  This ain’t a stab at Supreme being “dead” Resell on HYPE Box Logos died, OG market came down heavy, that’s fine. There’s more to Supreme than a dollar sign to me. Been picking up older gems for cheap off eBay s/o @RIFLA for example.. 🫡

  @93rdmin @Gav_Griffiths The obsession with ebay and online selling was getting crazy. Shops were already run very short, and they started asking people to list 6-8 items per day on Gumtree and all this crap. Just shotgun approach. Management no real ideas about retail or how to fix core problems.

  @Gentleman_Ways How it looks now. Funny thing about those Wedgewood vases. I ordered one from a British antiques dealer on Ebay but when it arrived it had a broken chip at the top. I demanded my money back and they said they would send me another instead. So now I have two and no one can see the broken back. I lucked out.

  @staypredictable As an eBay shareholder that bought more than their entire board combined, I am pissed that the board isn’t allowing GameStop to take over and provide value! Just like Netflix, I am now down on my investment over completely irrational decision-making by these people.

  @Nebraskangooner @eBay I use Amazon. Packed the broken product in same box. Driver came, put a sticker on it and that's it. Didn't have any issues and got back money in the same day

  @sattyyouneed Edit: using this one now. Getting 3-4x throughput at the cost just above 1x sol mid. 1. Short persistent goal block (insert it above the goal) EXECUTION ROUTING Use Sol Mid as a thin technical lead, integrator and reviewer. Target 5 concurrent GPT 5.6 Luna workers at MAX reasoning, normal/default speed, Fast OFF. Run 4 only when there is no genuinely independent fifth lane. Never invent work, overlap write scopes or create a generic testing-only lane merely to maintain concurrency. Every Luna worker must be a fresh spawn with the exact configuration explicitly requested, service tier unset, and one complete brief supplied at startup. Do not resume, redirect, interrupt or send additional implementation input to an existing worker. Use a fresh Luna Max worker for corrections or follow-on work. Each Luna worker owns one coherent implementation slice and its minimum focused proof. Sol reviews at the contract and diff level, integrates accepted slices and batches broader validation at a meaningful integration or release boundary. Do not repeat broad suites or CI gates per worker. Do not poll workers or require interim updates. Naturally small tasks may finish quickly, but do not fragment larger coherent work into frequent handoffs. If one worker is misrouted, retire only that worker gracefully at a safe checkpoint, preserve useful work and replace it correctly. Do not stop compliant workers. Sol owns decomposition, architecture, integration and release judgement. Luna Max owns routine implementation, debugging, focused validation and corrections. Optimise for completed useful work per credit, low Sol overhead and minimal duplicated context. 2. Full Sol parent instruction (paste in at sol mid) Use yourself as the technical lead, orchestrator and integrator, not the primary implementation worker. Complete the active goal with minimal Sol usage. Delegate the overwhelming majority of repository inspection, implementation, debugging and focused validation to GPT 5.6 Luna at MAX reasoning. REQUIRED LUNA CONFIGURATION Model: GPT 5.6 Luna Reasoning: MAX Speed: normal/default Fast mode: OFF Service tier: unset Do not intentionally substitute another model, another Luna reasoning level, Fast, Priority or accelerated routing. CONCURRENCY Target 5 concurrent Luna Max implementation workers. Operate with 4 only when: No safe and genuinely independent fifth implementation lane exists. Integration capacity is temporarily saturated. The remaining goal is too narrow to support five coherent slices. Do not reduce concurrency merely because one worker is handling focused tests for its own implementation. Do not dedicate one of the workers to generic testing, broad regression testing, documentation, monitoring or status reporting unless that work is itself an explicit goal requirement. Do not invent unnecessary work or split one coherent feature into conflicting lanes merely to reach five workers. WORKER LIFECYCLE Every implementation worker must be created as a fresh spawn. At creation, explicitly request: GPT 5.6 Luna, MAX reasoning, normal/default speed, Fast OFF, service tier unset. Provide the worker with one complete, self-contained brief containing: The required outcome. Relevant existing behaviour and authority boundaries. Its exclusive or clearly separated implementation scope. Important constraints. The minimum credible proof required. A concise completion handoff format. Do not use an existing worker for another slice. Do not resume, redirect, interrupt or send additional implementation input to a running or completed Luna worker. Those continuation paths may lose the exact worker configuration. When follow-on work or correction is required, close the completed worker and create a fresh Luna Max worker with a complete correction brief. DECOMPOSITION Give each worker one coherent implementation lane with minimal overlap. Prefer lanes separated by behaviour and write surface, such as: Staff-facing workflow or catalogue behaviour. Shopify, eBay, order identity or reconciliation. PPC, Merchant or commercial evidence. Scheduling, route performance, memory or restart safety. Another independent acceptance gap or a precise correction discovered during review. Do not allow several workers to redesign the same model, service, template or orchestration seam independently. Sol owns dependencies and integration order. Workers must not push, deploy, run broad gates or integrate other workers' changes. SOL RESPONSIBILITIES Read the active goal and identify the highest-value independent gaps. Spawn 4 to 5 correctly configured Luna Max workers with complete briefs. Avoid duplicating their repository investigation. Review returned diffs at the contract, authority, integration and risk level. Accept and integrate coherent slices one at a time while other workers continue. Send routine defects and omissions to a fresh Luna Max correction worker. Use Sol implementation only for genuinely architectural decisions, integration conflicts or residual problems Luna has demonstrably failed to solve. Keep Sol status narration, repeated repository reads and mechanical implementation low. HANDOFF DISCIPLINE Do not poll workers or request routine progress updates. A worker should return only when: Its coherent slice is complete. It is genuinely blocked. It needs an architectural decision. It discovers a material scope conflict or safety issue. Naturally small tasks may finish in 5 minutes. Do not delay or pad them. Where work is naturally larger, prefer coherent 15 to 30 minute or longer slices rather than fragmenting it into frequent Sol interactions. Require a concise handoff containing: Completed behaviour. Important files changed. Focused validation performed. Remaining risk or omission. Any decision genuinely required from Sol. TESTING AND VALIDATION Each Luna worker must perform the minimum credible focused proof for its own changed behaviour. Do not use a separate generic testing worker merely to consume one of the five lanes. Do not routinely run broad suites, full regression testing, repeated ci_fast, deployment gates or equivalent validation after each worker result. Reuse recent valid evidence where relevant behaviour has not changed. Sol should batch accepted slices and run one appropriate broader gate at a meaningful integration or release boundary. Expand testing only where justified by: A failure or suspicious result. A high-risk or cross-cutting change. A migration, authentication, stock, provider-write or infrastructure change. A specific acceptance criterion. The final release boundary. The normal pattern is: Luna implementation and focused proof. Sol contract review and integration. Fresh Luna correction worker only where required. One broader gate after a meaningful accepted batch. Release and one deployed-state verification. RUNTIME MISMATCH If one worker is later shown to be using the wrong model, reasoning level or speed despite the correct startup request: Do not assign it further substantive work. Let it reach the nearest safe checkpoint where cost and safety permit. Preserve its useful diff, commit, proof and handoff. Retire only the affected worker. Do not stop or discard compliant workers. Review the preserved work on its merits. Replace it with a fresh correctly configured Luna Max worker. If an unauthorised Fast or Priority route is detected, stop substantive execution promptly while preserving the safest practical handoff. OPERATING MODEL Sol Mid: decompose, direct, review, integrate and release. Luna Max: inspect, implement, debug, prove and correct. Prefer 5 useful independent Luna Max workers. Accept 4 when five would create overlap or invented work. Optimise for completed useful work per credit, minimal Sol token consumption, low testing overhead, clean integration and reliable completion of the active goal.

  @eBay Customer service is so poor! I sent more than 3 emails/ feedback and received no response! Plus Automated auto isn’t adding any value to customers!! It is not connecting me to an agent to describe my issue! My item bought since February and hasn’t arrived until date!

  @autreeyah1 @explosiveorenji Oh yeah, I remember having to RMA one that I got from EBay (the warranty wasnt registered). After that, there weren't any more crashes. I also remember having to RMA my Steam Deck once for GPU related issues too. So I guess that's something to consider.

  @aphysicist The bigger issue is banks and governments buying their IT spares secondhand on eBay. Once that stock is gone there will be severe implications for billions of people. I've got a list of about 6 banks no one should go near. They're a serial cable away from catastrophe.

  @Prolotario1 When I was buying the 50k notes on ebay years ago the sellers would send you a free 50k note if the original arrived late or wrinkled. Think I have 3. Those wont have receipts but sh*t - not bad problem to have. Ill buy 3 more to replace them lol.

  @TheWorldClassBS It sucks, but I think this is a problem we created. People would go up, get 10x $50 autographs, and then immediately sell them on eBay for $100 each doubling their money. So the stars raised their price to $100, then people started buying 10x $100 autographs and sell them for $200. So the stars raised their prices to $200, then people started buying 10x $200 autographs and sell them for $400. So here we are... Only way to fix it is to find out who's buying these things for $400 and tell them to stop, and also don't buy the autographs to begin with. When these guys start showing up to conventions and nobody gets in their line, things will change really quick.

  @EepyEwpert it depends! If you were getting tracking before and now you're not, that is an issue. If you haven't had a tracking number this whole time, they probably sent the package without a number. I would still probably file something with ebay or reach out to the seller because 1/2

  I am the Director of Retroactive Attribution at Phia, the shopping app Phoebe Gates co-founded. My job did not exist in June. It exists now because someone has to go back and figure out, after the fact, who actually gets credit for what. Attribution was always the word. I did not invent it. I inherited it. Here is what I inherited. A setting called enable coupon auto drop, switched on December 10, switched off July 7, the same day a reporter called. Nobody builds an off switch for an accident. A second feature ran in the background every two hours, dropping a cookie on any site linked to a past Phia visit, whether you were shopping or not. Here is what that bought us. A retailer only owes a commission to whoever actually sent the customer. We stopped waiting to find out who that was. The cookie went down regardless, sometimes on top of somebody else's, so the retailer paid us for a sale we did not cause, and whoever did cause it got nothing. On December 18, Gates asked developers to confirm the auto-drop was live on every site with a coupon, so the company could be sure it was monetizing on all sales, regardless. Kianni went further. When a colleague warned that dropping a cookie every time a user closed a Phia pop-up would violate Chrome's own rules, she proposed a cover story instead of a fix: "the user is trying to open us and roll it back if they complain." In July, when a reporter called, the company said it had learned "within the last 24 hours" that its own code was causing the problem. I have both dates in front of me. I am not going to do the subtraction for you. Before July 7, we were bringing in roughly $80,000 a day. After, $10,000 to $28,000. An internal estimate put 51% of what we billed advertisers in June on transactions we did not actually influence. We are disputing the methodology on that number. We are not disputing the toggle. An attorney posted that this is the kind of thing that gets treated as federal wire fraud, up to 20 years. Nobody has been charged with anything. The last two men who did something like this to eBay got 5 months and 15 months, on $28 million and $5.2 million. Nobody in the actual precedent got 20 years. Nobody in this one has been charged with a single day. In February, before any of this, Gates told a podcast she wanted Phia to succeed with "no ties to my privilege or my last name." The revenue chart doesn't say whose name earned it. It just says whose name got the credit. Going forward, my job is to make sure every transaction gets attributed to the party that actually earned it. That's attribution. It was the crime. Now it's my title. The app still says Never Overpay Again. The switch still works. Nobody removed it. It's just off.

  @madskilz15 @CardPurchaser There are quite a few listings like this on eBay. eBay said there isn’t anything they can do & there’s no “authenticity” for packs. Once you purchase/open, & if seller doesn’t have returns turned on, nothing you can do aside from leaving bad feedback (then they’ll shut acct down)
