  Just like to say Ever since businesses started using AI, my life has become hell. I cannot buy anything at a decent price online. AI will either say my non-standard address is an illegitimate address or it doesn't exist, and it sways many, many good deals away from me where they refuse to ship to my non-standard address, thinking it's incorrect, and I end up not being able to buy on eBay 90% of the time. I can get three out of 10 packages delivered if I'm lucky; it's very discouraging, and I miss out on 90% of all the good deals. Not just on eBay, it's on Amazon, on Walmart, on all e-commerce stores because they're all having problems with this damn AI mingling in our addresses and making non-standard addresses illegitimate addresses, and it's hell for the poor, especially the elderly poor who have a hard time communicating I wish AI would get bumped, nuked, or destroyed. I'm an old-school computer tech from the '90s still managing, maintaining, servicing, and repairing my computers and devices. I use several Linux distros, which I find a lot more convenient, useful, and trustworthy than any Microsoft product or version of Microsoft Windows with all of the updates and manipulation to control the people's systems. It has destroyed my faith in Microsoft, and just when it looked like life was becoming something worth living and a technical world turning into something useful and enjoyable, they would have to drag AI, the real monster, into our lives, and today it's a living hell, and I wish somebody could hear my words. AI has a way of making sure nobody ever hears our voices anymore or hears me. I've noticed time and time again it's got control of people, and nobody's paying attention to what AI is really doing to people who don't have the abilities to properly articulate or communicate—people who are not so healthy physically and/or mentally or not schooled much don't spell or type very well, like me. Even though I am pretty tech-savvy, I'm nearly 70 years old and struggling these days now more than ever before. If there were ever a time I would be tempted to leave this world, if I didn't worry about where I would spend eternity, it would be easy, and I cringe at getting older or staying alive in this world the way it is now or what it's becoming to me and other human beings; it's a real nightmare that many who are like me are living in today.

  @CardPurchaser anyone having search issues on eBay? Every search I’m doing is coming back as zero items found

  @C_Landy84 I’ve had amazing luck with them actually. You have put a bid down early, monitor it, then set a reminder in phone to check eBay with 10 min left on the clock for bid ending Then with about 2 min left up your bid, wait for someone to beat it then with 10 secs up it again

  @VirtuallyMarti Problem with this is it forces people to buy pins they may not even want just to trade. Lessens the chance of people who actually want them getting them due to people buying them up-- many who are those same Ebay people.

  @DsMatie I think your proposal assumes that all developers are very considerate and fair, but what about when the dev isn’t being as professional? And I’ve seen plenty of naysayers downplaying Shopify on many counts, and that would simply be another angle where they could challenge Shopify’s suitability for newcomers to online commerce. What’s wrong with simply moderating bad reviews? Ebay has customer service departments where you can call as a merchant, present your evidence and potentially get a bad customer review removed if it’s justified. Problem solved.

  @eBay how are you going to fix this? An AI scan isn’t going to cut it.

  Ebay seller performance is the dumbest system I've ever seen if you are a hobby seller. Marks against you don't just fall off over time. They only improve with more sales. So if you have limited sales, the "low performance" % on some statistic just persists indefinitely. We have a mark over "cases closed without seller resolution". How in the world do we bring that % down as a hobby seller? Are we literally supposed to sell more, to have more cases opened against us, to then resolve them and bring the % down? This makes no sense. And the % calculation goes back literally over a year. And yet we get emails that we need to improve this stat. How @eBay would you propose I bring down a stat that requires more sales AND more cases opened (which is a negative outcome on an even smaller % of sales) in order to resolve them.

  After many months of losing the spark due to some personal issues, its time to get back on the horse and crack on, part out of spite towards geebubs, part as it needs to happen. Painting wise we got a kill team of legionnaires, renegade more than full on, a Vindicare assassin, big bobby G (backpack bit broke off but it was an ebay snipe) as well as myself (there are layers to this irony. And though a legends model in its own right; **** it)

  @radioofam @CardPurchaser I've had the same issue happen a few times. Unfortunately, some buyers will receive the card and take advantage of this. Calling eBay customer support is the best way to handle this situation. eBay will refund the buyer on their end and you will be able to keep the funds.

  @TheLaurenChen eBay sells every single book a child could want for $3-5/pop. Every one living in a major american city is within at most 5 miles of a goodwill/salvation army with $1/$2 books. Every library has these programs. Access to books is not the problem. THis is all performative.

  @SiouxEggbysioux @JChimirie66677 Bought a Logburner. When there was a powercut last year, we had warmth, the heat from it spreads down the hall into the other rooms. Local guy offered cut trees late last yr, we bought log splitter on ebay (cheap).Plus Chainsaw B&Q. Now stocked ready for winter powercuts!

  @ArmaLite15OU812 Seriously. We want to pay less for everything across the board. Also work on better tax laws. Tired of paying tax on everything. If something is purchased once. Sold through eBay or something. Shouldn't pay tax again. That's robbery. Fix the IRS.

  Einstein never made a dollar from relativity. The Wright brothers flew the first plane and died broke. Every railroad baron who connected a continent went bankrupt. They created everything. They captured nothing. Google made $50,000,000,000 in one year selling search. Airlines moved 800,000,000 passengers and made approximately zero profit across their entire 100-year history. One is more important to civilization. The other is worth four times more. Peter Thiel spent one Stanford lecture explaining why - and why most people have it completely backwards. This is Stanford, How to Start a Startup. He called it Competition is for Losers. He opens with one formula: value created times percent captured. X times Y. The mistake everyone makes is thinking X and Y move together. Then the lies. Monopolies pretend they are not monopolies - Google calls itself an advertising company. 3.5% of a $500,000,000,000 market. Not a monopoly - just a minnow in an ocean. Startups with nothing unique do the opposite. They call themselves the only British restaurant in Palo Alto. Then the small market rule. Amazon started as a bookstore. PayPal started with 20,000 eBay power sellers. Facebook started with 10,000 people at Harvard - 0 to 60% market share in 10 days. Everyone called these markets too small to matter. That was the point. Then last mover. 75% of a tech company's value comes from cash flows after year 10. First mover gets a one-third **** advantage. Last mover wins the game. The question is never who got there first. The question is who stays. Then the personal story. Thiel graduated Stanford, got a job at a top New York firm everyone wanted to enter and everyone wanted to leave. Left after 7 months and 3 days. A colleague told him: it's reassuring to see you leave. I had no idea it was possible to escape from Alcatraz. All you had to do was walk out the front door. Watch the moment he redefines loser. We think losers are people who can't compete. He argues the real losers are the ones who compete hardest - in markets so crowded that winning means capturing nothing. A founder I know replayed this before turning down a Series A that wanted him to go after a larger market. Said it was the first time saying no to money felt like strategy rather than fear. Free on YouTube, Stanford. bookmark this and watch later - after this lecture every crowded market you see will feel like a sign someone already lost

  @TinyToothDDS I pretty much started two weeks ago lol I’m just selling off cards that I had collected in my youth, mostly junk, wax baseball, basketball, and football and a little bit of Pokémon. I did buy a Rollo printer for $200 and have no regrets, it makes it much faster to do my envelopes. So far I’ve closed 34 sales for about 600 bucks. I’ve usually paid eBay to promote at about 10% but I recently heard it is a waste of money so I’m trying 5% and if stuff keeps selling, I’ll go down to zero promotion and try that

  @Eternal_Saints_ Whenever I can't find something on eBay/Amazon, my go to is Eborn, Benchmark, or Confetti books. Some of the best stuff I've bought through Eborn: - Robert F. Smith's Unpublished Manuscript "Urim" - Mr. Boren and the White Salamander, Mormonism Magic and Masonry, and other harder to find Jerald/Sandra Tanner pamphlets - Various Ogden ***** pamphlets - 1883 Salt Lake School of the Prophets Minute Book - Levi and Mosiah Hancock Journal - Poetical Writings of Orson F. Whitney My most recent order was supposed to be Gospel Problems and Supplement to Gospel Problems by Heber Bennion, but the former turned out to be out of stock and refunded

  Knife buyers shouldn’t have to decode vague listings or wonder whether an item can ship. Built Tallysheath to fix that: a focused eBay shop for accurately classified kitchen, outdoor, craft, and utility knives, with organized fulfillment and compliance-first listings. Live soon.

  6 cylinder Mac Pros hang sideways in a wire rack, cooled by 1 server fan bolted straight to the shelf above. No case. No dust filter. Just raw air crossing 6 towers Apple stopped selling in 2019, the fan spinning loud enough to hear from the next room. He bought them dead. 90 dollars each, pulled for scrap on eBay, shipped in bubble wrap that still smelled like a warehouse. Fixed 4 in a garage lit by 1 bare bulb. Networked them into 1 render node, cables zip-tied to the same wire shelving that used to hold his gym bag. Freelance editors on Fiverr queue jobs on the farm now. 15 dollars an hour. 3 clients a week. 900 dollars a month, off hardware everyone else called e-waste and left curbside. The fan never stops. Neither does the queue.

  Had an Air Force family live down the street from me. The oldest son was the neighborhood know-it-all and show-off. Of course, he had the nicest, most expensive bike among all the kids. Mongoose had a deal going with military exchanges, and last time I visited the nearest base commissary, they still do. Anyway this kid had Mongoose. The Blue Max branded Mongoose. Anyway about two years later his dad was caught doing PCS fraud. Lost his commission. Had to sell his prize 1960s Corvette he kept in the garage. Had to sell the house pronto because the Air Force yanked his BAH the day they yanked his commission. They even gave away a Hawaiian vacation to whoever bought that stupid house, the poor fools. They never sold it. They defaulted. They showed up in town a few years later, the entire family riding motorcycles. They had no home anymore, so they just rode motorcycles, as a family, around the United States. Anyway if you still have your Mongoose or Hutch or Redline, they go for a lot of money on Ebay now.
