  @frankdegods This isn't 2021. GME doesn't and has never ran parabolic on fundamentals. A real eBay takeover bid and a record-profit quarter still left it down over the past year. That kind of move needs a retail squeeze, which realistically means Roaring Kitty walking back in. And if that's the thesis, then you go ahead and buy the stock. A token welded to the ticker hands you none of the eBay upside, just fresh token risk stapled to a share you could already own directly. Everything about it conveniently routes value back to the bundle in control. "People made money" is true of every coin on the way up. That's nothing but musical chairs, and it doesn’t give the token fundamental value or make your alleged sponsored promotion any less questionable. Alas, we'll see how it ends.

  Ebay has been ordered to pay a $55.7m settlement to an American couple over a harassment campaign by company executives which included doxing, online threats and the delivery of live cockroaches to their home. The orchestrated campaign, which lasted for two months in the summer of 2019, was waged against husband and wife David and Ina Steiner by six eBay employees and one contractor. The couple were targeted after posting criticism of eBay’s corporate and policy changes on their newsletter and website EcommerceBytes, which is popular among eBay sellers, Wired reported. The campaign began with anonymous threats via Twitter DMs before ramping up to malicious deliveries to the Steiner family home. Items sent to the couple included pornography, a bloody pig mask, pests such as fly larvae, live spiders and cockroaches, a book about grieving a spouse and a funeral wreath. Ebay employees had the Steiners trailed in a rented van and posted fake classified ads on Craigslist advertising a ******* party, a ********* and a yard sale with their home address. After the police were contacted, the harassment campaign tailed off as those involved sought to conceal their actions. Former eBay CEO Devin Wenig told Wired via a representative that he was “saddened” by the harassment. He has continually asserted that he had no knowledge of the specific actions taken by the group who carried out the campaign. Wenig is alleged to have given former eBay chief communications officer Steve Wymer the order to “take her down,” in reference to Ina Steiner. However, his lawyers claim he was referring to a communications plan and not any criminal behaviour, a claim supported by court documents according to Wired. Six former eBay staff and a contractor were charged with taking part in the campaign in 2020. The Steiners followed with a civil suit the following year. The case has now reached a final settlement which will award the Steiners more than $46.15m from eBay, $2m from former CEO Devin Wenig, $500,000 from former executive Wendy Jones, and $50,000 from former executive Steve Wymer. David Steiner told Wired: “We were really adamant that this type of behaviour by a Fortune 500 corporation didn’t go unchecked.” In a published statement, eBay said that what the Steiners were subjected to was “wrong, reprehensible and should never have happened,” and that the company had strengthened its policies, controls and training since the incident.

There's no valid excuse for that, as good quality cable adaptors exist, and if your hardware is broken, you can easily get a new (second hand) one at eBay or any marketplace.

  @cplangfo @lessin IMAX tickets are already being resold for $300 on eBay. Dynamic pricing would only change who captures the markup; it would not fix the rush, allocation, or arbitrage. For scarce, perishable assets, the continuous market design itself is broken. We’re working on a different one.

  HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has successfully recovered over £104.3 million in unpaid taxes from landlords in the 2025/26 tax year alone by utilizing targeted "nudge letters". Data obtained by accountancy firm Price Bailey reveals that this marks the third consecutive year that receipts from these prompts have exceeded £100 million, nearly tripling the £36.8 million collected in 2019/20. What Are Nudge Letters? Informal Prompts: Officially called "One-to-Many" letters, these are behavioral science-backed notifications rather than formal tax audits. Pre-emptive Warnings: They alert targeted groups that HMRC has spotted data discrepancies, urging recipients to review and voluntarily correct their tax filings. Cost-Effective Compliance: They shift the administrative burden upstream, forcing taxpayers to check their own records instead of tying up tax officers in complex investigations. Core Targets of the Crackdown: HMRC cross-references data using its sophisticated "Connect" AI system alongside global financial data networks. The primary focal areas include: Landlords: Over 11,511 voluntary disclosures were made via the Let Property Campaign in 2025/26 using Land Registry matching. Crypto Investors: More than 65,000 nudge letters were issued to cryptocurrency traders after HMRC cross-checked transactions from digital asset exchanges. Online Marketplace Sellers: People selling high volumes on platforms like eBay, Vinted, Etsy, and Airbnb are closely monitored. Offshore Wealth Assets: UK residents flagged in international data leaks, such as the Pandora Papers, are heavily targeted. Common Mistakes Being Uncovered: Many disclosures come from "accidental landlords" or hobbyists who genuinely did not realize they owed tax. Frequent errors include: Confusing property repairs (deductible) with capital improvements (non-deductible). Misunderstanding the restriction on mortgage interest deductions, which was replaced by a 20% tax credit. Falling over the taxable thresholds for casual side-hustles and online storefronts.

  Asked Carson Hocevar over the weekend about his First Win diecast making it to prototype. It's exciting, but he might have a hard time getting one for himself. "I don't know if you've noticed, it's really difficult to get my diecasts right now. I don't even - It's difficult for me to get them. ... My Mom will get one before me. She hunts them down on eBay and people charge the hell out of her because she'll just buy it." Carson mentioned seeing the Race Win diecast is almost like seeing the car get rolled back out again, particularly given that his real life Talladega winning car has been re-assembled and re-ran.

  So since you don’t seem to understand the beef here @LsTdiecast I’ll lay it out. You killed Kstate, and by being a hypocrite which makes it considerably worse. You can deny it but the screenshots don’t lie. The timing doesn’t lie. You narc’d on them for “scalping” when they were selling for UNDER recently sold eBay prices, and in fact we’re refunding people who WERENT scalping. So they were doing more to combat scalping than your whining like a ***** on here does. But even if they WERENT, it’s ok for you and your “buddy” to justify prices by “recently sold” on eBay. While you criticize and encourage people to harass anybody else selling at a price YOU don’t agree with even if it’s in line with recently sold. That’s hypocrisy. Literally hypocrisy to a T. It’s ok for you and your buddies to sell off recently sold prices but nobody else? And on that same note, you telling people on here to harass eBay sellers is out of line and chickenshit. You try to bully people into selling THEIR stuff for the price YOU wanna pay. That’s not how it works. You don’t get to dictate what somebody sells THEIR item for by trying to force them. Even worse when you do it in the faggoty way of trying to have others do it because you’re a *****. You sure as hell are whining and crying like a **** now with me coming at you..you don’t like it huh? What about all those eBay users you’ve campaigned to harass? No fun when it comes back huh, *******? Thirdly, you always come on here telling everybody to preorder so stuff hits MOQ….then why didn’t YOU preorder? More hypocrisy. Telling people to do **** YOU won’t even do. You’re just mad people are t giving you **** for free. Don’t forget about when you tried to get me to give you **** for free. You’re just not willing to pay. If somebody else is willing to pay more, they get it. That’s how free markets work. Just because you’re a spoiled little ***** doesn’t mean the world owes you anything. You want it, ante up or shut ******** up. The guy who’s willing to pay more obviously wants it more than you then. Your problem Is you THINK you’re some BSD that can bully people into giving you **** for what you want it for but the way you’ve been crying from the light pushback I’ve given you, you’re clearly a giant *****. Cry more about “being uncomfortable”, ******, when you’ve harassed multiple others.

  What Is Printify and How Can You Make Money From It? E-commerce has become one of the most popular ways to build an online business, especially with the growth of the print-on-demand model. This business model allows people to sell customized clothing and other products without owning printing equipment or storing inventory. Printify is one of the best-known platforms in this industry. It helps designers and online store owners turn their ideas into physical products that are printed and shipped only after a customer places an order. What Is Printify? Printify is a print-on-demand platform. Under this model, a product is manufactured only when someone purchases it, instead of being produced in large quantities and stored in advance. The platform offers more than 1,300 customizable products, including T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, bags, stickers, phone cases, posters, and many other items. After choosing a product, the seller can upload a design, position it on the item, and preview how the final product will look before publishing it for sale. Printify is not a marketplace that buys designs from creators. It is also not a single printing factory. Instead, it connects sellers with a network of printing providers located in different countries. Sellers can compare providers according to product prices, location, customer ratings, production time, and shipping options. What Does the Seller Do, and What Does Printify Do? The responsibilities are divided between the seller and Printify. The seller is responsible for: Creating the design. Choosing the product. Setting the retail price. Preparing product images and descriptions. Publishing the product in an online store. Marketing the product. Attracting customers. Managing customer questions and store policies. Printify and its printing providers are responsible for: Printing the design on the product. Packaging the order. Shipping it directly to the customer. Providing tracking information when available. This means that the seller does not need to purchase printing equipment, rent a warehouse, package products, or visit a shipping company. How Do You Start Using Printify? The process begins by creating an account on Printify and selecting a product from its catalog, such as a T-shirt, mug, or bag. The seller then uploads a design and places it in the appropriate printing area using Printify’s design tool. Printify can be connected to several e-commerce platforms, including: Etsy Shopify WooCommerce Wix eBay BigCommerce Squarespace Amazon US TikTok Shop US Once the online store is connected, the seller can publish the product and choose its selling price. When a customer purchases the item, the order is sent to Printify. Printify then forwards it to the selected printing provider, which produces and ships the product. How Can You Make Money With Printify? You do not earn money simply by uploading a design to Printify. Profit is generated only when a customer buys the product from your store. The basic profit formula is: Net profit = Selling price − Product and printing cost − Shipping cost − Marketplace and payment fees − Advertising, taxes, and other expenses For example, imagine that you sell a T-shirt for $25. Product and printing cost: $10 Shipping cost: $5 Marketplace and payment fees: $3 Your estimated profit would be: $25 − $10 − $5 − $3 = $7 This is only an example. Actual costs depend on the product, printing provider, customer’s country, shipping method, selling platform, and advertising expenses. How Does Payment Work? In most store integrations, the customer pays through your online store or marketplace. Printify then charges your bank card or Printify balance for the production and shipping costs before sending the order to the printing provider. The money paid by the customer is usually not transferred directly from the selling platform to Printify. Therefore, the seller needs to have enough money available to cover production costs while waiting for marketplace payouts. This is important because a sudden increase in sales may require temporary working capital to process all orders. Can You Use Artificial Intelligence to Create Designs? Yes, artificial intelligence can be used to create designs for T-shirts and other products. Printify also provides an AI image-generation tool that allows users to create images by entering a written description of the desired design. Designs created with AI may generally be used commercially, provided that the user follows the policies of the AI tool and does not violate intellectual-property rights. When using an external AI platform, the seller should review its terms and confirm that commercial use is permitted. However, generating an image with AI does not automatically make it suitable for sale. The seller should still: Check the image for mistakes. Improve the design when necessary. Remove unwanted details. Make sure the resolution is suitable for printing. Choose colors that work well on the selected product. Ensure that the design is original and visually attractive. The Best Ways to Increase Your Chances of Making a Profit One of the most effective strategies is to target a specific group of customers instead of creating general designs for everyone. For example, sellers can create products for: People working in a certain profession. Fans of a particular hobby. Pet owners. Travelers. Teachers or healthcare workers. People celebrating birthdays or special occasions. Customers interested in motivational or humorous messages. After choosing a target audience, the seller should research similar products to understand popular styles, pricing, and the keywords customers use when searching. The purpose of competitor research is not to copy other sellers. It is to understand customer needs and develop an original product that provides something different. Choosing the right printing provider is also important. A provider with good ratings, reasonable prices, reliable quality, and a location close to the target market may offer faster and cheaper shipping. It is also recommended to order a sample before launching a product. A sample allows the seller to inspect the fabric, printing quality, colors, sizing, and packaging. Samples are normally not free, but testing the product can help prevent customer complaints and larger financial losses later. Professional product images are also essential. Sellers should use attractive mockups, write clear titles, explain the product materials and sizes, and provide accurate care instructions. After publishing the product, marketing becomes a major part of the business. Products can be promoted through social media, paid advertising, search optimization, content marketing, and influencer partnerships. Is Printify Free? Printify offers a free plan that allows users to create products and operate connected stores without paying a monthly subscription fee to Printify. However, the seller still pays for production and shipping whenever an order is placed. The seller may also need to pay fees charged by the marketplace, payment provider, advertising platform, or website service. Printify also offers a Premium plan with product discounts and additional features. It may be useful for stores that already receive regular orders. Beginners can usually start with the free plan and upgrade later when the savings from product discounts become greater than the subscription cost. Risks and Mistakes to Avoid One of the biggest mistakes is using copyrighted or trademarked material without permission. Sellers should not use: Company logos. Sports-team logos. Movie or television characters. Video-game characters. Celebrity photographs. Famous brand names. Artwork copied from another seller. Protected slogans or song lyrics. Designs that closely imitate existing trademarks. A design may still violate intellectual-property rights even when it was generated by artificial intelligence. For example, asking an AI tool to create a well-known cartoon character or a design in the style of a protected brand does not automatically make the result legal to sell. Sellers must own the content they upload or have the legal right to use it commercially. Other common mistakes include: Choosing the cheapest printing provider without checking quality. Selling without ordering a sample. Ignoring marketplace and payment fees. Setting prices too low. Failing to calculate advertising costs. Using poor-quality images. Providing unclear size information. Expecting Printify to find customers automatically. Because print-on-demand products are created specifically for each order, returns and exchanges may also be limited. Printify does not generally provide returns simply because a customer selected the wrong size, chose the wrong color, or changed their mind. However, damaged products, printing errors, and manufacturing problems may qualify for a replacement or refund when they are reported within the required period and supported with clear photographs. Is Profit From Printify Guaranteed? No, profit is not guaranteed. Printify handles product fulfillment, but it does not guarantee that customers will purchase your products. Success depends on several factors, including: Design quality. Product selection. Market demand. Pricing. Marketing. Search visibility. Shipping speed. Customer service. Competition. Cost management. The first design may not generate any sales. Sellers often need to test different ideas, study customer behavior, improve product listings, and replace designs that do not perform well. It is usually better to begin with a small collection of high-quality products instead of uploading hundreds of random designs. The seller can then expand the store based on products that receive views, clicks, favorites, or actual sales. Conclusion Printify is a useful platform for starting a customized-product business without purchasing inventory or owning printing equipment. The seller creates the design, publishes the product, determines the price, and markets it. Printify and its printing partners handle manufacturing, packaging, and shipping. Both handmade and AI-assisted designs can be used, provided that the seller has the legal right to use them and does not violate trademarks or copyrights. Profit is not generated simply by uploading a design. It is created when the seller reaches the right audience and sells the product at a price that covers production, shipping, marketplace fees, advertising costs, and other expenses while leaving a reasonable profit margin. Printify is therefore not a guaranteed or instant way to become wealthy. However, it can be a practical tool for building a real online business when combined with original designs, careful market research, effective marketing, and proper cost management.

  Since money twitter is back, it’s time to tell my story I started my online business journey at 15 as some of you know - only because I wanted to make money but legally wasn’t old enough to get a part time job in Canada Bought my first SMMA course for $700 and targeted realtors - eventually failed this After that I moved on to reselling fake designer clothes on eBay (lol) - made about $2-3k then my store got shut down Then I landed on a content agency for chiropractors - this one I actually had some success with and things were going well Then c*vid shut it all down, my clients didn’t need content anymore and they all fired me The first few months of c*vid was rough. I spent 10 hours a day playing video games, wasn’t focused on school or business and was pretty lazy Eventually my brother snapped me out of it and told me I was wasting my time. He was running some ecom stores at the time and was doing pretty well That’s when I decided to launch my next venture - an Email Marketing agency for ecom brands I went from gaming for 10 hours a day to outreaching to brands for 10 hours a day - sent 1,000s of personalized messages until I got my first $1k/month retainer after 3 weeks of grinding 4 months later I hit my first $10k month, a few months after that I hit a $30k month Then I did the dumbest thing possible - got caught up in the crypto hype and took almost all of my focus away from Email Marketing to chase memecoins A few months later I had lost a LOT of the money I had made, and my Email Marketing agency was back down to $4k/month since I hadn’t been focusing on my clients That was when I made a decision - I’m going all-in on Email Marketing Nothing else was going to distract me and I was going to become the best in the game at it I started putting 10 hour days back into my agency and it paid off big time In 2023 we were onboarding 10-15 brands per month, and more than that we were delivering great results for them too Around this time we hit 90 team members at Nest Marketing (now at about 60, leaner team but producing even better results) That same year I went on my first Umrah - helped me realize that there’s a lot more to life than just money and flexing In 2024 I trusted some wrong people. Good reminder to never share good news with people who don’t have the best intentions It wasn’t all bad though - I got engaged in 2024 then got married in 2025 to my wife. It came with a lot of responsibility and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me and made me mature a lot 2026 was the year of travelling (with intention) - went to Hong Kong, China, snowboarding trips, networking events - met a lot of people more successful than me who have inspired me and helped me to push forward Now Nest Marketing has a team of 60, we’ve worked with 250 brands and have generated $300 million in email/sms sales for our partners Super proud of what we’ve been able to achieve, and continue to work towards All this came from a 15 year old who wanted to make an extra $1-2k/month so I could go to the mall and get food with friends So grateful for everything. Alhamdullilah
