  Plan B Expat (@planbexpat) reported 1 minute ago

  The “move abroad and keep your salary zero tax” math always works in the post. It rarely works in real life. The tax saving is real. Your income is the problem, and nobody selling the dream says so. If you’re an employee, your employer is the first wall. Most won’t keep you on payroll where they have no entity. Many enforce a hard 183 day rule. So you get pulled back, let go, or rarely, moved to a contractor. That last one is the only version where the zero even starts to work. “I’ll just find remote work.” Good luck. Everyone wants the same arbitrage, so the seats paying North American rates are brutally competed, and they increasingly want you in a North American timezone anyway. This works for people who own portable income. Software first. Services second. Ecommerce a distant third, since marketplaces such as Etsy, even EBay or sometimes Amazon freeze you the moment they see a foreign IP. One filter for who to trust. The dream sellers on TikTok, Youtube or those convincing you can sell digital products living abroad, earn from the course, not the life. The honest ones can show real income from what they built abroad. If someone only profits from telling you how easy it is, that’s the tell. That’s the only reason the tax line works for some. They obtained legal residency, severed ties with their home country, owned a portable business that worked from anywhere. Residency before you need it. The boring steps are the whole game.

  I want eBay shut down. They are contaminating innocent people. Zombie apocalypse of criminals online. I got an eye infection from the first one, and I'm not even trying the second one. Both packages are sealed for 60 days in the garage. Protocol to have but not use. It's the LAW.

  @rnewton7777 Buy shares get over $30 for warrants , shareholders approve ability to issue more shares, shares are issued over $30. Company raises more money with warrants, price drops because of shares issued and eBay purchase. Comapny has 1.5 billion from warrants and can now buy back shares if price drops significantly .

  @slabfactory_ty @Voodoo_TCG People who don’t realize eBay doesn’t show the best offer accepted is the issue, not using eBay as comps. If people aren’t looking up sales on 130 Point or Card Ladder to get the accurate sale, they are they problem.

  @eBay The AI isn’t doing its job for your company, just like it’s not working with all others. All it does is fail to find any issues when’s human could easily see the issue. Example: Seller is claiming a 1/1 card is X when it’s really a Y. I report it, and AI finds no issues.

  @TheMagnifishit @FreeWyckoffs @ConwayYen Tbh it’s not even a disagreement. Not sure why he made the bet. He’s just been so obnoxiously sure on the price action going down to $17-18. I’m making sure he honors the bet IF hes wrong. We had high volume (20m+) breakout move prior to $GME’s eBay acquisition plan dropping.

  @eBay how can you get away with putting my funds on hold £50 because you couldn’t take 12p from my bank? you only wanted 12p because someone bought my collection only item in error and asked for a refund which i granted but ebay kept part of there fees back? investigators needed?

  Tyler (@SeeifIhaveit) reported 26 minutes ago

  I legitimately just spent the past hour talking to someone from @ebay. It is the 10th call that I have made. I was once again asked to file a dispute over something that I’ve been told twice now that I would be reimbursed for. Unfortunately, given the nature of timing, it is too late to have my bank do a charge back for theft. That is what this is. It is theft. I was upcharged $110 for shipping an item I had already paid $70 to ship. I am a calm person and I don’t use foul language or make threats when it comes to issues like this. I truly believe cooler heads will prevail. The lady who I spoke to was insisting that I handled the dispute with UPS. This is the first time anybody from eBay has raised that pathway. A dumb one at that. The most likely case of this will be that I am out $110. Even though on several occasions, I was told that I won the dispute and I would be refunded.

  I see people are still make terrible Bowman Baseball listing decisions on eBay. Just take a few minutes to look on eBay sold listings before you list your numbered card at BIN for 80% less than the other sellers FFS.

  @GMEThesis2 Let me break it down for you further. Tell me what would be better holding your position through the dilution that's coming or selling and buying eBay stuff assuming this deal goes through?

  @Dexerto Time to play hardball with these greedy CEOs whole company and franchisees are going down also. I don’t even know how they’ve stayed in business this long, use eBay or official consignment services not some business by that goober Aaron Mcneff with his gay *** mustache

  @KreekCraft If this change happens, a lot of people will basically sell their stuff on ebay, and quit games that have trading system aka half of roblox. This is not beneficial to anyone, it hurts both the users and Roblox as a company. I hope they dont implement this and it was just an error

  A $181K Pokémon auction flipped into a $236K “instant sale” right after the winning bidder allegedly didn’t pay. That alone is raising eyebrows in the high end hobby space. The MBA Black Diamond Black Label Bubble Mew reportedly ended at around $181,000. Shortly after, it was claimed the winning bidder failed to complete payment. The card was then relisted and quickly sold again for approximately $241,000. This all involves Ryan Card House and their handling of the auction process. According to an employee clarification, the original winner may have even bid up to $350K before backing out, which makes the final pricing narrative even harder to reconcile. The issue here is not just the individual transaction, but what it suggests about how high end auctions are being handled. If there were any prior agreements, guarantees, or undisclosed fallback pricing expectations, that would interfere with true price discovery instead of being explained after the fact. That is where concern comes in. Without the infrastructure and safeguards of established marketplaces like Goldin, ALT, or eBay, high end sales can start to distort rather than reflect real demand. Whether everything here is above board or not, the lack of transparency is exactly what erodes trust in the space. People need clean auctions. Not outcomes that require explanation after the fact. #Pokemon #PokemonTCG #BubbleMew

  1) I feel like sales websites like eBay or Amazon could make an easy fix on the road to cleaning up video game sales by implementing a standard tool that encourages sellers to photograph certain things on physical game media for the buyer to see.

  Never ever purchase anything from @Whatnot . Awful customer service, unhelpful and don’t care at all about their users. I cannot stress this enough, if you are in Canada, completely AVOID this site. Absolutely terrible, I will continue using eBay only.

  Randy Treibel (@RandyTreibel) reported 40 minutes ago

  According to @grok, this card is not numbered. Meaning, there’s no evidence he didn’t wipe the floor or have multiple copies purchased. It’s extremely common for a flipper to buy all variants and reset the comp. Everyone in that thread in favor of this witch hunt is toxic and all deserve to be blocked and even temporarily suspended from @eBay The fact that he said it was delivered when it was not is mildly problematic, but could be true. It’s a seller skill issue to refund here.

  @KatoKLynn @FAYMAYent We also don't use line here. I chatted with the FayMay Entertainment line account and told them about the issues and they want to take care of it. It would be easier if they just sell it on Ebay or Amazon for international Fans. I don't know why Thailand don't use those options

  @ValueAddedRS Had a call w/an @ebay. It was a good call. Not a complaint, but an inquiry: Is the problem just that eBay doesn't have the buyer traffic? This went unanswered. Plainly nothing else makes sense. They've an interest in my promoted items selling 🧵👇(7pts)

  @Cryptic_Dollar @_bismack_ I just posted the rules that are clearly being broken. Your envelope isn't flexible. I started selling singles on ebay 20 years before they introduced ESE. What does that have to do with your envelopes clearly being too rigid for the service? Say whatever you want about not having problems yet. They will come.

  $GME reported record Q1 net income of $389.6 million and announced a new $2 billion share repurchase authorization. $AMC New He-Man Movie $SPCE Remember how that chinese EV company $NIO ran 66x just cause it was EV and Cars? SPCX Now if any of these 3 goes up Shorts will be in deep trouble.. Specially with Ebay and the 2 billion Repurchase. Total of 9 Billion in cash right?... Shorts will go down 1 by one. any purchases you see today are the smart ones getting out. If you like my input a little like and share goes along way. thank you fam! To the moon!

  @_bismack_ No point in eBay / PSA doing it, just causing more risks on high end orders. Or at least raise the threshold to 500-1000$ to slow the traffic down

  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.
