  @Houseknech9360 @wilsonhlthcoach That’s awesome. We all lived that experience for the last fifty years. I repeated it a dozen times managing work trucks for the family business. There used to be a time when $2000 and eBay motors would get me a Toyota basic pickup or gmc sierra or ford f150 that would survive a year of employees abusing it. Good times. Many memories of all the times I had to flat tow a broken down truck back to the office and decide if it was worth fixing. Maintenance crews are awesome, they’d just leave a truck full of tools and walk home to call me, maybe stop for a pack of cigarettes on the way. No hurry at all. Thank god for cellphones in the early millennium right? That let me add managing employees phones to the list of things I did automatically. Phones were less trouble than trucks though. Anyway the point is that there’s a time in life when you’ll put up with the inexpensive but time consuming and it’s honorable and productive and all that. Then there’s a time when you’re just not willing to mess with it anymore for whatever reason. That’s when it makes sense to buy a Tesla. You’ll just spend less time screwing with the mechanics of moving yourself around. You’ll realize driving is a part time job that stresses you out and makes your back hurt and increases your distraction. Just pick a place you need to be with your phone and share the link to your Tesla. It’ll be ready to leave when you get in. Seatbelt, tap the screen, and take a break or make calls or have a coffee or pet your dog while you don’t worry about traffic.

  @DanielW40094974 The problem with that is 1)EBAY holders don’t take the current bid seriously because 2) in reality, it’s not remotely close to being worth $125 because it double counts the cash $GME is already paying to EBay shareholders.

  @RetroMoviesDB I think he's been pushing to do this for almost 20 years now. He wanted Gerard Butler to play Snake Pliskin originally. But now we know he can't write for **** and will film it with his broken camera lense he bought of ebay I hope it doesn't happen.

  @itiscarlita @vinted Vinted is terrible. Had my business until they discriminated against people who are unable to go out and post items, rather than being collected from home by changing how you could post items. Weren't interested in anything I had to say. Went to ebay and it was the best move ever

  @ValueAddedRS So @eBay is an auction site losing buyers & sellers, run by a board that turned down a $125 bid — a 46% premium — as ‘neither credible nor attractive’ while its officers sold below $90. $EBAY sits at $110 — after $GME 🔒 7.78% economic exposure at a discount. The only thing not credible or attractive are those feeding off eBay’s perverse incentives. Can’t wait for @ryancohen to shatter EPS with the value $EBAY couldn’t deliver to its shareholders. $EBAY $GME

  Hey @eBay fix your broken system. I just made a huge purchase of $1500 using gift cards and the seller canceled. I got my gift cards back but there’s a $1500 a month limit so now I have to sit on $1500 worth of gift cards for 1 month before I can use them again. Complete BS

  @avillanueva3rd @Ob1JohnKenob1 Respectfully, ebay can suck it. I only use them to reduce my tax compliance burden. Otherwise I would sell offline. If they want to ding me for making my operations more efficient that’s their problem. That’s why competition is good.

  Why your AI eBay listings come out generic and the fix The mistake is structural. A fresh chat every time starts cold no memory of your inventory or standards. Generic in, generic out. The fix: a Claude Project. It stores instructions permanently, so you operate a trained specialist, not a blank chat. The key principle: authentication before pricing. The model confirms the item's era from the photos before it writes a word and never guesses. Why it matters: that step is the gap between a $25 listing and an $80 one. The edge was never the code. It's the instruction that runs first.

  Officer Jimmy Malone (@PatrolmanMalone) reported 50 minutes ago

  @eBay follow up: Judging by the responses to the OP, I'm late to the party about 'feebay's' atrocious fee schemes, deceptively called "selling costs." Oh well. I'm going to shed some 'sunlight' on this anyway, on the slim chance that eBay might change their ways. I've been an eBay user almost from the beginning and have used it extensively in times past as both a buyer and a seller, with great results. I loved the way it used to be, but not anymore. This recent effort was based on my past experiences. I thought it would still be a great way to get my grandkids involved and let them earn some money, teach them a little about ecommerce and get rid of some old inventory in the process. I thought I'd begin with about 400 items, of the 1,000 or so I have of old, obsolete NOS car parts that eBay used to be perfect for. The results at this point are shocking to say the least. I hesitated to disclose the data publicly, on the fear they'd easily figure out which account is mine with that data and we'd just go from dismal, to abysmal, or just be cancelled outright. But it's actually worse than I thought and my attitude now is: unless it changes I'm done anyway. So screw it. Here goes. Of about 400 items, only 43 have sold in 3 months, which itself is terrible for brand new, obsolete (hard to find), New Old Stock (NOS) items. After about 3 months, I thought everything would be gone by now. Worse than that though is the sales data, as shown in the annotated screenshot below, from my account seller profile last night. Of the $889.25 total sales, less taxes, our net is $359.56. All of my listings are 'buyer pays shipping,' so there's no shipping costs included in this data. That means the rest, $529.69 went to 'feeBay' in 'selling costs.' Doing the math, that's 59.6% of the total for: my materials, my work creating the listings, managing it, and my grandkids 'pick and pack' efforts. Basically 60% in fees!! And we get to keep 40.4% of that!?!? That's outrageous and a great way to kill what used to be a good company. @eBay, you've put yourself in a vulnerable position, leaving room for someone to startup a competitor that conducts business the way old eBay did, minimal fees, users making money in their spare time and having fun doing it. Maybe @X would? Your move, eBay. Choose wisely.

  16 Week Recap Days 1-112 Total sales: $41,731.10 
Buy cost: $7,032.71 
eBay earnings: $22,766.72 
Net profit: $15,734.01 
ROI: 223% 460+ items sold. 112 days ago I started tracking this journey. Since then: • $41,731.10 in sales
• $15,734.01 in net profit
• 460+ items sold The biggest lesson so far? My model isn't about finding one massive flip. It's about making hundreds of good decisions. Some items arrive broken.
Some are missing parts.
Some get refunded.
Some get canceled. That's part of buying returns and open box inventory. The goal isn't perfection. The goal is buying well enough that the wins outweigh the losses over time. Looking back, the biggest improvement hasn't been sales. It's buying discipline. Lower cost of goods.
Better inventory selection.
Fewer mistakes.
More consistency. The strong days are showing up more often, and the weak days don't hurt nearly as much as they used to. Still learning.
Still adapting.
Still building.

  @AddictedHoosier @CardPurchaser I saw an ungraded base prizm go for $180 on eBay. Every single card that was listed for under $100 was sold or taken down within 10 minutes of the final whistle. I bought two, couldn’t help myself.
