  @JonBbC_TechGeek It seems like a lot of these edge cases just come down to the car not retaining context, I’m sure the car saw the rock as it was coming in. Good luck on the repair though! Hit my side view mirror once trying to back into my garage and it was not easy finding spare parts to match on eBay 😭

  Do you actually understand what's happening. While everyone is arguing about API pricing, this guy soldered his own AI server together, plugged it into the wall, and turned it into a $22,000/month retainer. Not a rack. Not a rented GPU. A custom loop, a used EPYC, two H100s off eBay, and a case he cut himself. Boots in 40 seconds. Runs six models. Answers to nobody. He spent three days building the first agent. An accounts-payable bot that reads inbound invoices, matches them to POs, flags mismatches, drafts the approval email, and closes the loop in the client's ERP. Zero SaaS in the stack. All local, all his. Then he recorded a 90-second Loom. Sent it to one CFO he'd met once. She signed the same week. The second one came from her introduction. The third from LinkedIn. The fourth just asked. 7 clients. Each paying $2,750/month. Each replacing a $18,000-a-month back office line item. They don't cancel. Cancelling costs them $15,000 the next morning. $22,000 a month. Built on a box in his garage. Owned outright. Zero recurring cost except the electric bill. Everyone else is still refreshing the OpenAI pricing page.

  @aleczanderjk @CardPurchaser If they sent you back a different card than the one listed, on the return you can select that there is a issue with the return. Also file a report on the buyer. Once you are done with all that contact ebay customer support, request a phone call, let them know the issue.

  @eBay_UK #ebay How pathetic are the ebay systems? A simple cancellation and they want me to pay for a label not utilised!! Their AI bot is completely stupid as it cannot understand the most simple issue! Their human help is not much better. What can one post in an envelope I ask?

  I’m putting these thoughts down in the middle of the potential eBay bid because I do think Chewy has a role to play. Maybe it’s soon, maybe it’s a year from now, but I do think chewy is integral in helping blow up the basket. The Teddy books emphasized it way too hard.

  @idealideas The easiest wealth explosion is if 3 or 4 investors bought the rest of $IEP silently with no filing. 3 investors with 4.9% wouldn't have to file anything and there would be zero way for short sellers to ever fully close out. They would have to do it slow and buy in during post dividend price dips, but they could totally gobble up the rest. Then keep acquiring until someone notices and it is too late. Then use squeezed shares as collateral for loans to buy eBay if you still wish. You would still own over 100%, and wouldn't sell any shares as you us them to buy more stuff.

  A 24-year-old former Deliveroo courier in Belgrade paid $180 in eBay parts last month and built the whole rig inside a Nike shoebox on his kitchen table. ASRock B450. Ryzen 5. 32GB DDR4. One used RTX 3060. Nothing new except the thermal paste. He runs three client accounts now. 18 automations. Menu translation for two Balkan cafés opening in Vienna. Reply-drafting for a small immigration law firm. Voice-note transcription for a real-estate agent working the Serbian diaspora market. The stack used to cost $412/month across ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, and a translator's retainer. The shoebox costs $8.50/month in electricity. He didn't hire anyone. He didn't buy a domain. He just plugged the box into a static IP and let the agents pick up the invoices. The delivery app that used to schedule him at 4 AM keeps sending him "boost bonus" push notifications. He forwards them to an inbox rule that drafts polite Serbian thank-you notes before the cafés down the street open.

  There are people who take advantage of eBay’s 14 day return policy when it comes to #TCG /sports cards stuff. It’s profitable to just buy raw cards, digitally grade them, and return the cards that don’t grade well, and send in the best ones for grading. But it’s ****** up, as requires the seller to have to go to the post office the first time AND they have to pay the return shipping. eBay doesn’t give sellers the option of returns. It is the same issue I had when selling crypto mining rigs, even with $50k of sales, eBay always sided with the buyers(Bitcoin mining rigs are expensive right? Not when you just buy a $2.5k rig then return it after 14 days of overclocking it with third party firmware that overheats it till the heat syncs just fall of the hashboards. Though more unscrupulous scammers would litterally just rip out our working like new hashboards and replace them with broken spare parts before returning them. One person even listed our hash boards he ripped out of his unit before the refund request was granted. eBay granted them the refund and let them keep the stolen hashboards listed. At what point does eBay become legally liable for knowingly facilitating the sales of stolen goods? The answer to that is never, as we used macro photos, videos of packing, and stickers to show tampering and marked the hashboards with sharpie and photographed that to prove it was stolen, eBay knew the buyer stole our hashboards and let them sell them and let them get their refund and made us pay the return shipping- and sure enough, it came back with all broken hashboards, and eBay did not care). I’ve been researching the TCG space, as it fascinates me as a store of value. Satoshi is a Japanese name, and TCG (TCG = trading card games, specifically pokemon) was huge in Japan prior to US. Before Bitcoin, high value TCG cards could be used as a storage and transfer of money. Can stack of Pokemon cards worth $100k in a backpack and walk through security at an airport, but for some reason it’s problem if you bring $100k cash. Just saying, while I’m still all in crypto, I kinda appreciate TCG cards as being even more anonymous store of value than bitcoin. Pokemon has a longer track record of value growth than bitcoin, as it existed well before bitcoin. So while a smaller total market cap (billions not trillions), it’s sorta become a safer long term investment than most, as many products especially sealed products and first gen cards have outpaced both gold and the stock market overall. The Pokemon crowd thinks it’s a bubble, because they want to believe it is because they just like collecting cards and want to be able to afford the ones they want, but they sound exactly like people in 2015-2017 calling bitcoin a bubble. Imo take just one billionaire or 9 fig investor to double the market cap by buying up the floor(including the lower grade vintage ones and the less rare vintage ones, pop control isn’t the way to go to grow a market, buying up the floor is. Was only 10 million of the Pokemon English first edition cards printed, while today there’s 2 billion cards printed per year. There’s 21 million bitcoins. If the Pokemon crowd knew what was good for them, they’d start making that comparison to Bitcoin and argue that all first edition cards should have a floor of at least $1k(which is way way more realistic than the $100 XRP people. If every first edition card printed(even the ones torn and stuff) surpassed $100 each, it’d add less than $10b to the market cap. Seeing how collective crypto market caps added $10b of value many times in just an hour, it’s not even unrealistic.). Though the Pokemon crowd doesn’t promote it that way(they should, would be easy af for all them with a binder of mid condition first gen cards to get rich lol, they’re allergic to money though unfortunately). Anyways got off topic from the eBay issue. eBay really needs to fix that, they should make a device for sellers to scan cards and just stop allowing returns

  @Get_BIG_Cards @eBay Fingers crossed. Luckily most of the cards that are sliding out aren't damaged although it looks terrible. If you have a tempering situation like me make sure to take pictures and hop on a call/chat with ebay!

  @Doctor_HooLock @Jsmith_13_ @theTSupdates I have an account on Ebay and it's not in my searches. I'm in the US so I believe my searches are limited, so it could be an overseas seller. I generally don't see listings from the UK, Italy, etc. It's possible someone in a foreign country is selling it or it was taken down.

  @idealideas Here is my hope. @ryancohen saying something like... "We see that eBay isn't willing to work with us, so we have asked Carl to help, and as a show of our partnership, gme has invested in 35m shares of IEP, and on top of that, I have personally acquired 35m shares of IEP, now let's go after eBay together." My penis would explode. I would need MOASS money to then fix my penis.

  @terrenceviz @OliverJia1014 Limited item stock, now more desirable, of an easily-damaged product that is no longer produced..? Supply goes down, demand goes up, price increases (often to hilarious degrees -- take a look at PSX and earlier prices on ebay), remaining product slows movement, income dries up.

  @CardsMax Coming out in the comments already, but the issue is that it is just straight trash business. If you sent a card like that to a buyer, for sure you're getting a negative feedback 5/10 times and eBay wouldn't reverse even if undamaged. Don't offer a service for people's money and produce **** product. Sending cards worth hundreds or thousands of dollars and it's slipping out of the sleeve. It's objectively unaccptable and at this point I'm more annoyed that eBay is basically saying, yes we provide a **** product based on every reasonable standard and metric for this industry, but **** off.
