  @SwedishGamester @MuseumCommodore I bought most non working off ebay, fixed them but couldn't bear to sell them "oh that one is a rare board revision, can't sell that one. No, that one has a ceramic VIC-II". Mild OCD is a terrible affliction...

  Another problem I was having that that I bought cheap ebay headers for this car and, we'll, they didn't fit well. Specifically, they hit the steering shaft in two places. This is, unfortunately, exceedingly common and why the ebay brand headers are so cheap.

  @asalovey96 Totally - I’d trust him over max for sure. He clearly knows ball and looked up the comps lol ebay needs to fix that - if you have a decline on messages about lower prices you should be terminated from the platform when you’re at 10% of asking lol

  @Nortier Psa also controls the hobby market I find it very weird that as soon as they shut down all these service levels all of sudden every seller on eBay is selling every Psa card for 2x times or 3x times of comp prices I even saw some sellers have their slabs at 4x times of comps

  @Knuggertz @ryancohen I’ll bite: - Accretive dilution and the reason Ebay could be acquired - 5% of cash was deployed. In the event the merger goes through or net income rises and BTC price goes lower, he can average down - Furlong did this - There’s no need to, the results spoke for themselves.

  Buying and selling is still broken. Listings are ugly, pricing is guesswork, verification is nonexistent. PurchasePal fixes that. Upload a photo—sell across eBay, Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace and more with trust-inducing listings and smart pricing. Want to buy?

  @zynprops The seller responded to me and would have worked with me. I apologized and got the card as it still wasn't going to break the bank. (See my quote tweet). But, again. I learned a valuable lesson to slow down. I've been on eBay since 2001 & never made this mistake.

  @aleczanderjk @CardPurchaser If they sent you back a different card than the one listed, on the return you can select that there is a issue with the return. Also file a report on the buyer. Once you are done with all that contact ebay customer support, request a phone call, let them know the issue.

  Howaboua (@Howaboua) reported 36 minutes ago

  So I made some questionable purchases. Don't sleep on ex-biz refurbs/2nd hands. Worth reading if you think PC hardware is expensive. Mini pc server going from Intel 6th gen 4c4t 12gb ddr4, 256gb to a 6p8e cpu, 16gb ddr5, 512gb from Q1 2025 for £390 (sic!). Imma trade in the stick and max it out to 64gb ram, 2nd hand oem sodimm. I plan on running 3ish Claw-likes on it, a windows VM, a local ERP system and databases (I sorta started working for my mate's software company - I'll tailscale it out to him so we can run coding agents and ****, have the Claws run the company admin, another Claw for my freelancing and another one for PA purposes) I also got tired of my old but trusty Thinkpad x13 8gb ram (soldered) 6c12t 256gb (it's trying, bless it, but it overheats and the hoops I need to go through for Chromium to behave. side note, also post-biz 2nd hand I got for like £220) to a... T14gen1 4c8t, 48gb ram (WTF), 1tb ssd (WTF) for £570 (WTAF). Yeah it's old. But it comes from an ebay seller that sells loads of thinkpad components. They probably know what they're doing. This one is a crossgrade, as the CPU is worse, but it's my BS machine for youtube/browser/ssh - I know what I need from it. Obvs, 1tb is gonna land in the server. Again, there are millions of unwanted post-deprecation PCs that all have very random decent specs. What they do not do is run any GPU workloads (AI or gaming) so nobody wants them. I swore to myself my current big desktop is gonna be my last one (5800x3d, 32gb ddr4 3600 ram, 1tb ssd, rtx5070, great mobo, fancy PSU, noctua fans, the full shebang). It just makes no sense. Just get a somewhat decent 2nd hand office PC, upgrade the ram, get an oculink card or smthg, and trade it in for a newer model every year or two. It will cost you, as you see, £390ish, they will buy it back for probably £200+, unless prices spike up even more, and you never really risk it breaking down (5 year warranty and these PCs have been used on office tasks, 40 hrs a week, which is probably less than us nerds run ours, same goes for the laptop, it was probably used very casually). You absolutely do not need the top of the line hardware, a mac mini or any other crap that people are telling you to buy. Obvs there are use cases when this isn't going to work - local AI, compiling heavy stuff (unless you wanna wait), gaming... And I understand for some this is still a lot of money. But compare it to the "I need an Apple computer" mentality and suddenly it's fish & chips money. And yes, you bet I will be trading in my current gear to fund the max-out-RAM upgrades, it will just about cover getting 64gb ddr5 sodimms. Anyway, just yapping. Hope this helps someone. You can absolutely get the job done on the budget, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

  @Deputy734022773 @ChaiDeluxe @jugg_pochettino I definitely agree with that. Classic mode on BO7 made me buy the game physically for $25 on ebay last month. This further incentivizes Sony and Microsoft to market their games like Nintendo. They’ll never go down in price other than the occasional 5% off. These people are evil.

  Jamshed V Rajan (@ouchmytoe) reported 45 minutes ago

  Much before folks in the Internet space discussed ‘shared economy’ over drinks, and much before it was cool to use products such as Airbnb, Uber, Couchsurfing, eBay, etc.) there were ‘hand-me-downs’. This is the story of how the first version of the ‘shared economy’ played out in my life. I think it all started when I was growing up too fast for the comfort of my parents. Before I tell you how my growing up troubled my parents, let me tell you how I interpreted my growth. For a long time, I didn’t realise that I was growing up. I thought my clothes were getting smaller. That’s why I kept my red and white shirt (one that I proudly wore when I was four years old) for two years, thinking someday it would shrink enough to fit my small brown teddy bear (yet another hand-me-down). Alas, it never did. Since I was growing up fast, my parents bought clothes for me only on Diwali and on my birthday, on April 26. They ensured at least one well-fitting pair every six months. Due to this strategy, any given day, I owned two sets of clothes – one that was a perfect fit and another that I couldn’t go out in. ---The hand-me-downs begin--- When I was five years old, I came to know that I had older cousins staying in different parts of Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Eventually, we started meeting during summer vacations. And I started getting the hand-me-downs. My cousins would pack their old clothes and toys in an airbag (that’s what our parents called their travel bags) and pass them on to me. My parents wouldn’t let me open the bag in front of my cousins, fearing I would immediately get into a war dance and embarrass them. Needless to say, that night I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I would stay awake wondering what kind of clothes were inside the bag, what toys were waiting to be picked up, what coloured shoes were available to be worn. Thanks to my cousins, I used to have a choice while going outside or staying at home and playing with my toys. With time, I also started sharing my clothes and toys with younger cousins. Sharing felt good because I knew exactly how I had felt when I used to get the treasure trove. ---Uncles start chipping in--- When I grew up and became a teenager, I started getting hand-me-downs from my uncles. Now, my uncles would share their shirts and trousers with me. Sometimes, it would be part of the yearly ritual, and on other occasions, it would be a specific request. Like the instance when I had to participate in a debating contest at the LOSA competition (conducted by Lakshmi Old School Association every year) at Madurai, and needed a good pair of trousers to go with my black shirt. “Saravana mama, I need help.” I approached my uncle. I had been eyeing his stonewash jeans for some time now. He had recently finished his BSc Forestry from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, and was looking for a job. “Tell me, Rajan,” he came close. “Will you be wearing your stonewash jeans tomorrow?” I asked. “Which one are you talking about? And why?” “The white stonewash with black dots? The one that has ‘Love is sweet poison’ written on both sides of the trousers?” Mind you, it was 1991, and we were talking about a stonewash of a college grad, so ‘Love is sweet poison’ can be excused. “But why do you need it? I wore it yesterday, and it is *****.” “I am participating in a debating contest tomorrow and will be on stage. I need a good pair of trousers to go with my black shirt.” That’s all my uncle needed to hear. He asked me to come by in the evening and pick it up. When I went to his house at 7 pm, he was ironing it for me. I didn’t win the debating contest, but the pride with which I stood on the stage that day was enough - I had already won. I never returned the stonewash, and he didn’t ask for it either. ---I get a hand-me-down moped--- When I joined college, I asked my father for a TVS Champ. Back in the mid-90s, if you were a cool dude in a Tamil Nadu college, you rode a TVS Champ. If you were filthy rich, you had a Hero Honda Splendor…but lets not jump ahead of us. Since my parents couldn’t afford a TVS Champ, they resorted to their tried and tested trick. “Why don’t you try the public bus for the first year, and if you score well, you get a TVS Champ?” Since I didn’t have an option, I agreed. Next year, when my parents still couldn’t afford a TVS Champ for me, I was disappointed. One of my uncles stepped in. “I heard you are pretty upset with your parents over a TVS Champ?” He asked. “Yes, uncle. They promised to get it for me this year. I know that it costs a bit, but they shouldn’t have given me the hope. Right?” It was my teenage angst. “I am planning to buy a Hero Honda Splendour. Why don’t you use my TVS 50? It may not be what you want, but it still is something,” he said. “Sure, uncle. So how much do my parents have to pay?” “Let us just agree that you will not ask your parents for petrol money.” He had the patronizing look in his eyes, which I loved. Don’t we all want Godfathers to spring out and help when we need them? TVS Motors had launched India’s first two–seater 50cc moped called TVS 50 in 1980. TVS 50 wasn’t as classy as TVS Champ, but as my uncle said, it was something - it felt as if I had arrived. I rode the 15-year-old moped to college often. Due to a lack of petrol money, the TVS 50 would be parked most of the time, but it felt awesome to have a moped of my own. ---When I almost breached the hand-me-down code--- With time, I finished college and started working. Now, I was earning and still using the same TVS 50. It is surprising how your wants come down when you have to figure them out yourself. I had been working only six months when I got a call at my office landline from a cousin of mine who was still in college. He was point-blank: “I have sports day at college tomorrow, and my sneakers have given up. Can I borrow yours?” In a momentary lapse of judgment, I told him, “How about buying new ones. I only have one.” My cousin didn’t say anything. The phone went dead. It didn’t take me long to figure out that I had made a mistake. I had broken the code of hand-me-downs. If you have joined this club once, you can never refuse. I knew he wouldn’t be rushing to the showroom to buy new sneakers anytime soon. The next day at 7.30 am, I was at his home. He was getting ready for college, and he was holding an Action shoe that had run its course. In my hands, I had the relatively new Lotto sneakers my father had helped me buy from the CSD canteen. As I gave him the sneakers, I said, “Here, take them.” I didn’t display any emotion. I couldn’t afford to display the ‘big brother’ emotion. It was part of the hand-me-down code. At that moment, getting the Lotto sneaker meant the whole world to my cousin. He gave me a big hug, and at that moment, I knew that I had bought his soul with this small gesture. After the event, he called to ask when he could visit to give the shoes back. I knew he needed it more than me, so I told him I was traveling and would collect it later. This give and take went on for some time. Thanks to the growing economy and excellent job opportunities in different cities, the big, almost joint family drifted apart. Or is it that only I drifted apart, and all others are still in touch? Perhaps, I would never know. Unfortunately, today, hand-me-downs are looked down upon. They are only supposed to be for those affected by floods or earthquakes - they aren’t supposed to be for cousins, brothers, and sisters. They aren’t supposed to be for friends and neighbors either. Quite a shame, really. That’s a lot of happiness, bottled down. So much treasure, undiscovered.

  Every minute your prices are stale, a competitor takes the sale. Built CompeteIQ to fix that — it watches competitors across Amazon, eBay, and Allegro, then reprices your catalog automatically via API. No spreadsheets. No manual updates.

  @PlentyOfPivots @CardPurchaser @grok there is no scenario in which you should ever ship overseas yourself through ebay. if you are enrolled in ebay international you ship to them domestically and they do the rest at no charge even Canada. If the buyer isn't eligible for ebat itl their is an issue with their address and you shouldn't do the deal under any circumstances.

  @jeebuscrisis @OlexGameDev I mean, this is like some kind of hypothetical - this notion that technically your digital purchases could in theory be confiscated, when reality is these companies would obviously go out of business if they were doing this at scale. I have never experienced this, however, having not experienced this I also realize the world isn't perfect - who knows what might happen down the line, but in a general sense I'm feeling pretty good about the overall availability of both new AND old games. I played 'Punch Out' for the first time a couple years ago, thanks to Nintendo Online. I would have never had the opportunity to have this experience without buying a used retro NES, and finding a copy on Ebay (which probably costs a lot of money)..

  Following up with some honest feedback about @trylastpack as I deposited some money and spent some time playing myself: Overall, pleasant experience, UI/UX is great on mobile + fast. I have not tried laptop/PC. PACK RIPPING EXPERIENCE Enjoyed the gamified experience, and the casino-like slot machine mechanic where cards roll onto various coloured cards before reveal. Each colour represents a different type of rarity. As for pull rates, I did ok - hit some nice cards; nothing amazing but some that will look nice in the binder. Sold back the + EV cards for more spins. Took me 78 packs to rinse $150, and I used the 1/5/10/25 dollar packs. Free packs for every 10 spins, instantly rewarded to your profile. Nice feature. DEPOSITS Easy to deposit money either fiat or crypto. There’s a wide range of crypto options available, one or the highest I have seen. Deposit was instant, I tried both SOL USDC & ETH USDC ON CHAIN VERIFICATION you can review your pulls, verify randomness etc. I took a look at this, and it’s probably the post transparent I’ve seen and true on chain. I have also seen this level of transparency on Your Grails, not sure about others. SHIP OR AUTO BUY BACK AFTER 5 DAYS Interesting (and smart) shipping mechanic to keep the flywheel going + mitigate stock issues. Encourages people to sell back, or ship within 5 days. This prevents stock and sourcing issues and items being held in wallets and not doing anything. (Screen shot on this post) SHIPPING “5 DAYS GLOBALLY” I don’t believe this is possible, as someone that spent 8 years in the transport & logistics industry. Happy to be proven wrong. Would recommend re wording. I personally am in regional Australia at the southernmost tip in mainland. Gonna claim and test it out. This is not a deal breaker SHIPPING COSTS Seem reasonable for now, for me to ship a couple of raw cards it’s $8 USD which is cheaper than doing the same from eBay. SUMMARY Overall whilst I did partner with them for a post, I wanted to share candid feedback as a user. I have done and will continue to do with multiple platforms (give feedback, support good teams, etc). There’s room in the space for everyone providing all is above board and I’m a huge fan of collaboration > competition. I definitely liked the experience, I’d like to see pull rates a bit more and more variety of cute cards in the pool (I’m an avid collector of cute raw. There’s some noise around the risks of “raw” cards and them not having stock on hand and also using stock images rather than the real thing so we know what we are getting. The site explains all are in the warehouse, so I am going to trust this, but would love some transparency surrounding quality of raw. I’ve not had experience in withdrawing or contacting the support yet, so cannot comment just yet. Will I use it again? Absolutely.

  Feldspar (@greenjeopardy) reported 53 minutes ago

  Agree. I’ve had issues with the eBay guaranteed shipping as well, turns out that the correct process is to refund immediately after the buyer says they didn’t get it and file a claim with a separate insurance company. If you don’t do eBay shipping labels you are out of luck even more. For me the authentication process for higher end cards and orderly process are worth the fees and frustration. Maybe I can find better luck on X but I’ve had a lot of bad/shady experiences off eBay. Unfortunately eBay has little incentive to help sellers either . Overall agree eBay should have better systems in place for these types of things. Feedback as well. Currently dealing with a negative feedback claiming failure to disclose holo scratches-listing has 14 close ups lol. I think it’s choose your pain unfortunately and I don’t see eBay doing anything more for sellers any time soon.

  AJ (@CardGameNomad) reported 56 minutes ago

  I'm a day late to this drama, but I've been a collector and a vendor. So, I'll offer my insight here. 1. Mikey 100% should have emailed before canceling 1 card, especially the most expensive card in the order. Or canceled the entire order. The email should have asked the buyer if they wanted the rest of the order or to cancel the entire order. My personal experience, if you don't have time to message, just cancel the entire order to avoid drama like this. But based on everything I seen, I feel like this drama would have still happened if Mikey had canceled the entire order anyways. 2. I have had synchronization issues as well. It's really hard to deactivate your entire inventory when this happens. This is just part of running a website and it will occasionally lead to issues like this. Especially if you cross-post to eBay like I did. Stuff would sell on eBay and 5 minutes later, sell on the site because the sale wouldn't synchronize. 3. Turning to the Twitter mob to anger people by accusing them of being "nefarious" is also despicable. Even after Mikey explained what happened, the buyer is still being aggressive. Even after Mikey refunded the whole order and still sent the cards, the buyer is still claiming nefarious behavior on Mikey. I've dealt with this type of buyer, entitled and will try to use social media anger to get their way. This is not good behavior either, especially when the buyer knows the anti-LCS/anti-vendor sentiment on this app. They knew exactly what they were doing, and their continued behavior towards the situation shows that. They literally called everyone who supported Mikey "gooner incels" when he attempted to offer an explanation. Both sides were wrong, but I see only one side trying to find a mutual understanding to fix the issue while the other continues to push a narrative. They also said they had no intention to name drop, yet they gave every hint that I could tell it was Mikey before he even responded, which came off as engagement farming. I truly would hate to be a vendor in this current market.

  SlabSquatch Sports Cards (@WaxMetrix) reported 58 minutes ago

  Fun little update for anyone who saw any part of my Ebay authentication shipping saga. Quick recap: I received a 2025 Topps Chrome Platinum Jose Ramirez Red Prism that got dinged after partially sliding out of the semi-rigid inside the fancy little eBay authentication box. @eBay bot jumped into my post and told me to contact them, so I did. Started in chat. Got bumped to a supervisor pretty quickly. She asked if she could call instead of chat, so we did. The fact they quickly shuffled me to a non-outsourced individual is an indicator that they might actually be taking this seriously. Honestly? It was a really good conversation. I stressed how severe this issue is, how common it seems to be, and how wild it is that eBay/PSA hasn’t addressed it yet when the fix seems incredibly simple. Just secure the opening of the semi-rigid with a sticker. That’s it. Desiree was extremely helpful. She said she’s familiar with the problem, understands why it’s frustrating- for us as well as her team, and promised to get it in front of the right people. She even notated my account info and said she’d like to call or message me if/when she gets confirmation that the process has been fixed. She also credited my account roughly half of what I paid, which was honestly more than I expected considering there’s technically only a 3-day claim window and the card arrived June 30 while I was out of town. So, for my specific situation, I think they handled it fairly. Big picture, I sincerely hope this turns into an actual process change. Add a sticker. Add tape. Add literally anything that keeps the card from sliding out of the holder during shipping. It just seems so simple. If this happens to you, I encourage you contact them within 3 days of receiving the card. And have photos ready. The more people they have to refund for this, the better chance we have of an actual remedy. If Desiree follows through and I get confirmation that they fixed the process, I’ll be genuinely happy to post that update. Come on, Desiree. You got this!

  @brandon1luv @SnapBlastPLAY @Fraser789 I know Sony made prices different per country, but I looked at those games on the US playstation store and I was able to find an equal or cheaper deal on Amazon or Ebay for almost all of those games that were already marked down, w/ a few exceptions.
