  @tahiniok Yes it's called the AuraTone phone antenna. I you can pick one up on eBay from the manufacturer bypassing me and saving yourself some money. I don't want you to pay extra with me if money is an issue that is why it's open source. I have a post on who I go through somewhere.

  Ive had an £80 offer from ebay for the first game (pictured) down from £100, but the manual has a tear mark so that puts me off. But I might pop back into that shop and get the sequel first as its a good price if its good condition.. Tis a shame only now Im interested in these!

  @Psycho0111 It all comes down to if there is any material info out there. With everything around eBay it might be hard to get around the safe harbor laws Also, I’m not sure if the pre earnings release counts, we get the full thing next week

  @thewebbie @amazon The fluctuating delivery times I can live with; I just expect that as a result of the many variables inherent in online shopping. The packaging quality, however, is a big problem. Amazon built its sales volume on cut-rate shipping deals with USPS and UPS that other retailers couldn't match. That could hold out unless -guess what- we suffer an inflationary period driving up energy and labor costs. Now they can't afford to pay for proper boxes, packing, and skilled workers to sort & pack properly. (For anyone with an eBay side hustle you know that's actually quite a skill). So I concur that the amount of large items shipped in cheap envelopes is increasing, meaning we get more broken and missing stuff. Amazon will keep doing this until the cost of refunds and returns overwhelm the packaging savings...and I fear the end of the "free shipping" era is near.

  He built an autonomous Grok Bot named Reaper, handed it his credit card debt and told it to pay off his credit card debt for him. He gave the bot its own computer in the cloud and access to his email. Then he basically said: “This debt is your problem now. Don’t ask me for money. Just report back every night.” What Reaper actually did • canceled old subscriptions he’d forgotten • talked the credit card company into a lower interest rate • moved most of the balance to a 0% card • got a couple of charges refunded • sold his unused PlayStation and monitors on eBay • put every extra dollar it found toward the debt I spoke to him and he said he plans to work on more upgrades and refine its function He is fully onboard and will join the community to tell us about his future plans Ca;

  The photograph that disappeared for 150 years Richard Carrington was an astronomer. In 1859, he looked through a telescope and saw something nobody had recorded before. A huge flash erupted from the Sun. Less than a day later, a powerful solar storm hit Earth. Telegraph systems failed. Auroras appeared far beyond their usual range. The event became known as the Carrington Event. But there was one strange problem. Nobody knew what Carrington looked like. No photograph of him could be found. For decades, historians searched museums and archives for a missing portrait. Nothing. Then, in 2025, an archivist at the Royal Astronomical Society checked something much less obvious. eBay. She found an old photograph being sold by a shop in Pittsburgh. The seller had simply listed it as: “Photo of Mr Carrington.” It was him. On the back, faint writing gave another clue: “R C Carrington, Esquire for C V Walker, Esquire.” The photograph had been missing for about 150 years. Now it has a home in the Royal Astronomical Society archives.

  Made my first mistake on eBay tn. Listed a card (over $20) with my PWE shipping cost (I set a flat rate of 1.25 for PWE). Shipping is $6, anyway to change/fix this or am I just out the $5. No big deal if so, this is what happens when I list cards extremely tired. @CardPurchaser

  @selStreams @austeregrim @RDKLInc You can't buy CPAPs, for example, on eBay. They are class II medical devices and their requires a doctor's prescription. Some people have tried to get around that by selling a CPAP travel bag for $300, which just so happened to have a CPAP in it. But eBay has cracked down on that, too. Not all medical devices require a prescription, though.

  @hmefsww Hi, unfortunately I closed my website store down as they were charging a ridiculous amount to sell things. To keep prices reasonably I had to find an alternative and only have eBay at moment. I could do it via paypal cutting out ebay if you would like?

  @Oscvr9_ Hello! Best way to price sealed is to refer to eBay last solds for sealed - do not count any unsealed. Often I find issue with sold items under “best offer” and the listed price being the sold price. For this reason I always use 130point to get most accurate prices w/ offers.

  Not sure who needs to hear this but you can spend $100,000+ a month just using Amazon as your source of inventory. You can do this at 40%+ ROI. You can beat section 3s and account health problems. You can sell your inventory on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Whatnot, TikTok, or locally. If you’re an Amazon seller you can also get a complete P&L, cash flow analytics, ungating support, reimbursements, product monitoring, replen dashboards, FBM tracking, order tracking, and more. For free, then $3 a day. You can be as weird as me and do it all from your phone if you’d like. We are building the most complete software package publicly available. Taking no profits out. Doubling down on team and partnerships.

  It’s so easy to open your phone, hop on eBay and buy a PS2 game Any time I want to add an NES game to the collection I have to sit down and figure out what inserts came with it and which variant I want to buy and THEN dig through listings to see if there’s even a CIB listed

  🚨 SOS Card Peeps! Need some help ASAP please. 🚨 I received an offer on My Acuff 1/1 card on eBay. The guy offered me a fair price and is now negotiating with me…I’m totally fine with that, but in our chat (on eBay) the user name keeps changing…when I click on the first name at the top of the chat it seems like he is a legit seller/buyer. When the other name pops up, it says “error” Is someone trying to scam me or is this some kind of issue with eBay’s messaging?!? Thanks in advance!

  @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

  Just bought 180 tested video games across generations for about $2.50-$3 / game. The previous batch was $2/game. Sounds crazy when you can see on eBay some of these only selling for $6-8. But I also see something that made me question this. 52 minutes south of me a video game store exists that sells these games for at least $20+ The same games you’d comp on eBay for much less. Why? Because it’s hard to trust random sellers and in this niche I’ve see people want to buy from people they like, people they trust and people they vibe with. Therefore I’m buying a disc refurbishment machine and offering a “warranty” to my future customers where if a disc stops working, we’ll fix it to the best of our ability. I’m also packaging games with the consoles we test and increasing the prices and will have a branded website off of marketplace platforms. Does this take reselling to the next level? Yes. Will it be difficult for me? No. It’ll actually be quite fun and we’ll act a little bit like game informer for retro games. If it doesn’t workout? Cool. If it does? That’s a fun way to resell.

  @GoatBeardzDD @MaiDuat31103 When company A acquires company B, doesn’t the stock price of A typically go down while B goes up? So in this case shouldn’t we expect GME to dip if they are successful at acquiring eBay?
