't giving US your money, why should I get you games" so you basically said you aren't gonna pay the publishers, and the publishers can't pay the game devs/studios.... because you gave your money to xbox gamepass and "gamepass will take care of you" and now when it isn't.... you're mad at gamepass? you're mad at the studios/devs for saying,... "the gamers dont wanna buy games, we cant **** them out of $70, so lets **** xbox out of 6 years of salaries" you subbed to gamepass and tried to **** the studios...(I'm using alot of their language, the notion of "getting ******")... so they said okay... who can we ****... lets **** xbox... gamers say **** you devs, devs sayfuck you microsoft... well in this circle, this triangle who is left to get ******.. you the gamer? microsoft says **** you gamers... and you want your money back? for a 6 year used service? for a 6 year old console? that is the other thing.. why does xbox owe you money? why is xbox in charge of the refund? get it back from ebay, gamestop, target... why isn't the retailers the bad guy for selling you the "piece of ****" xbox??? how come people aren't mad at them for carrying garbage? well of course that was 2020 and years of thinking they'll get better right? thats where your money went.. you went down with the xbox ship... no refund. you shoulda got a refund in 2020. sell it used in 2021. etc. and on to playstation and discs... I'm sorry we feel insignificant. that I can't program an off the shelf xbox... that it has to be jail broken, that its a "closed system", versus an apple 2 or commodore 64 or whatever.. (not debating how open or closed those were, just metaphors) we all buy these devices and things we can't do **** with. whether its the electronics, or the metal fab, or making brackets or mounts to put a diff whatever unit in... I'm sorry there is no big aftermarket repurposing to hot rod your xbox... we talking jailbreaking, homebrew? how come nobody is saying "don't sell the xbox/ps5/sw2, just jailbreak it, and use it how you want" I'm just saying...oh cause homebrew "sucks"... we trust sony/xbox/nintendo more than the scene, and tools and lack of support... etc. right? I dont wanna navigate forums and some process to jailbreak a ps5. I just wanna pay my $70 and put the disc in. (put the disc in sony!) is this just buyers remorse... I dunno why it bugs me to hear this guy want a refund or claim microsoft stole gamers money...

  There are people who take advantage of eBay’s 14 day return policy when it comes to #TCG /sports cards stuff. It’s profitable to just buy raw cards, digitally grade them, and return the cards that don’t grade well, and send in the best ones for grading. But it’s ****** up, as requires the seller to have to go to the post office the first time AND they have to pay the return shipping. eBay doesn’t give sellers the option of returns. It is the same issue I had when selling crypto mining rigs, even with $50k of sales, eBay always sided with the buyers(Bitcoin mining rigs are expensive right? Not when you just buy a $2.5k rig then return it after 14 days of overclocking it with third party firmware that overheats it till the heat syncs just fall of the hashboards. Though more unscrupulous scammers would litterally just rip out our working like new hashboards and replace them with broken spare parts before returning them. One person even listed our hash boards he ripped out of his unit before the refund request was granted. eBay granted them the refund and let them keep the stolen hashboards listed. At what point does eBay become legally liable for knowingly facilitating the sales of stolen goods? The answer to that is never, as we used macro photos, videos of packing, and stickers to show tampering and marked the hashboards with sharpie and photographed that to prove it was stolen, eBay knew the buyer stole our hashboards and let them sell them and let them get their refund and made us pay the return shipping- and sure enough, it came back with all broken hashboards, and eBay did not care). I’ve been researching the TCG space, as it fascinates me as a store of value. Satoshi is a Japanese name, and TCG (TCG = trading card games, specifically pokemon) was huge in Japan prior to US. Before Bitcoin, high value TCG cards could be used as a storage and transfer of money. Can stack of Pokemon cards worth $100k in a backpack and walk through security at an airport, but for some reason it’s problem if you bring $100k cash. Just saying, while I’m still all in crypto, I kinda appreciate TCG cards as being even more anonymous store of value than bitcoin. Pokemon has a longer track record of value growth than bitcoin, as it existed well before bitcoin. So while a smaller total market cap (billions not trillions), it’s sorta become a safer long term investment than most, as many products especially sealed products and first gen cards have outpaced both gold and the stock market overall. The Pokemon crowd thinks it’s a bubble, because they want to believe it is because they just like collecting cards and want to be able to afford the ones they want, but they sound exactly like people in 2015-2017 calling bitcoin a bubble. Imo take just one billionaire or 9 fig investor to double the market cap by buying up the floor(including the lower grade vintage ones and the less rare vintage ones, pop control isn’t the way to go to grow a market, buying up the floor is. Was only 10 million of the Pokemon English first edition cards printed, while today there’s 2 billion cards printed per year. There’s 21 million bitcoins. If the Pokemon crowd knew what was good for them, they’d start making that comparison to Bitcoin and argue that all first edition cards should have a floor of at least $1k(which is way way more realistic than the $100 XRP people. If every first edition card printed(even the ones torn and stuff) surpassed $100 each, it’d add less than $10b to the market cap. Seeing how collective crypto market caps added $10b of value many times in just an hour, it’s not even unrealistic.). Though the Pokemon crowd doesn’t promote it that way(they should, would be easy af for all them with a binder of mid condition first gen cards to get rich lol, they’re allergic to money though unfortunately). Anyways got off topic from the eBay issue. eBay really needs to fix that, they should make a device for sellers to scan cards and just stop allowing returns

  @jffxns On the other hand, I've had a few people buy batteries from me on there and say they didn't work when I cycle test each one at full power before mailing out. eBay still forces me to give a refund, wasting my time and money so they can test their broken equipment.

  CHINESE DEV BOUGHT A 64-CORE EPYC SERVER FOR $600 ON EBAY AND MADE $340K LAST YEAR WHILE HIS EX-COFOUNDERS BURNED SERIES A ON ANTHROPIC BILLS Bare EPYC board on a workbench. CAUTION sticker still over the CPU socket. Yellow braided cables everywhere. $2,200 build. $130 power. $3,550 per client. Pause at 0:06 — the CAUTION sticker on a 2023 hyperscaler CPU now earning thousands monthly. Most devs spawn another $8/hr GPU pod on Modal every morning. He bought a returned server for $600 and never paid rent again. The moat isn't Nvidia. The moat is willingness to search "used EPYC" on eBay. Full setup in the video.

  Here is what my mini AI PC will look like: > ASUS ProArt RTX 4060 Ti 16GB (Already have) > Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2×16GB) > Ryzen 5 5500 > MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi > Corsair RM1000x > Lian Li A3-mATX > Already have a spare Samsung M2 drive Total spent ~£470 Why this poor setup? > Budget AI local inference 24/7 build I already have 4060 16gb. Other parts are used sourced from eBay apart from combo as a new mobo, cpu, cooling, and the case. This 4060 is power efficient and quiet for what it can do. Gemma 4 A4B fully loaded to GPU. Also, current local AI development seems in favour of fairly capable models fitting this card. Off loading to DDR4 is also an option although not great from what I understand - Let's see! Why am I doing this non-sense? - Well, I believe in privacy like local to go. I can always spin up API for cheap when needed as well. I already searched for options to invest to Mac silicon and although I found pretty neat deal for M1 machine it would still ended up with slow speed regardless the model space available. And, it still wouldn't be under £500, more-less double! Wish me luck! Follow for development of this project :)

  A 31 year old in Spokane runs one used graphics card that erased a $459 a month AI bill and now pays him $340 a month to sit there. It is a single RTX 3090. He bought it on eBay for $687. 24GB of memory. Five years old. The exact card gamers stopped wanting and AI people quietly started hunting. It runs Qwen 3.6 27B locally. The open model with the benchmarks that beat Claude on vision. No subscription. No cloud. Nothing leaves the room. pause at 0:06. The dial on the case holds for a second. GPU 37 degrees. Load 2 percent. That 2 percent is not idle. That is the card answering a stranger's prompt in another state, on a rental platform, while he watches a movie. Here is the math. $687 in. $8 a month out in power. The card paid for itself before the second power bill landed. Then it flipped. The same silicon that killed his $459 stack now rents itself out for around $340 a month, net. His girlfriend asked why the power bill barely moved after he built a server. He told her it draws less than the space heater. Anthropic has a data center, a rate limit, and an invoice that reads $200. He has one used card, an $8 power bill, and a model that scores higher on vision. Same answer. He just stopped renting it.

  Have never had an issue with @ebay auth until now. They are saying my 58 Mantle had water damage and a major crease which is more like a wrinkle and it was listed in the description. Really feel as if they are way off course on this. The buyer is definitely going to use this as a way to back out of the deal. Any tips? @CardPurchaser

  @Hobby_News_Plus @eBay I haven’t bad any holds since really I first started an account like 10 years ago. That’s odd. I’m having no issues on my end. Is the 25k from a single sale? Maybe it’s something in their system to auto hold a massive sale in case of discrepancy

  When @MikeJY1984 acknowledges a problem in the @veefriends world people tend to listen. I’m glad he’s talking about this and not afraid to speak up and break the “sacred veil of positivity” that prevents certain fanatics from ever expressing obvious constructive criticism about the brand. VF breaks are a form of gambling. Last year the Chrome breaks were better weighted in favor of the buyer. This year the sellers are slaughtering the buyers with these 200 character breaks that statistically can’t consistently deliver enough hits to make it anywhere near comparable to the win rates from last year. Everyone is responsible for staying informed and being safe. But it helps to have more kind hearted people warning newcomers to this VeeFriends community that among all the fun and Love there are these not so clear financial pitfall that can destroy people who are too excited with not enough knowledge of the odds and too little caution in general. I’m never going to tear down the company that houses my own bags. That’s not what this is. We don’t express this feedback to be negative Nancies. We talk about it because it’s the right thing to do. Constructive feedback helps everyone in the long term, the brand included. A lot of you shrugged me saying how much better of an idea it is to buy your cards on eBay where they are going for cheaper for the hit you want than you’re paying for the entire break spot with a chance of nothing. I think Mike is a bit more well liked and well respected in this community than I am. Now that he’s echoing what I have BEEN saying, can we start to talk about how it’s a real issue? And start advising each other of best practices?
