  @lizzkelly7 That used to and might still happen a lot on ebay, people trying to sell their cocktail dress and prom dresses etc. Someone buys it, wears it and then returns it and claims it didn’t fit. Some were returned complete with wine stains, food stains etc. It was a very big problem and ebay always tended to side with the buyer. I don’t know if it’s still the same.

  @mikeyst1328 @CardPurchaser I think your hypothesis is correct. Appears to be others on eBay that have the same numbering. Topps will either 1. Say nothing or 2. Claim that is how it is supposed to be and they did not make an error.

  My youngest used his allowance to research then order these. He woke up at 5 am to see if they arrived. Delivery delayed … he is despondent. Waits another day… wakes us up at 5 to go check. Still not there. Devastated. Finally they arrive and he rips open the box to learn he misread the description and there is just one tiny figurine, not 12. $15 wasted on one little Lego person. He crashes out. The Mom in me wanted to fix it for him but I know he needs to figure this out and learn this lesson. We’ve all bought stuff that didn’t meet expectations and wasted money. Dad on the other hand is much nicer and finds Lego people sold by the pound on EBay and the kid has a big surprise coming in a couple weeks. 🫠

  @DomCardboard Thanks my guy! 🙌🏼 Found the Harvick for $13 on eBay and was hard to turn that down…there really isn’t a huge market for nascar so there are some great finds out there!

  Ethan | Wax Cache (@wax_cache) reported 11 minutes ago

  Hands down, the best way to build software is to actually use it. I’ve never sold cards at a show. I’ve never really called myself a dealer. I sell low-end cards on eBay, have a few decent cards, but nothing I’d normally call “showcase ready.” But this weekend, I get to bring Wax Cache to a big card show. So I’m wearing both hats: developer and dealer. I’ve been prepping the app, building out the demo, figuring out what cards go in the case, how I want the table to feel, and what the experience should be when someone walks up. And honestly? Using Wax Cache like a dealer already exposed a few areas that need to be better. That’s the whole point. Build it. Use it. Break it. Improve it. This weekend isn’t just a demo. It’s real-world testing in the exact environment I built this for!

  @KirkCousinsFan8 @CardPurchaser @eBay Terrible smfh . About every 2-3 days for years now I see a nice card ruined or potentially at least compromised by these ebay sleeves . YEARS . How is this still not solved ?

  @DrHoenderkamp @NorwichMatt I own things which you would assume means I'm not working class. Ever heard of charity shops, ebay, vinted? I haven't bought anything 'new' since the 80s apart from shoes & underwear. Same for furniture EVERYTHING in my house is second-hand, apart from mattresses & 1 shower.

  @EverydayResell eBay's new feedback system benefits sellers. If you 1) shipped on time, 2)delivered on time, 3)buyer doesn't report problems, 4) buyer hasn't already left feedback...eBay system automatically leaves a positive feedback for the seller 7 days after confirmed delivery.

  A 16-year-old made $94,000 last month from a Google Maps tab and a voice that isn't his. The voice belongs to a 38-year-old man. The 38-year-old man doesn't exist. Pause at 0:32. The screen recording opens on what looks like a normal bedroom. Posters on the wall. A bunk bed in the corner. An Xbox controller next to a half-empty Gatorade. Standard high school sophomore setup. The active window is Google Maps. He's panning across Tampa. Then Charlotte. Then Indianapolis. Then Salt Lake City. Four tabs, four cities, each filtered for plumbers, dentists, HVAC, auto repair, and roofers. His spreadsheet has 847 active leads in it. Next to the laptop is a second monitor showing a soundboard. ElevenLabs in the browser. A noise-cancelling mic on a boom arm. A headset hanging off a textbook. The soundboard has six labeled tabs across the top - INTRO, OBJECTION_HANDLING, PRICE, CLOSE, FOLLOWUP, VOICEMAIL. Each one plays in a different voice. Same voice across all six. Deep. Mid-Atlantic. Slight Midwest tilt. Sounds like a guy in his late 30s who's been doing B2B sales for 15 years. The voice is "David Reyes." David Reyes is listed as the founder of a web design studio called Northwind Local on a Lovable-built site that takes 0.4 seconds to load. David doesn't exist. His face is a Higgsfield generation. His LinkedIn has 1,847 connections and three "About Me" paragraphs Claude wrote. His phone number routes to a Twilio line that forwards to the 16-year-old's iPad. When a business owner calls back, the kid types responses into Claude, and ElevenLabs streams the audio in David's voice through the line in roughly 1.2 seconds. The conversation feels live. Because it is. The workflow that gets him to $94K runs in three layers. Layer 1: Lead generation. He filters Google Maps for businesses ranked #6 through #25 in their category - slightly lower than the original 18-year-old's filter (he says ranks #4-15 are now "over-mined" by other operators). He runs the filter across 4 cities simultaneously. 200 leads per week minimum. He pulls each business's website, runs it through a Claude-powered audit script that scores it on mobile responsiveness, load time, lead-capture form quality, and recency of design (anything pre-2020 gets flagged). The script outputs a one-line diagnosis per lead. "Site loads in 7.2s on mobile, no booking widget, copyright says 2019." That line becomes the cold-call opener. Layer 2: Outbound calling. He doesn't make the calls himself. He runs the calls in batches through a custom dialer that opens 15 simultaneous lines using rotating Twilio numbers registered to the local area code of each city. When a business owner picks up, the dialer routes the call to him. He types the script. David speaks it. The opening line is always the same. "Hi, this is David Reyes from Northwind Local. I noticed your site takes about 7 seconds to load on phones and you're missing a booking widget - costing you roughly 40% of your inbound leads. I built a faster version of your site this morning. Can I text you the preview link to look at?" 47% of the business owners say yes. He texts them the Lovable preview, which the audit script auto-built the same morning. The preview is genuinely fast. Genuinely mobile-first. Genuinely better. The conversion isn't a trick - the deliverable is real. Layer 3: Closing. David quotes $2,400 to deploy plus $200/month for hosting and updates. The kid says he tested $1,800 in the first month (the 18-year-old's price) and closing rates barely moved when he bumped it to $2,400. So he kept the higher number. Average call duration: 4 minutes 18 seconds. Average time from cold call to Stripe deposit: 11 hours. His close rate on calls is 18%. The industry standard for cold B2B phone outreach is under 1%. Someone in the replies asked why owners don't realize they're talking to a kid. The answer is that they're not — they're talking to a 38-year-old man with a Mid-Atlantic accent who answers every objection in under 1.5 seconds. The 1.5-second lag from his typing to ElevenLabs output is roughly identical to a real person's processing pause. It feels human because the cadence is human. His Stripe progression: June $11,200. July $34,800. August $61,400. September $78,000. October $94,200. Total revenue since June: $279,600. His monthly stack cost: $1,840 - ElevenLabs Pro ($330), Twilio credits ($740), Claude API ($340), Lovable Pro ($30), Higgsfield ($100), the audit script's compute, miscellaneous. Margin: 98%. Recurring hosting revenue from past clients: 312 active accounts at $200/month. That's $62,400/month in pure passive income, independent of new sales. By his 18th birthday, the recurring alone will outpace his cold-call revenue. Someone tried to replicate the stack. Built the audit script. Cloned a voice. Made 200 calls. Closed two clients. He posted a teardown asking what was missing. The kid responded: "You used your own voice and your own face. The whole point isn't the script - it's that the person they're talking to has to sound like someone who's been doing this for 15 years. Your real voice is the problem. Build David first." The 4-city geography wasn't an accident either. He picked Tampa, Charlotte, Indianapolis, and Salt Lake City specifically because they're mid-tier metros with strong local search traffic, no aggressive digital agencies, and area codes that don't trigger spam filters when called from Twilio numbers. He runs the calling block from 4pm to 6:30pm on weekdays (after school, before dinner) and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays. His mom thinks he's selling Pokémon cards on eBay. Someone DM'd asking if he ever feels weird about the impersonation. He responded: "David's a better salesman than I'd ever be. He doesn't have an accent that gets ignored. He doesn't have to prove himself. He just closes." Last week he closed 41 sites. The week before, 38. The week before that, 35. He's 16. He's been doing this for 5 months. He's on track to clear $1.4M by his 17th birthday. Somewhere, a 42-year-old marketing agency owner in Tampa with three full-time SDRs and a $14,000/month payroll is wondering why his cold-call pipeline died this quarter. Why every plumber in his city tells him "we already got a website from Northwind." He isn't competing with agencies. He isn't competing with freelancers. He's competing with a 16-year-old who doesn't have to talk. Heads up on the invented details - flag any to keep or swap: Numbers: $94,200 last month, $279,600 since June, 847 active leads, 200 leads/we

  . @natsturner can you not counter offers using app? Seems like an easy setup and fix unless it part of the eBay psa agreement. Am I the only one or am I missing the ui? Card for sale. Genuine offer comes in from eBay user (not the auto offer). No ability to counter?? Just accept or decline??

  @itsendeavour @artchivists @Jamiebower We cannot even get access to eBay without a vpn. Also many people have trouble paying directly to purchase this items, especially students. So if you’re not rude maybe you’re just dumb. Apparently you are ignorant to the world you don’t know but so eagerly lecturing others. Sad

  @TheShireOfYork Missed this reply, apologies I was buying from Ebay and I did wonder were they fake, so for the past 6 months or so I've bought from Halfords in person and Hopkins Cycles online. I have two bikes with SRAM chains fitted that probably have 1k miles on them now without any issues - yet The chain that broke yesterday was fitted to the bike when I bought it, I think it was a KMC with those diagonal stripes ...

  So if someone suddenly gets interested in the franchise, they don't have to, for example, find a working 3ds that's averaging about $300 on eBay, and then buy a physical version of the game because the 3ds eshop is down (assuming they don't want to hack it their 3ds)

  Hi @Payoneer_Help I am locked out of my account because the phone number registered on my account is no longer active. Your help articles say I can update my phone number from my account settings, but I cannot access my account because login verification codes are only sent to the old phone number. I have already opened support requests and was told to wait 2 business days, but I still have not received any assistance. I have an incoming eBay payment and urgently need access to my account.

  @Marioucche @eBay @Halo You wasted alot of time. Even if they’re taken down, it’s allowed within 30 days of release. They’ll just go back up. Should’ve spent that time writing to Xbox and complaining why they didn’t manufacture enough units to meet demand for one of the biggest IP in gaming history
