  @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.

  🚨 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

  After going through EBay’s terrible AI I was finally able to speak to a real person and submit an appeal. They said after careful consideration they’re not lifting my ban. My dude. I tried to sell a singular Pokemon Card, what the actual **** are these guys on about lmao. They refused to give me an actual reason why, too. **** eBay

  Made In England (@BuyEnglishMade) reported 7 minutes ago

  Temu's UK company, Whaleco, reported no employees and no fixed assets in its 2024 accounts, filed September 2025. Revenue was £46.6m and profit before tax £2.88m, and that revenue is a service fee from affiliated companies, not what British shoppers actually spent. The Fair Tax Foundation says there's been no UK corporation tax paid on trading activity for two years, despite what it calls Temu's enormous UK sales, alleging over £553m of UK revenue was routed through Ireland last year alone. Next to no jobs here. Next to no offices here. Next to no infrastructure investment here. And this at a scale where Ofcom now puts Temu's UK reach at 28.4 million visits a month, third behind only Amazon and eBay, and 58% of UK online adults. Temu is owned by PDD Holdings, listed on Nasdaq and still substantially controlled by its Chinese founder, Colin Huang, whose supply chain and commercial roots remain overwhelmingly in China. People rightly worry about the high street closing down. But do we have the right to complain, when the Fair Tax Foundation's own figures suggest over half a billion pounds is flowing straight out of the hands of high street shop owners and into a company that barely has a UK footprint?

  @OffDaHook35 nobody should want to go back to when you’d sell a single on eBay then have to pray the buyer doesn’t come back asking for a return over BS condition issues and shifting comps. authentication is great they just need to sort out the damn packaging.

  @PokeTCGAlerts The problem is half the people complaining about the market are the ones buying on whatnot and ebay streams, ordering pokerev packs and helping fund the problem.

  I am the Director of Retroactive Attribution at Phia, the shopping app Phoebe Gates co-founded. My job did not exist in June. It exists now because someone has to go back and figure out, after the fact, who actually gets credit for what. Attribution was always the word. I did not invent it. I inherited it. Here is what I inherited. A setting called enable coupon auto drop, switched ON on December 10, switched OFF on July 7, the same day a reporter called. Nobody builds an off switch for an accident. A second feature ran in the background every two hours, dropping a cookie on any site linked to a past Phia visit, whether you were shopping or not. Here is what that bought us. A retailer only owes a commission to whoever actually sent the customer. We stopped waiting to find out who that was. The cookie went down regardless, sometimes on top of somebody else's, so the retailer paid us for a sale we did not cause, and whoever did cause it got nothing. On December 18, Gates asked developers to confirm the auto-drop was live on every site with a coupon, so the company could be sure it was monetizing on all sales, regardless. It gets better. When a colleague warned that dropping a cookie every time a user closed a Phia pop-up would violate Chrome's own rules, a cover story was proposed instead of a fix: "the user is trying to open us and roll it back if they complain." In July, when a reporter called, the company said it had learned "within the last 24 hours" that its own code was causing the problem. I have both dates in front of me. I am not going to do the subtraction for you. Before July 7, we were bringing in roughly $80,000 a day. After, $10,000 to $28,000. An internal estimate put 51% of what we billed advertisers in June on transactions we did not actually influence. We are disputing the methodology on that number. We are not disputing the toggle. An attorney posted that this is the kind of thing that gets treated as federal wire fraud, up to 20 years. Nobody has been charged with anything. The last two men who did something like this to eBay got 5 months and 15 months, on $28 million and $5.2 million. Nobody in the actual precedent got 20 years. Nobody in this one has been charged with a single day. In February, before any of this, Gates told a podcast she wanted Phia to succeed with "no ties to my privilege or my last name." The revenue chart doesn't say whose name earned it. It just says whose name got the credit. Going forward, my job is to make sure every transaction gets attributed to the party that actually earned it. That's attribution. It was the crime. Now it's my title. The app still says Never Overpay Again. I have not found a beginning yet, only the days somebody decided not to say anything.

  @StevenSimmons Geekster? I split a table one year. Before the show vendors came around and got a lot of the first issue. Largely was a waste of my time even at inexpensive prices. Went a couple years ago (after vending) and admission seems high and vendors there were pricier than eBay.

  @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

  In the fall of 2007, a professor at Yale walked into a lecture hall twice a week, picked up chalk, and drew four columns on the board: first-price sealed bid, second-price sealed bid, English auction, Dutch auction. The course is ECON 159. The professor is Ben Polak. The recording has been sitting free on Yale Open Courses for almost two decades, and almost nobody who trades on auctions every single day has ever watched it. That's a mistake. Those four columns aren't classroom abstraction. They're literally the architecture of how your money gets taken. eBay is an ascending auction with proxy bidding, a variant of the English format. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction: you don't pay your own bid, you pay the bid of the person you just beat. Government bond sales run as Dutch descending auctions. Three platforms, three mechanisms, three different ways to extract the most out of you — and almost none of the people bidding ever ask which format they're actually standing inside. Later on the board comes Nash equilibrium: the point where nobody can do better by changing their move alone. Sounds academic until you realize every market price, every negotiated salary, every closed-tender bid is exactly that. And one rule Polak repeats every single semester like an axiom: never play a strictly dominated strategy. If an option is worse than another no matter what happens, it isn't a real choice — cross it out. Traders break this rule constantly when they average down into a losing position, because locking in the loss hurts more than doubling down does. 24 lectures. Free. Problem sets and exams included. The whole thing fits in about thirty pages of equations. There's nothing left to pay for — Yale already gave it away. The only real cost is sitting through 24 hours of game theory before you open a terminal or place a bid, not after.

  @dkmitc Isn't there a new foldable screen phone coming out? Also you can either change the battery or pay someone to change the battery. My iPhone succession: 4, 5, 7, 14, 17. The seven was almost unable before I upgraded to the 14. I only upgraded to the 17 because it literally didn’t cost me anything. batteries are so easy to replace you. Just buy the little tool kit and get them off eBay and he needs probably about a half hour 45 minutes, if you are slow.

  @burgerbread1 My store has been open and month didn't start focusing on it until until 2 week ago. I've been selling on eBay for about 6 months I probably have sold over 80 pool cues buy now I think. I also write the sale listing for a major pool cue manufacturer website. They are starting to go live but its a slow process. You can tell which ones i wrote because they make sense. not bad consideringI only bought a pool table less than a year ago after taking 37 years off. I documented the pool table purchase and refurbishment its in my Highlights. I already redid the table a second time had changed to cloth to blue though
