  Ochob (@0chob) reported 2 minutes ago

  An 18-year-old is making $15,000/week from a tab open on his laptop. The tab is Google Maps. Pause at 0:17. The screen recording opens on what looks like a homework session. Discord on the second monitor. A half-finished problem set in a tab. A water bottle next to the laptop. Standard freshman setup. The active window is Google Maps. He's panning across a suburb of Cincinnati. Zooming in on a strip mall. Clicking a plumber. Then an HVAC company. Then a roofer. Look at what he opens next. It's not the business website. It's the page source. The HVAC company's site was built in 2011. jQuery 1.4. A copyright footer that still says 2017. The plumber's site loads in 8.4 seconds. The roofer doesn't have a mobile version at all - pinch-zoom on a phone and the navbar disappears entirely. He saves all three to a spreadsheet. Then he opens Claude. Eleven minutes later, the plumber has a new website. Fast. Mobile-first. Lead-capture form wired up. A Lovable deployment link sitting in a draft email. He sends the email cold. Subject line: "Built you a new site —-see if you like it." Body: one line. "If you do, it's $1,800. If not, no hard feelings." The plumber replies in 47 minutes. Says yes. Venmos a deposit that afternoon. By the time the kid finishes his econ reading at 9pm, he's closed three more. He's been doing this since June. The pattern is mechanical. He filters Google Maps for businesses ranked #4 through #15 in their category - not the top three (they have agencies), not below #15 (they don't convert). He cross-references with recent reviews — businesses still actively getting them, meaning the owner is paying attention. Then he checks the page source for the jQuery version. Anything older than 2018 is a lead. Someone in the replies pulled up his Stripe screenshots. June: $4,200. July: $11,800. August: $34,000. September: $58,000. October: he stopped posting numbers because his university financial aid office started asking questions. The websites take him 18 to 24 minutes each. Claude writes the copy. Lovable handles the build. He doesn't touch a code editor. He doesn't pitch on calls. He doesn't have a portfolio site of his own — he says it would slow him down. His conversion rate on cold emails is 11%. Someone tried to replicate the workflow. They built a site for a chiropractor. Sent the email. Got ghosted. Tried again. Got ghosted. Tried a third time. Closed for $1,400. The kid responded in the thread. Said the issue wasn't the site or the email - it was the targeting. The chiropractor's site was already mobile-responsive. He'd skipped the disqualification step. "You're solving a problem they don't have yet." He runs the loop 4 hours a day, 6 days a week, between classes and his 8pm pickup basketball league. His roommate thinks he sells stuff on eBay. Last week he closed 11 sites. Averaged $1,650 each. Cleared $18,150. The week before, $14,400. The week before that, $16,200. He's 18. He's been doing this for 5 months. He's on track to clear $480,000 by his 19th birthday. Somewhere, a 34-year-old web designer with 8 years of Webflow experience is wondering why his agency pipeline is dry this quarter. Why local businesses keep telling him "we already got a new site." He isn't competing with agencies. He isn't competing with freelancers. He's competing with a kid who hasn't declared a major yet.

  @AKHomeproject @saveusculture I think the worst part about the ordeal is that the state that I bought it in was already after a mechanic looked it over, and "fixed it up". So many of the issues I have corrected on my own have been from the rig just being "too old" for most mechanics to deal with.. Missing parts from the carb "rebuild" like springs, checkballs and weights.. Brake shoes installed incorrectly.. The amount of "performance" increase over the state I bought it in by just getting it back to "stock" has been ridiculous to me. eBay NOS, and pulling parts off rigs at scrapyards gets old fast. I shudder to think about how I'd be dealing if I 'needed' this rig, like to put food on my table.

  Hey @natsturner this is starting to be a bigger issue now. I have not been the only one who received an empty box after it went through authentication stage. Took pictures before opening because it was suspicious that the sides had been cut and then re-sealed sloppily. Tracking shows delivered so I doubt @eBay will be of any help. I’m out $325… this will definitely make me stop buying more raw card

  @Bradleyflowers This whole story (EV or ICE) is what will keep me in my pre 2010 vehicles forever if possible. The mirror in my truck was broken in the same way. Expensive little bastard for what it is ($700 new), on account of it being power, power folding, heated and has downlight and turn signal on it. Found a used OEM one on Ebay for $250. Took me abt an hour to swap out, good as new. Tech is awesome until it isn't.

  @DesertHeatCards Jimmy, I was disappointed to learn that this was not some super rare error card. I thought I was retiring early. I put it on eBay for $8 but I might take it down idk

  So if someone suddenly gets interested in the franchise, they don't have to, for example, find a working 3ds that's averaging about $300 on eBay, and then buy a physical version of the game because the 3ds eshop is down (assuming they don't want to hack it their 3ds)

  @PlanetEarth_HD I have the same problem. I’ve resorted to buying my enteric coated full-strength aspirin at extortionate prices from ebay.

  @terrafically It used to be straight forward. I use to be able to find older games around $10-30 in thrifts, eBay and trading sites. Prices on some games are ridiculous. Then there is finding the games in good condition. Then there is disk rot and hardware issues on aging consoles

  GOOD MORNING $GME SQUADDD! The 10Q dropped early morning today and it seems like no substantially new info except: - the $EBAY options are short dated for early Jan 2028 - $GME intends to exercise the options within the next 12 months - 425 showing a 9.35% increased position, just below 10% It seems @ryancohen is now locking in, and fast! eBay AGM in 6 days, they are voting on allowing a 10% holder to call a special meeting and GME is just under that….. Oh and Teddy is still down, and it’s been 9 days! Enjoy your coffee!

  Go on Ebay, buy a blade server cooling fan, they are high performance, small, very high RPM, very high flow rate fans that use a moderate amount of electrical power, to shove huge amounts of air to cool, but a super loud in a very jet turbine like annoying rushing sound

  This is why I shut down 2 eBay stores as a Top rated seller for over a decade. @eBay will literally side with scammers. Feels like the company is ran by literally nobody and a Wild West free for all when theres an issue. eBay should be demolished.

  .@eBay who can I speak to regarding a complaint about terrible customer service rep (named neonshea) and eBay being a fraudulent site in general? I need to know why my lawyer should be reaching out to.

  @HansAmato My gf tried it and had acne breakout. Granted it was a cut rate ebay version that I capsuled up, and we were already tinkering with her HRT dose, tapered it down since. I only had the positive effects from it though

  @ShaunFitzzzy @Moyagi5 @EchoChamber741 Delaware Section 203 makes anything over 15% not worth it. That makes any GME takeover related votes pass through the board first for 3 years. This is also why Prop 4 to reduce the eBay special meeting requirement down from 20% to 10% so critical

  sellmyphone (@sellmyphone_) reported 36 minutes ago

  Here's how it works. Buyer receives your iPhone, claims Face ID is broken. eBay asks you to accept a return. What arrives back? Sometimes a different phone. Sometimes a cracked one. And eBay has no way to prove the fault wasn't there when you sent it.

  @ChikaBubbly I wouldn't use vinted for expensive things cuz they're not the best when it comes to protection lol, for both the buyer and seller On ebay there are ones for 350ish which isn't terrible ig, but might just go full retro for the time being, wii, ps3, etc.

  @Fez1967 @fesshole Hmmm, when was this? EBay UK doesn't allow blue mag sales. (Although in Lockdown, I flogged loads, haha. They went for stupid money, some £60 each, for skin mags from 1999-2000, I thought I was being trolled. Got the money OK but then Ebay really clamped down. Miserable *****!)

  @WhiteHouse So why's small businesses going broke from tariffs then you fat lying orange ****? Why am I still paying tariffs on eBay when they were struck down as ILLEGAL ****** FELON? Why have I not yet received those $5,000 DOGE & Tariff Dividend checks that you now said you never said? 🤡

  I want to touch on the fortnite sprites situation. So, as much as I enjoy the concept... There's a MASSIVE glaring issue here... People are LITERALLY SELLING gold variants and the zero point sprite... On places like eBay, and even on YouTube, twitch, and Tiktok streams...

  I am genuinely so heart broken. The collectors edition for a game came out and I found out to late. I guessed it would have one a year ago and it did. I missed out. I may give in once I see it pop up on eBay or something and buy it.

  @Clug741 At this point I'm just along for the ride. We ARE close though. The slow buying of eBay is the marker of that. The whole world has gotten so out of hand. Idk if whatever is gonna happen with this will even help. Hope it does though. Tired of the deception, tired of the fighting, tired of the evil. Enough is enough. I at least want real resolution so I can move on.

  @rozancv shipping is too much and their cards a bit overpriced imo. ive heard stories of people getting their orders cancelled and then relisted on ebay, inaccurate item descriptions. ive heard people have good and terrible experiences with them. it. just depends i guess!

  @TehSpearhead It will likely come back down. A lot of the Halo collector editions from the past are still sitting on ebay, and aren't as unreasonably priced as they once were.
