    Six tools, ten hours a week, one human doing the job of an agent that should already exist. I built Merchwing to fix that. It watches your Amazon, Shopify, and eBay listings around the clock, rewrites for SEO, queues reorders, and reports which keywords drove your Buy Box.

    @CardsEnzo The issue is the non scans and scammers - sent over 1,000 ESE with maybe .1% defect rate but those buyers are the worst - leave negative feedback that takes eBay days to remove - false claims of not receiving the item - etc wish it had more reliability but you can’t beat the $$

    @Walrus_Moonboy He’s scanning them in bulk and bulk listing them on eBay and tcgplayer. The issue is he’s causing lots of dings and scratches as it falls. So whoever buys these will be getting something worse than what the scans are sometimes.

    @ManFirestorm I did similar a few years ago. I went from 15 long boxes down to about 4. Sold to my LCS at, I’m sure, a significant financial loss to me, if I had the time and energy to properly sell all those books (eBay, whatever). Figured my downsizing would help out their business.

    Life hack #2 to save money: Learn basic home repair. Most house appliances and units are simple things. Just a few parts. You can ask Chat for help with an issue you have. What I have seen is that parts become obsolete fast for appliances, as well as HVAC units. This is why your repair guy will opt to replace your used units instead of repairing them. But you can find whatever part you need, used, on Ebay. And very cheap. I replaced washer transmissions with used units. The main board in my HVAC unit. Etc. That board hasn't been available new for years now. If I had called an HVAC guy, the repair would have been a new HVAC unit. $5000 or more instead of the $90 I spent on that board. Start with the simple stuff. Water heater not turning on? Maybe it's just the igniter, a $15 part. Over the long run this saves you a lot of money. Invest that money. This helped me to retire early.

    @AmeraucanaLover I deal in comic books. Some comic shop owners look down on customers who buy from them with the intention of flipping it. Which is hypocritical, because every shop owner in the modern day got their start flipping books on eBay they got from local shops.

    @BreakerCulture From my experience selling on Whatnot consistently, these numbers HAVE to be a lie. It feels like a dying platform. That’s why they raised the money. eBay is burying them. Our numbers from show to show just seem to go down - especially viewers. About to jump ship to eBay Live.

You get an owner’s stake in a new platform. We get sellers who make it better. DM to claim a spot. Ai for Everyone. 🧬 @CardPurchaser #buildinpublic

    My experience w/ most large inventory engines like Amazon, Google, Pinterest, Etsy, Ebay, etc- is that they are having massive scale problems with search. Every single one of these is omitting listings w/ exact key word matches from search, while serving less relevant ones.

    I went further down the TD rabbit hole, and there is a more concrete connection than I initially realized. First, a correction: TD Securities (USA) LLC was the initial purchaser for both GME convertible offerings—the 2030s and 2032s, ultimately covering the full $4.2B—not just the 2032 notes. The same TD entity later gave GameStop the highly confident letter regarding up to $20B of eBay acquisition financing. That does not prove TD still owned the notes or arranged this exchange. “Initial purchaser” means TD placed the notes with QIBs, and the exchange filing does not identify the participating holders. So I still don’t think we can establish that roadshow investors were being rewarded with equity. But TD’s financing letter contains what I now think is the strongest connection: Its confidence in raising the $20B expressly assumed that the combined company would obtain investment-grade ratings from at least two major rating agencies. Moody’s subsequently estimated that the proposed structure would leave the combined company with approximately $31.4B of debt and gross leverage close to 9× at closing. The agreed $1.4B exchange, if completed, would cut GME’s convertible principal by one-third and reduce that pro forma debt figure to roughly $30B—without using acquisition cash. On Moody’s original EBITDA assumptions, that only moves illustrative leverage from roughly 9.1× to 8.7×. So it doesn’t solve the financing problem by itself, particularly with $2.8B of converts still remaining. But it is directionally consistent with improving the credit and ratings case after eBay specifically criticized GME’s financing uncertainty and combined-company leverage. So I would refine the thesis: This does not appear to be about the converts legally blocking an eBay acquisition, nor does it prove institutions were simply “rewarded.” It looks more plausibly like one piece of a broader recapitalization—exchange debt for common equity, preserve cash, reduce gross leverage and future cash claims, and make a very large acquisition-financing package more credible. Still not proof of eBay. TD’s letter is explicitly not a commitment, and the exchanging holders may hedge or sell. But the investment-grade-rating condition gives this move a much more concrete economic rationale than Rule 144A or September 23 alone. Credit where it’s due — @dirtevader your post pushed me much further down this rabbit hole than I originally intended.

    @WestCoast_Goodz Even then... no ****. I sent a package overnight and it turned into a week long nightmare because fedex lost it. I was just trying to save a review. I stand by my statement. Losing 5% of buyers that ask questions to knock out 50% of my problems is a fair trade. I also look at profiles with expensive orders... anything sketchy I just click "address could not be found" cancel the order and block them. Ebay has turned into scammer central. Just canceled a $700 camera order because it was going to a strip mall on an account with 1 item ordered with a very suspect name. Let ebay ban me, IDGAF

    @foxenflask @ValueAddedRS It depends on the entity that eBay acquired - for sneakers - its Sneakercon - for your scarf it should be certilago which fashion houses just like Hermes used but I would have to see the whole listing. We’re starting to see changes of where the seller or buyer is located. I recently sold a Tom Ford coat, sent it 2 day ups w/ signature insured - it went to the authenticator- they signed, verified then sent it to the buyer usps ground w/ no signature, no insurance & it was “lost” - the buyer was a good person and shared videos of his ring camera the day it was allegedly dropped off - usps didn’t deliver it & agent told me I didn’t have to worry about it, I was protected then a week later the buyer filed a charge back and eBay opened a case against me and put the funds on my account in suspension. Most sellers aren’t out to scam - the issue is usually the “house” - btw @ValueAddedRS have you heard eBay took away the ability to write your own message organically on packing slips? I always included my contact info if there’s ever any problem or interested in anything else I have or that they may be looking for… today I noticed, now I’ll just have to make a separate sheet and make it more obvious. Everything is so damn sneaky w/ them

    @BreakerCulture Both platforms are obviously growing at a crazy pace, and as an eBay seller, eBay Live would actually be my first choice. The problem is the onboarding process feels virtually impossible. It almost feels like eBay doesn’t want new sellers getting onto Live, while Whatnot seems to welcome sellers with open arms. Because of that, I’m personally leaning toward pushing into Whatnot, even though I’d prefer to build on eBay where I already have an established business. I really hope eBay figures out the onboarding side of this. If Live is truly this important to their future, being so selective and difficult to access seems like they’re giving Whatnot a competitive advantage they don’t need to give them.

    @flasprtscardhvn I’m right at a year. I have sold over 750 cards on CollX and between what my wife did before and what I’ve done so far on EBay is little over 100. But it is up and down. I’ll have really busy weeks and some nothing crazy. But I do sell at least 2-3 a week with bigger orders here and there. Coolest thing is that I enjoy doing it and feels more like part of the hobby than a job.
