Marcus O'Reillius (@euthunoF4E) reported@GatehouseTwenty @ZakariaMDv3 It's a castor oil pack. Take a cloth saturated with castor oil, make a pack (I bought one on eBay or something) and wrap it over your stomach and go to sleep. It breaks down the biofilm protecting parasites and I did get some results out the drain pipe so to speak.

Unplugged Game Boy (@UnpluggedRetro) reported@BeastGamerKuma I go to a lot of gaming cons. And when everyone is selling the same game at $120 I doubt anyone will buy it but if one of them drop down in price they’ll actually make a sale. They have to stop goin by eBay prices. Psone and SNES games should not be this expensive.

Rob Leathern (@robleathern) reported@growing_daniel @rei_iku_ In the cases of Honey and Capital One, users voluntarily downloaded the browser extensions and accepted terms of service that allowed the extensions to look for coupons and interact with checkout pages. The core legal fight is simply over "last-click attribution" rules—meaning it's a civil argument about who gets paid the commission under industry standards, not a criminal scam. That's different from cases like various eBay affiliate/cookie stuffing issues = wire fraud.

🇦🇺😾💿 Sam Warren 🇺🇦🇵🇸 (@SeedyFella) reportedIt appears that someone stole a parcel that was stupidly left on the front porch by the delivery man on the 2nd of July. All they got for their trouble was 3 packs of Dymo tape. But it was $55 worth. Now attempting for a 2nd time to get a refund from eBay! 😡

Shannon Jean (@ShannonJean) reportedI have sold over $12 million worth of high-end watches. Here’s the thing: I’m not in the watch business; I know nothing about watches. Hell, I don’t even wear a watch. This is a story of opportunity. Read along, and I can show you how I did it and how you can, too. I was buying consumer electronics returns from a company with which I had built up a ton of credibility over the years. I always bought everything they had. I always paid on time. I never complained about small problems. I knew the opportunity with them was good, and I didn’t want to screw it up. Opportunities handled well lead to more opportunities. After a few years of buying, I got a call from a guy in another division of this business. Let’s call him Bob. Bob: “Hey, John says you are reliable. We have a problem in another division, and I wonder if you would be interested in a different product line?” Me, as I utter the four most powerful words in my vocabulary: “How can I help?” It seems that Bob had lost a buyer of a unique product line: high-end watches. The company was worried about selling its customer returns to a new buyer. I wasn’t new. and I possessed a unique attribute: Trust I had put in the time, energy, and money to build a relationship with their consumer electronics division. Did I mention I know nothing about watches? I still don’t. But I figured I could learn. Step 1: Get the deal. The deals are the hardest thing to find. Money to buy and customers to sell to – easy. Well, easier. The challenge with this product line that I knew nothing about was that it was a firehose. An instant multi-million-dollar business that I had to open wide and take on with little knowledge. So what did I do? I went on eBay, naturally. I found every watch seller I could find and started reaching out to them. I spoke to 87 people before I got to one guy who didn’t think I was nuts. Dimitri had his partner fly out to my office the next day. I showed him some samples, and we agreed on a markup for my services. We shook hands on the deal. Dimitri sent a wire transfer, and I shipped him the product. We’ve done over $12M worth of business on that handshake. About that markup. Here’s another secret to success: let other people make money off you. Since I knew there was little risk, it was pretty passive, and the volume would be high, I didn’t need to make much on each item. I kept my take very small so Dimitri could put the time and effort into building a sustainable business. This allowed me to focus on my other businesses while this “side hustle” paid for my kid's private school, bought my cars, and more. The key takeaways here: Opportunities handled well lead to more opportunities. Finding the deal is the most important thing. The most powerful phrase in the world: How can I help? Give me a follow @ShannonJean if this post resonates with you.

Bill Cebula (@BillCebula) reportedHey @eBay , can you fix your website? There are reports of it being inaccessible from multiple websites, and I cannot personally access it either. I can't sell anything if people can't get to it. Will be requesting a subscription refund through support if the problem persists

Jean Paul Lavigne (@JPL0575) reported@jb8cards eBay needs to ban these morons. There are no errors, it’s just bad production since they mass produced cards starting in 1986.

taco121241 (@taco121241) reported@ChoochSkookum When I got my first nice chainsaw, I got an electric sharpener and a half-dozen "rental" chains from ebay that had been used once (and abused!). I repaired them and now I always have sharp chains available and I only have to sit down and sharpen chains every now and then.

Teddy.com (@teddy__com) reported@PhantomBlack699 This is genuinely terrible. Sick of these biographies, sick of nothing burgers, wtf is he doing? We get it. You want to buy @eBay. How about returning value to your shareholders now? You sit on 10x bags. Almost every single shareholder is under water. It’s time to stfu and return value to the shareholders.

Algofinix Inc (@algofinixai) reported🚨 EBay appears to be experiencing technical issues, with users reporting problems on Downdetector Pressure: $EBAY | Strong (3/10) Why it matters: EBay's reported technical outage risks immediate transaction losses and user attrition to competitors like Amazon or Etsy at a time when the company is trying to stabilize its marketplace model post-pandemic. Any sustained disruption could weigh on near-term revenue and reinforce investor skepticism around operational execution, exerting short-term downward pressure on the stock. Shareholders and active marketplace participants are most directly exposed while broader e-commerce sentiment may also soften Follow @algofinixai for real-time sentiment · #algofinixai

WM (@ArchitectLoop) reported@asynchronous_x @radmadvlad I source most, if not all, online. eBay has datacenter pulls that get you most the way. My biggest issue is usually having to drive 2 hours into DC to get it.

🇺🇸 Shall Not Be Infringed 🇺🇸 (@keeperOfRad) reported@norzemen @KimKatieUSA He did more than lie. I will take any law enforcement we can get these days. Im right there with ya man. Shits getting old when blatant laws being broke and we see zero mug shots. Absolutely pisses me off. I get in trouble if I dont pay taxes on my $601 eBay sales. I wish I knew whats going on but I have my suspicions. I think its all blackmail in the end. Maybe threats to family. Bribes.. all of the above. So like I mentioned,I will take what I can get. 🤙

Pierce Cards (@PierceCards) reported@SwamileeSports @CardPurchaser @eBay Instead of playing victim take 100% accountability. If you think eBay is suppressing your sales, take your best card and list it at 25% of comps. I bet it sells. This is an inventory and/or pricing problem.

Phil | Rentier Digital Automation (@rentierdigital) reportedwhen a $43M app's five-star rating hides affiliate link injection, you're not looking at a bug. you're looking at a feature flag. Phia raised $43.5M on Phoebe Gates' name and a cap table that reads like a red carpet. Bloomberg and Ben Edelman ran tests on 50+ sites. same result every time: at checkout, the extension opens a hidden tab, drops its own affiliate code in, and takes the commission whether it earned it or not. the code tells the story the company won't. the behavior was live on iOS, switched off on Chrome desktop, bc on desktop a tab opening is something you'd actually see. that's not a coincidence you patch in 24 hours. that's a design choice. last-click attribution runs a $13B market. whoever clicks last before payment gets paid, full stop. it doesn't matter if you actually helped. a browser extension sits in the exact spot that matters most in that entire chain. it can insert itself as the last click on nearly every purchase you make, and the rule has no built-in way to tell the difference. cookie stuffing for this exact scheme sent Shawn Hogan to prison for 5 months. Brian Dunning got 15 months. eBay jailed a man for running this at smaller scale. now it funds it. i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

Bankr (@bankrbot) reported@Rayblancoeth here's what i'm seeing across venues for $GME right now: price snapshot - robinhood chain tokenized GME: $20.91 - hyperliquid perp (xyz:GME): $21.92 (+0.27% 24h) - coingecko xStock (GMEX): $21.45 (-0.98% 24h, -4.81% 7d, +2.40% 30d) key levels - ATH: $175.86 (down 87.7% from peak — this is the tokenized version, not the NYSE stock, but tracks closely) - ATL: $19.59 — we're sitting just ~$2 above the all-time low - stock is essentially range-bound in the low $20s, grinding sideways with a slight downward drift over the past week hyperliquid perp signals - OI: $117K — very thin open interest, meaning low conviction from leveraged traders - funding: -0.20% annualized — slightly negative, shorts paying longs, but barely. neutral-bearish lean - volume: $144K 24h — illiquid perp market, so perp price isn't the best oracle - max leverage 10x, spread ~23 bps polymarket angle - there's an active market: "Will GameStop acquire eBay?" — Yes at 12.5%, No at 87.5%, with $2M+ volume - this is the only GME-related prediction market with real liquidity right now. the 12.5% yes implies the market sees a small but non-trivial chance of an M&A catalyst this year. any news on this front would be a major volatility trigger my read - GME is in a low-volatility compression zone near its floor. the -4.8% weekly with thin perp OI suggests no squeeze setup is brewing right now — the apes aren't piling in - negative funding on the perp = slight short dominance but nothing aggressive - the eBay acquisition rumor is the only visible catalyst. if that heats up, GME could rip fast given the float dynamics and meme history. if it fades, the stock likely stays range-bound $19–$23 - for this week's options: without pulling the actual chain i can't give you strike-specific Greeks, but given the low realized vol and tight range, short-dated options are likely cheap. that means: - if you're bullish on a catalyst: long calls or call spreads are relatively low-cost - if you think it stays dead: selling premium (covered calls or cash-secured puts near $20) could work given the vol crush - the risk is a sudden meme reignition — GME has a history of violent moves on no news want me to pull the actual options chain via your robinhood skill? i'll need to get that working — last attempt errored out. say the word and i'll dig in.

MedicineMan (@DSeebeck) reportedJapanese Kraftwerk? Yes! Rolling down the Autobahn (Buffalo Daughter) with Musique Non-Stop. All whilst I remount the 331G 30cm drivers. The brass bolts are superior to the original wood screws. I thought the big driver had blown last night. It started scratching like the spider had come unglued. Ouch! This morning I got out my spare. Fortunately, it was merely those very same wood screws loosened and making noise. I had stopped the work on these last year; at least until I had became more adept at refurb. The mounted pair of 331G’s I sourced from a private dealer in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and the single was from Ukraine Ebay. This fun CD is from Discogs. Switch is about 3:25. The capacitors are still new in them. Still breaking in.

Common Amalek W/s (🇵🇸🇰🇵) (@Yhwachwasright) reported@Combat_Casuals Four, I do not think you are getting this through your head that I said a trusted eBay seller. Five the majority of this tweet was issue with the fact you have an affiliate link yet present yourself as a neutral collector. If you do not see a problem...

Geo Gaming (@_Geotherma) reportedI got a few of the Chinese #PokemonTCG products recently, they have such cool stuff. My only issue is every plastic/acrylic clear thing seems to have major scratches on it. I tried on ebay from what seemed like a good seller and @Pokene_Pokemon but every product, giant scratches.

Backfermore (@backfermore) reported@0x_Mattt I searched eBay to buy something and it kept showing me items in the UK. Couldn’t get it to show USA listings. Never had that issue before now.

Devils Advocate (@M3ta_Save) reported2. Also won't this cause a whole heap of problems for places like games stop or selling on Ebay ect. You turn your physical disc into a digital copy then go trade in the disc the give you store credit for a disc that won't work or you sell the disc on ebay and it won't work unless you uninstall or whatever you have to do so the disk then works again.

rvsh (@rvsh53867562) reportedI watched the interview 2 times. First I thought that if ebay is taking notes on these Interview, they might fix it themselves without us. Then i reminded myself they’d have to fire themselves. $GME 🎯 $EBAY @amitisinvesting @ryancohen

Kevin (@ShadowofGodjira) reported@TDemonicSS I just did a quick search on ebay... the prices have came down a bit... but fill of listing that are wrong. Really have to do your research and know what to look for so you dont get scammed. now if you wanted to hack a ps3 and had a means to make digital copies of your ps2 gamez

OnlyCharizard (@OnlyCharizard) reported@herschcox @CardPurchaser If you ship through ebay they get notified by email & if they miss that they can see it on their orders page. If you ship outside of ebay & add the tracking number they get the exact same info. You said "USPS side issue" as if it wasnt delivered? In that case they get a refund.

Wayne Lawrence (@WayneDLawrence1) reported@RodneyMarshall1 I've wanted this on DVD for years but, apparently, there are rights issues. You could buy bootleg DVDs from Ebay years ago though. I think they were screen-recorded off a certain satellite TV channel.

AJ (@CardGameNomad) reported@Mel248028 My luck has been terrible with this set (and tbh, it's been rough on the Pokemon side for minute for me lol)..... but I sold one of my TAG 10 Zards and decided to use the funds to buy a box. Bought the two Bright Fantasy boxes from selling some bulk lots on eBay. So, it's a win no matter what I hit for me lol
