  This point by @Asmongold is relevant for all digital media. I purchase ebooks mostly from Kobo bc I can strip the DRM for backups, but Kindle owners can’t do the same anymore. Their ebooks aren’t actually theirs, and Amazon can update the story content on you or even remove the ebooks just like Sony recently removed 550 movies from user libraries. Remember when Amazon removed purchased copies of 1984 from user libraries in 2009? Let’s circle back to gaming and consider the second hand NSW & NS2 market. The Switch is now seen as physical media’s main defender, yet a used game off eBay can trigger Nintendo to block your console’s online access if the prior owner ripped and shared it. Or GFCs. Yes, they can be traded between friends and resold legally, but they will always be a dongle that needs authorization before it will play. Same with game Nintendo licensing in general. I can’t tell you how many times I couldn’t play my legally purchased Pokémon game on my legally purchased Switch Lite bc a family member was using the family NS2 with my linked account at the same time. (You can fix that particular annoyance, but Nintendo doesn’t make it intuitive.) Yes, having physical editions of games is important, but licensing with DRM benefits corporations, not consumers. It means we don’t own what we purchase, even if we hold it in our hands.

  @Hobby_News_Plus @eBay I haven’t bad any holds since really I first started an account like 10 years ago. That’s odd. I’m having no issues on my end. Is the 25k from a single sale? Maybe it’s something in their system to auto hold a massive sale in case of discrepancy

  @JeremyMVisser This is actually horrendous. All cheap plastic jackets , the fit will be terrible and quite lacking. Using eBay will get you much further. I would strongly discourage buying Amazon clothes, like a jacket for $50 that is alpha sizing. Waste of money.

  My Galaxy XR found a new owner! Was quite a lot of people who wanted to get it (more than i thought) But, since i’m usually supa worried if people know what they buy, do they understand possible issues and does it fit them or not - basically gave headset twice to completely random people without any cash to try it out first. Tho! Both appeared to be VRC users, one i met in person at my place (they even had a friend they were talking to about my offer on ebay, who recognized my real name and said hello) and with another one who lives in another city we’ve talked in vrchat first, then i’ve sent them the headset and meow meow, i got some cash few moments ago, they decided to keep it :3. buuuut, all of that money were already invested into another thing, wasn’t keeping it for too long 🥲

  eBay is fundamentally broken. I just don't seem to be able to sell my car. People bid, they win, they find where the car is, they decide they are ill or stupid or just corrupt and ghost the sale process and I have to cancel and start again. This will be the 5th listing.

  @SavvyTamz_57 I bought a Bissel because my vacuum is heavy and I didn’t want to carry in up and down the stairs. It works well, sucks up the dog hair, which I have a lot (we have an Aussie) and is light. I have an LG stick vacuum, it works, but I am always buying parts off ebay for repair.

  @RetroDerezzed I know what you mean there. My mother ordered three 256gb cards for her security cameras that I installed yesterday. Sadly not knowing she ordered them from ebay and got send 'lenovo' cards, obvious fakes which the camera reported a problem with and the pd also had issues. I found some on Viking but the prices were so insane she had to settle for 64GB. Ok good enough for 2 weeks storage of footage but still, it was only a few years ago I bought a bunch of 512 GB cards for my ODE's and they were around the same price £30 or so. AI and data centers (read survailence centres) have a heck of a lot to answer for.

  @pedr_____0___m @LogicSnse @stupidtechtakes I’d rather be shot than use an Ideapad ever again. The build quality on these are absolutely terrible. Don’t ask how many of these I’ve seen with busted hinges. Also, eBay probably isn’t the best metric to be using here.

  @SleeperMLB @SleeperSTL Perfect stage for a market that's gone quiet. Jordan Walker's cards have cooled off hard, just 30 eBay tracked sales at a $34 average this past month, down from 159 sales at $48 back in the spring. Still a former top-100 prospect with a $1,500 top sale on the board. A Derby moment is exactly the kind of catalyst a sleepy market like this wakes up on.

  After seeing the book Chains of Sea explode in value on sites like eBay because of @LueElizondo, it is now starting to go back down in price and there are a good amount of copies available. If you were holding off on buying one when they were all around $80 it looks like there are now copies available for $30 or less.

  Pokemon create shell companies like MJ HOLDINGS and sell things near MSRP on TCG player + eBay to keep prices down. When something goes too high, drop 1000 ETBs, Market dips. Since, you know anyone can manipulate TCGplayer. Manipulate it for good baby.

  Tuomas Holmberg breaks down how @Collector_Crypt is changing the game by compressing settlement times and cutting out the middleman. ​"If you want to rotate from modern to vintage cards without getting wrecked, you're paying 13% in fees out the gate. Then the auction takes 7 days, and eBay holds your money for weeks. How are you supposed to buy the next thing?" ​"But with Collector Crypt and what we're building, you can go in and sell a card for $10,000. Once that settles, you have that money within a few seconds, and then you could go and buy something else." ​"If you're in our Discord, we have a trustless swap, it's free. You find a buyer, we don't take anything on that. That's all up to you in the negotiation. You don't have a middleman there taking 2% of every trade." "We want people to go into our Discord, find deals, and negotiate without having to pay. If you list it on our marketplace, we only take 2%. Even if you do that, it's very cheap."

  @CardsMax For me it just seems super lazy and should be an easy problem to fix. Like your first thought when you open a card from eBay authentication shouldn’t be why is my card sliding out the top. But I know you are right about most of the time there being no damage.

  @MorgenHatton @gamestop @ryancohen GameStop writes off the game and donates it. Someone steals the game. Then sells it on eBay through GameStop. Then eventually whoever bought the game trades it in for a small GameStop credit and GameStop eventually writes the game off and donates it. Infinite Money Glitch!🚀🎊🎉

  You can't watch competitor prices 24/7. But your competitors can. Built PricePulse to fix that. Monitors Amazon and eBay around the clock, automatically adjusts your prices, sends you daily intelligence. So you're not reacting to price moves—you're making them.

  @ThePPseedsShow Agreed, 6 years holding is long enough. We’ve done our part it’s time for some ******* action. We’ve missed out on a lot of other investments for trying to fix the system. I believe we win in the end but damn it sucks not to have more clarity other than the pursuit of eBay.

  @262Peterson @CardPurchaser They (many others) need to be banned from eBay or EBay goes auto pay only. I also know others that seller canceled by a fulfilled order need to have the same thing happen. The problem is eBay needs users/members.

  @analogalok I’m currently reading the llamacpp GitHub. Trying to learn some of the flags. Hopefully I can try a few tonight after work. The server and gpu are all used off eBay. Thankfully I had 128gb ram to use. But everything was about a grand for each component. I thought when I bought it, I could run one large moa via my hermes, and several subagents. But without a special custom made nvlink for the v100’s, I don’t think that’s a viable option how I thought. So the new plan will be to use what fits per card, and each model will get a dedicated gpu. If I can find a nvlink to atleast couple two cards, I will try again combining cards. But the speed was unusable slow in my testing. Took over an hour for one prompt completion of a basic task with 3-4 moa at 256k. I ran qwen3.6:35bq8, qwen3.6:35ba38q8, qwen3.6:27bq8, as well as gemma4:12bq8 and gemma4:31bq8. I tried bf16 variants as well. My origional goal was to have a large moa, then several subs. After receiving the hardware, I ran into limitations on speed instantly

  @catarinaaba @DouglasWei43233 @USPS Unfortunately usps is the nost reliable mail service in the sense of getting your package from a to b in a timeley manner and without it being tampered with, but they have terrible customer service and if you dont know exactly what youre doing it is a nightmare to get any service from them. I sell on Ebay and i dont even wait in line at the usps because i know how to prepay and print all of my own labels and i just drop my packages off at the package drop off while the normies in line stare at me all pissed off because i know how the usps works and they dont.

  Ever wonder how the card market shifts after a new set drops? Tuomas Holmberg breaks down the "FOMO effect" on early card grading vs. what happens when market efficiency actually takes over. ​"A brand new set comes out, people are very excited for the chase cards in the set. The first PSA 10 on eBay might sell for $4,000, you can go in and get an immediate grade with PSA by paying extra for it. You could go and pay 200, 300 bucks to get a card graded super fast." ​"Turn it around and then you could be the first one to sell it. And because somebody wants to say, 'Oh my god, I got the first one!', you have that FOMO effect, so you're able to sell these cards really fast." "But then, of course, you have market efficiency and everybody who submitted that card at a more value tier, slower tier, is gonna wait a few months to get it." "Often you see some of the top hits and top pulls, they start out at a ridiculous number and then they slowly go down over time." "And then, if you're a collector, that's where you start to buy it. You start to try to pick that bottom and then you'll see the price of the card go up over time."

  🚨 The Air Bag That Became a Grenade: A Deadly China-Linked Pipeline Inside American Cars! A device built to save lives is exploding into shrapnel inside used cars across America. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says replacement air-bag inflators marked “DTN60DB” have been linked to 10 deaths and three severe injuries in 13 crashes. Instead of cushioning drivers, the inflators ruptured and fired metal fragments into their faces, necks and chests. The crashes should have been survivable. One victim, Eui Seok Kang, lost half his lower jaw after a replacement air bag bought on eBay detonated during a 2023 Texas crash. A 22-year-old Florida mother, Destiny Byassee, was killed after another replacement unit exploded in her Chevrolet Malibu. The danger is not confined to one careless repair shop. It runs through a murky aftermarket of salvaged vehicles, online sellers, counterfeit automaker labels and parts likely imported illegally from China. Investigators found that some aftermarket inflators had entered the country concealed inside toys and dollhouses. Once installed, the parts become nearly invisible. They are not linked to a vehicle identification number, so a standard recall search may reveal nothing. In April, NHTSA banned the sale and import of inflators bearing the DTN60DB identifier, the agency’s first vehicle-equipment ban in more than two decades. The Chinese manufacturer associated with the marking says it does not sell in the United States and argues that the parts may be counterfeits. That defense does not make American drivers safer. It exposes the deeper problem: an opaque supply chain where responsibility disappears while lethal products keep moving. This is what counterfeit commerce looks like when the fake is not a handbag, but an explosive charge inches from a driver’s face. Owners of used, rebuilt or previously crashed vehicles should obtain a history report and have any replacement air bag inspected by a qualified technician. Do not open the steering wheel yourself.

  TCG Outpost breaks down meeting a buyer who allocated $3,000,000 cash budget strictly for Dodgers Luffy Dons. We go to the hotel. Homie is posted up at the bar with a coffee, a security guard, and a guy with a duffle bag full of cash next to him. He had been there all day. People were coming and going, coming and going, selling him all their cards. When we asked how much he was buying, he said his goal was $3 million dollars allocated just to Dodgers Luffy Dons. By himself. I am looking at this guy like, who are you, bro? He was paying $900 dollars cash a pop, so he is not even trying to lowball. He wants them that badly. They were selling on eBay for 1.1 to 1.2 at that time, and he is offering $900 dollars cash. To me, the price was right for that. We sold half of them basically. We doubled up, recuperated $10.8K, and now the rest we are just sending off to grading and we are just going to let it ride.
