  @Hellaorganics Don't have that problem here in Japan but yea that's a big part of why I try to avoid selling on eBay which is mostly U.S. buyers. And worse than issues like that, just so many blatant scammers who lie about what they received, try to ship back a different worthless card, etc

  @LDBirdywatcher Facts. Problem is a lot of the ebay cost is shipping and the shipping would make it not worthwhile. Though I find plenty of cheap books locally

  I still have a libertarian devil on my shoulder whispering in my ear “don’t support anti-market policies” but, when it comes to consumption, I think we’re spent as a civilization. My son’s birthday is this week and every present we bought him was vintage; toys from the 90s movies he loves + an old leap pad off of eBay. Nothing made in the last 20 years. Not a drop of that spending contributed to increasing GDP. Every young person’s apartment is filled with cardboard furniture. Nobody has oak dinner tables or bookshelves inherited from their grandparents anymore. Everything is cheap and flimsy. Every couch and chair is from ikea. The first couch my wife and I had in our apartment from Target didn’t even have cushions; just plastic air bubbles wrapped in fabric. Consumption has to slow down so that our quality of life can increase. We need fewer, better, longer lasting commodities. It’s not like we’re at the bottom of the slide; things will continue to get cheaper, and worse. The only way to stop it is to shock the markets with tariffs and growing American manufacturing (of everything) at alarming rates. We will soon reach a time where being pro-global markets will be in stark contrast with being pro-human dignity, and pro-civilization. I’m close to saying we’re already there.

  @EternalEnglish In related news - I'm dealing with an issue of foreign origin on eBay - A Lithuanian living in Scotland sold me some headphones, there's a problem with them and he probably knew about it, now trying to manipulate the eBay rules to deny me the return - Had to call eBay last night.

  @IncognitoTCG99 @totodile_king I had the same issue with the seller. I had to spam their other socials in the comments to get any help. They didnt bother replying to me till after I called ebay to complain.

  Friday’s Reseller Tip 🚨 Today’s tip is something a lot of people overlook when sourcing replenishable items… and it causes them to pass on profitable deals. These Thermacell mosquito repellents were $6.72 each on Amazon. They sell on eBay for around $15 each. At first glance the math looks terrible, so most people would skip it and move on. But here’s what they miss: When I checked sold comps, Thermacell products were flying — over 1,200 recent sales. It’s a fast mover. And people usually buy more than one. So instead of passing on this lead, I bought 8 units (they had a 4-per-account limit) and listed them in lots of 4. Here’s the real math on a 4-pack: • Sold: $54.94 • Cost: $26.88 • Shipping: $6.95 • Fees: $7.13 Profit: $11.90 Next time you’re looking at a replenishable item that seems like a pass, ask yourself two questions: 1. Do people buy multiples of this? 2. Can I bundle it to make the numbers work? Sometimes bundling is the difference between leaving money on the table and locking in solid profit. Hope these daily tips have been helpful. If today’s tip helped you look at deals differently, drop a like and retweet so more hustlers see it.

  @emilkyun I’ve always assumed it’s import fees or something but I’ve gotten cheap aesop merch from china through eBay… so it’s probably a reseller issue. Scalpers gonna scalp

  @RobsRips Straight up eBay policy violation. I’ve had to slow people down on some of their comms because it’s. It social media. It’s meant only to discuss the item of interest.

  @SaxonEternal @MHackman Google — Sergey Brin immigrated from the USSR; Google employs thousands of Americans. Tesla — Elon Musk immigrated from South Africa; Tesla employs Americans in engineering, manufacturing, sales, and more. Nvidia — Jensen Huang immigrated from Taiwan; Nvidia employs tens of thousands of Americans. Stripe — Founded by Irish immigrants; employs Americans in engineering, sales, finance, and operations. DoorDash — Tony Xu immigrated from China; employs Americans and supports U.S. restaurants and workers. Chobani — Hamdi Ulukaya immigrated from Turkey; employs Americans in manufacturing, logistics, sales, and corporate roles. Zoom — Eric Yuan immigrated from China; employs Americans in technology, sales, support, and other roles. eBay — Pierre Omidyar was born to Iranian parents and immigrated to the U.S.; eBay created U.S. jobs and supports American businesses. * Citing Grok (founded by former OPT student) for helping me with this list. Not only are big companies like these founded and/or run by immigrants (all of whom were once international students), but the very products and innovation within them have been the result of international talent — all of which leading to the employment of white Americans. Nobody is saying that the OPT program is perfect, but I fully believe the benefits far outweigh the negatives. Again, I don’t know what industries you’ve been looking at, but big tech exemplifies why the OPT is beneficial to everyone in the US. I can’t speak to other, smaller industries like consulting, so it’s possible there might be questionable stuff going on there — but our argument relates to the $100K fee on OPT workers. I think the root cause of international talent reliance in the workforce is the fact we let go of our standards. The problem starts in households and upbringing. If American households and lower education held our students (myself included) to the same academic standards and rigor as much of Asia, there’d be much less outsourcing. My point is that slapping a $100K fee on OPT employees isn’t at all the proper way of going about fixing the aforementioned root cause, nor is upending the program. The issues start at home and in schools.

  @OldJimZimmer Daybreak Games owned the Star Wars Galexies MMO until their licensing ran out with Lucas back on 2011. There was an emulator of it that would make 10-30k/mo for a few years after the fact. It could easily be relaunched now. I played Stargate Worlds MMO beta, but that ended up getting cancelled during production. With legalized RMT through ebay and AI, youll see these types of games come back, because they typically cost like $30-$100milly to create. Curt Schilling tried to make one, but funding was a major major issue. Plus he is iliterate, so it didnt quite work out. Golden Age of MMOs will come back, god willing.

  @Milajoy The lawyer did say that she needed to dress down and that I shouldn't come in. We looked too nice. I'm barely scraping by in my Goodwill & eBay outfits. He said that we look like we'll be able to "find it" (the money). Like, we probably knew someone that had it. They live DWIs.

  @aceofcards89 @RobsRips They gave their customers the option to move their consignments to their booth instead of eBay. Definitely not a great error to make, but of all the people in this hobby, I'd trust Josh & Zach at PC with my life. If something happened, they'd go above & beyond to make it right.

  Well that’s never a good feeling. Won this box from Dcsports87 auction house on eBay and it’s resealed 1. Immediately noticed all of the packs were upside down 2. The four packs I opened basically just opened themselves (no glue) 3. Under closer inspection some of the packs were just straight up open. Hoping for a quick resolution here.

  I have serious trust issues and that’s exactly why I can’t send a random vendor money on instagram to purchase an item. If it’s not Amazon, EBay, AliExpress, SHEIN etc, I’m not sending my hard earned money to anyone.

  Dickieb (@Dickiebt1) reported 38 minutes ago

  @AliExpress_EN You have declined my refund ...it is absolutely outrageous. Your email said the item has value - it does NOT - it is lots of pieces of broken glass. Amazon and eBay can do customer service so I think AliExpress should learn how to do it too!

  @eBay @depop Unfair Case Resolution / Potential Delivery Issues 24-14901-43188 ​I purchased an item on eBay that shows as "delivered" on the carrier tracking,but I never received it. I opened a claim and appealed the decision, but my case was closed automatically without a real investigation

  Valkyrie Honeybadger (@HoneybadgerNo1) reported 41 minutes ago

  @foxenflask @eBay @depop Their AI sucks AND their authenticity accuracy has much room for improvement. I am waiting for eBay to fix this. I was told to open an "item not as described" case with the seller. I did and the seller has not responded. This should be a no brainer under their "authenticity guarantee" program: eBay says the item I bought from eBay is not authentic and there fore eBay should immediately offer the refund under their own authenticity policy. I had to listen to five people at eBay twist themselves into a pretzel trying to avoid addressing this and taking the proper action under eBay's own authenticity program and policies. Should eBay not fix this issue, I will dispute this off my credit card as "eBay not following eBay own authenticity policies"

  Hey @eBay, put the search bar back at the top. This is clunky and weird. Why mess with something that isn’t broken or needing of change? The suggestions it put at the top when I’m trying to search were also unhinged.

  @RealVeryMary You really don’t need to buy the insurance, anytime my husband purchases something that arrives broken or defective Ebay reimburses him if the seller doesn’t do good on it. You just have to open a case. Usually the seller will do right

  Valkyrie Honeybadger (@HoneybadgerNo1) reported 50 minutes ago

  @Greg96730551 @eBay @depop Authenticity requires a deep knowledge of brand knowledge at the local level (Game Stop Stores). With as many brands out there that require authentication in the luxury brand space, it would be a challenge from accuracy and the amount of time spent. Given that credit card companies now recognize a few online authentication companies (Legit app being one of them), these companies could be used as a seamless integration in listings for sellers to have their items authenticated during the listing process and the cost integrated into the price of the item. I have proposed this idea a few times to eBay as more accurate, time saving and defend-able to credit card companies for authenticity. eBay could reduce or eliminate for off site authentication overhead costs (reduction of personnel, elimination of shipping costs etc), but it has been ignored. Sellers listing luxury brand items face difficulty and anxiety when listing these items. I obtain certificates of authenticity from Legit App on everything I list for sale prior to listing the item. However, eBay refuses to recognize reputable "3rd party authentication" recognized by credit card companies at all. Warranty issues could be handled by eBay themselves offering a warranty for the items for a small fee to the buyer or even the seller. They could turn a traditionally high friction and costly issue into a value added profit center and keep everyone happy.
