  @eBay i’ve already done this, and ran into “ Technical difficulties “ when using the call me feature. I need an actual agent asap, because this was made in error. I have nothing that violates any policy as i’ve read everything on the Policy page.

  As most of us know, there have been plenty of people opening and selling 30th anniversary product early across Whatnot and other platforms. Over the past week TPCi has decided to put their foot down, specifically with sellers on Ebay. Several sellers have been contacted by Ebay and informed that their early listings for raw Pokemon cards from the 30th anniversary set have been taken down. Ebay claims the listings were in violation of their stolen product policy. I wonder if TPCi will go after Whatnot themselves and other platforms to root out the source of the problem....

  Not sure who needs to hear this but you can spend $100,000+ a month just using Amazon as your source of inventory. You can do this at 40%+ ROI. You can beat section 3s and account health problems. You can sell your inventory on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Whatnot, TikTok, or locally. If you’re an Amazon seller you can also get a complete P&L, cash flow analytics, ungating support, reimbursements, product monitoring, replen dashboards, FBM tracking, order tracking, and more. For free, then $3 a day. You can be as weird as me and do it all from your phone if you’d like. We are building the most complete software package publicly available. Taking no profits out. Doubling down on team and partnerships.

  @OffDaHook35 Sold some slabs at LCS today and narrowed my pc down to a small box. I have a 2000 card lot on eBay to sell the rest. A lot are cards from packs I ripped this year. LCS wouldn’t even look at them

  @thewebbie @amazon The fluctuating delivery times I can live with; I just expect that as a result of the many variables inherent in online shopping. The packaging quality, however, is a big problem. Amazon built its sales volume on cut-rate shipping deals with USPS and UPS that other retailers couldn't match. That could hold out unless -guess what- we suffer an inflationary period driving up energy and labor costs. Now they can't afford to pay for proper boxes, packing, and skilled workers to sort & pack properly. (For anyone with an eBay side hustle you know that's actually quite a skill). So I concur that the amount of large items shipped in cheap envelopes is increasing, meaning we get more broken and missing stuff. Amazon will keep doing this until the cost of refunds and returns overwhelm the packaging savings...and I fear the end of the "free shipping" era is near.

  🚨 SOS Card Peeps! Need some help ASAP please. 🚨 I received an offer on My Acuff 1/1 card on eBay. The guy offered me a fair price and is now negotiating with me…I’m totally fine with that, but in our chat (on eBay) the user name keeps changing…when I click on the first name at the top of the chat it seems like he is a legit seller/buyer. When the other name pops up, it says “error” Is someone trying to scam me or is this some kind of issue with eBay’s messaging?!? Thanks in advance!

  TL;DR Sales down, profits up, cash lower because they turned the eBay options into real shares. • Sales: $780–800M vs $972M last year. Drop is mostly Switch 2 anniversary, store closures, and selling France. • Operating income: $150–170M vs $66M. Core operations got a lot more profitable. • Net income: $290–310M vs $169M. Includes ~$238M eBay gain, minus ~$75M digital-asset loss. • Cash: $5.05–5.07B vs $8.69B last year. Cash fell because they converted the eBay derivatives into 43.4 million eBay shares, now worth about $4.95B. • Full results drop September 8.

  @Pacho9_3 It looks like eBay just took down another seller of the 30th pre orders. Seems only seasoned sellers like footballpete and a few others are actually safe. I think I’ll avoid posting 30th eBay links regardless moving forward until September 16th

  The most reliable way to misread an earnings report is to start at the bottom line. $GME just posted preliminary net income up roughly 78% on net sales down roughly 19%. Both numbers are real. Only one of them is about the business. The quarter, company figures: -net sales: $780M to $800M, vs $972.2M a year ago -net income: $290M to $310M, vs $168.6M -operating income: $150M to $170M, vs $66.4M The bridge from falling sales to rising profit is one line. Roughly $238M of gains on an eBay derivative asset and an equity investment, less roughly $75M of digital-asset losses. about $163M of pre-tax marks. For scale: that eBay exposure is carried at about $4.947B. the company books about $790M of sales in a quarter. when the portfolio is that big, the income statement is partly a report on the portfolio. Credit where due: operating income more than doubled. that is a bigger percentage jump than the net income line everyone quotes. smaller, tighter, better-run retailer. real progress. not the headline story. Keep this part: -net income up while revenue is down: find the non-operating line first. it is usually one line, and it is usually named -size the securities book against the operating result. a $5B position swamps a sub-$200M quarter, in both directions -falling sales with improving operating income is a cost story. real, but a different story from the headline I am fully invested, and none of this changes that. guidance direction and price reaction have been disagreeing all earnings season. last Thursday five of seven reporters raised guidance and four of the seven closed lower. reading the price as the verdict on the numbers is the error. The case against: I may be underselling the operating turn, which more than doubled at every point of the guided range. and these are preliminary figures. no call is scheduled, and complete results are due September 8. $GME $EBAY

  @Oscvr9_ Hello! Best way to price sealed is to refer to eBay last solds for sealed - do not count any unsealed. Often I find issue with sold items under “best offer” and the listed price being the sold price. For this reason I always use 130point to get most accurate prices w/ offers.

  GameStop 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

  Just bought 180 tested video games across generations for about $2.50-$3 / game. The previous batch was $2/game. Sounds crazy when you can see on eBay some of these only selling for $6-8. But I also see something that made me question this. 52 minutes south of me a video game store exists that sells these games for at least $20+ The same games you’d comp on eBay for much less. Why? Because it’s hard to trust random sellers and in this niche I’ve see people want to buy from people they like, people they trust and people they vibe with. Therefore I’m buying a disc refurbishment machine and offering a “warranty” to my future customers where if a disc stops working, we’ll fix it to the best of our ability. I’m also packaging games with the consoles we test and increasing the prices and will have a branded website off of marketplace platforms. Does this take reselling to the next level? Yes. Will it be difficult for me? No. It’ll actually be quite fun and we’ll act a little bit like game informer for retro games. If it doesn’t workout? Cool. If it does? That’s a fun way to resell.

  Designed and sold my own bike parts on eBay First £1k online Absolutely zero clue what I was doing I just saw a space for a product, knew how to get stuff 3D printed, and built the product I wanted for myself - Ordered 3D printed parts for ~£7 - Final assembly + packaging ~£2 - Sold for £35 bosh Only shut it down bc a friend (competitor in the industry) asked me if I had insurance Spent a whole day phoning up insurance companies None of whom offered to cover me And bc the bike part was related to steering… I bottled it and shut down the biz (Didnt fancy my chances getting sued over an untested product if one of my buyers lost his teeth in a 1v1 with the floor) Boy oh boy that was a fun summer
