  @eBay This is bullshit. You make people add a payment method to bid, but then you let them ghost and I have to wait 4 days? Either charge the damn card the second they win or don’t let them bid at all. Winning an auction should lock in the payment immediately. Fix this crap.

  @Schwartzcards2 @eBay Yep. Appears to be down across their entire system, even non-US eBay sites.

  @Mel248028 My luck has been terrible with this set (and tbh, it's been rough on the Pokemon side for minute for me lol)..... but I sold one of my TAG 10 Zards and decided to use the funds to buy a box. Bought the two Bright Fantasy boxes from selling some bulk lots on eBay. So, it's a win no matter what I hit for me lol

  A 24-year-old turned $180 of dead office PCs into a private AI lab that never sleeps. The rack sits next to his bedroom window. Blinds half-closed. A Starlink router balanced on top like a trophy. The main node is a Dell OptiPlex 7050. i5-6500T, 4 cores, 24GB of RAM. Companies threw these out by the pallet in 2021. He paid $60 on eBay. There are 3 more underneath. Plus 2 switches, 14 patch cables, and a monitor that only ever shows 1 thing: a terminal. Ubuntu 24.04. Uptime: 3 days, 31 minutes. Memory used: 330MB out of 23,896. That idle number is the clue. The boxes aren't idle. They're waiting. Every night at 2 AM the stack wakes up. One node scrapes. One node runs a local LLM that tags and sorts everything into his knowledge base. One node runs his agents the ones that draft his outreach, monitor 6 Polymarket positions, and ping his phone when a spread moves. By 7 AM the work is done and the fans spin down. His friends pay $200 a month for cloud subscriptions and rate limits. He pays $11 a month in electricity. No API bill. No usage caps. No company reading his prompts. Total build cost: $180 for the compute, $95 for the networking. Less than 1 month of the tools it replaced. The cloud rents you intelligence by the token. He owns his. It cost less than a pair of sneakers.

  I have sold over $12 million worth of high-end watches. Here’s the thing: I’m not in the watch business; I know nothing about watches. Hell, I don’t even wear a watch. This is a story of opportunity. Read along, and I can show you how I did it and how you can, too. I was buying consumer electronics returns from a company with which I had built up a ton of credibility over the years. I always bought everything they had. I always paid on time. I never complained about small problems. I knew the opportunity with them was good, and I didn’t want to screw it up. Opportunities handled well lead to more opportunities. After a few years of buying, I got a call from a guy in another division of this business. Let’s call him Bob. Bob: “Hey, John says you are reliable. We have a problem in another division, and I wonder if you would be interested in a different product line?” Me, as I utter the four most powerful words in my vocabulary: “How can I help?” It seems that Bob had lost a buyer of a unique product line: high-end watches. The company was worried about selling its customer returns to a new buyer. I wasn’t new. and I possessed a unique attribute: Trust I had put in the time, energy, and money to build a relationship with their consumer electronics division. Did I mention I know nothing about watches? I still don’t. But I figured I could learn. Step 1: Get the deal. The deals are the hardest thing to find. Money to buy and customers to sell to – easy. Well, easier. The challenge with this product line that I knew nothing about was that it was a firehose. An instant multi-million-dollar business that I had to open wide and take on with little knowledge. So what did I do? I went on eBay, naturally. I found every watch seller I could find and started reaching out to them. I spoke to 87 people before I got to one guy who didn’t think I was nuts. Dimitri had his partner fly out to my office the next day. I showed him some samples, and we agreed on a markup for my services. We shook hands on the deal. Dimitri sent a wire transfer, and I shipped him the product. We’ve done over $12M worth of business on that handshake. About that markup. Here’s another secret to success: let other people make money off you. Since I knew there was little risk, it was pretty passive, and the volume would be high, I didn’t need to make much on each item. I kept my take very small so Dimitri could put the time and effort into building a sustainable business. This allowed me to focus on my other businesses while this “side hustle” paid for my kid's private school, bought my cars, and more. The key takeaways here: Opportunities handled well lead to more opportunities. Finding the deal is the most important thing. The most powerful phrase in the world: How can I help? Give me a follow @ShannonJean if this post resonates with you.

  Challenged by Krill (@DominosJack) reported 7 minutes ago

  Over the course of multiple long form interviews discussing the activist bid for eBay there has been one highly relevant subject that has been completely avoided. This proverbial purple elephant in the room is of course Bed Bath and Beyond. At no point was Ryan asked if he learned anything from the BBBY activist campaign that may prove useful with eBay or if he’s concerned that a second high profile failure will tarnish his activist career moving forward or any number of relevant discussions regarding his experience with Bed Bath and Beyond. There is a 0% chance this was not by design. Ryan’s PR team of course demanded silence on this issue in return for the exclusive which, given his rising status in the investment world and on the social landscape, was a no brainer for everyone who took the interview. Why not just use this press blitz as an opportunity to put the BBBY rumors to rest once and for all. Surely there would be no conflict of interest in disavowing one’s affiliation with a dead company. In Ryan’s silence an orchestral crescendo of reemergence sings in the hearts of man and butterfly.

  @RiftboundGG Ew thats disgusting!! Ive not had that much issue with ebay yet. Their CS so far has been above and beyond helpful 3 out of 4 times in recent months. I did have a bad incident though where I was sent a cracked slab in paper envelope and for some reason they wouldnt refund me. The seller also had many reviews complaining of the packing causing damage in the space of a month.

  @OffDaHook35 It’s an eBay glitch. Happened to me twice. Very important that you check your listing before you hit send.

  herschel🧢 (@herschcox) reported 18 minutes ago

  @CardPurchaser first time eBay seller question. Does eBay not automatically give buyers tracking information? I got a request for a refund for a non delivery but when I looked it up it was clearly a USPS side issue. Was this guy scamming me or did I not provide the information?

  @avolteironica_ Yeah in America it’s a huge problem. Autograph resellers appear everywhere celebrities go & try to get them to sign pictures & other merch so they can sell it on eBay. They will literally push actual fans out of the way. They’re as aggressive & shameless as paparazzi.

  @Comedyorwat @ryancohen Jesus. Reading comprehension issues too. Fact 1 - he can’t finance the eBay deal today. GME doesn’t meet the bank financing requirements. Fact 2 - he wants to be judged by his actions not talk Fact 3 - given 1 he’s a hypocrite on 2 while chirping away in the media

  @MossutoNicholas @SlowNewsDayShow I haven't even looked into going to a junkyard for car parts for the past 15 years. Pain in the ***, we have no pick-a-part yards in my area, and I've never had trouble finding what I need on ebay or Marketplace.

  @Schwartzcards2 @eBay Looks like eBay's edge/CDN layer (WAF or bot-protection) is misconfigured or mid-deployment. I think its blocking legitimate traffic with a blanket 403 forbidden error, rather than the origin servers actually being down.

  @KrankyClown @pmtiegs You can get a 4gb for $40-50 and a 2gb is $20 The ram is worth about $15 And The cpu is worth literally $2 lol Realistically if you wanted to copy that PC on eBay you'd be spending probably like 130 But the main issue is that i3 will make it barely run windows now

  @LordCharizard33 Ya I feel that man. I've only tried like 4 releases now, and have been let down every time. **** is always sold out. What I don't understand is how people are able to do pre sales on eBay for these items when getting them is not guaranteed. I really think something is broken.

  EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reported 47 minutes ago

  Day 157 Total sales: $671.92 Buy cost (COG): $95.24 eBay earnings: $492.81 Net profit: $397.57 ROI: 417% 10 item day. One thing that's become obvious after documenting these daily results is that diversity is a strength. Today's sales included automotive parts, golf accessories, batteries, diagnostic tools, appliance parts, & outdoor equipment. 10 completely different products. 10 different buyers. If one category slows down, another usually picks up. That's one reason I rarely chase a single niche. I'd rather build an inventory that solves problems across dozens of categories than depend on one product line. Over time, that creates more consistent sales and reduces risk. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

  @norzemen @KimKatieUSA He did more than lie. I will take any law enforcement we can get these days. Im right there with ya man. Shits getting old when blatant laws being broke and we see zero mug shots. Absolutely pisses me off. I get in trouble if I dont pay taxes on my $601 eBay sales. I wish I knew whats going on but I have my suspicions. I think its all blackmail in the end. Maybe threats to family. Bribes.. all of the above. So like I mentioned,I will take what I can get. 🤙

  @eBay if I order something and the courier loses it for a week and, the new promised delivery date is so late that I have already had to purchase a replacement for the item I haven’t received, why is it my problem? Whatever happens now I am losing money and you are getting rich!

  @OffDaHook35 It’s been happening to me. I thought it was my phone. Seems like it’s an eBay app issue. I bet they don’t even know cause the photo is clear when you post it on the listers side.

  If you are just now catching on to the idea that people really do buy/sell MC & USDOT numbers on Facebook, Telegram, eBay, vibe-coded apps, etc., you are way behind. This was one of the first rabbit holes I went down. The number of people who have tried to tell me this is totally legal and there is nothing nefarious about it is very, very high.
