  @spacepixel My issue is PSA and eBay have yet to join in and I suspect their product and reach will be extremely difficult to compete with

  @HankBobbyDale @JCSCollects I agree they can be annoying to look at, but my point was only that eBay has many more prominent issues to concern it self with first. This is simply a minor annoyance, no?

  @40kWorldview I can’t justify the money personally even though I COULD afford it. Priorities. What I do it hunt on eBay for good deals (any) and resell them (fix if needed) and use that money to buy ones I actually want. I’ve accumulated a decent collection for probably close to 0$

  @AltonHibbert @JCSCollects But at least sealed products are vetted. These random ebay ppl are not. They might even own the card they claim to be running a raffle for. Thats the issue.

  @MichaelTLoPiano I think we are in a very interesting time right now if GameStop is doing what I THINK they are doing. Using mechanical downward pressure from Ebay arb traders to help keep the price down while they buy and essentially have $32 call options (warrants) that they can collect if/when price gets there. If they end up erasing ~90M shares, I can't imagine it NOT.

  @GlugsMackenzie @bigsnugga How many ******* filters do you need. If this man puts this **** on eBay brand new for $120 it will sell. I don’t know why you’re mad at me about this lol. I don’t even listen to them. How other people spend their money is not my problem.

  The Net Profit question often appears in my DMs and comments when I post about buying and selling. Is there easy, passive income profit when buying products from auctions to resale? Nope. But here's how I made $557,127 profit from doing a ton of research about a product line I knew nothing about. Let's start with why I wanted to try this experiment. I’m a tech guy who builds tech companies. As you know from my previous posts, I always try to impress my awesome wife. But when I had 56,347 iPhones and iPads in my warehouse, the women in my life were not impressed. Then, I brought home a box of designer handbags that I came across, and the women in my life lost their minds. There was something here. I could feel it. I had just sold TechRestore and wanted to build a company with zero employees, using social commerce and building it just with my phone. I love starting over at 0. So, I began researching to be sure these handbags could be a good business. First, you swim upstream. I bought handbags from all the major players on social commerce sites like Poshmark and eBay. I wanted to see how their packaging looked, how their sales funnel functioned, and how they handled returns. All of these: not very good. I know how to do these 3 things very well. Just with computer parts, not handbags. How different could it be? Opportunity? Yes. I then needed suppliers. I have a great database of suppliers that find me very credible. Why? Because I am consistent, I pay on time and never complain about small problems. It took me 11 months to strike gold. After 149 calls and 348 emails (I track this stuff), one supplier referred me to another (probably just to shut me up), and I found my source. During these 11 months, I had been “warming up” my accounts on social commerce platforms. Learning how Poshmark worked, meeting the managers of the eBay handbag channel. Anything I could do to build credibility. About a year into it, I knew how to build followers on these marketplaces, how the shipping worked, how customer service functioned, and how to talk to primarily female customers buying handbags. I started selling. Like a rocket ship, the combination of a good supplier, great customer service, and business practices took off, and I started to get attention. So much attention that the CEO of Poshmark invited me to visit their headquarters. Uh oh! I am pretty sure they thought I was a woman. With my name and the fact that I wanted to make my female customers feel comfortable, I only posted pictures of me with my wife – I’m sure they were surprised when a dude with a beard showed up at their office. After a laugh, I got a tour and met with the CEO for a Q&A session. Super amazing. This post is getting long, so let’s fast forward: I sold over 7000 handbags on Poshmark and other social commerce marketplaces—$ 3.7M in revenue and $557,127 in profit. 83% of the handbags I sold, I bought from auctions. I did a bunch of consulting for Poshmark, and they loved me so much that I got access to their IPO. I still don’t know anything about fashion. However, I know how to find the delta between buying and selling and how to implement systems that work. I had so much fun and learned so much that I wrote a book about it. Poshmark Unlocked has sold thousands of copies, and I learned how to start a publishing business. Can anyone do this? Absolutely. It takes time, a willingness to spend hours doing research, experimenting and access to some capital. If you want to learn more about unconventional methods of building businesses and wealth, give me a follow @ShannonJean - I promise that it will be interesting and fun!

  Want to really change your life? Here’s what I did I accepted responsibility for my results. Not the economy. Not eBay. Not Facebook Marketplace. Not the auction company. Not bad luck. Me. When sales were slow, I looked in the mirror. When inventory wasn’t moving, I looked in the mirror. When I wasn’t making enough money, I looked in the mirror. It was the best lesson I’ve ever learned.

  He spent $400 on 12 broken phones and turned them into a machine that prints money while he sleeps. not a metaphor. a literal shelf of cracked Pixel 2s earning him cash 24/7. here is the whole build. he buys dead Android phones in bulk off eBay. cracked screens, trashed batteries, dead speakers. the more broken, the cheaper. $350 for twelve. $50 more for chargers and a hub. that is the entire startup cost. then he loads each one with apps that pay you to do nothing. apps that pay you to swipe up when an ad plays on the lock screen. apps that pay you just to sit there collecting data in the background. apps that pay you to run games passively. every phone gets its own Google account. its own phone number for verification, rented for a dollar. then they just run. on a shelf. all day, every day. 36 cents a day per phone. twelve phones. $129 a month from a pile of e-waste he plugged into a wall. the farm pays for itself in four months. everything after that is pure profit, and he just keeps stacking phones. people are out here trading 8 hours a day for a paycheck while one guy built a system that earns whether he is awake or not. that is the whole shift happening right now. the people winning are not working harder. they are wiring up systems that run without them. that is exactly the kind of build people are tearing apart inside @NeuroClubAi. not watching demos. learning to actually wire the machine and let it run. stop trading your hours for money. start building the thing that earns while you sleep.

  Deeply disappointed in @eBay and @PayPal for their handling of an issue with a Seller on eBay. Allowing the sale of fraudulent products and expecting buyer (me) to return the knock-off product to China at my expense - when the SELLER used photos of licensed product.

  @whypickname @foursyYT Lego has no problem forcing people who sell legit goods on eBay or Amazon to pull down their listings or risk being sued yet they say nothing about a retail org they clearly sell to who thinks it's ok not to reimburse an old man for a legit consignment.

  @GFreiNews 600 EUR easily buys a very solid starter kit to produce proper coffee if one is willing to learn to use an espresso machine and is handy in basic maintainance themselves. La Pavoni Professional 300-400,- on eBay Mazzer Super Jolly Dosato 150-250,- on eBay You need to factor in a full seal service kit for the La Pavoni depending on condition (~30 EUR). The coffee you will be making will easily rival any espresso based coffee you will be able to purchase in 98% of Cafés in your German city, even if you use regular 15 EUR/kg super market grade beans. Once you know how to use this gear properly, you want to look into upgrading the grinder to one with an electronic doser and down the road the espresso machine to an E61 group based machine with the features you value or just stick with the old fully manual lever machine.

  @blackcatscards It’s not a public marketplace if two people are discussing price negotiation Really the card show/stack sale convention would be to extend it to the person negotiating with them having right of first refusal It isn’t crystalline, because the tech sucks (FL and WN definitely, I think eBay live too) to where payment can still be processed. Best thing you can do is arbitrate as if tech weren’t an issue, and that’d be to extend to intended buyer first

  @Yawaru @Be_like_legend Hey thanks that’s really useful to know! My main problem with eBay is executive dysfunction and AuHD. Sometime I just can’t complete tasks because I’m confused about what order they go in. I’ve sent stuff out late because I’ve lost it in my messy house I can’t keep organised.

  @_bismack_ I switched to card savers a year ago and won't turn back. No a single postage due issue with hundreds of cards. Only issue is the random missing card, and that is just whatever at this point. Make the change. People won't care. State your shipping policy in the eBay listing.

  I never thought I’d write this. After five long years, I have liquidated my entire $GME position. Not because I stopped believing in what this community once stood for. Not because the early thesis didn’t expose real problems. Not because the movement didn’t matter. It did. For a while, it felt like we were part of something bigger than a stock. It felt like regular people found each other in the middle of a rigged game and decided to stand together. There was hope. There was fire. There was conviction. But five years is a long time to keep waiting for a tomorrow that never comes. @TheRoaringKitty isn’t coming back to save this. @RyanCohen isn’t buying @eBay. There is no grand reveal. No secret countdown. No hidden master plan that magically fixes everything. At some point, belief becomes exhaustion. Conviction becomes identity. A community that once felt powerful starts to feel toxic, defensive, and trapped inside its own mythology. I held longer than I probably should have. I ignored doubts. I defended the company. I defended the silence. I defended the possibility that maybe, somehow, there was still something coming. But I can’t keep pretending. This feels less like a revolution now and more like another Bed Bath & Beyond situation. A story where people kept finding reasons to believe right up until the end. I hope I’m wrong. I really do. I hope everyone still holding gets the outcome they deserve. I hope something happens that proves all of this doubt was premature. I hope the people who gave years of their lives, money, energy, and emotion to this company are rewarded. But for me, this chapter is over. Rest in peace to the version of $GME we all thought we were investing in. It was beautiful once. Maybe that’s what made it so hard to let go.

  @BourbonInvestm2 It's not even AI. It's simple IF/ELSE and OR/OR logic. It's used in all programming languages. He did a video a while back about an eBay "search secret" known only to the eBay employees. When searching for something, put a minus sign in front of words you want to filter out.

  A successful store on eBay and Amazon used to look like this: one person searches for a niche, a second writes listings, a third handles SEO, a fourth responds to customers, and a fifth looks at the numbers and decides what to scale. Now it's one person and one tool. Claude doesn't just "help with text" - it covers each of these roles entirely. You insert a prompt and get a ready-made competitor analysis, an SEO-optimized listing, a human response to a negative review, or an analysis of what to kill and what to scale next week. A team of one. No hiring. No delegation. No loss of control. I've broken down the entire process step by step, with real prompts you can copy right now 👇

  The founder of Twitch built his first startup without talking to a single user. It sold on eBay. That's not the exit you want. Here's the lesson that changed everything: Who you talk to matters more than what you ask. When Twitch pivoted into gaming, they did something they'd never done before. They went and talked to users. Not to validate a feature. Not to show a product. Just to understand who was out there and what their lives actually looked like. And the first thing they discovered was this: Talking to viewers gave them one set of feedback. Talking to broadcasters gave them something completely different. Broadcasters determined where viewers went. Follow the broadcaster and the audience follows. That single insight shaped three years of product decisions. They would have missed it entirely if they'd talked to the wrong group. The three groups you should always be talking to: Your own users. Your competitor's users. And non users. Most founders only talk to the first group. That's a trap. Your own users are already tolerating your problems. The fact that they use your product despite its flaws means those flaws probably aren't the most important things to fix. Your competitor's users are more valuable. They know the space. They've tried multiple options. They have real opinions. Converting them is easier than creating new behavior from scratch. But the most important group ? Non users. The people who haven't tried anything yet. They tell you what's blocking the market from growing. What's so broken they won't even try. What would have to change for them to care at all. At Twitch, non users said things like: my computer isn't fast enough. I don't want competitors seeing my tournament strategy. I'd rather edit and upload to YouTube. None of those were feature requests. All of them became product decisions. Twitch bought people computers. Built streaming directly into Xbox and PlayStation 4. None of that came from talking to existing users. All of it came from understanding why people weren't users yet. The question every founder needs to answer before anything else: Before you think about what to build. Before you write a single line of code. Ask yourself: Who are the five types of people I need to talk to ? Not who's easiest to reach. Not who's already on your forum. Who actually has the problem and whose behavior, if you understood it completely, would tell you exactly what to build ? That question changes everything. Everything else comes after.

  @trigeminy_henry And sadly I work the department that takes calls or chats on this very subject Monday through Friday. It’s a shame and happens frequently, but because our metrics 90% of sales go through without issue eBay just deems it as the price of doing business. They’ll terminate accounts with valid proof within the site, though. Might be a case here at least. We’ll find out!
