  @not_airspeed Refuse to use them for anything I buy from eBay or elsewhere. Used to be Hermes, aka Herpes - just changed their name. Had stuff stolen and broken by them. No more.

  @SudStars05 Only problem is you have to deal with eBay users like Greg Fines buying up everything that’s actually decently priced so they can scalp it

  @DrAnnieHickox @AhmadRehanKhan @DrLadeSmith I was going to say why don't the NHS App new idea of ai triage just link up with ebay so people can order direct. Cut out the need for anyone else to be involved. Absolutely not an advocate but this how farcical the safety issues are .

  PCIFIC is also expanding beyond the marketplace itself with PCIFIC Safeguard, our browser extension. We are optimising for eBay first. The idea is simple: PCIFIC should help buyers and sellers wherever they already are. For buyers, the extension appears directly inside the eBay listing page. You do not need to open a clunky popup, copy a URL, or paste details into another tool. PCIFIC renders inside the eBay UI, near the buying decision. When you click Review with PCIFIC, the extension reviews the visible listing details, seller signals, reviews, condition claims, item description, returns information, and listing context. It then gives you a plain-English report. It can highlight things like: • Vague condition wording • Missing proof • Unclear accessories • Suspicious listing history patterns • Seller signal concerns • Product details that may confuse buyers • Questions worth asking before paying PCIFIC Safeguard is a decision-support tool. It surfaces patterns, explains risk signals, and helps buyers ask better questions before spending money. One example is listing history. Sometimes a listing can show a large number of sales, which creates trust. But if the listing was previously used for a cheaper item and later changed into an expensive device, that sold count may not mean what the buyer thinks it means. PCIFIC Safeguard looks for patterns like that and explains them clearly. The extension also gives buyers a score, a simple status such as Looks safe or Check first, and a copyable message they can send to the seller. For sellers, the extension works inside the eBay listing flow. When you are creating a listing, PCIFIC can show fee guidance directly in the UI, so you understand what eBay may take before you publish. It also adds a Review with PCIFIC button for sellers. This reviews your draft listing from a buyer’s point of view. It checks whether your title, description, condition notes, price, and trust signals make sense. For example, if your title says the item is in good condition but your description suggests heavy wear, PCIFIC can flag that. If buyers may want battery health, warranty information, proof of reset, accessory details, or clearer photos, PCIFIC can point that out before the listing goes live. The extension also saves review states between sessions. So if you reviewed a listing two days ago and come back to it later, PCIFIC remembers that. You do not need to regenerate the same review again. This matters because marketplace buying is not always instant. People compare listings, leave tabs open, come back later, message sellers, and sleep on decisions. PCIFIC Safeguard is built around how people actually shop. The bigger vision is not only eBay and not only tech. Tech is the first category because it has obvious trust problems: IMEI checks, serial numbers, battery health, device locks, specs, repairs, warranties, and hidden condition issues. But the same idea can apply to watches, trading cards, collectables, fashion, cars, and other categories where buyers need help understanding risk and trust. PCIFIC started as a UK tech marketplace. But the bigger mission is becoming clearer: PCIFIC helps people make safer, clearer marketplace decisions before money changes hands. And with tools like findr, buildr, PCIFIC Checkup, and PCIFIC Safeguard, we are not just trying to make another marketplace. We are building the tools that marketplaces should have had already. Our philosophy is simple: wherever friction exists, we look for a way to reduce it. If AI is the right tool, we use AI. If a simple button, QR code, manual review, form, verification flow, or buyer checklist solves the problem better, we use that instead. The point is not to make everything automated. The point is to make buying and selling feel easier, safer, and clearer for normal people.

  @idealideas The easiest wealth explosion is if 3 or 4 investors bought the rest of $IEP silently with no filing. 3 investors with 4.9% wouldn't have to file anything and there would be zero way for short sellers to ever fully close out. They would have to do it slow and buy in during post dividend price dips, but they could totally gobble up the rest. Then keep acquiring until someone notices and it is too late. Then use squeezed shares as collateral for loans to buy eBay if you still wish. You would still own over 100%, and wouldn't sell any shares as you us them to buy more stuff.

  @AlanAre63530701 It's whatever, I try not to bring personal life problems onto this account so maybe that's why people think it's all just hunky dory for me. I'll just sell off some more things on eBay so I can afford to go out

  Every minute your prices are stale, a competitor takes the sale. Built CompeteIQ to fix that — it watches competitors across Amazon, eBay, and Allegro, then reprices your catalog automatically via API. No spreadsheets. No manual updates.

  @mimibunvt I got a used headset on ebay for like $100 and it worked pretty well for me for a long time (the only issue is that the left controller stick has drift lol) But yeah it would be really fun to do, I hope you can find a nice headset someday if you do get one 🙏

  CHINESE DEV MADE $487,000 RUNNING LLAMA 405B ON A $580 EPYC CHIP AMD ONLY SHIPPED TO AZURE AMD EPYC 7V13, 64 cores, 128 threads. 512GB of pulled DDR4 ECC at $91 a stick. Supermicro server board for $340. All of it stuffed inside a gaming case on his desk. Most builders think 405B needs an H100 rack. He ran the whole model on a socket that used to run Bing. Pause at 1:58 — the EPYC chip sitting bare with a "made in Malaysia" stamp on the heatspreader. Azure decommissioned this chip. A guy on eBay put it under a desk. Full build in the video below.

  CHINESE DEV PULLED $2,140,000 RUNNING AI ON 200 DEAD LAPTOP BOARDS HE BOUGHT FOR $27 EACH Intel Core i5-10210U. 4 cores, 8 threads, 15W TDP. Whiskey Lake, 2019. Salvaged from broken IdeaPads on Yahoo Auctions. Most makers wait for a used 3090 to appear on eBay. He soldered a rack of laptop guts and let it hum. Pause at 0:12 — Core Temp reading 15 watts across four cores at 100% load, no case, no fans. The moat isn't a datacenter. It's a spool of dead laptops. Full swarm in the video below.

  @Nortier Psa also controls the hobby market I find it very weird that as soon as they shut down all these service levels all of sudden every seller on eBay is selling every Psa card for 2x times or 3x times of comp prices I even saw some sellers have their slabs at 4x times of comps

  @PeterB585337060 @Rainmaker1973 Yeah - but we got people interested in "Retro Tech" nowadays. Frankly a good % of flat screens can be repaired if no visible damage (cat knocked it over, broken screen) pretty cheaply and FAR less dangerously...still ONLY a pro should. But everyone just buys new. CRT's are more likely to knock you across the room and/or burn off a tiny hunk of flesh than kill you. But some people have weak hearts and it's at the edge of the voltage/types that can cause a heart attack. I don't want authorities going around trying to destroy them if some person does a stupid... CRT's are getting a market back but most/all the places to make new ones have been shut down. Usually, they CAN be repaired a few times to working before dying. Not going to list the signs/solutions here I'd type a book. Again better to try to recycle them to a pro or if into Retro stuff oneself pay to have a legit tech look at it. The last models were giant ones, 32 inch and higher, total dream for kids who had N64s and Dreamcasts to play with. Worth a few $ for a diagnostic then repair if feasible. AND if they find a pile in an estate sale or something, check they are working, might make decent $ on Ebay and make some people happy. Myself I like playing ATARI on a GIANT Flatscreen TV. My Aunt had a projection screen and warned me and other relatives NOT to put the Atari into it - said it'd wreck it and we'd have to mow her lawn and do YEARS of chores to make up for it... And we respected her so we never tried it. Now a flatscreen BIGGER than her $8K setup (NOT adjusted for inflation) is not $400 in my rural big box stores during Black Friday/Christmas... And yes I play ANCIENT games on it! And newer ones. There's some suck like I did play with lightgun games but... But otherwise I do NOT idolize the past though I have fond memories of it. ----Again TL/DR... 1 - let a PRO with experience and the burns/scars to prove it risk his A$$ on it and be PAID for it. 2 - You can FIX most CRTs a few times 3 - I hope there's a retro market like how people purchase NEW LPs (plastic sound music discs) and get NEW music made in LP, Cassette, Mini-Disc format for the niche... Not a "Full return" but a solid mini niche.

  Ogg's Cards (Jon Ogg) (@OggsCards) reported 42 minutes ago

  @GoldLineGambler @eBay @CardPurchaser There is another angle here. If you don’t like someone’s shipping fee don’t bid or buy from them. Thats what I do. And if someone asks why my shipping is more it’s because it’s an hour or more round trip to ship cheaply via USPS because they shut down both satellite locations.

  Justin Stirewalt (@JustinStirewalt) reported 43 minutes ago

  @zynprops The seller responded to me and would have worked with me. I apologized and got the card as it still wasn't going to break the bank. (See my quote tweet). But, again. I learned a valuable lesson to slow down. I've been on eBay since 2001 & never made this mistake.

  Multi-channel sellers are losing margin to slow repricing and rigid rules. Built PricePilot to fix that. AI agents monitor your listings across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Google Shopping, reprice in real time, and send you nightly profit reports.

  @sunnyhilltrader @CardPurchaser I just recently had my first issue with a card. I shipped it. You could see that. Then it just sat in PA. The buyer reached out, I contacted eBay, and I basically gave them verbatim of what eBay told me. They got the refund, I was protected because it was shipped. They still gave positive feedback when the card did need up coming. The convo between the buyer was simple and easy not arguement or anything.

  @QueenKaylaleesi @Billydjdog Oh I know. I’d tell those people to buy the eBay one and stop bothering me. But establishing a price at the counter when I pull something someone overlooked in a back issue bin is a good way to lose me. My LCS will usually offer me a better price if I even show interest in a book

  AJC claims gacha mechanics will continue to revolutionize the game of collectibles and TCGs. "If you try to like trade these assets in the real world, it sucks" "I go to target to go buy Pokemon sold out, run over to Best Buy sold out. Go to my local card shop and it’s marked up like 30% over retail price. So I go on eBay, next thing I know I actually bought a scam listing. Wasted days and time and money" "Let me just go pull up Collector Crypt, spin the gacha a couple times, see what I get. Lot simpler process, lot easier, makes it far more accessible. I can trust and verify like hey they actually hold these assets, here’s like a tokenized receipt" "Putting these assets on chain is a literal 200x improvement over existing market structure, which is massive right" "The gachas are kind of the Trojan horse for that. These gacha companies are bringing the cards on chain and they’re the ones doing the magic. They solved the cold start problem and they're gonna enable a lot more interesting use cases"
