  eBay has to fix their communication gap with the ESE tracking with USPS. Local offices have been instructed they aren’t to scan that only regional hubs scan PWE eBay tracking now. Also a new wave of buyers this year kind of stink. I have had 10 refund requests this year alone

  When we were teenagers, my friends and I held reverence for hackers. One morning back in 2000, I woke up and heard on the news that someone had brought down Amazon, E-Trade, Yahoo, eBay, and CNN. Sweet. Sometime after that, news broke of the arrest of the perpetrator: a 15 year old boy named Michael Calce -aka MafiaBoy. I thought that was just the coolest **** ever because I was 15, too. There was this whole era where our parents, teachers, and other adults believed that just because some of us were adept with computers, that we were capable of terrible things like MafiaBoy was. The worst we were capable were isolated incidents at school or in public. I knew how to get into my schools grading and attendance system, SASI -but never had the ***** to change my grades. I added classes to the system like "RUSTY TROMBONING" and put in people I liked or didn't like, and gave them a grade commensurate to what I believed their talent in such an act was. Friend of mine in Colorado would get expelled from school around the same time for constantly getting printers throughout the school to print out The Hackers Manifesto as read from the movie Hackers. He got arrested a few years later after accessing the customer database of one of the big supermarket chains in his area.

  The biggest criticism of my eBay institutional ownership analysis in my $GME is that I double counted, and therefore the thesis is invalidated. Okay. Remove the duplicate. It's still over 90%. 90%+ institutional ownership in a company being actively bid on at a 20% premium. That's the number the "debunkers" don't want to engage with because correcting the error doesn't change the conclusion. If fixing one data point doesn't change the thesis, the critique was never about accuracy. It was about avoidance. AND ASK YOURSELF, WHY DO THEY WANT YOU TO IGNORE THAT NUMBER?

  @CardsEnzo The issue is the non scans and scammers - sent over 1,000 ESE with maybe .1% defect rate but those buyers are the worst - leave negative feedback that takes eBay days to remove - false claims of not receiving the item - etc wish it had more reliability but you can’t beat the $$

  @AmeraucanaLover I deal in comic books. Some comic shop owners look down on customers who buy from them with the intention of flipping it. Which is hypocritical, because every shop owner in the modern day got their start flipping books on eBay they got from local shops.

  Search for the exact brand and model number not generic descriptions. She said most buyers search eBay the wrong way with vague terms like "modern sofa" or "wood dining table." That pulls up thousands of irrelevant results. She said: "Go to the retailer's website first. Find the exact piece you want. Write down the brand, the collection name, and the model number or SKU if it's listed. Then search eBay for that exact product." They wanted a Pottery Barn York Slope Arm Sofa. Retail: $2,199. She searched "Pottery Barn York Slope Arm Sofa" on eBay. Three listings appeared all from people who'd bought the same sofa, used it for a year, and were upgrading. Prices: $650, $780, and $890. They bought the $780 one. Barely used. No stains. No damage. Original cushions. She said: "$780 for a $2,199 sofa. Same brand. Same model. Same fabric. A year old. That's a 64% discount because someone redecorated their living room and needed it gone. This happens thousands of times a day on eBay. People upgrade. People move. The old furniture has to go somewhere. It goes to eBay at whatever price gets it out the door."

  @DubMentality You ship FedEx with insurance. Honestly eBay is fine. Since you don’t know people you might consider a consignment shop that can sell for you. If it’s a giant card then an auction house. Problem is it’ll take months to get money.

  @IndianaBlotto Ebay I use sometimes as well. Usually if I don’t find anything on a given weekend or need a specific issue or book to finish a series.

  We want 20 eBay sellers to beta the store import.

You get an owner’s stake in a new platform. We get sellers who make it better. DM to claim a spot. Ai for Everyone. 🧬 @CardPurchaser #buildinpublic

  @LeeandLie I was looking forward to buying your figure off of eBay or some other bidding site since I missed the deadline of pre-ordering it. After hearing and reading everything, you're not to be blamed for this nor did you let your fans down. Hoping the best for you when things gets straightened.
