  @Radios4Freedom @TruckerDanUSA Sometimes the seller knows how to ship at a reasonable cost. Often, they don't. It's their first time selling something so big, they don't have the right size box, and so on. It's even irritating for me to ship cases, but I do it properly. That cuts into what I make dramatically, though, unless I magically have the original box. I've got to pack a vintage one soon that's going to be a nightmare, and I'll have to use the box the Fractal came in, to do it. It's too wide, which will affect cost, so I'll have to cut it down. That one's going to be a major annoyance. It's wrong in all the wrong dimensions, and weighs a ton. I missed one I really wanted on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. It wouldn't have worked for my new build, but I wanted it just to have it. Now I've got to buy that DAC, though, so no more fun cases to have. That's going to be an expensive purchase.

  @MttThms @DustinCanFly Even with Amazon sales go up and down you can still get a copy on eBay or marketplace anywhere really and it’ll be cheaper by a good amount If you wanted a cod title 5 years ago if it’s not on sale it’ll be 60$ And this is a huge thing PlayStation will do bare minimum

  For example the PS3 store is soon to shut down, now you can't buy anything on it but luckily there are still physical discs that CAN be bought through things like ebay though it can sometimes be expensive

  @glacierptrading Because GME cultists are angry, edge lord worshippers. I actually believe in RC. I think the comp plan is insane. But I think he has a good plan. And no, I do not believe he intends on buying eBay. I believe he is using eBay as a target to drive the share price down and create an insane squeeze dynamic. Buybacks coming.

  This guy claims $27,000 in one month off this. He wasn’t even using AI. He found a $100 eBay product (like heaters with hundreds of sales), reverse-searched the image to Alibaba, and discovered the same item for ~$28. Then he manually ran margins, fees, shipping, and checked competitor stores to see what was actually scaling. That’s it. Now think about what changes with AI. You don’t have to manually search suppliers, calculate profit, or dig through competitors. AI can identify similar listings, map suppliers from images, break down margins, and summarize entire stores in seconds. Same framework. Demand, supplier, margin, replication. AI just removes almost all the work in between.

  Erick (@Erickschultz11) reported 22 minutes ago

  I can’t wait for Amazon and eBay to go full AI. And I especially don’t want Amazon showing me a bunch of other stuff I did not search for. That is one of the biggest problems with online shopping now. You search for something specific, and the platform starts mixing in sponsored products, loosely related products, “customers also bought,” promoted brands, and random junk that only sort of matches the words you typed. That is not intelligence. That is advertising pressure disguised as search. AI should fix that. If I search for a specific part, tool, cable, filter, book, or replacement item, I want the system to understand the intent and narrow the results, not expand them into a shopping carnival. If I ask for a 14-inch shelf bracket, don’t show me 12-inch brackets, floating shelves, decorative hooks, or something that paid to be near the result. A real AI shopping assistant should be able to say: “This is the exact item you searched for.” “These are compatible alternatives.” “These are not compatible, even though the listing looks similar.” “This seller is risky.” “This one is overpriced.” “You bought something similar before.” That is where AI could actually improve shopping. Not by showing more products, but by showing fewer, better, more relevant products. The problem with Amazon and eBay is not lack of inventory. It is too much noise between the user and the thing they actually need. AI should become the filter that protects the buyer from the platform’s own clutter. Maybe Elon should start here on X - and use Grok to drive it... of course -... call it the X-Store.

  A lot of new people here, this one’s for you. 🚨How to stop losing money to eBay return scammers. They buy your clean, working item… then ship back a broken piece of junk & demand a full refund. I recently learned this $7.49 trick & it’s an absolute game changer: Grab a cheap UV security pen (the exact one I use from amazon is in the photo). Before you ship, write a unique personal code or mark in a hidden spot on the item. It’s completely invisible to the naked eye, but lights up under any blacklight. When the return comes back, just shine the light. No matching mark? That’s not your original item. Upload the before/after UV photos in your eBay case and watch your win rate skyrocket. 🚀 Pro tip: Make the code truly unique, your own handwriting style, a random symbol only you make. Something scammers can’t duplicate even if they know the method. Resellers: add this to your process TODAY. It will save you hundreds (or thousands) in the long run. Who’s trying this? Let me know in the comments if you’re adding UV marking to your process. Also, would love to hear your best return scam stories below! Happy selling! Let's grow!

  @chivasTaka @PhantomBlack699 @magsonthemoon You do realize eBay has zero inventory, right..? Hype would be saying Ryan Cohen could run eBay off of his Apple Watch.... which... ok I won't go there. The second thing RC will fix, after he removes a huge chunk of eBay's marketing expenses, and cleaning out the Board Room and C suite, is putting a stop to a failed eBay business strategy, by not burning $ 1-2B per year by buying losing marketplaces from VC funded start-ups with no intention to carry the eBay name. Make that make sense. Tise, Depop, Caramel, the list is long, and it should be embarrassing for anyone not to call out what is pretty clear. The eBay board and C-Suite has found a way to remove CASH off of their balance sheet, systematically, with precision, for a purpose. That purpose is not to reward shareholders for actual profitability or growth. The purpose isn't to fix eBay's customer service and definitely not to fix the problem of sellers selling fake and sometimes illegal goods on eBay's Marketplace. So what is the purpose..? eBay tosses a few table scraps to shareholders by buying back $500M worth of shares a year, and tucking those overpayments for the acquisitions of money losing VC backed start-ups into the asset category of Goodwill on their Balance Sheet. They've been doing that for the last 6 years, every year, like clockwork. The Board and C-Suite of eBay has devised a way to inflate the asset side of their balance sheet, which the last time I checked, is now sitting around $4.5B of Goodwill, which they state in their own foot notes to the financial statements, that eBay is unlikely to recover those overpayments for the intangible value of the acquisitions classified as Goodwill. They just roll over the amount in that Goodwill line every year, by realizing the losses on prior acquisitions, and adding more intangible assets to Goodwill by making more foolish acquisitions. eBay has almost $6B in long term debt on their Balance Sheet too. Heck of a way to add the balance between their Assets and Liabilities, to make their Balance Sheet appear stronger and larger than it actually is. The existing eBay executives are imo, masters at manipulation using Smoke and Mirrors. Ryan Cohen has accomplished what no one else has ever done before: Take on Amazon and win with Chewy. And he began that journey when he was 25 years young. Ryan Cohen has accomplished what no one else has ever done before: Take a dying brick & mortar retail store, and turn it into a money minting machine with GameStop. People can think what they want. But anyone who calls that hype, good luck. I prefer to base my opinion on fact, supported by proven history. From Ryan's past history, to what he says publicly today, he is not getting lucky like a lot of people would like to claim, RC knows the meaning of working his *** off, to do the right thing. RC isn't doing what he does because he is some kind Greek God and wants to reward shareholders. Ryan is a shareholder. RC is the largest individual shareholder of GameStop, and if any shareholder thinks RC owes them anything, again, like a lot of the Short Shill People attempt to claim, these folks are getting nudged to the edge of their own mistake, of betting against Ryan Cohen. And with that, I say, Good Luck to them. Luck (even with the ex-Secretary of Treasury on their side) won't save them, this time.

  Rapeus “No Consent” Greytwat (@JCMushoku2) reported 41 minutes ago

  I am ending my buying of any playstation games starting January 2028. From that date, new games will be entirely disregarded and Playstation will no longer be a platform I use. All jokes aside, if this does happen I will be 100% done with modern gaming. I don’t buy digital anymore, I prefer physical media and ownership. I don’t even like digital games on storefronts like steam, they don’t give me ownership… any game I truly care for, I have physical copies of, be it on any modern or old console or even PC I always go for physical media. The original promise of digital games was “lower prices”, that was the upside… it was “yeah you own nothing but at least it will be cheaper”… but they never were cheaper… I can go buy a copy of an old COD game for like $2 right now at my local store meanwhile digitally it would be 60$ unless it went on sale, and even then it would be significantly more expensive. All these BS sales do is prey on weak minded cattle who don’t care about owning anything and the fact that their entire “game library” can be stolen away at any moment. Let’s be completely honest, games these days are not as good as old ones anyways, they have better graphics but really the past 10ish years have been nothing but minor, barely noticeable changes in stuff like lighting… meanwhile game budgets have skyrocketed, game breaking bugs and glitches are more prevalent than ever, prices continue to raise, and companies care less and less about making a good entry in the franchises you love… Remember when we could get solid series endings? Trilogies that left you happy, with good stories coming to a close and maybe a few spinoffs that were entirely optional… that was great, it was good to let a franchise run it’s course, end naturally, and just be something you can always go back to… but now? Remakes, remasters, sequels, reboots… how many truly original games do we get? Not very many, and when we do get something it often ends up being trash like south of midnight, forespoken, etc… The industry desperately needs to crash, but it won’t… we see low iq swine buying pre orders of GTA 6 on ebay so they can chase a trend, this is the level of boot licking we have today… mind you, a “physical copy” of GTA 6 is just a code in a box… it’s the same type scam as getting it on the Playstation store or Xbox store… and the retarded fools eat the slop… so we won’t get a crash, because people don’t care… People will claim “voting with your wallet doesn’t work” but thats not true… when nobody wanted a nintendo, games went on permanent discount, consoles were sold with games bundled in for less than launch price, buying mario kart 8 got you a free game of your choice from a list including big hitters like pikmin 3 and Wind Waker HD… that is the power of voting with your wallet, sega quit making consoles because nobody wanted to have a sega, that is voting with your wallet working, the Playstation 3 dropped from a 600$ all the way down to an eventual 250$ over its lifespan and that is voting with your wallet at work, consoles used to get cheaper over the years, games used to go on permanent discount, that wasn’t being “consumer friendly” that was bending down to consumers knowing that keeping the same high prices will make large portions of people refuse to buy… but people don’t refuse anymore, there is no competition for which console is the right one for you, which exclusives are the best… it’s all just “wanna play bad games? Buy the current console”, crossplatform online, porting to PC, putting former exclusives in rivals consoles… it’s all poison for the industry. Sony and all other game companies can suck on my *****. Thanks for reading, have a wonderful and blessed day! Sincerely - The **** Guy

  @AmourageCapital @xbtforever Nothing really. I’d guess they continue raising their ownership in eBay or issue a tender offer. Some people have spectated they buy back shares but I doubt it. Good point that they haven’t been correlated! I tend to think solana:7HgfXftRBBqsYtAEYcqjGLQrNJLL6Tww9ek4rE3Apump is correlated to Roaring Kitty and that he will come back when there’s a solid reason like gmeXebay deal. I could envision a scenario where the deal is half stock for eBay and the deal currency of gme shares creates some sort of opportunity. All spectulation though

  Dodger Luffy 2026 Promo Thesis NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE, DYOR (TLDR AT END) Key points: This year vs last year main differences? Price Point Of Entry! Last year on day of, ticket prices hovered around $100-150, with the promo originally selling for around $300-$350 on eBay. This year? $300ish price range PER TICKET. 2-3x the original 2025 cost just for entry alone. This doesn’t mean the ticket price now isn’t worth it tho… The entry price will directly reflect on cost of aftermarket promo cards as their initial cost is based on ticket cost. Look at the museum promo that just released with a 60-70K quantity overseas and even that was seeing $900 sales… TODAY.. AND MUSUEM CLOSURES UPEON RELEASE… That was with NO UPFRONT COST. The Dodgers entry is $300!! So $300 to get a promo, with in my opinion, higher importance and relevancy overall… Think to yourself, why would this EVER go under that ticket cost alone for example. I’m even considering BUYING more ticket at the $250-300-350 range… What do I see happening price wise? There’s 52k & 40k promo number hovering around as far as what’s available for tomorrow rumor wise, I believe it’s 52k.. BOTH of these numbers are either 4-5x as many as were available at last year’s game, so does this mean it’s a bad promo? Hell no. With the last years promo hovering from $4-5000 now in a PSA 10.. although this is a don (essentially a One Piece version of a Pokemon energy card) it’s a Dodgers collab. It ain’t goin nowhere. People are chasing last years gains, paired with an insane demand on One Piece in general... I would suggest scooping this up within the first week or two of availability while SUPPLY PUBLICLY AVAILABLE (all scalpers are dumping) because once the initial supply dries up these become cards buy and keep in collections forever. Even people who don’t collect One Piece, think baseball fans, Dodgers fans, Ohtani fans, Pokemon collectors, Japanese fans, are interested and curious about this card.. worldwide demand. The reason I believe they made so many of these vs last year as well is because this is a Don which you would technically use 10 in a deck to play the card game in. Expect to see some rich folk flex this in competitive play lol One last gem I’ll leave here as well is don’t overlook grading these. Yall seen me submit 37 dodger luffy leader promos and I got 34/37 PSA 10s. No gloves used. Hardly much overlooking of the promos. It’s worth it. Free value bump to your already cherished card/investment play. PSA is down at the moment unfortunately and that’s what I would personally recommend, but maybe it’s time to hunt for a Beckett Black Label as these promos I presume would grade well. TLDR: 2026 Dodgers Luffy promo has a much higher $300 ticket entry this year (2-3x last year’s $100-150), creating a stronger price floor for aftermarket cards. Even with 4-5x more supply (40k-52k available), it’s not a bad investment — last year’s version now hits $4k-$5k in PSA 10. Buy during the first 1-2 weeks while scalpers dump supply, then hold long-term as these become keeper collection pieces. Grading adds strong upside (34/37 PSA 10s recently on OG promo with minimal effort) — PSA recommended or consider Beckett Black Label. Overall bullish despite higher supply. GL regardless of what you do.
