Mike Boysen (JTBD/acc) (@mikeboysen) reportedMost people never see the inversion coming. They see the crash. The coup. The empty bank account. The factory that will not ship. Then they analogize: more staff, more robots, more of last year’s stack. Innovators do the opposite. They stay in the problem until the cost curve breaks. PayPal ousted Musk in 2000 for pushing a rebrand and a Unix-to-Windows NT migration. He did not wage a public war. He stayed a shareholder. eBay paid $1.5 billion in 2002. His ~11.7% stake — about $180 million — funded SpaceX and Tesla. By late 2008 both companies were days from death. Three Falcon 1 failures. Tesla about to miss payroll. One last rocket. Flight 4 worked on September 28. NASA signed $1.6 billion in December. He put his remaining cash into a $20 million Tesla bridge that closed Christmas Eve. Analogical thinking said “stop.” Physics said “one more launch.” Reusable first stages. Manual labor where the robots jammed. 5,000 Model 3s a week after he ripped out the over-automated line and slept on the floor. 75% of Twitter’s headcount gone so the cost of running the network inverted. That is not grit as a slogan. That is inverting labor, capital, and infrastructure until unit economics work. Follow people who have innovated at least once. Not the ones narrating the next analog. I built a platform to help average people think like that before you commit the capital. More on that soon. This is 100% a real interview LOL

maeve (@lizziedossss) reported@TheShazamPow i actually looked this up the other day. its technically a grey area but it is blacklisted from ebay. so yes its a problem if you sell it but apparently owning it is fine?

alex bud (@alex_budimir) reportedAnyone else notice how much better listing has gotten? I hadn’t listed cards on eBay in a while because of the fees and how long it took. Used to be 3–5 minutes per card. Listed a few Laz and Rainiel cards today and the AI had me down to about a minute each. @CardPurchaser

A.P.O.C (@AOchiawuto) reported@AirtelNigeria @lydiacreatesng Airtel Nigeria, why is your service so poor? I’ve tried registering on eBay, but the verification code never arrives on my Airtel line. Yet, the same code comes through immediately on MTN. What’s wrong with Airtel? Is Nigeria cursed? Please fix your SMS service!

GamerTex (@GamerTex) reportedAdam Gray on YT was talking about fake patches today going back to 2007. According to Upper Deck they have staff on hand now that saw it happen in 2001!! Personally I think the current UD story is BS as this is the 3rd time they have changed the story on this card but they did say it recently. The latest UD version is someone pulled one of the first Kobe Patch cards and immediately swapped it into this card and they have someone on staff that remembers them doing it in 2001 ish. In 1999 UD told me about this specific card and another patch card when I asked them what the future of patch card looked like. They instead told me about the best and worst Patches they had seen so far while they were testing. I ran a cron job from my GameJersey server to search ebay and the newsgroups for these cards. A few years later I found this card on eBay from a highly rated seller that sold boxes and cases and, at the time, a rather large Kobe collection. I inquired and they said it was a gift from UD to someone who had passed. Around 2012 I had to call UDA about the first 1 of 1 Game Jersey card ever made because it didnt show up with their online verification and has a phone number to verify. After doing that I inquired about this card and after a few transfers I was told that my card was a fake and they were floating around the past few months. I assured them mine had providence and was in my collection for years at this point. They shrugged and said they didnt have anything further to add.

StuArt (@StuHack73) reported@TheRealBonJavi @johnshanks1 They’re worth about as much as a Jim'll Fix It badge on eBay, bin them.

Derek Huntley (@BigDerek_KU) reported@eBay fix your app. I’m tired of getting live notifications when I have them turned off. Beyond annoying!

SaThomas (@SaThomas__) reported@norm19020 @CardPurchaser @eBay Yes, counteroffers are broken.

thanh (@thanhsells) reported@SeeifIhaveit Fifteen minutes while you were taking the eBay listing down is brutal. That's the one that gets you.

Arekkusu 🐍 COMMS OPEN (@DEMONArekkusu) reportedThey seem to think they are THE Majima yume or want to come across as such, had an issue with me and my merch collecting, thinking I spend a fortune... if they only look at ebay prices, I can see how they maybe think that. lol But in the end...

auburn35 (@35auburn) reported@renoipgp That's true, I was just highlighting a new account that registered after the other eBay accounts were shutdown. Obviously very little effort from eBay to keep problem sellers off the site.

Gavin Forsyth (@Gavin4syth) reported@eBay @askebay This does not work. The options only loop with no option to resolve my issue because I cannot contact an agent by phone.

Mike Palmer (シネフィル) 🎬 (@MikePalmerYT) reportedSince July this year there are severe problems with orders from Japan and delivered from Japan Post in the European Union. I had three cases so far, and every parcel has been send back to Japan. A few days ago I ordered something very expensive of eBay.
-
Jenny Jen Jennifer VCR Queen (@vcrqueenjen) reported@FoxgirlGoRawr Yep! Overall, I've not had terrible luck with returns given the amount of things I've sold on ebay but it does happen from time to time & for some cursed reason I've had a few returns in the past couple weeks. It's abnormal to have multiple in such a short time and I don't like it lol

Card Throne (@cardthrone) reportedI run Card Throne with a handful of Grok Bots. Each one owns a job. They don't all sit in one chat answering random questions. Scout does sourcing. Japanese inventory, carts, what to buy next. Grading plays and margins off my actual fees and costs. It never checks out. I still have to say purchase. Build is engineering. It only works on Card Throne Room, our seller tool. Scan a stack of cards, list to eBay, inventory management. When it's real code, it summons a cloud agent with pstack /poteto-mode. Throne runs the storefronts. Brings me the issues that actually have to move that day. Ledger does the books. Payouts, fees, receipts, the monthly P&L. Sentry monitors for any Card Throne Room bugs and pings Build if something needs fixed. Chief sits on top so I'm not pinging six bots to find out whose job a thing is. I still make the final calls.

The Really Bad Golfer (@therlybadglfer) reported@eBay why do you allow terrible people like this on your platform? He replies to feedback with threats and stalking (when I ran a background check), brings in users family's (you have a 10 year old), deflects any blame or responsibility, and it just horrible. You should kick him off the platform.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedDay 208 Total sales: $737.96 eBay earnings: $504.99 Buy cost (COG): $82.27 Net profit: $422.72 ROI: 514% Items sold: Electrical equipment, printer ink, printer parts, automotive transmission parts, marine electronics, & a toilet repair component. Another strong day. $737 in sales & over $422 in net profit from just 7 completed sales. What stands out to me is the variety. Electrical, automotive, marine, printing, plumbing, you don't necessarily need to specialize in one category to build a profitable eBay business. You need to get good at finding the right products at the right price. That's still the biggest lesson I've learned through this journey. A $100 sale isn't nearly as exciting if you paid $90 for it. But when you can consistently find inventory for a fraction of its potential selling price, the numbers start working in your favor. Today's $82.27 in COG turned into $422.72 in profit. That's the game. Buy right. List consistently. Be patient. Keep improving. 208 days down. On to Day 209. 📦💪

dave (@davejones3334) reported@LLMJunky @stevenharms I don’t sell much on eBay but almost every tech item I’ve had scammer issues. Luckily I didn’t lose any money and they were fairly low value items in the 100-300 range. I would not trust selling a multi thousand dollar item there.

yolanda j smith-bond (@yolandajsmmqc) reported@netnanny @Rbls24 Wanted to move discussion from Twitter (X) to @LiveJournal My login from funci* is messed up, msgd Dave's wife yesterday, & McGough from DMS (bombing by Frost Bank downtown messed up the LJ platform in ~2003). I forget ____________ tried to sell it on a shell version of eBay.

Brian (@briansdsea) reported@BosCardHunter Just had an order showed delivered recently and it wasn’t a ES order. My mail that was delivered that day and another eBay package all showed delivered at 1:37 pm at box. This one showed 10:37 am. $4.99 Samad Taylor auto…..so I didn’t make a fuss or go down to post office.

Gerard Hughes ( @ghhughes.bsky.social ) (@ghhughes) reported@selStreams @austeregrim @RDKLInc You can't buy CPAPs, for example, on eBay. They are class II medical devices and their requires a doctor's prescription. Some people have tried to get around that by selling a CPAP travel bag for $300, which just so happened to have a CPAP in it. But eBay has cracked down on that, too. Not all medical devices require a prescription, though.

𖦹ဗ The Hivemind ☆𖹭 (@BendyLoneWolf) reportedI already had the first two Bendy and Boris ones from back when they were being sent out. The scary lil Christmas ones I got later down the line on eBay, and the naughty or nice one this year on Mercari.

ｃｈｅｄｄａｒ (@cheddar420yolo) reported@IndefiniteLT @VibesMBSE it was before my time but part of CARTER lore is they took a rogue wave shifting home ports from northeast to Bangor. a water column came down the hatch and the ship's computer was right there they had to get the replacement computer from ebay that was the story anyway

Andres Fernandez (@Brok3rFernandez) reported@643DoublPlay @CardPurchaser He actually is asking over $10k on eBay so I got him down to $7k

Artamos (@Artamos_) reported@MommaOcco eBay and other retailers that have 3rd party sellers need to crack down on presale/preorder listings. Should be only on hand product
-
slicko (@haribo4me) reported@GoatBeardzDD @MaiDuat31103 When company A acquires company B, doesn’t the stock price of A typically go down while B goes up? So in this case shouldn’t we expect GME to dip if they are successful at acquiring eBay?

Teddy.com (@teddy__com) reported@Bgillz7 Spoiler alert… they have lost money now. They used it to buy BTC, eBay, and treasury notes. Down $100m on BTC. Even on eBay. Up maybe $100m or so on T notes. $350m in cash out the door and an extra 7m shares. $400 in value lost on $1.4b in notes that were 0% interest.
