  @just_cameroon @GardensHour I always had that problem (rarely could visit GCs - went mad when I did). Now I buy from nurseries on line (Ebay) and consider each purchase & usually plant on arrival then buy something else. Also search for what I want rather than impulse buy.

  @gotrice2024 You can get a dent puller on eBay for cheap and fix it that way

  eBay. I bought four or five and wanted to sew in laptop holder etc and just never got around to it. I’d be down to make them if people were interested

  California unsealed evidence today showing Amazon colluded with retailers like Walmart and Target to fix higher consumer prices. • Amazon pressured vendors to raise prices on competing websites to ensure no other retailer undercut its platform • Common vendors served as go-betweens to coordinate price hikes on sites including Walmart, Target, and eBay • Merchants faced penalties like losing the Buy Box or site suspension for offering lower prices elsewhere • Internal communications revealed Amazon officials vowed to help vendors hunt the price disrupters in the market

  @WeebyRevy My old OG XBox and PS2 had their lasers break. At that point, I sold them for dirt cheap. I imagine these conversions are often-times broken units bought for pennies on the dollar from EBay.

  @PlushSonicReal Whenever you see an almost broken 3DS being sold on eBay or Facebook, this is what the previous owner treated it like lmao

  @GoneAnon0 Ordered it off eBay this afternoon. I may or may not read the thing- the list of things I feel like I really should read is not short. But if people are going to go to this much trouble to stop me reading a book, it's worth $14 to preserve future access to that book.

  @VOC_ai Same pattern on eBay. Analyzed defect feedback across 50K listings and most "not as described" cases traced back to the same 4-5 fitment description fields. Fix the template, not individual tickets. On eBay, defects hit search visibility directly, so the cost shows up faster than a star rating drop.

  Having a bajillion tabs open and trying to do school work is terrible. “yeah let me look for this article” and then I click on two different websites about ehler danlos syndrome, Ives locg profile, Voltron Google Drive, and an eBay link before finding my stupid article

  @LottoLabs I just got one from eBay, was like 500 cad, and it seems like it’s faulty vram too, I’m looking too see where I can get the tools and I’ll try to fix it. Says error code 43, but BIOS seems ok

  @dreamworks2050 @sudoingX Around $8k–$12k total for a solid 8x 3090 node right now. GPUs: 8x used ~$650–$900 each on eBay = $5.2k–$7.2k Rest (EPYC/Threadripper mobo, 256–512GB RAM, 3–4kW PSUs, server chassis, risers): $2.5k–$4.5k Power hungry (3kW+ draw) and needs proper cooling. Rent an 8x first on Runpod/Novita (~$1.70/hr) to test your workflow before buying. Matches what you need for those 27B–31B agents.

  @Eman_8282 I’d fix it up and sell it on eBay. You get a pretty penny for it.

  eBay really messed up.. how you sell something and they keep the money on hold up to 31 days to gave the buyer time to make sure everything is ok.. the problem is in one month that buyer can destroy the product.. 3-7 days should be ok @eBay

  @FutureAZA @HBud69 I've had one for a couple of years from eBay (made in China). I recently found that if I press it down on its suspension the headlights flash and it makes a "vroom vroom screech" petrol driving noise. Ouch! I now know not to do that!

  Noisy (@noisyb0y1) reported 33 minutes ago

  Chinese student found a file on GitHub that changes everything. But first he bought 7 Mac Minis on eBay for $1,600 and stacked them in a tower on his desk. Neighbors thought he was building a mining server. He just dropped one file - CLAUDE.md - and connected all seven machines through Ethernet as one. OpenAI co-founder publicly wrote that Claude guesses instead of asking. Writes 1,000 lines where 100 would do. Touches code nobody asked it to touch. Forrest Chang read this and made a fix. Four principles in one file. 44,000 stars in a week. The student dropped it into the tower of seven Mac Minis and went to sleep. In the morning the system closed tasks a junior dev would take a week to finish. Claude didn't guess. Didn't overcomplicate. Asked before doing - not after breaking something. A 10-12 hour task - the tower closes it in 20 minutes. He won the Anthropic hackathon and made $26,000 without a team. $1,600 invested once. One file. Seven machines.

  Thanks a lot, jerk hole! I went looking for this book on eBay and I fell down a rabbit hole where I spent over $50 bucks on Mack Bolan novels.

  @eBay your ai is absolutely terrible. You closed a complaint case of mine about a purchase without even contacting me for context. Complete bullshit

  @GabeyCardStacks It’s not right. What kills me is how eBay can fix this and they don’t. Also it’s BS that eBay takes full 13% on shipping fees instead of just the 3% processing fee

  @RippinCityCard @georgeinthecord @CardPurchaser There are all sorts of dumb things that are against eBay rules. Usually it’s only an issue if it gets reported. A seller who pulls this crap is also likely to block and report the buyer, then complain on social media about how unreasonable everyone is

  Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported 48 minutes ago

  @RDKLInc @southscanner @eBay I did a sell similar on that listing to see what the seller had entered - 9 lbs, 20 x 20 x 12. If you plug that into the USPS retail postage calculator using the zip code for seller location & buyer zip in your screenshot, it does come out to $74.27 for the click & ship rate. So that means the eBay calculator is working correctly for the info provided. USPS has made some recent changes that cause the rates to go up pretty significantly depending on dimensions - for example that same 9 lbs in a 12 x 12 x 12 would only be $14.92. I'm guessing some of the sellers you're seeing with high prices may have historically padded their dimensions a bit in effort to avoid shipping adjustments after the fact & they may not realize it is affecting their pricing much more now than it may have in the past. There could certainly be other instances where the issue is an error on eBay's part but when it comes to something like this example, really the only thing eBay could do to address it is to maybe have a warning advising sellers to review their listings for correct weight & dimensions - or to consider adding other shipping methods, like the flat rate options you mentioned. Ultimately though it's up to the seller to make sure they are entering correct info & to decide which shipping options they want to offer.

  I've abandoned my Fakebook account. I deleted my original FB account in 2020 when censorship was slamming down. I went back in 2022 for my eBay stuff but ended up in an endless loop so in Dec of 2024 I abandoned it. I need to get on there and completely delete it.

  @IntlStacker Or better yet, stop buying on eBay altogether. That's where people are getting fleeced with these scams. Just stick to buying from licenced, reputable bullion dealers and you won't encounter this problem.

  Hey @AskeBay @eBay, check your DMs. I sent everything for Order 02-14182-12220 but you guys just left me on read. I have a swollen battery here (FIRE HAZARD) and Marc already approved the manual refund (Transcript 169268534005). Stop ignoring a safety issue and finish the refund.

  Hey @eBay, your support is a loop of broken promises. 11 days ago, a rep promised a refund for a confirmed False Tracking Scam. Now your bot blocks every attempt to follow up. Is "Buyer Protection" just a myth to keep fees coming in? 🚩 #CustomerService #eBayScam
