  Needed IMO. Card sales over $200 now go through eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee. With the rise in trading card sales, I’d imagine it became more cost-effective for eBay to inspect cards upfront than to deal with customer service issues after the fact. Verifying everything before it reaches the buyer likely saves them time, money, and headaches in the long run.

  @cplangfo @lessin IMAX tickets are already being resold for $300 on eBay. Dynamic pricing would only change who captures the markup; it would not fix the rush, allocation, or arbitrage. For scarce, perishable assets, the continuous market design itself is broken. We’re working on a different one.

  @Jarhead3534 @WeedVet I quit selling on eBay around 2018 or so. Once shipping rates really started increasing. Between eBay fees, PayPal fees, and shipping costs, their overall cut eats well past any potential profit margin. And then there's the problem ppl, and eBay always sides with the buyer.

  @OriginalRoddick @eBay I remember when my father and I stopped using @eBay. It was in 2011 and we had gotten, not one, but two reviews and accusations of fraud for us reselling refurbished laptops we bought and rebuilt ourselves. The last one the guy sent us the laotp back but with a broken screen. Ebay did jack all, didn't remove the negative reviews after all the evidence showing they were malicious and fake reviews, and started screwing with our listing. I was not selling the laptops for profit. I made at most $10 on each one. I was rebuilding them for raw experience as I was trying to get an IT job. Thankfully I did get a job a few months later.

  Verity (@improvethenews) reported 26 minutes ago

  Narrative A says the $55.7 million settlement against eBay is a landmark win for press freedom and corporate accountability. Former CEO Devin Wenig and other executives are personally paying out of pocket, and eBay had to issue a public statement condemning their own leadership's conduct. No confidentiality clause means the full truth stays on the record — this is exactly the kind of consequence that deters corporate misconduct. Narrative B says Devin Wenig maintained he never directed or knew about the harassment campaign, and an independent investigation backed that up. The real scandal is how an entire team of supposed security professionals executed this scheme without a single person pumping the brakes. Pinning this on top executives makes for a clean headline, but the actual breakdown happened far down the chain.

  @frankdegods This isn't 2021. GME doesn't and has never ran parabolic on fundamentals. A real eBay takeover bid and a record-profit quarter still left it down over the past year. That kind of move needs a retail squeeze, which realistically means Roaring Kitty walking back in. And if that's the thesis, then you go ahead and buy the stock. A token welded to the ticker hands you none of the eBay upside, just fresh token risk stapled to a share you could already own directly. Everything about it conveniently routes value back to the bundle in control. "People made money" is true of every coin on the way up. That's nothing but musical chairs, and it doesn’t give the token fundamental value or make your alleged sponsored promotion any less questionable. Alas, we'll see how it ends.

  What Is Printify and How Can You Make Money From It? E-commerce has become one of the most popular ways to build an online business, especially with the growth of the print-on-demand model. This business model allows people to sell customized clothing and other products without owning printing equipment or storing inventory. Printify is one of the best-known platforms in this industry. It helps designers and online store owners turn their ideas into physical products that are printed and shipped only after a customer places an order. What Is Printify? Printify is a print-on-demand platform. Under this model, a product is manufactured only when someone purchases it, instead of being produced in large quantities and stored in advance. The platform offers more than 1,300 customizable products, including T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, bags, stickers, phone cases, posters, and many other items. After choosing a product, the seller can upload a design, position it on the item, and preview how the final product will look before publishing it for sale. Printify is not a marketplace that buys designs from creators. It is also not a single printing factory. Instead, it connects sellers with a network of printing providers located in different countries. Sellers can compare providers according to product prices, location, customer ratings, production time, and shipping options. What Does the Seller Do, and What Does Printify Do? The responsibilities are divided between the seller and Printify. The seller is responsible for: Creating the design. Choosing the product. Setting the retail price. Preparing product images and descriptions. Publishing the product in an online store. Marketing the product. Attracting customers. Managing customer questions and store policies. Printify and its printing providers are responsible for: Printing the design on the product. Packaging the order. Shipping it directly to the customer. Providing tracking information when available. This means that the seller does not need to purchase printing equipment, rent a warehouse, package products, or visit a shipping company. How Do You Start Using Printify? The process begins by creating an account on Printify and selecting a product from its catalog, such as a T-shirt, mug, or bag. The seller then uploads a design and places it in the appropriate printing area using Printify’s design tool. Printify can be connected to several e-commerce platforms, including: Etsy Shopify WooCommerce Wix eBay BigCommerce Squarespace Amazon US TikTok Shop US Once the online store is connected, the seller can publish the product and choose its selling price. When a customer purchases the item, the order is sent to Printify. Printify then forwards it to the selected printing provider, which produces and ships the product. How Can You Make Money With Printify? You do not earn money simply by uploading a design to Printify. Profit is generated only when a customer buys the product from your store. The basic profit formula is: Net profit = Selling price − Product and printing cost − Shipping cost − Marketplace and payment fees − Advertising, taxes, and other expenses For example, imagine that you sell a T-shirt for $25. Product and printing cost: $10 Shipping cost: $5 Marketplace and payment fees: $3 Your estimated profit would be: $25 − $10 − $5 − $3 = $7 This is only an example. Actual costs depend on the product, printing provider, customer’s country, shipping method, selling platform, and advertising expenses. How Does Payment Work? In most store integrations, the customer pays through your online store or marketplace. Printify then charges your bank card or Printify balance for the production and shipping costs before sending the order to the printing provider. The money paid by the customer is usually not transferred directly from the selling platform to Printify. Therefore, the seller needs to have enough money available to cover production costs while waiting for marketplace payouts. This is important because a sudden increase in sales may require temporary working capital to process all orders. Can You Use Artificial Intelligence to Create Designs? Yes, artificial intelligence can be used to create designs for T-shirts and other products. Printify also provides an AI image-generation tool that allows users to create images by entering a written description of the desired design. Designs created with AI may generally be used commercially, provided that the user follows the policies of the AI tool and does not violate intellectual-property rights. When using an external AI platform, the seller should review its terms and confirm that commercial use is permitted. However, generating an image with AI does not automatically make it suitable for sale. The seller should still: Check the image for mistakes. Improve the design when necessary. Remove unwanted details. Make sure the resolution is suitable for printing. Choose colors that work well on the selected product. Ensure that the design is original and visually attractive. The Best Ways to Increase Your Chances of Making a Profit One of the most effective strategies is to target a specific group of customers instead of creating general designs for everyone. For example, sellers can create products for: People working in a certain profession. Fans of a particular hobby. Pet owners. Travelers. Teachers or healthcare workers. People celebrating birthdays or special occasions. Customers interested in motivational or humorous messages. After choosing a target audience, the seller should research similar products to understand popular styles, pricing, and the keywords customers use when searching. The purpose of competitor research is not to copy other sellers. It is to understand customer needs and develop an original product that provides something different. Choosing the right printing provider is also important. A provider with good ratings, reasonable prices, reliable quality, and a location close to the target market may offer faster and cheaper shipping. It is also recommended to order a sample before launching a product. A sample allows the seller to inspect the fabric, printing quality, colors, sizing, and packaging. Samples are normally not free, but testing the product can help prevent customer complaints and larger financial losses later. Professional product images are also essential. Sellers should use attractive mockups, write clear titles, explain the product materials and sizes, and provide accurate care instructions. After publishing the product, marketing becomes a major part of the business. Products can be promoted through social media, paid advertising, search optimization, content marketing, and influencer partnerships. Is Printify Free? Printify offers a free plan that allows users to create products and operate connected stores without paying a monthly subscription fee to Printify. However, the seller still pays for production and shipping whenever an order is placed. The seller may also need to pay fees charged by the marketplace, payment provider, advertising platform, or website service. Printify also offers a Premium plan with product discounts and additional features. It may be useful for stores that already receive regular orders. Beginners can usually start with the free plan and upgrade later when the savings from product discounts become greater than the subscription cost. Risks and Mistakes to Avoid One of the biggest mistakes is using copyrighted or trademarked material without permission. Sellers should not use: Company logos. Sports-team logos. Movie or television characters. Video-game characters. Celebrity photographs. Famous brand names. Artwork copied from another seller. Protected slogans or song lyrics. Designs that closely imitate existing trademarks. A design may still violate intellectual-property rights even when it was generated by artificial intelligence. For example, asking an AI tool to create a well-known cartoon character or a design in the style of a protected brand does not automatically make the result legal to sell. Sellers must own the content they upload or have the legal right to use it commercially. Other common mistakes include: Choosing the cheapest printing provider without checking quality. Selling without ordering a sample. Ignoring marketplace and payment fees. Setting prices too low. Failing to calculate advertising costs. Using poor-quality images. Providing unclear size information. Expecting Printify to find customers automatically. Because print-on-demand products are created specifically for each order, returns and exchanges may also be limited. Printify does not generally provide returns simply because a customer selected the wrong size, chose the wrong color, or changed their mind. However, damaged products, printing errors, and manufacturing problems may qualify for a replacement or refund when they are reported within the required period and supported with clear photographs. Is Profit From Printify Guaranteed? No, profit is not guaranteed. Printify handles product fulfillment, but it does not guarantee that customers will purchase your products. Success depends on several factors, including: Design quality. Product selection. Market demand. Pricing. Marketing. Search visibility. Shipping speed. Customer service. Competition. Cost management. The first design may not generate any sales. Sellers often need to test different ideas, study customer behavior, improve product listings, and replace designs that do not perform well. It is usually better to begin with a small collection of high-quality products instead of uploading hundreds of random designs. The seller can then expand the store based on products that receive views, clicks, favorites, or actual sales. Conclusion Printify is a useful platform for starting a customized-product business without purchasing inventory or owning printing equipment. The seller creates the design, publishes the product, determines the price, and markets it. Printify and its printing partners handle manufacturing, packaging, and shipping. Both handmade and AI-assisted designs can be used, provided that the seller has the legal right to use them and does not violate trademarks or copyrights. Profit is not generated simply by uploading a design. It is created when the seller reaches the right audience and sells the product at a price that covers production, shipping, marketplace fees, advertising costs, and other expenses while leaving a reasonable profit margin. Printify is therefore not a guaranteed or instant way to become wealthy. However, it can be a practical tool for building a real online business when combined with original designs, careful market research, effective marketing, and proper cost management.

  Gen X are based (@LinPau22) reported 47 minutes ago

  HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has successfully recovered over £104.3 million in unpaid taxes from landlords in the 2025/26 tax year alone by utilizing targeted "nudge letters". Data obtained by accountancy firm Price Bailey reveals that this marks the third consecutive year that receipts from these prompts have exceeded £100 million, nearly tripling the £36.8 million collected in 2019/20. What Are Nudge Letters? Informal Prompts: Officially called "One-to-Many" letters, these are behavioral science-backed notifications rather than formal tax audits. Pre-emptive Warnings: They alert targeted groups that HMRC has spotted data discrepancies, urging recipients to review and voluntarily correct their tax filings. Cost-Effective Compliance: They shift the administrative burden upstream, forcing taxpayers to check their own records instead of tying up tax officers in complex investigations. Core Targets of the Crackdown: HMRC cross-references data using its sophisticated "Connect" AI system alongside global financial data networks. The primary focal areas include: Landlords: Over 11,511 voluntary disclosures were made via the Let Property Campaign in 2025/26 using Land Registry matching. Crypto Investors: More than 65,000 nudge letters were issued to cryptocurrency traders after HMRC cross-checked transactions from digital asset exchanges. Online Marketplace Sellers: People selling high volumes on platforms like eBay, Vinted, Etsy, and Airbnb are closely monitored. Offshore Wealth Assets: UK residents flagged in international data leaks, such as the Pandora Papers, are heavily targeted. Common Mistakes Being Uncovered: Many disclosures come from "accidental landlords" or hobbyists who genuinely did not realize they owed tax. Frequent errors include: Confusing property repairs (deductible) with capital improvements (non-deductible). Misunderstanding the restriction on mortgage interest deductions, which was replaced by a 20% tax credit. Falling over the taxable thresholds for casual side-hustles and online storefronts.
