  You are handed an envelope and told to write down the most you would pay for a broadcasting license. Highest number wins. But the winner does not pay their own number. They pay the second-highest one. Name your price. Most people shade down. They write less than they would really pay, because that is what you do in an auction. You protect yourself from overpaying. That instinct is provably wrong here. Under these rules your bid never sets your price. It only decides whether you win. Writing anything below your true maximum can only lose you a deal you wanted. Honesty is not a virtue in this auction. It is the dominant strategy. An economist proved that in 1961. His name was William Vickrey. New Zealand actually ran it. In 1990 the government sold radio spectrum this way with no reserve prices. On one license the winning bid was NZ$100,000. The price paid was NZ$6. On another the winner bid NZ$7 million and paid NZ$5,000. The sale was projected to raise NZ$250 million. It raised NZ$36 million. The country decided the theory was insane. The country was wrong about which part failed. Every bid was honest and every license went to whoever wanted it most, exactly as designed. The money vanished because there were no reserve prices and ten near-identical licenses were sold in parallel, so the second-highest bid on any one of them could be almost nothing. Then the bids were published and everyone saw a company that would have paid NZ$100,000 hand over NZ$6. That is the real scandal. Not the money. The visibility. Vickrey won the Nobel for this work in October 1996. He was dead three days later. The mechanism did not stay in New Zealand. It is why eBay asks for your maximum instead of your bid. The price was never set by how badly you wanted the thing. It was set by the second-most-eager person in the room, and you have spent your whole life negotiating as if that were not true.

  @jarbungus Try contacting who you bought it from, if it’s something like Amazon they can replace that pretty quickly, if it was eBay you might have harder issues

  After many months of losing the spark due to some personal issues, its time to get back on the horse and crack on, part out of spite towards geebubs, part as it needs to happen. Painting wise we got a kill team of legionnaires, renegade more than full on, a Vindicare assassin, big bobby G (backpack bit broke off but it was an ebay snipe) as well as myself (there are layers to this irony. And though a legends model in its own right; **** it)

  @PatrickHarmonn @eBay Why bid though if immediately ask to retract? I’ve had same issue re never paying but don’t understand the “cancel my bid” request.

  GameStop just amended the convertible-note exchange. They were going to pay the whole $1.4B in stock, using a 35-day average price. Today they cut that short. Noteholders now get about 55.5 million GME shares and about $358 million in cash. That’s 55.5 million new shares going to the funds that held the 2030 and 2032 notes - not a public offering. They also dropped preliminary Q2 numbers in the same filing: 👉 sales down versus last year’s Switch 2 quarter 👉 operating profit up 👉 cash now in the $5.05–5.07B range after they converted the eBay position into about 43.4 million actual eBay shares September 3rd is the date to watch. That’s when this is slated to close. 👀 cc: @gamestop @ryancohen @TheRoaringKitty $GME

  Hey, Ebay, I’m not using a new device to sign in. Why can’t you just recognize my email, you crap company? I’ve been using the same email for years.

  @TheLaurenChen eBay sells every single book a child could want for $3-5/pop. Every one living in a major american city is within at most 5 miles of a goodwill/salvation army with $1/$2 books. Every library has these programs. Access to books is not the problem. THis is all performative.

  @KXAN_News It's becoming like eBay: used, imperfect items marked down 5% from brand-new prices. "That hoodie may still be new at the mall- but yours is missing the strings, has a hole in the back and a stain on the front- plz tell me how you think you deserve $58 for this"

  @JesseBallCards @CardPurchaser @eBay eBay pockets 3.80. You pay extra because you’re either a slow shipper or you neglected a refund request. The government takes 2 dollars and the shipping company takes another dollar.

  Had an Air Force family live down the street from me. The oldest son was the neighborhood know-it-all and show-off. Of course, he had the nicest, most expensive bike among all the kids. Mongoose had a deal going with military exchanges, and last time I visited the nearest base commissary, they still do. Anyway this kid had a Mongoose. The Blue Max branded Mongoose. About two years later his dad was caught doing PCS fraud. Lost his commission. Had to sell his prize 1960s Corvette he kept in the garage. Had to sell the house pronto because the Air Force yanked his BAH the day they yanked his commission. They even tried to give away a Hawaiian vacation to whoever bought that stupid house, the poor fools. They never sold it. They defaulted. They showed up in town a few years later, the entire family riding motorcycles. They had no home anymore, so they just rode motorcycles, as a family, around the United States. Anyway if you still have your Mongoose or Hutch or Redline, they go for a lot of money on Ebay now.

  @Shuttsapalooza Yeah it's bad times out there. I've a pal that buys broken yins off ebay and sorts them before punting them, I'll ask about. If you absolutely need a guarantee/warranty, Sony do sell refurbs with a slight discount + 1yr warranty, seems a solid choice.

  @LefterisJP Yeah the VAT thing is terrible. I had small online shop (side job), sold 90% to other EU countries. €10k is nothing, even for a small shop. I wouldn't be able to afford a website cart that does that, unless ebay/amazon does it for you. The new packaging law is also a killer. It's not about more EU, in fact, less EU is needed and countries start competing again with each other and fix their own bureaucratic mess.

  Ban all foreign sellers on eBay and amazon and hundreds of other websites across America ban them all or shut down the website if they refuse and put American seller first. These sites have become third world flea markets online blocking Americans from selling

  @eBay why do you allow terrible people like this on your platform? He replies to feedback with threats and stalking (when I ran a background check), brings in users family's (you have a 10 year old), deflects any blame or responsibility, and it just horrible. You should kick him off the platform.

  I’m hoping Pokémon does something to fix the pin rally issues for this event. I’m pretty sure we’re all out of luck, but maybe like mailing a set of pins to each XP person or reprinting the pin rally pins for league / other promo stuff. Since I was competing on Friday, I didn’t get a chance to get pins. Idk if it started Thursday or not so maybe I had a chance, but everything shut down shortly after it started on Saturday. It isn’t happening on Sunday. If the rumoured reasoning of attendee safety is true, I get it. I really do. I want us all to be safe and the lines have been wild (an understatement frfr). But like as a Pokemon fan, I just want the pins for the event bc they look cool. The second hand market is about to go crazy with $500 one day only Charizard, Jirachi, and Umbreon pins lmfao. The $300 full set “scalper” eBay listings are looking like a steal rn. Like what do they even do with the pins now? Are these just gonna be ultra rare “lost relics” that get destroyed with the only few ones out there being pinned on random hats of true collectors and outrageous secondary market prices? I’m honestly just curious at this point bc I’ve already gotten over the fact that Michele, Camille, and I won’t complete a set, let alone get more than the 3 different pins we already have 😭

  @CardsMax The main issue here is do people run a business or are they just playing with their cards? It’s up to them. If they’re running a business, the response should be “thank you for the offer but I’ll pass.” And it’s over. There is no need to get combatitive. It hurts your business. But again, not everyone is running a business on eBay.
