  eBay Live featured vid still only on 80 active viewers/bidders. This system is a massive failure and there’s only a month or 2 left of no FVF. These sellers who have milked it. Won’t be there when the promotional period ends. Shame on these businesses for supporting this model. eBay Live is anti-business. It is everything business isn’t. There’s no money in it. It’s great for buyers. Terrible for businesses. My view will never change on this.

  @MrCapyBaraJr @OfficialPCMR What a nonsense comment. 90 tier cards always hold value. 4090 released 4 years ago for $1599. Now used 4090s go for $2300-$2400 on eBay. 5090 will not be going down to 3k but you can still assume it would to feel better about it

  @D1Tracey They're fascinating, the dolls house in the photo was put on eBay in error towards the end of the run, we spotted it as we put a low bid in to see if it was something we might buy, we're fans, but,the error was spotted and a fan came to a private agreement to buy it, they then..

  @eBayAU When are you going to fix this @eBay? Telling me it's a known problem and has been escalated doesn't really tell me anything.

  @Sammy_Agee Grill deflector just came off while driving down the road. Dealer says $940. It’s on eBay for $100 and takes 90 seconds to install with only 2 screws.

  Saved $900 by turning a dead office PC into a full NAS. A custom storage server with real capacity runs well past $1,000. The alternative: a used Dell Optiplex 7020, $50 off eBay. Intel i5-4570, 4 cores, 3.6 GHz, 8 GB DDR3, a 250 W PSU already inside. Storage came next. 2 Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDDs at $19 each. A 120 GB SSD for $10. Drive cost: $48. Total build: $98. TrueNAS SCALE went on top, free. 2 drives mirrored into 1 pool, 1 TB safe from a single drive failure. A dataset, an SMB share, a login, done. A 4.7 GB file moved at 90 MB per second, full drive speed with none of the subscription fees. Nextcloud replaced the cloud plan. A Java Minecraft server replaced the hosting bill. Plex replaced streaming. $1,000+ buys a box built to do exactly this. $98 buys an office PC nobody wanted. That's $900 saved, and it started as e-waste.

  @1Password Hi! This version does indeed make the login show up more reliably in most cases; it does, however, still fail when the username field on a website isn’t selected first. A good example, if you want to reproduce this, is eBay, which asks you to enter your password to sign in, but not always your username.

  @Veescoot Scott - this providing ALOT of value to your customers and the overall community. You are truly an OG on selling Veefriends on eBay. My observations on TCG,sales comps are way down considering I’ve seen a very rare Viking and burglar sell for $150 when a year ago that was a $450

  Bill Gates’ daughter has been caught up in a major fraud scandal that could land her in federal prison for up to 20 years. Phoebe Gates, the 23-year-old daughter of the world’s most famous billionaire, co-founded a browser extension called Phia that was marketed as a helpful “personal shopping assistant” designed to find better fashion deals for users while earning commissions the legitimate way. Instead, a Bloomberg investigation and internal Slack messages have revealed that the company was allegedly running a classic cookie-stuffing scheme, silently opening background tabs, forcing its own tracking cookies onto users’ browsers, and then claiming commissions on sales it never actually drove through fake or simulated clicks. What makes this especially damaging is that Phoebe was not in the dark about the practice. In a December message to her team she specifically asked them to “confirm auto pop for cookie drop is live on ALL sites… to confirm we are monetizing on all [gross merchandise volume],” while her co-founder continued pushing to keep the system active even after engineers raised compliance concerns. When the feature was finally disabled, Phia’s average daily revenue collapsed from around $80,000 to as low as $10,000–$28,000, and cookie stuffing reportedly accounted for 51% of the sales the company claimed credit for in a single month. Corporate attorney Ariel Givner has warned that this exact conduct is typically treated as federal wire fraud in U.S. courts, carrying a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison along with fines and restitution. There is already clear precedent: an affiliate marketer who ran a similar scheme against eBay (which ironically invested in Phia) was convicted and sent to federal prison. Phoebe has spent years insisting her startup would succeed with “no ties to my privilege or my last name,” yet the internal records now paint a very different picture of a company whose growth appears to have relied heavily on quietly siphoning commissions it did not earn. For a billionaire’s daughter who positioned herself as an independent entrepreneur, this scandal has suddenly become far more than a PR problem. -Kari Bundy - Health Activist 8͏m͏ ·

  @TheWorldClassBS It sucks, but I think this is a problem we created. People would go up, get 10x $50 autographs, and then immediately sell them on eBay for $100 each doubling their money. So the stars raised their price to $100, then people started buying 10x $100 autographs and sell them for $200. So the stars raised their prices to $200, then people started buying 10x $200 autographs and sell them for $400. So here we are... Only way to fix it is to find out who's buying these things for $400 and tell them to stop, and also don't buy the autographs to begin with. When these guys start showing up to conventions and nobody gets in their line, things will change really quick.

  People think Ryan Cohen has been doing a media tour. He hasn't. Every single interview has been filed with the SEC as a Form 425. That's not just PR. That's an official solicitation document targeting eBay's shareholders. And eBay's shareholder base is almost entirely institutional. So every time Cohen sat down on camera and said: "My circle of competence is e-commerce." "eBay is similar to Chewy." "Physical retail was learning on the job." "eBay is under earning." He was delivering a pitch to institutions, on the record, filed with the SEC. And the pitch is simple: I've proven twice that my marketplace model generates real margin without extraction. Chewy took Amazon's pet market share. $GME posted 17% operating margins on Power Packs. Both receipts are public. Now give me eBay and let me do it at scale.

  @tukikagemugen @thedailyrabbit_ I have a Motorola. I used to get LG phones. Yet... I STILL have to get my cases on Ebay & sometimes Amazon that no one else are carrying. I don't have a problem with it. I don't follow trends. I follow my intuition. It's not perfect. But it works for ME. Not their bank accounts.

  @benwegmann I’ve sold nine phones on Swappa and probably a dozen things on OfferUp and Craigslist over the years, I’ve never once had a problem. I’ve tried selling things on eBay TWICE and both times the seller attempted to scam me. eBay and PayPal are a cesspit

  @93rdmin @Gav_Griffiths The obsession with ebay and online selling was getting crazy. Shops were already run very short, and they started asking people to list 6-8 items per day on Gumtree and all this crap. Just shotgun approach. Management no real ideas about retail or how to fix core problems.

  @StraightFlorida I remember when eBay used to let people sell hurricane air in Tupperware for charity money, then the Karens had that shut down. Any sort of fun hurricane auction was a no go. People suck.

  👩‍🎨🎨Artists, I need advice - have you ever done an ebay studio sale to clear out some old paintings to make way for my newer stuff? My portfolio is bulging and I want to focus on painting bigger paintings and get rid of lots of my smaller paintings. Some are only post card sized or smaller ACEO. Others a bit bigger than A4. Should I sell my old little artworks as one bulk job lot or several smaller job lots? Or just put on sale with a drop down list and let people pick their own, ‘3 for £50’, that kind of thing? Bit concerned also that it devalues my art but also I really need a clear out! How do other artists handle this? And how do you not get carried away! I know what I’m like, I could end up selling things I regret selling! thanks

  Day 190 Total sales: $50.00 eBay earnings: $35.66 Buy cost (COG): $14.68 Net profit: $20.98 ROI: 143% Not every day is going to be a $500 or $1,000 profit day. Some days you'll have 1 sale. Some days you'll have none. That's just part of running an eBay business. The key is not letting a slow day affect what you do tomorrow. I could look at today and be disappointed or I can keep listing, keep sourcing, & trust the process that's produced over $52,000 in eBay earnings so far this year. The biggest mistake isn't having a slow day. The biggest mistake is letting a slow day cause you to stop doing the things that create the big days. Tomorrow is a new opportunity. On to bigger days. 💪📦

  @No_Pie_2109 As far as chewy, you couldn't invest with him because it was a private company he founded, which he then sold, and didn't become profitable until after he sold it. And as far as ebay, you couldn't know to buy when he bought and if you bought when the news broke you'd be down.

  @Prolotario1 Your 100 percent correct on all points Ariel. It's the law within FINCEN financial transaction.. People will scream, if you bought IQD from an individual or from ebay and no receipts, will only slow the exchange via investigation process and will decrease your exchange rate.

  @faintchirp @blairwithme I have no experience with Nikon gear, but do keep in mind that you’ll probably be charged sales tax on imports for eBay orders. On the plus side, if you’re buying from a Japanese camera store on there they’re very upfront on any possible issues and won’t be hiding any defects

  Most people would have taken the money and slowed down. Musk did the opposite. He put around $12 million into his next company, X. com, an online financial services business. X. com eventually merged with Confinity, which had created PayPal. In 2002, eBay bought PayPal for $1.5 billion in stock. Musk’s share was roughly $175 million. Instead of retiring, he put much of his money into three extremely risky ideas: SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity.
