  @WallStreetApes cant fix your own , or repair broken stuff off ebay if they never let you own it. Stop using it and use something else , im sure android has something etc

  Back to eBay at least there no one is selling people the only problem is that I don’t get my sell notifications people buy and I just see messages saying have to refund for not shipping the goods 😴 while Vinted you have the notification instantly but eBay I always end refunding

  @MGDTcards No real issues honestly. Only graded, only about 4 sellers on eBay and I limit the players. There’s quite a few guardrails, but since it’s a hot market the inventory is very liquid. I personally would only do graded since it’s a standardized system but no reason why it can’t do any card

  @xEPluribusUnum @EvangelionShots don’t use amazon unless it’s amazon japan, it’s safer to buy from japanese individual resellers only issue would potentially be shipping costs but i enable the « free international shipping » filter on ebay

  @RockSol1d_ Sorry to hear that. I had this exact problem recently. If you’re lucky you can buy/swap an individual solenoid. If not you might need to buy the whole module. Check out aftermarket parts on eBay. They’re very reasonable, and either swap it yourself or get the mechanic to do the install.

  @WaterPlantGuy @CardPurchaser Give it another week. eBay tracking has went back to being jacked up this week. I’ve got issues with cards coming in and going out. Ask for a few more days. Sadly I’ve had cards take weeks to get to me after being marked as delivered

  Hi @AskeBay — I need urgent escalation on Case 5374687210. eBay ruled against me stating I "didn't provide tracking in time" — but my eBay message records show I provided signed delivery confirmation 19 days before the buyer even opened the case. I have official Chunghwa Post CN08 documentation and a Poste Italiane signed receipt. This is a factual error in the ruling, not a policy disagreement. Frontline CS and the disputes team have both refused to engage. I need this reviewed by someone with actual authority. Seller ID: Rolf_Racing_Ver.2. How do I get this escalated properly?

  @MrUnloved1s And I’m talking from experience because @ebay sold me back to back fakes of these and when I showed them proof their answer was to just sell them to someone else back on eBay I also talked to so many people that had the same issue with this shoe

  Right now, I have the choice to buy $60+ digital games or physical discs at walmart, resold on ebay, or discounted on amazon for $25 or less. Not to mention I’ll actually own the game and have the ability to share it with my gf or resell. This is vanishing.. ******* terrible

  Pierre Omidyar built eBay over a 3 day holiday weekend while working a full time job. He was just testing a theory. He was born in Paris in 1967 to Iranian immigrant parents who had come to France for graduate school. His family moved to the United States when he was 6, settling in Washington DC where his father completed a medical residency. He grew up in Maryland, became obsessed with computers in high school, and spent as much time as possible on his school's single computer terminal. He studied computer science at Tufts, graduated in 1988, and spent the early 1990s working at Bay Area tech companies while building side projects in the evenings. He was deeply curious about how people interacted economically with each other through technology. Over Labor Day weekend in 1995 he wrote the code for a simple online auction platform while holding a full time job. He wanted to test one idea. Could you create an efficient marketplace by letting buyers and sellers set prices together in real time? He listed a broken laser pointer himself just to see if the functionality worked. It sold for $14.83. He emailed the buyer to confirm the item was broken. The buyer wrote back to say he collected broken laser pointers. Within a year the site was generating so much traffic his internet provider made him upgrade to a business account. He renamed the platform eBay, hired a CEO to run operations, and took it public in 1998. He became a billionaire at 31, the youngest self made billionaire in American history at the time. He built one of the defining internet companies of the 20th century over a holiday weekend from his apartment in the spare hours between a full time job and the rest of his life. The market had spoken from the very first transaction.

  @TCGPokePlug @eBay They added the sales tax to the order total and then subtracted it. That has no impact to you. Your fees were $419. Your sale must have been around $2900 and you received almost $2500. So, what’s the issue?

  @justsh1tmypants Unfortunately the switch capture cards tend to stay pretty pricey unless you can manage to find a hand me down or a used one on eBay, it’s tough man, really wanna play some stuff on stream but I can’t

  @aiamblichus > although we've come quite a long way on ergonomics I go down this rabbit hole every six months, and last time I did you either had to know what (say) an inference server, loopback interface, quants, etc is, or you were stuck with clunky proprietary llama.cpp wrappers. even lmstudio didn't make search and code execution painless (maybe they do now). osaurus was a little better in this regard but ugly. llama.cpp with its web interface is just about the cleanest thing I've found but that still needs hacky bs like llamabarn or manual configuration to make it kinda-ergonomic and available when you want it. it still didn't have fast specdec or smart batching / caching that makes local inference less slow and painful. weak at the basics. if there's a way to get even inference, but especially search and code execution up and running simply enough my non-technical elderly parents could do it comfortably (like they can install Microsoft Word), I haven't found it. > The Chinese could flood the market with cheap RAM Can they? I'm far from expert but my understanding is that the crunch is real and global. > This is a real snd alarming possibility, but it's not yet inevitable. It's not hypothetical. Did you notice that Apple literally stopped selling their high ram Mac Studios? From 512GB in 2025 down to 96GB since March. Pre-owned models are going for 30K on eBay. Studios had up to 128GB in 2022, it's a five year performance regression. About the only remotely affordable option for near-frontier consumer inference, unobtainium.

  @harrrmy Let your standards down a little. Go with Zimbabwe dollars instead of USD. I think you can get a couple mil Zimbabwe for about $20 USD on eBay

  🚨 4 OLD GTX 1080s FROM A DEAD MINING RIG NOW RUN LOCAL AI AND BEAT $400/MO IN SUBSCRIPTIONS 💀 Same cards. Same VRAM. New job. Pause at 0:10. Look at the terminal. "GPU #0: EVGA GTX 1080, 53.54 MH/s." "accepted: 902/937." "Stratum difficulty set to 44.1414." Bottom right corner: "11/23/2017." That is not an AI log. That is an Ethereum mining log from November 2017. Each one of those cards was a printer for ETH. Then Ethereum killed proof-of-work in 2022 and 50 million GPUs went into a closet. The same hardware now runs the second wave: → 4 used GTX 1080s off eBay, ~$100 each → Total stack: ~$400 → 8 GB of VRAM per card → Spread a model across them: 32 GB of usable memory → One desktop tower, one PSU, one shell command The install: → ollama install — one line → ollama pull qwen2.5 / mistral 7b / llama 3.2 / phi 3 — one line each → One environment variable to point Claude Code at localhost → Same CLI. Nothing flies to Anthropic. The performance on a 4 × 1080 stack: → 7B models: 80–120 tok/s, comfortable for chat and agents → 13B–30B with layer splitting: 40–60 tok/s, fine for real conversations → Token logs sit on the same SSD as the model → Zero cloud calls. Zero per-token bills. The math he just deleted: → ChatGPT Pro: $200/month → Claude Code Max: $200/month → Cursor: $20/month → Annual: $5,040 → The rig: $400 once → Payback: under two months → Year-two delta: thousands. Electricity only after that. The old loop is dead. Sign up. Pay $5K a year. Watch every prompt ship to someone else's server. Hit rate limits on the worst possible afternoon. Now the rig is a closet appliance that used to mine ETH and now writes code. Here's what nobody in the AI subscription space is saying out loud: The mining boom subsidized a decade of cheap consumer VRAM. Miners paid full retail. They burned a billion in electricity. They dumped the cards on eBay at one-fifth of new-price the moment proof-of-work died. You are now buying that hardware at the loss the miners ate — to run the workload the cloud is renting back to you for $5,000 a year. Most people are still arguing whether local AI is "ready." Meanwhile, the same cards that mined ETH at 5am in 2017 are writing their owner's code at 5am in 2026. Bookmark this. The race for cheap AI just left the new-product shelf. Literally.

  @CanonCsa @zebular0 True. Issue I have with that for starters is not a lot of people like GameStop. GameStops reputation is still ****. People will still go to eBay over GameStop marketplace.

  @eBay what can I do if I send an offer for a car, the seller accepts, then decides he no longer wants to sell it to me as he wants to give it to his sister? I thought all offers and bids were binding contracts? Has this seller broken ebay rules?

  There is literally one eBay listing for the issue but I’m not even sure if it’s a real listing or if it’s lying to me. Either way it’s sealed and I’m not buying it so..I emailed a few websites so we’ll see what happens.

  @JeffFavignano @Rec0nn76 It highlights ownership issues. Do you own your games if you're required to log into PSN to access them? Are the games truly yours if they can be deleted off of PSN?There's enough "lost media" that can't be downloaded any longer. How do you share your games, or sell them on eBay?

  Fake NVIDIA RTX cards are getting worse, this is why I keep telling people to be careful with GPU deals that sound too good. • Fake NVIDIA RTX cards are reportedly circulating online • Some are using glued-down plastic chips instead of real GPU dies • Scrap memory chips may be used to make the card look more legit • One fake RTX 4090 was reportedly listed around $220 • Wrong chip markings, missing QR codes, and fake labeling were spotted • Online marketplaces are the biggest risk • If the price makes zero sense, there is probably a reason • Always ask for proof, benchmarks, GPU-Z screenshots, and purchase history • Meet safely, test the card, and avoid sketchy sellers with GPU prices still high, scammers know people are desperate to find a deal on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, eBay, and random online listings.

  Before I sell the camera I have to download all the photos off the SD cards. Apparently I used it for more than eBay. But I can't do it. I don't know which one of my disorders is causing it but I can't figure out how to transfer them or even where to transfer them to. That scares me. I used to easily be able to do that. My old PC is slow but still works.

  @TheRealXShadesX @CanonCsa Cohen pretty much confirmed this by saying he wants long term shareholders on that tech podcast he did the first media go-round. RK saw an opportunity, price came all the way back to the Feb '21 low. I believe RK is simply waiting for the best possible risk to reward which would be like $17.70... Though I'm not convinced we ever see that again, especially now that the $2B share repurchase exists. Maybe RK is ready to recognize that, maybe not. Unlike before, GameStop is in a REALLY healthy state and everyone can see it's undervalued by normal metrics. The narrative to justify the price right now is "potential eBay dilution". Yes there are fears that Cohen could start diluting down here in an attempt to acquire eBay but I honestly don't think that should be a concern. $30+ sure, but not down here near lows. His call options on ebay are for 2028, he has time and is clearly patient.
