  I ended up ordering a used Fujifilm Finepix XP10 from eBay (since I mostly plan to use it outdoors) just to test out first and then I'll work to investing in something else down the line

  @ALTPEPEEEEEEE I’m same way. Probably purchased 500 cards on eBay so far this year. I may have a problem.

  @zaummalik Having the same problem. Ordered the Cinegogue shirt on 6/27. 10 emails later and 4 dates moved, last email they said it would be shipped week of 8/10. The shirts are going for triple on eBay already.

  @Xbox_SUPERFAN People are reporting listings and they are being taken down. One instance of ebay listings is not an accurate determination on whether the item wasn’t botted. I’m sure several people are waiting to list theres and follow ebay guidelines to avoid being delisted.

  @kieran717 I don't know, as much as I like to be skeptical of corporations, I don't think they even care about the second-hand market. On PC we never had a real second-hand market because retailers wouldn't buy PC Games to re-sell. Some would, and of course there was eBay in the early 00s and private sellers, but it wasn't like the used console games market. The market just moved digital because of the convenience and stores like Steam emerging. You can tell physical sales have been trending down by looking at the store shelves over the last 15 years. In Best Buy you'd have entire rows of games for each major console platform. Now, at the Best Buys I've been to, Nintendo has the most space with 2 4-foot sections and PlayStation and XBOX being mostly accessories and game cards with a small display of games. I remember EA trying their nonsense of "paid online passes" in the early 2010s to try and get money off the second-hand market, but I don't recall XBOX or PlayStation doing anything like that. And technically they'd still be able to get additional micro-transaction purchases on a lot of those used titles so that's even more potential revenue off of a game that's stale in terms of new sales.

  At 13, Vitalii Dodonov's father gave him a choice: pocket money, or a job packing parachutes at his drop zone. He took the job. It came with summers together. He is now CTO of Stan, which does about $30M a year with 30 people and takes 0% of what creators sell. Four things I learned from him at FounderHouse today. 1. At 17, studying in Canada meant roughly $100,000 in debt. He built an Excel sheet: salaries, living costs, repayment timelines, ten years out. The math said Canada. 2. He told his father he didn't speak English. His father said that was his problem. 3. He was not trained as a software engineer. He studied chemical engineering and computer process control, worked at Deloitte and eBay, then taught himself to build. 4. Late 2022, at roughly $1M ARR, he and John Hu deleted the transaction fee. Competitors were taking 10 to 20% of creator sales. Stan went to a flat subscription and creators kept the upside. Revenue grew 8.5x the following year. Today: $600M+ in creator earnings, 85,000 active creators. Outside capital: one $5M seed from Forerunner. Traditional advertising: none. He also still builds in public. He spent two weeks posting an AI agent on LinkedIn while he was building it. That agent became Stanley. It shipped in 14 days. Most technical leaders I know publish less as they get more senior. He does the opposite. When was the last time you published something before you had it figured out? Stanley is live. Try it yourself 👇

  Why is it impossible to actually TALK to someone if you're having problems with payments as a seller? AI is no help at all. Going round in circles Poor customer service @eBay

  @ALTPEPEEEEEEE I completely understand your logic and reasoning. And have personally dealt with issues on overseas sales as a seller. In the end I feel eBay should allow an in person sales option. If you can afford 400k you can def afford economy to pick it up.

  Cool beanz.. the seller (on eBay) sent me an offer I simply couldn’t refuse. I love these @PelicanProducts Vault V100’s for smaller (yet very expensive) things that you absolutely have to protect from the “elements. Especially a green one to differentiate between my bino’s and “other” items. I make a slit in the top piece of foam & stick a brand new 2nd Gen #Airtag in EVERY ONE I buy so if I misplace them or they get stolen.. I can track it down in a few clicks. I also buy the 20gram silica packs & stick two to three (4x in my ACSS scope box) to keep whatever’s inside nice & dry despite the Houston humidity. #ta

  @WBumsratte @XBOX You should be mad. This launch was absolutely terrible, and Xbox should be ashamed to have let this happen. Literally no loyal Xbox fans got a console. It all went to scalpers, with maybe a few normal people getting one. There are already so many listed on eBay.

  @ThrillaRilla369 They died by 2010 for the most part. One I used to go to growing up still remains extremely popular with a steady 95%+ occupancy. Rental costs and poorly accepted businesses is what killed them. Coupled with the fact that that was by design, to discourage kids from hanging out at malls. They slowly put in more doctors office type businesses. Too many stores that were basically the same things, and businesses that appealed to older people who didn't go to malls anyway because of the younger people. They visited the anchors and that wasn't keeping the malls alive. They got rid of the stores that the younger people enjoyed first. Then it was all down hill. Also..and probably most importantly, store front rental costs went through the roof along with the other obvious factor, it became extremely cheap to buy the same things online through places like eBay and Amazon. Malls should and could easily make a comeback now though. They just need to offer experiences, places the younger AND older generations want to shop, and not have repeating themed stores.. oh one other thing...the other all I went to growing up was plagued by hoakey kiosk businesses that most of the time were run by total scammers . Selling cellphone cases and t shirts and pictures type stuff. And there was a lot of them. It was obnoxious.

  @0xBakeer Assuming the issue is latency rather than throughout, this is exactly where optane would come in handy. If you can pick up an old optane drive on eBay and stick your embeddings on that, it'll cut that 6% down to maybe 1%

  My responsibilities at work: Be an expert in liquid and solid product baggers, sauce dosers, volumetric fillers, ink jet printers, scales that drop product, tray sealers, conveyors, X-ray metal detectors, band sealers, meat slicers, vacuum sealers, compressors, steam boilers and kettles, and other various equipment. Be able to fix them on the fly in production being stared at by 30 people who are probably saying “this ******* doesn’t know what he’s doing”. Prevent downtime and increase efficiency at all costs. Be efficient and somewhat knowledgeable in plumbing, electrical, pneumatics, hysteresis, hydraulics, refrigeration, forklifts, the way steam acts under different circumstances, welding, fabrication. Train every machine operator and take responsibility for any failure of any equipment on site period, whether it’s my fault or not. Deal with all our distributors on parts, our manufacturers on proprietary parts and equipment, figure out how to go around them and avoid paying the ridiculous prices of OEM by using eBay, local machine shops and manufacturers of gaskets, springs, etc… What all the office people call me and think of me as… “Maintenance guy, he’s just the help.” Yet little do they know, I make twice as much money as any of them with their manager titles and masters degrees. My title on my company business cards “The Mechanic”. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

  @Rattlehead73x You can still wait stuff and it can be sold if it doesn't get caught which is why reporting them helps eBay find them. Kind of like if you upload a movie to Twitter or YouTube people can watch it for a time until it gets taken down.

  @CardPurchaser It's not @CheckOutMyCards. (COMC). They used to be the BEST on ebay. Now their volume has eclipsed their service ability. Slow ship times, no top loaders anymore, insane shipping costs, and zero response on issues. Used to love them, but will never buy from them again.

  Just like to say I'm not enjoying AI at all How about You?? Ever since businesses started using AI, my life has become hell. I cannot buy anything at a decent price online. AI will either say my non-standard address is an illegitimate address or it doesn't exist, and it sways many, many good deals away from me where they refuse to ship to my non-standard address, thinking it's incorrect, and I end up not being able to buy on eBay 90% of the time. I can get three out of 10 packages delivered if I'm lucky; it's very discouraging, and I miss out on 90% of all the good deals. Not just on eBay, it's on Amazon, on Walmart, on all e-commerce stores because they're all having problems with this damn AI mingling in our addresses and making non-standard addresses illegitimate addresses, and it's hell for the poor, especially the elderly poor who have a hard time communicating I wish AI would get bumped, nuked, or destroyed. I'm an old-school computer tech from the '90s still managing, maintaining, servicing, and repairing my computers and devices. I use several Linux distros, which I find a lot more convenient, useful, and trustworthy than any Microsoft product or version of Microsoft Windows with all of the updates and manipulation to control the people's systems. It has destroyed my faith in Microsoft, and just when it looked like life was becoming something worth living and a technical world turning into something useful and enjoyable, they would have to drag AI, the real monster, into our lives, and today it's a living hell, and I wish somebody could hear my words. AI has a way of making sure nobody ever hears our voices anymore or hears me. I've noticed time and time again it's got control of people, and nobody's paying attention to what AI is really doing to people who don't have the abilities to properly articulate or communicate—people who are not so healthy physically and/or mentally or not schooled much don't spell or type very well, like me. Even though I am pretty tech-savvy, I'm nearly 70 years old and struggling these days now more than ever before. If there were ever a time I would be tempted to leave this world, if I didn't worry about where I would spend eternity, it would be easy, and I cringe at getting older or staying alive in this world the way it is now or what it's becoming to me and other human beings; it's a real nightmare that many who are like me are living in today.

  Seems like an easy update fix for @eBay to automatically not allow cards that have autos to be submitted for direct grading to @PSAcard from the sale. Simply after the authentication takes place they should then send card back knowing it won't be graded for autos if thats case.

  @Radios4Freedom @Nissan Yes. They told Ebay I was fraudulently selling an item (a used part from a 20 year old Infiniti), which not only removed the listing, but penalized my account. I'm not the only one. Nissan burned many bridges, and they'll never recover the enthusiasts who left, who were the only ones defending Nissan against criticism. I just went through a long Grok thing about it, because I had it examine my post for fun, but Nissan is in more trouble than it looks like they are. They're climbing the hill, but there's no bridge at the top to the next one, and nobody's going to step up to catch them when they tip over the next side.

  @broncocharlie They’ve already dropped the price. I’d see if they can do $300. Id list it for $1599 on eBay with offers open. The T5 is really nice! If you pick it up, I can tell you how to ship with UPS. Make sure to test it out and that the rubber bands aren’t cracked/broken.
