-
Eric the Red / Kelenic Collector (@FatherBreaks) reported@eBay when a seller chooses your ESE option and pays for it, it should come out at that time just like any other service one chooses to ship with. It’s annoying as hell to see my balance go down 2-3 day later and have to track which fee it was for

Mike Boysen (JTBD/acc) (@mikeboysen) reportedMost people never see the inversion coming. They see the crash. The coup. The empty bank account. The factory that will not ship. Then they analogize: more staff, more robots, more of last year’s stack. Innovators do the opposite. They stay in the problem until the cost curve breaks. PayPal ousted Musk in 2000 for pushing a rebrand and a Unix-to-Windows NT migration. He did not wage a public war. He stayed a shareholder. eBay paid $1.5 billion in 2002. His ~11.7% stake — about $180 million — funded SpaceX and Tesla. By late 2008 both companies were days from death. Three Falcon 1 failures. Tesla about to miss payroll. One last rocket. Flight 4 worked on September 28. NASA signed $1.6 billion in December. He put his remaining cash into a $20 million Tesla bridge that closed Christmas Eve. Analogical thinking said “stop.” Physics said “one more launch.” Reusable first stages. Manual labor where the robots jammed. 5,000 Model 3s a week after he ripped out the over-automated line and slept on the floor. 75% of Twitter’s headcount gone so the cost of running the network inverted. That is not grit as a slogan. That is inverting labor, capital, and infrastructure until unit economics work. Follow people who have innovated at least once. Not the ones narrating the next analog. I built a platform to help average people think like that before you commit the capital. More on that soon. This is 100% a real interview LOL

Simon What (@Whachazuck) reported@davidareader @yeehahboogie @eevblog Ebay seem to have bought the Inpost contract from Vinted, not been option for while on Vinted. Standard US monopoly their basic search is full of issues, zero innovation but buy up the competition, or their main postage method anyway Need to rename as eDropshipbay since 2004..

Danny Bennett (@RealDannyB) reportedLONG READ: Off-brand post, but as a longtime @Nike shareholder, this needs to be said. Nike used to be a company you could invest in and trust to run itself. Now the stock is trading in the high $30’s, a fresh 12-year low, down roughly 76% from its all-time high of $163.63 in November 2021. This didn’t happen overnight. It’s been a slow burn downhill. In 2020, Nike handed the company to John Donahoe, a former eBay and ServiceNow executive with a consulting background and no real history in sneakers or sport. The stock hit its all-time high under him in November 2021, but that wasn’t a product win, it was pandemic tailwinds. Lockdown spending and a digital sales boom carried the whole brand. Donahoe leaned into it, pulling back from wholesale partners like Foot Locker and Amazon to chase direct-to-consumer sales. It worked while the boom lasted. The second it ended, that same move handed Hoka, On, and New Balance the shelf space to take over. He spent the rest of his tenure cutting costs and squeezing profit out of old product instead of investing in anything new. On June 28, 2024, Nike’s stock fell 20% in a single day after weak earnings and guidance for a 10% revenue decline, its worst trading day in 44 years as a public company. It never really recovered. Nike has now erased roughly $200 billion in market value since its 2021 peak, the largest drawdown in the company’s history. Even Jordan Brand, the crown jewel, isn’t safe. Revenue fell from $8.7 billion in 2024 to $7 billion in 2026, two straight years of decline. Hoka went from $153 million to $2.6 billion in sales in eight years. On grew 285% in three years. Nike handed them the shelf space and gave people no reason to buy new. Stop putting bean counters and consultants in charge of a brand people love. Put product people back in charge. Open the SNKRS app right now. The Jordan 4 “Rare Air” Tour Yellow drops September 5th, a 20-year-old colorway from 2006, priced at $220. A shoe that’s already been made once, repackaged, made cheaper than its original release and marked up. Stop chasing what flippers on StockX think a re-release is worth. Price product for the people who actually want to wear it. Every dollar Nike hands to resale culture is a dollar it’s not making itself, and a customer it’s not building loyalty with. Nike has an entire team of engineers dedicated to fighting bots on SNKRS, blocking billions of fake entries every month just to protect launches like this. You wouldn’t need bot protection if you weren’t manufacturing the scarcity yourself, especially when a good chunk of these same releases end up marked down in outlets and clearance stores months later anyway. So what was the artificial scarcity even for? Elliott Hill spent 32 years at Nike, most of it running product, commerce, and marketing, before retiring in 2020. Now he’s back, cleaning up a mess a consultant-era CEO left behind. Even so, JPMorgan just downgraded the stock again this month, warning the pain from the turnaround won’t stabilize until fiscal 2028. Bringing back someone who actually gets the brand is the right move. But, it shouldn’t have taken a 76% collapse to get there.

Alison Scott 🐻 (@bnosilagm) reported@CalBearsHistory Every time these are brought out for the season count down I have to tell myself to stay away from Ebay. I really don't need another thing to collect.

brandon (@trancetheartist) reported@MTGSecretLair ngl that queue was nasty today - first issue since ordering from you guys. waited in queue for 3 hours just for it to sell out immediately after sales started again. multiple listings on ebay for over retail. kinda sucks :/

Chase Jordan (@goatcollect) reportedFollowing the clear confusion between labeling a jersey with a MEARS letter game used, I am hearing @eBay and @GoldinCo have finally decided to change their policies. No word on exactly what the shift is, but it is clear @eBay has recognized the liability created by selling objects as game used that their own internal team would clearly have reason to believe are not. Times have changed and credit to eBay for responding to it. Probably saved themselves from big issues down the road.

Kurt S. Altrichter, CRPS® (@kurtsaltrichter) reportedGameStop is about to post a near-record profit. Almost none of it came from selling video games. The company guided to $290 to $310 million in net income last quarter, up from $169 million a year ago. Roughly $238 million of that is a paper gain on its eBay stake, not its stores. Actual sales fell to about $790 million from $972 million, down 19%. A video-game retailer now earns more from a stock bet than from its business. Ryan Cohen even made a $56 billion run at buying eBay outright, and eBay called it neither credible nor attractive. The register is shrinking while the balance sheet plays hedge fund. The stock tells the real story. Shares slid from $22 to $18 over the past 3 months, and a near-record profit has not stopped the bleed. A trading gain does not repeat on a schedule. The store decline does. $GME

Dorian Muthig (@dorianmuthig) reported@RDKLInc Yeah… they don’t want to give you the working ones anymore, either. It’s starting to get so bad, even the repairable ones are sorted out first, too. Even on eBay, most “defective, for parts, not working”, are listed after repair attempts only, and they try to scam not disclosing
