  @JBMcards Nice. I sniped one like a year ago. Been trying to get an Ozzie but no one on eBay will come down to a realistic price

  PCIFIC is also expanding beyond the marketplace itself with PCIFIC Safeguard, our browser extension. We are optimising for eBay first. The idea is simple: PCIFIC should help buyers and sellers wherever they already are. For buyers, the extension appears directly inside the eBay listing page. You do not need to open a clunky popup, copy a URL, or paste details into another tool. PCIFIC renders inside the eBay UI, near the buying decision. When you click Review with PCIFIC, the extension reviews the visible listing details, seller signals, reviews, condition claims, item description, returns information, and listing context. It then gives you a plain-English report. It can highlight things like: • Vague condition wording • Missing proof • Unclear accessories • Suspicious listing history patterns • Seller signal concerns • Product details that may confuse buyers • Questions worth asking before paying PCIFIC Safeguard is a decision-support tool. It surfaces patterns, explains risk signals, and helps buyers ask better questions before spending money. One example is listing history. Sometimes a listing can show a large number of sales, which creates trust. But if the listing was previously used for a cheaper item and later changed into an expensive device, that sold count may not mean what the buyer thinks it means. PCIFIC Safeguard looks for patterns like that and explains them clearly. The extension also gives buyers a score, a simple status such as Looks safe or Check first, and a copyable message they can send to the seller. For sellers, the extension works inside the eBay listing flow. When you are creating a listing, PCIFIC can show fee guidance directly in the UI, so you understand what eBay may take before you publish. It also adds a Review with PCIFIC button for sellers. This reviews your draft listing from a buyer’s point of view. It checks whether your title, description, condition notes, price, and trust signals make sense. For example, if your title says the item is in good condition but your description suggests heavy wear, PCIFIC can flag that. If buyers may want battery health, warranty information, proof of reset, accessory details, or clearer photos, PCIFIC can point that out before the listing goes live. The extension also saves review states between sessions. So if you reviewed a listing two days ago and come back to it later, PCIFIC remembers that. You do not need to regenerate the same review again. This matters because marketplace buying is not always instant. People compare listings, leave tabs open, come back later, message sellers, and sleep on decisions. PCIFIC Safeguard is built around how people actually shop. The bigger vision is not only eBay and not only tech. Tech is the first category because it has obvious trust problems: IMEI checks, serial numbers, battery health, device locks, specs, repairs, warranties, and hidden condition issues. But the same idea can apply to watches, trading cards, collectables, fashion, cars, and other categories where buyers need help understanding risk and trust. PCIFIC started as a UK tech marketplace. But the bigger mission is becoming clearer: PCIFIC helps people make safer, clearer marketplace decisions before money changes hands. And with tools like findr, buildr, PCIFIC Checkup, and PCIFIC Safeguard, we are not just trying to make another marketplace. We are building the tools that marketplaces should have had already. Our philosophy is simple: wherever friction exists, we look for a way to reduce it. If AI is the right tool, we use AI. If a simple button, QR code, manual review, form, verification flow, or buyer checklist solves the problem better, we use that instead. The point is not to make everything automated. The point is to make buying and selling feel easier, safer, and clearer for normal people.

  @AskeBay @ebay I need help with a serious issue. A refunded order was later delivered with the same tracking number, but it contained a completely different item. The automated assistant cannot resolve this. Could you please advise how I can contact a human agent by message

  So I made some questionable purchases. Don't sleep on ex-biz refurbs/2nd hands. Worth reading if you think PC hardware is expensive. Mini pc server going from Intel 6th gen 4c4t 12gb ddr4, 256gb to a 6p8e cpu, 16gb ddr5, 512gb from Q1 2025 for £390 (sic!). Imma trade in the stick and max it out to 64gb ram, 2nd hand oem sodimm. I plan on running 3ish Claw-likes on it, a windows VM, a local ERP system and databases (I sorta started working for my mate's software company - I'll tailscale it out to him so we can run coding agents and ****, have the Claws run the company admin, another Claw for my freelancing and another one for PA purposes) I also got tired of my old but trusty Thinkpad x13 8gb ram (soldered) 6c12t 256gb (it's trying, bless it, but it overheats and the hoops I need to go through for Chromium to behave. side note, also post-biz 2nd hand I got for like £220) to a... T14gen1 4c8t, 48gb ram (WTF), 1tb ssd (WTF) for £570 (WTAF). Yeah it's old. But it comes from an ebay seller that sells loads of thinkpad components. They probably know what they're doing. This one is a crossgrade, as the CPU is worse, but it's my BS machine for youtube/browser/ssh - I know what I need from it. Obvs, 1tb is gonna land in the server. Again, there are millions of unwanted post-deprecation PCs that all have very random decent specs. What they do not do is run any GPU workloads (AI or gaming) so nobody wants them. I swore to myself my current big desktop is gonna be my last one (5800x3d, 32gb ddr4 3600 ram, 1tb ssd, rtx5070, great mobo, fancy PSU, noctua fans, the full shebang). It just makes no sense. Just get a somewhat decent 2nd hand office PC, upgrade the ram, get an oculink card or smthg, and trade it in for a newer model every year or two. It will cost you, as you see, £390ish, they will buy it back for probably £200+, unless prices spike up even more, and you never really risk it breaking down (5 year warranty and these PCs have been used on office tasks, 40 hrs a week, which is probably less than us nerds run ours, same goes for the laptop, it was probably used very casually). You absolutely do not need the top of the line hardware, a mac mini or any other crap that people are telling you to buy. Obvs there are use cases when this isn't going to work - local AI, compiling heavy stuff (unless you wanna wait), gaming... And I understand for some this is still a lot of money. But compare it to the "I need an Apple computer" mentality and suddenly it's fish & chips money. And yes, you bet I will be trading in my current gear to fund the max-out-RAM upgrades, it will just about cover getting 64gb ddr5 sodimms. Anyway, just yapping. Hope this helps someone. You can absolutely get the job done on the budget, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

  @brandon1luv @SnapBlastPLAY @Fraser789 I know Sony made prices different per country, but I looked at those games on the US playstation store and I was able to find an equal or cheaper deal on Amazon or Ebay for almost all of those games that were already marked down, w/ a few exceptions.

  @YankeeLibrarian @RAKcity27 A lot of diehard sports fans really appreciate them, especially if you are a hockey fan too. If I have the money and like them, what’s the problem with it? You can get one for around $100 or less on fanatics or eBay sometimes 😭😭

  @Tecnoguy1 @ShowMeLaTweet You're talking about ONE game you hypothetically lost access to..... vs the literal actual thousands of games you DO have access to - precisely BECAUSE of digital. These sob stores about some game from 2007 don't work on me. People need to move on, OR they can go out of their way to buy a retro console and find a sale for the game on eBay - that's a YOU problem, and shouldn't be an issue for the vast majority of consumers. I have more access to games I played as a child, like Super Mario Bros 3 or Ninja Gaiden for the NES - than I ever did when physical media was the only option.

  Hey @eBay, how much longer are the issues with creating/updating listings going to go on? It's been days now. For the fees you charge, things should get fixed so you can charge more ridiculous fees.

  Big sellers have repricing armies. Independent sellers have spreadsheets and guesswork. Built CompeteBox to fix that. AI monitors Amazon, eBay, Walmart prices and sends you a Slack alert when a price move wins the Buy Box. Stop leaving money on the table. Live soon.

  Watching competitors' prices all day is a terrible use of your time. Built PricingPilot to do it for you — an autonomous AI that crawls Amazon, eBay, and Shopify, then reprices your products the moment a margin window opens. Price floors, MAP enforcement, continuous learning.

  High Ready System (@highreadysystem) reported 52 minutes ago

  @amerpipedream I saw a comment about how a product on eBay is cheaper than on your site, but the issue with market platforms like Amazon and eBay, are the excruciating fees just so you can "tap into their vast customer base". I have a personal eBay account for selling my household goods, and I easily lose ~20% of my total sales on taxes and eBay fees alone, not including losses from shipping and packaging. There should be some understanding that depending on distributor, supplier, and volume, wholesale prices differ. And that there is a limit to how low a product can be sold for before it turns into a charity. Online netizens on Xitter love to talk about hiring domestic nationals as opposed to H1B or TFWs, but they also want to price match Amazon, eBay, and/or foreign websites. At the end of the day, what can we even do. 🤷

  @XCSme @mandla_putu @Pirat_Nation >Geekbench 6: i9-14900K (~3,000–3,100 single / ~19,500–20,500 multi) edges the Ultra 7 270K Plus in single-core while trading blows in multi; the older Ryzen 9 5900X lags notably behind both (~2,500 single / ~13,000–14,000 multi). A typical refurbished dual Xeon Gold (e.g., 2x 6148, 40 cores total) scores lower single-core (~2,000–2,300) but can reach 25,000–35,000+ multi depending on clocks and config. PassMark CPU Mark: i9-14900K leads with ~58,000–59,000, ahead of the Ultra 7 270K Plus (~50,000–55,000 range) and well above the Ryzen 9 5900X (~40,000–42,000). Dual Xeon setups often exceed 70,000–100,000+, excelling in heavily parallel server workloads. Cinebench R23: i9-14900K delivers ~2,100–2,200 single / ~38,000–41,000 multi, outperforming the Ultra 7 270K Plus and significantly beating the Ryzen 9 5900X (~1,600 single / ~22,000–25,000 multi). Dual Xeon configurations shine here with 50,000–80,000+ multi-core potential, making them the strongest for extreme raw multi-threaded tasks despite weaker single-core performance. Popular refurbished dual Xeon workstation models (LGA 3647/Cascade Lake or similar) include Dell Precision T7910/T7920/T7820, Lenovo ThinkStation P910/P920, and HP Z8 G4 equivalents — these often come with dual Xeon Gold/Platinum CPUs, high DDR4 ECC capacity, and workstation-grade build quality. Typical costs for refurbished full systems: $600–$1,500+ (depending on CPU generation, RAM, GPU, and storage); barebones or lightly configured units can start under $500 on eBay/ServerMonkey/PCSP/Dell Outlet. Motherboard + dual CPU combo pricing (refurbished): LGA 3647 dual-socket boards (Supermicro X11, ASUS, Gigabyte C621) run $150–$350; a solid dual Xeon Gold pair (e.g., 2x 20-core models) adds $100–$400, for a total combo often under $600–$800 — excellent value for massive multi-core performance.<

  @RsGimble @SkyNews You are correct. As an eBay seller, a lot of my items are sent with evri and I haven't had an issue since I started 12 months ago. Back in their early days they were fairly unreliable, from my experiences they have turned that around.
