Jonny 2 Gnarly (@2_gnar) reportedI seriously want to get this made… I can obviously find a place in China to do it, but does anyone have any local suggestions? I can get Adidas logos and the FC Cincy badge off eBay so the copyrighted stuff isn’t an issue… I just need a good sublimated jersey maker

Oshan Ruiz (@oshanruiz) reported@benwegmann Long time ebay-er here, well used to be to the point It was my primary income for a time. Totally abandoned it: 1. The listing process is a bogged down mess, the 2. Feedback system was great in the beginning but useless now. 3. Search engine favors promoted items, useless! 1/2

Cash Flow Files (@CashFlowFiles) reportedA 21-year-old student needed money for college. So he created one of the dumbest-sounding businesses imaginable: He sold pixels on a website for $1 each. 5 months later, he had made $1,037,100. Here’s how: In 2005, Alex Tew was worried about taking on student debt. He had no big audience. No investors. No revolutionary technology. He just had an idea: Create a webpage with 1,000,000 pixels. Sell every pixel for $1. Businesses could buy blocks of pixels, put their logo on them, and link back to their website. Simple math: 1,000,000 pixels × $1 = $1,000,000 The problem? Nobody knew the site existed. So Alex convinced friends and family to buy the first few blocks. After the site made its first $1,000, he pushed the story to the press. That changed everything. The weirdness of the idea became the marketing. People weren’t just buying ad space anymore. They were buying a piece of an internet experiment everyone was talking about. More press created more traffic. More traffic made the ad space more valuable. More advertisers created an even crazier-looking homepage. Which created even more press. It became a loop. By the end, 999,000 pixels were sold. Instead of selling the final 1,000 for $1 each, Alex auctioned them on eBay. Winning bid: $38,100. Total gross revenue: $1,037,100. (Wikipedia) The lesson isn’t “go sell pixels.” That opportunity worked because it was novel. The lesson is better: Sometimes the product isn’t what makes the money. The story around the product creates the distribution. And distribution can turn something almost worthless… into something people fight to buy.

Aaron Kowalski (@aaronpkowalski) reportedWe built internal listing software that took us from 200 unique products per week to 1000 products uploaded per week. I'm thinking about licensing two versions of it, Shopify full service brand building and a very slimmed down Ebay bulk loader.

KlementineHS🔥(KESTAFA) (@KlementineHS) reported@MrCapyBaraJr @OfficialPCMR What a nonsense comment. 90 tier cards always hold value. 4090 released 4 years ago for $1599. Now used 4090s go for $2300-$2400 on eBay. 5090 will not be going down to 3k but you can still assume it would to feel better about it

Pie (@pielecha) reported@drewscardshop @PSAcard @eBay Was it the authenticator in Jersey City, NJ? Every card I’ve got through them has had this issue if it was taped at all. Had one that got damaged because of it. Fuckibg terrible

Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reportedPeople think Ryan Cohen has been doing a media tour. He hasn't. Every single interview has been filed with the SEC as a Form 425. That's not just PR. That's an official solicitation document targeting eBay's shareholders. And eBay's shareholder base is almost entirely institutional. So every time Cohen sat down on camera and said: "My circle of competence is e-commerce." "eBay is similar to Chewy." "Physical retail was learning on the job." "eBay is under earning." He was delivering a pitch to institutions, on the record, filed with the SEC. And the pitch is simple: I've proven twice that my marketplace model generates real margin without extraction. Chewy took Amazon's pet market share. $GME posted 17% operating margins on Power Packs. Both receipts are public. Now give me eBay and let me do it at scale.

Patriot Marie (@PatriotMarie1) reported🚨 Bill Gates’ daughter has been caught up in a major fraud scandal that could land her in federal prison for up to 20 years. Phoebe Gates, the 23-year-old daughter of the world’s most famous billionaire, co-founded a browser extension called Phia that was marketed as a helpful “personal shopping assistant” designed to find better fashion deals for users while earning commissions the legitimate way. Instead, a Bloomberg investigation and internal Slack messages have revealed that the company was allegedly running a classic cookie-stuffing scheme, silently opening background tabs, forcing its own tracking cookies onto users’ browsers, and then claiming commissions on sales it never actually drove through fake or simulated clicks. What makes this especially damaging is that Phoebe was not in the dark about the practice. In a December message to her team she specifically asked them to “confirm auto pop for cookie drop is live on ALL sites… to confirm we are monetizing on all [gross merchandise volume],” while her co-founder continued pushing to keep the system active even after engineers raised compliance concerns. When the feature was finally disabled, Phia’s average daily revenue collapsed from around $80,000 to as low as $10,000–$28,000, and cookie stuffing reportedly accounted for 51% of the sales the company claimed credit for in a single month. Corporate attorney Ariel Givner has warned that this exact conduct is typically treated as federal wire fraud in U.S. courts, carrying a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison along with fines and restitution. There is already clear precedent: an affiliate marketer who ran a similar scheme against eBay (which ironically invested in Phia) was convicted and sent to federal prison. Phoebe has spent years insisting her startup would succeed with “no ties to my privilege or my last name,” yet the internal records now paint a very different picture of a company whose growth appears to have relied heavily on quietly siphoning commissions it did not earn. For a billionaire’s daughter who positioned herself as an independent entrepreneur, this scandal has suddenly become far more than a PR problem. Kari Bundy-- Health Actvist

Corporal K’s Cards (@CorporalKscards) reported@BosCardHunter I found that with all AI mass sorters. They ID parallels incorrectly. Card Dealer pro had this problem. Good for older cards but terrible for modern. Ebay verification is getting really good.

Kang Lewie (@DapparSwagg) reported@eBay can you tell me why it is so hard to get past your AI system on both the phone and chat services. I have had a terrible time trying to get help with a purchase

Rdubs (@Rdubbles) reported@PabloGRadio Exactly that proves your point. Trust me , eBay is very easy to deal with when you're a buyer with a complaint. It's why I drafted that up for you. So you have evidence and just cut down on the hassle. You don't have to use mine but do something similar

The Great MacGuffin (@RyTheGoat_) reportedI’m currently trying to move some slabs in order to purchase others that I want more however, every person on eBay keep sending offers below the cost to grade and get them signed. I understand trying to talk someone down a little bit and negotiate but at what point do I say stop being a clown hell offer a trade with it at least. Even on Instagram someone wanted my Akira absolute Batman double signed for 300 bucks. I’m not selling it but are these people don’t know or they think they’re trying to catch someone lacking I said the duck.

cryp (@crypCS) reported@nonexpertt @realPhantomFuck @benwegmann Of course selling third party will net more than trade in. And yes it is legit, but I've had 2 sales 1 purchase on swappa. The purchas the phone was stuck bootlooping and one of the sales the customer complained about dust around the lens (something easily cleaned with a Qtip and I didn't notice it) which allowed him to send it back and cost me $60 in fees/ship. Meanwhile sold 3,000 items on ebay with only 10 or so issues. I personally would recommend selling on eBay but go where your net is highest.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 190 Total sales: $50.00 eBay earnings: $35.66 Buy cost (COG): $14.68 Net profit: $20.98 ROI: 143% Not every day is going to be a $500 or $1,000 profit day. Some days you'll have 1 sale. Some days you'll have none. That's just part of running an eBay business. The key is not letting a slow day affect what you do tomorrow. I could look at today and be disappointed or I can keep listing, keep sourcing, & trust the process that's produced over $52,000 in eBay earnings so far this year. The biggest mistake isn't having a slow day. The biggest mistake is letting a slow day cause you to stop doing the things that create the big days. Tomorrow is a new opportunity. On to bigger days. 💪📦

Mindi (@hey_mindi) reportedMy Little House book series unicorn find arrived today. The box didn’t make it through the journey, so I received it like this. Unfortunately, some of the covers on the discontinued copies now have creases. Will it affect resale? I’m going to find out. I paid $25 for this entire lot and eBay sold comps on the combined sets are over $500. My biggest problem actually isn’t the creased covers. It’s wanting to keep this set because I am a book collector as much as I am a book seller. What would you do?
