  @OptaSTATS @Yankees And yet the card market treats him like a role player. For a résumé no one else in history matches, Bellinger trades at just a $17 average across 135 eBay tracked sales in 90 days, with only 2 cards clearing $100. The hobby priced him off the down years, not the trophy case. One of the most decorated players in the game, sitting in the bargain bin.

  Challenged by Krill (@DominosJack) reported 9 minutes ago

  Over the course of multiple long form interviews discussing the activist bid for eBay there has been one highly relevant subject that has been completely avoided. This proverbial purple elephant in the room is of course Bed Bath and Beyond. At no point was Ryan asked if he learned anything from the BBBY activist campaign that may prove useful with eBay or if he’s concerned that a second high profile failure will tarnish his activist career moving forward or any number of relevant discussions regarding his experience with Bed Bath and Beyond. There is a 0% chance this was not by design. Ryan’s PR team of course demanded silence on this issue in return for the exclusive which, given his rising status in the investment world and on the social landscape, was a no brainer for everyone who took the interview. Why not just use this press blitz as an opportunity to put the BBBY rumors to rest once and for all. Surely there would be no conflict of interest in disavowing one’s affiliation with a dead company. In Ryan’s silence an orchestral crescendo of reemergence sings in the hearts of man and butterfly.

  I do not understand why @eBay does not just block ESE as an option if someone pays for USPS Ground Advantage in the listing. Seems like an easy fix to stop a bunch of issues.

  @alanwatts21 @ryancohen I won’t be surprised if we find out that these fraud heavy accounts are pulling in money for the USAID/NGO vacuum that DOGE created. The issue with USPS tracking numbers being fed to the fraudsters to provide a faux proxy delivery within a zip code where the eBay buyer resides is very suspicious. The USPS refuses to give info of point of delivery that proves the delivery was made to a location NOT the buyer’s eBay registered address makes me think USPS is party to the scam.

  Great American Sports Cards (@therealgasc) reported 17 minutes ago

  Hey everyone! I was getting the sheet ready for today's break and realized we made a mistake in the listings of the 25/26 Finest UEFA breaks. When we copied the teams over from the checklist we pasted them into the wrong cell on the sheet we use to upload the listings into eBay. With that said there are the teams that were listed that are not available in the product. Eintracht Frankfurt Nottingham Forest PSV Eindhoven Here is what we are doing to correct it. We will issue refunds to anyone that purchased any of these teams and you will receive one of the unlisted teams for free in the break. Here are the teams that were not listed FC Salzburg LOSC Lille Olympique de Marseille Apologies for the error on this one!

  @paulcarldigital I have based my entire ebay store on bookmarking this thread and making notes on it. The only thing holding me back sometimes is that im not selling bulk purchased cards for 10-15% on the dollar so ive been starting with pricing my lots at a tad lower than the lowest price that each card is currently up for sale at and then taking 10% off of the entire lot. Most of them dont sell until I bump them down a couple times(even though its already a great deal on price). Starting to consider taking 15-20% off but that burns because its all stuff ive ripped over the years. Free shipping of course. I add the minimal cost into the price of the lot though.

  @Oxfordite If it is wrong size though, isn’t it easier to return the wrong size and get the correct one? I have discussed one of my latest eBay problems with ChatGPT and discovered sellers get reimbursed for problems. So they are not at loss.

  @eBay This is bullshit. You make people add a payment method to bid, but then you let them ghost and I have to wait 4 days? Either charge the damn card the second they win or don’t let them bid at all. Winning an auction should lock in the payment immediately. Fix this crap.

  Don Greer (@theDonGreer) reported 34 minutes ago

  @ClimateAudit I doubt it as well, but if you're gonna tilt at that windmill, it seems to me the number of windmills left to tilt with marches on to the horizon. :) Seriously, most meme coins are just a little slimy, but again, I don't think the government should ride in and save the day. There might be actual utility there, but it needs to be discovered, and clamping down before that discovery mechanism has time to work seems like the wrong answer. The same argument could be made against OTC trading of penny stocks. Would you want to make that illegal as well? And what about Meme stocks? GME was all but left for dead until the WallStreetBets crowd poured money into the market for it. One of those guys is now the CEO, and not only has he gotten the company's financials under control, but he's also actively looking at acquiring eBay. Cutting off something that sounds questionable before it has time to come to fruition can lead to serious negative consequences, and I personally don't think we have finished playing out the bitcoin/altcoin drama yet. YMMV

  @anaway @bizgoos @FlaggNation It probably means that it was listed for higher than market and he negotiated it down to market. You lack serious critical thinking skills and are defending some random ****** eBay seller with a hot head for no reason. Get some sleep.

  DirtΞvader (@dirtevader) reported 39 minutes ago

  @Hey_ross @magsonthemoon RC is a master at the game, imo, so your first comment may be right... But, there is no way RC has lost control of the deal, imo. It should be pretty clear, from RC's perspective this has been on his mind for many years, possibly pre-2022. Hindsight is 20/20 but imo, the Teddy Books weren't created with a striking similarity to eBay's colors for no reason. I am pretty sure I have discovered why eBay doesn't want to engage. Because, they don't want a due diligence process to happen. Because they are stuck. Stuck in an intangible asset problem, and the only way for them to not expose it, is to keep buying non-profitable VC backed businesses every year, which they have, like clockwork, since at least 2020. These acquisitions help them inflate the asset side of their balance sheet, and keep that $ 4-5B worth of Goodwill even-steven. And I can prove it. Their Caramel acquisition last year, is a prime example. Proof of existence of that company, are two empty parking lots, and an obscure business complex, with a shady looking "not Caramel" sticker on the front glass door. eBay's Tise acquisition at the end of last year, is actually a business, a Norwegian business, that fits the description, and nothing I can find, shows them as being profitable, except for maybe eBay Ventures. eBay Inc.'s VC subsidiary based in Switzerland, that was an initial investor in Tise in their early funding rounds. Make that math work out. Just like the Depop acquisition announced in Feb of this year. That VC business has been around since 2011, and has never made money. Etsy's latest annual meeting pre-recorded comments by the Etsy CFO proves that. Depop appears to have been a $100M drag on Etsy's EBITDA at the conclusion of 2025. eBay's Goodwill figure which is on the Asset side of their balance sheet needs to be in place to offset their quite large debt load since at least 2020. Another reason why eBay primarily pays cash for the honor of buying these non-profitable VC backed companies. It is the same reason why, eBay buys these businesses and retains their original names, and other than revenue, these businesses are a drag on their Income Statement. But you would never know, as they don't individually report on them, and consider eBay, and the rest of their shady acquisition deals, as one business. In all of the SEC EDGAR filings, the search words specifically with the quotes "eBay Ventures" has only shown up twice since they set them up in Switzerland in 2022. And the first time, it is mentioned in some director's bio, who used to be an eBay employee. I smell a discount. And possibly a court case or two. But that is just me. I'd like for you to take a look at what I am seeing, and give me your opinion. Mags you too. I think you have an eye for calling out BS. Contrarians, like RC, look for opportunities. And if what I see is true, the opportunity just gets larger and larger. And it should be well known, RC is good at looking at what others don't see. Prime Example is the old fraud infested Bob-E.

  @whitebriefsbro You’re acting like this is bad news. Sorry, I don’t buy cheap underwear. Fruit of the Loom’s stitching and fabric are terrible. They own BVD, but not the Japanese rights, so I buy Japanese BVD on eBay. If it’s holding my junk, I want quality, not bargain-bin fabric.

  @Jeffdeehan Having firsthand experience with situations like this, I can tell you that, generally speaking, most of this equipment is worthless. I would strongly suggest grabbing someone with solid kitchen experience to walk through the space with you. Have them pull any proprietary or potentially valuable components—control boards, circuit boards, specific switches, or the occasional useful part. That said, the most important thing to know is that the vast majority of it is junk. You’ll likely be able to reduce everything down to just a few boxes of keepers. Sell those on eBay (or similar), make a few bucks, and take your team out for lunch. Then call your local recycler to haul away the rest. Trust me—your desire to squeeze out a few extra dollars isn’t worth the pain of trying to market, store, or move this stuff. The secondary market for used restaurant equipment is extremely limited.

  @LordCharizard33 Ya I feel that man. I've only tried like 4 releases now, and have been let down every time. **** is always sold out. What I don't understand is how people are able to do pre sales on eBay for these items when getting them is not guaranteed. I really think something is broken.

  yesterday i used Seedance to generate AI models for eBay product listings. clothes on AI-generated bodies. clean shots, good lighting, no photographer needed. it worked. really well actually. and then i sat with it for a minute. because there's a line here that nobody's drawing clearly. when does AI-generated product imagery cross from useful shortcut to something that erodes trust in what you're actually buying? i spent years as a UX designer before i started building AI tools. the core principle that stuck with me: users make decisions based on what the interface tells them is real. if the interface doesn't distinguish between a photo and a generation, the user can't either. now i'm deep in Claude Code loop engineering. designing agent workflows where the AI decides what to do next without asking me. every loop needs a visible checkpoint where the user can see what happened and why. that's the design problem. the safety conversation needs more people who've actually built those checkpoints, because right now the trust layer is getting designed by people who've never watched a user stare at an AI output and wonder if it's real.

  Ugh, so much plastic gear turning up broken. I suspect a lot of it is because of parcels being thrown around, but there's also a lot of bad packing, like one or two layers of bubble and then the rest of box is full of space for the items to fly around in, feels like the ration of horses with their tails still attached is 5 to 1. Trains, if they're in their original box, they never pad them out, so when they arrive, all the brittle front engine parts are smashed. I stopped trying to get a good one because it felt like I was slaughtering the vintage product line by have so many turn up damaged, I mean old brittle plastic, no effective protection. So many do a really good job. I mean, I tell folk it turned up without a tail, or xy broken and it just upsets everyone. And as you're the one that received it, it's like it's your fault, first anyone has heard of broken. And no one wants to ruin someone’s 100% ebay feedback. So it just goes on and on. I don't think it's about have ebay stuff, it's about it turning up in one piece, after nth goes. nth folk bad packing and delivery screw ups. Shopping, retail therapy should be a good time. But by time its gone through the mill of bad packing and delivery, the dream has turned into a stressful nightmare.

  In 2010, two Irish brothers founded Stripe to build what PayPal should have been. Yesterday, Stripe offered $53 billion to buy PayPal itself. Together with Advent International, Stripe tabled $60.50 per share - a 28% premium. PayPal jumped 19% on the news. The board hasn't answered yet. Sit with the numbers for a second. In July 2021, PayPal was worth $360 billion. It was the undisputed king of online payments - the company that built the category, the alumni network that produced Musk, Thiel, and half of Silicon Valley's founding class. The "PayPal mafia" became shorthand for tech royalty. This year, its market value touched $36 billion. Ninety percent - gone in under five years. Not because payments shrank. Payments exploded. PayPal lost the decade to faster checkout flows, embedded finance, and a developer-first competitor that simply out-built it. In February, PayPal's market value fell below eBay's - the company it was spun out of in 2015. The child became worth less than the parent it outgrew. And now the offer on the table is $53 billion. Roughly 15 cents on the peak dollar. Here's what makes this bid remarkable beyond the symbolism. Stripe never went public. While PayPal spent a decade being repriced, quarter by quarter, by a market that punished every stumble, Stripe stayed private, took the long view, and compounded quietly. Now the private challenger - teamed with private equity - proposes to take the public pioneer off the market entirely. If that playbook sounds familiar, it should. It's Dell, 2013: a fallen public giant, a buyer convinced the problems are fixable away from the quarterly spotlight, and shareholders being offered a premium to today's price that is also a fraction of yesterday's. Dell's take-private turned $1.8 billion into $15 billion. It's the most profitable tech buyout in history. Whether PayPal has a Dell inside it is the entire question. So if you're a PayPal shareholder, here's your choice: $60.50 in cash - 28% above yesterday, 80% below 2021. Take the money, or bet the turnaround?
