  @FoxgirlGoRawr Yep! Overall, I've not had terrible luck with returns given the amount of things I've sold on ebay but it does happen from time to time & for some cursed reason I've had a few returns in the past couple weeks. It's abnormal to have multiple in such a short time and I don't like it lol

  $GME popping on prelims. Sales down vs last year, profit up on the eBay mark, and they used cash to cap dilution. That's the meme print.

  @CardPurchaser How many cards are being sent now at $80? I doubt everyone will stop. Plus ebay showed me a 49.99 grade with psa offer on a card i was looking at so some people are probably using that. This could be the new model. Prices may never come back down.

  @ThePokeMD It’s fine had a similar issue before. eBay rep basically said if it is a fake card then it will always get rejected so this “miscategorization” isn’t related to authenticity etc

  GameStop is about to post a near-record profit. Almost none of it came from selling video games. The company guided to $290 to $310 million in net income last quarter, up from $169 million a year ago. Roughly $238 million of that is a paper gain on its eBay stake, not its stores. Actual sales fell to about $790 million from $972 million, down 19%. A video-game retailer now earns more from a stock bet than from its business. Ryan Cohen even made a $56 billion run at buying eBay outright, and eBay called it neither credible nor attractive. The register is shrinking while the balance sheet plays hedge fund. The stock tells the real story. Shares slid from $22 to $18 over the past 3 months, and a near-record profit has not stopped the bleed. A trading gain does not repeat on a schedule. The store decline does. $GME

  @hmefsww Hi, unfortunately I closed my website store down as they were charging a ridiculous amount to sell things. To keep prices reasonably I had to find an alternative and only have eBay at moment. I could do it via paypal cutting out ebay if you would like?

  LONG READ: Off-brand post, but as a longtime @Nike shareholder, this needs to be said. Nike used to be a company you could invest in and trust to run itself. Now the stock is trading in the high $30’s, a fresh 12-year low, down roughly 76% from its all-time high of $163.63 in November 2021. This didn’t happen overnight. It’s been a slow burn downhill. In 2020, Nike handed the company to John Donahoe, a former eBay and ServiceNow executive with a consulting background and no real history in sneakers or sport. The stock hit its all-time high under him in November 2021, but that wasn’t a product win, it was pandemic tailwinds. Lockdown spending and a digital sales boom carried the whole brand. Donahoe leaned into it, pulling back from wholesale partners like Foot Locker and Amazon to chase direct-to-consumer sales. It worked while the boom lasted. The second it ended, that same move handed Hoka, On, and New Balance the shelf space to take over. He spent the rest of his tenure cutting costs and squeezing profit out of old product instead of investing in anything new. On June 28, 2024, Nike’s stock fell 20% in a single day after weak earnings and guidance for a 10% revenue decline, its worst trading day in 44 years as a public company. It never really recovered. Nike has now erased roughly $200 billion in market value since its 2021 peak, the largest drawdown in the company’s history. Even Jordan Brand, the crown jewel, isn’t safe. Revenue fell from $8.7 billion in 2024 to $7 billion in 2026, two straight years of decline. Hoka went from $153 million to $2.6 billion in sales in eight years. On grew 285% in three years. Nike handed them the shelf space and gave people no reason to buy new. Stop putting bean counters and consultants in charge of a brand people love. Put product people back in charge. Open the SNKRS app right now. The Jordan 4 “Rare Air” Tour Yellow drops September 5th, a 20-year-old colorway from 2006, priced at $220. A shoe that’s already been made once, repackaged, made cheaper than its original release and marked up. Stop chasing what flippers on StockX think a re-release is worth. Price product for the people who actually want to wear it. Every dollar Nike hands to resale culture is a dollar it’s not making itself, and a customer it’s not building loyalty with. Nike has an entire team of engineers dedicated to fighting bots on SNKRS, blocking billions of fake entries every month just to protect launches like this. You wouldn’t need bot protection if you weren’t manufacturing the scarcity yourself, especially when a good chunk of these same releases end up marked down in outlets and clearance stores months later anyway. So what was the artificial scarcity even for? Elliott Hill spent 32 years at Nike, most of it running product, commerce, and marketing, before retiring in 2020. Now he’s back, cleaning up a mess a consultant-era CEO left behind. Even so, JPMorgan just downgraded the stock again this month, warning the pain from the turnaround won’t stabilize until fiscal 2028. Bringing back someone who actually gets the brand is the right move. But, it shouldn’t have taken a 76% collapse to get there.

  Former CEO of PayPal + Inuit Bill Harris on Moneywise today. He broke down his portfolio and expenses (and what it was like working w/ Elon + thiel. - Net worth: ~$100m. Divorce cut it roughly in half - ~$50m in operating companies he's starting, ~$25m diversified securities, ~$25m bonds. No PE/hedge/alts - "absurd fees" - PayPal/eBay exit: personally "more than 20 million, less than 50" - Personal Capital: sold to Empower for $825m with $23b AUM; his take was north of $100m post-tax - New venture: ~$10m of his own money in - Total annual burn: ~$70-80k all in, property tax included ("well less than a hundred thousand bucks") - No mortgage (cottage paid off), no car, bikes to work - Owned a ton of stuff (houses, cars, planes). Sold it all because it took too much time to maintain.

  @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

  The most reliable way to misread an earnings report is to start at the bottom line. $GME just posted preliminary net income up roughly 78% on net sales down roughly 19%. Both numbers are real. Only one of them is about the business. The quarter, company figures: -net sales: $780M to $800M, vs $972.2M a year ago -net income: $290M to $310M, vs $168.6M -operating income: $150M to $170M, vs $66.4M The bridge from falling sales to rising profit is one line. Roughly $238M of gains on an eBay derivative asset and an equity investment, less roughly $75M of digital-asset losses. about $163M of pre-tax marks. For scale: that eBay exposure is carried at about $4.947B. the company books about $790M of sales in a quarter. when the portfolio is that big, the income statement is partly a report on the portfolio. Credit where due: operating income more than doubled. that is a bigger percentage jump than the net income line everyone quotes. smaller, tighter, better-run retailer. real progress. not the headline story. Keep this part: -net income up while revenue is down: find the non-operating line first. it is usually one line, and it is usually named -size the securities book against the operating result. a $5B position swamps a sub-$200M quarter, in both directions -falling sales with improving operating income is a cost story. real, but a different story from the headline I am fully invested, and none of this changes that. guidance direction and price reaction have been disagreeing all earnings season. last Thursday five of seven reporters raised guidance and four of the seven closed lower. reading the price as the verdict on the numbers is the error. The case against: I may be underselling the operating turn, which more than doubled at every point of the guided range. and these are preliminary figures. no call is scheduled, and complete results are due September 8. $GME $EBAY

  @laralogan Goodwill was established to train unemployed or undereducated men to repair items for resale. Now they don't accept broken items that need repair. And they have learned that they can make more money reselling stuff on eBay than in stores.

  @eBay when a seller chooses your ESE option and pays for it, it should come out at that time just like any other service one chooses to ship with. It’s annoying as hell to see my balance go down 2-3 day later and have to track which fee it was for

  HowlingHemorrhoids (@DeadlessHick) reported 57 minutes ago

  A funny thing about ebay for me is when I get a wild hair up my *** on buying stuff, like a new HDD to replace a dead one in my server, I'll peruse the auctions with current bids ~50% below market value, and then place a max bid of ~80% market value. Often times I do this, I see that someone else has already placed a higher max bid than I'm willing to do. So I feel like a gremlin running around ebay casually helping sellers and causing the other bidders to lose a chance at a true deal. I got a $420 camera lens for $200 doing this method though.

  Anyone else notice how much better listing has gotten? I hadn’t listed cards on eBay in a while because of the fees and how long it took. Used to be 3–5 minutes per card. Listed a few Laz and Rainiel cards today and the AI had me down to about a minute each. @CardPurchaser

  He built an autonomous Grok Bot named Reaper, handed it his credit card debt and told it to pay off his credit card debt for him. He gave the bot its own computer in the cloud and access to his email. Then he basically said: “This debt is your problem now. Don’t ask me for money. Just report back every night.” What Reaper actually did • canceled old subscriptions he’d forgotten • talked the credit card company into a lower interest rate • moved most of the balance to a 0% card • got a couple of charges refunded • sold his unused PlayStation and monitors on eBay • put every extra dollar it found toward the debt I spoke to him and he said he plans to work on more upgrades and refine its function He is fully onboard and will join the community to tell us about his future plans Ca;
