Nick 🏴 (@Nick_Baker777) reported from Caerphilly, Wales@KieraDiss Ebay is slowly turning to a joke, thanks to the ever-increasing number of these people who genuinely believe that they can make a profit by buying (potentially thieving) cheap, damaged, broken sh*t, upload a few photos, and slap higher-end prices on it all. A big problem is that they have no idea about the stuff they are selling. Many of them have jumped into the used digital camera market. They lie about condition. Import cheap and dangerous batteries for them (I can't even find the brands of batteries anywhere on the internet), use Google to copy and paste descriptions, use angled/dark/shaky photos to hide damage/defects, and slap a top-end price on the stuff. And many don't just limit their sales to cameras... And if you ask them questions, you get NO replies. Not because they can't speak English, but because they can't use Google to copy and paste an answer regarding item-specific questions, like how much use it has had, what the shutter count is, does it make certain noises/crunches (indicating issues)... The list goes on. It's a joke. And they are not just limited to cameras. Be weary and check seller details. Even addresses can give a clue. Avoid buying any sort of tech from them, especially if it uses rechargeable batteries or mains electric. They don't even understand the significance of posting **** with, "Comes with original accessories", when you can clearly see that it's a camera/phone/tablet being sold with an Amazon Firestick plug and Samsung case when the item is made by Sony... They are literally flooding eBay, slowly but surely, and raking in money from clueless people... And I reckon it's the reason that eBay have this week, sent us sellers a list of new policy changes regarding earnings, declarations, taxes, charges... Because a lot of these tw@ts are running full-scale operations whilst claiming to be small, private sellers. Oh, and beware the ones selling Nike trainers... About 80% of what I have seen this week alone are either fake or stolen. Learn to spot the fakes and learn to check the details. A "trusted eBay seller" has usually had their account for more than a few weeks and will have a significant amount of feedback. It's not just the car boot sales where these fckers are taking the p*ss with second hand/dodgy goods.

Nishant Sharma (@nishants_view) reported@amazonIN @AmazonHelp Dear Amazon, why are you spamming my inbox by sending delivery completion/shipment emails of products which have been already delivered in the past week? There seems to be an issue in your system. Please check

Egg Shen (@Jwave630) reported@Xaviershinfuu @Adiofreak So are we cherry picking shows then? I had to look it up because I'd never heard of it. I cancelled HBO after most of the new shows were terrible. What about the dozens of flops on Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon?

KURTZ (@Utter_Savagery) reported@ChimayBlue @jonbrooks Man, I've met a lot of you guys that move down here and it's like paradise. *If* you are from here, your career options often suck. That's the point of OPs original post. Are you saying its untrue? Also, $21 an hour is fine, but in some areas, he could get that at Amazon?

CRYPTO OUTLOOK (@_crypto_outlook) reportedAmazon Web Services (AWS) is using Coinbase and Stripe for AI agent payments with stablecoins. The company introduced Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments. It was developed in partnership with Coinbase and Stripe, which provided the wallet infrastructure and payment systems. Meanwhile, Coinbase announced that developers could create solutions for AI agents using their x402 protocol, which allows micropayments with USDC. At the same time, the use of Coinbase on Amazon's cloud infrastructure led to an extended outage. Initially, it affected the ALEO and Solana networks. Users of the cryptocurrency exchange were unable to make transactions through the website and mobile app.

Anna writes (@anna_writes0) reported@Kingsleychuks55 Yes, it’s still safe to publish Kindle books on KDP, but Amazon has become stricter with their policies over the years. A lot of account issues usually come from things like copyright problems, low-quality content, misleading metadata, AI misuse, duplicate content, or other policy violations sometimes unknowingly. If your current account is in good standing, just make sure everything you publish follows KDP guidelines properly before uploading. Don’t rush the process, especially with ebooks.

Scotty of Troy!✌️ Fight On! (@ApacheUSCLV) reported@crypto_bitlord7 Coinbase offline. 2 hours. AWS went down. Leveraged positions liquidated. Users locked out. Trades frozen. The largest crypto exchange in America taken down by Amazon. Decentralization isn't a buzzword. It's the entire point. $LINK has secured $28 trillion across 7 years with zero centralized downtime. Build on infrastructure that doesn't have an off switch.

polymathinvestor (@dhwaaneet03) reported1/n AXISCADES makes its money by designing, building, and delivering defense electronics, aerospace components, and industrial electronic systems. The core transaction: a customer (DRDO, HAL, BEL, Airbus, Amazon, Apple) pays for either a development contract (lower margin, 18-24 months) or a production contract (higher margin, 5-10 year recurring supply). Revenue splits across three segments: Defense at 35% of 9M FY26 revenue, Aerospace at 32%, ESAI (Electronics, Semiconductors, AI) at 11%, with the remaining 22% from non-core verticals being wound down. The company is in a deliberate structural pivot: in H1 FY25, products were 32% of revenue; by 9M FY26, products are 39%. The stated target is 80% products and manufacturing by FY28.

Kirk Kerekes (@Cocoader) reported@tuuu28283 Yes, when we bought it, the Vue already had 200K miles on it, and some of the front suspension components were worn out. We bought it as-is cheaply for cash, expecting to put the same amount into repairs. I bought the parts on Amazon and did what I could myself. I also added a backup camera, all LED lighting and a new radio/media player/display unit. It thus had a nearly 2020 feature set in a 2004 chassis. When AirTags became available, I hid two of them on the outside of the Vue, so we had vehicle tracking. During time when we had to park it outside, I added a built-in battery charger/maintainer and a crankcase heater. They ran off of an extension cord that could be routed out of the cargo hatch to an outside outlet. This made winter morning starts no problem at all — just unplug, turn the key and zoom off. The weakest link in the Vue was the Honda transmission. We tried to baby it along, but it was starting to show signs of age.

hervevancaloen (@hervevancaloen) reported$MELI MercadoLibre's revenue growth is accelerating from 43% to 49%. The stock is down. Investors are missing the opportunity because they focus on short term profit margins. Remember when Amazon was reinvesting all their profits to grow to a dominant position? BTW, non performing loans as a percentage of the total portfolio is not increasing. That in spite of the fact that rapid growth requires upfront provisioning for expected losses on new loans (even high-quality ones), which compresses short-term margins/NIMAL.

Jonah 📦 (@jonahhodges_) reportedDay 1: Listing audit. We pull up every product they have on Amazon. → Check the images. → Check the copy. → Check the backend search terms. Most of the time it's a mess. One blurry image, bullet points written a decade ago, zero A+ content, no videos. We document everything that's broken and build the fix list.

LaPortsia Wallace (@laportsia) reportedAt this point, the lack of resolution from @amazon in removing the 2FA tied to an old number is beyond unacceptable & ridiculous. Since January! Help me understand why I still have no fix. Only the complete run around. My mind is buffering over this! @AmazonHelp @ajassy

Eric Van Tassel (Not a Financial Advisor!) (@XRPathologist) reportedNow you see why I like setups like these! However, because of the continued @Coinbase problems with Amazon, they were down early in the AM and I couldn't execute my entry. Has cost me $700 so far! They really do need to get their act together!! So, this is a good example to indicate how important it is not to revenge trade. Price has left the area I wanted to enter so I can not chase this green candle. I'll wait for a pullback or structure retest. **** happens but NEVER revenge trade!

Blockchain Daily News (@blckchaindaily) reportedAmazon Web Services said it is actively working to restore normal temperatures at a data center in Northern Virginia after overheating issues disrupted some services. The company reported that progress has been slower than anticipated, though engineers have made what it described as “incremental progress” in stabilizing cooling systems. Officials confirmed that a power loss linked to the incident affected certain hardware, compounding the disruption. As a result, services dependent on the impacted facility may continue to experience impairments while recovery efforts remain underway. Northern Virginia is one of the most critical hubs for global internet infrastructure, meaning even localized disruptions can have widespread ripple effects. The incident highlights the growing strain on data center infrastructure as demand for cloud computing and AI workloads continues to surge. Amazon has not yet provided a full timeline for complete recovery, but says mitigation efforts are ongoing as teams work to bring systems back to full capacity.

Lain on the Blockchain (@CryptoCyberia) reported@Dgkalx1267 @ant_dracula Excuse me posting R*ddit, but the Financial Times article is behind a paywall. Basically, Amazon had a meeting to discuss that vibe-coding in particular was leading to outages for both the Amazon storefront and AWS services. That being said, I didn't see that AWS outage was responsible for Coinbase being down, and assuming that is accurate (I haven't read into what you linked yet), then obviously it was likely vibe coding at AWS that led to the issue, as reflected in my R*ddit post.

Premkumar (@KWTPremkumar) reported@AmazonHelp Gayathri this is not my first complaint. You need to FIX the Chennai Amazon team who are appointing cheap labor for delivering the orders. They work after their office hours. Hence deliver as late as 1040pm. Fix the issue please

Paul Triolo (@pstAsiatech) reported...a lot of allegations and unnuendo. Reminds of previous story: Bloomberg Businessweek reported in 2018 that Chinese spies implanted tiny malicious microchips on Supermicro server motherboards, targeting U.S. companies like Apple and Amazon. These rice-grain-sized chips allegedly allowed remote access to sensitive networks. The report was widely disputed, with officials from Apple, Amazon, and the NSA strongly denying the claims.

SellFlipDad (@SellFlipDad) reportedI have been quiet for a few weeks. Been working out of town mostly out of a hotel. Away from family. It stinks. My Amazon is still ripping and our what not chugs a long when I get home. What I have had time to focus on though is super cool. With the help of AI I have built a futures trading bot. It has been averaging about 150-600 a day with no red days. I know day trading sounds risky but it is something I have always been interested in. The GOAL is not to become rich but to create a small side income to supplement down months of reselling. I plan on giving this bot out for a very small monthly fee to my reseller community once I get it fully tested over the next couple of months.

科技立委葛如鈞 Ko Ju-Chun (@dAAAb) reportedThe US just added 115K jobs — nearly double the 62K expected — while Coinbase was offline for hours because AWS went down. The irony: Amazon just launched AI agent payments (AgentCore) on the same infrastructure that took the largest US crypto exchange offline. Meanwhile at Consensus, stablecoin execs hit the real wall: → MoonPay: "GENIUS was a permission slip — but how do you pay rent with stablecoins?" → Ripple: "Institutions won't move volume without top-tier regulation" → Paxos: "Privacy is unresolved — public chains expose everything" The product works. The infrastructure doesn't — yet. BTC ~$80K flat post-NFP. Fed chair transition to Warsh incoming. 10Y yield 4.37%. Stablecoins are the EV of finance: the motor runs, but the charging stations aren't built. #Stablecoins #AIAgents

L Ori (@AltmanLore18292) reported@BWellFolks @MidwesternDoc I would only use this brand- there can be issues with 3rd party sellers on Amazon (counterfeit). I would order directly from the DMSO store.
