Anonymousconservativ (@rK_Politics) reported@BigDwoowoo @NTSurvivors I hate to say it but I think the Bar Association was taken over by them, to control who is allowed to practice law, and now all lawyers seem to cut you off at mention of the word "surveillance." If you are motivated, you could go Pro-se, and use a specialist AI like Courtroom 5. You can talk to it like me, and it will tell you step by step what to do, and churn out all the paperwork you would need. But you are going to need hard evidence. The best evidence I think you will get will come from getting a thermal camera like maybe a Goyojo monocular on a tripod (as low as a few hundred on EBAY), set it up to record you while you sleep, and put a layer of foil on top of paper towels (to keep it cool) over you. The beam should heat the foil, and in my case I have a nice image of a TEM-02 or TEM-03 laser bloom actively focusing on the foil, and from how it skims, you can show it is coming from the neighbor's house. You will get discovery, and from there you can get creative. But it will be an uphill battle for now. IMO, things are changing, and in one to three years, I predict there are national revelations of massive criminality in the IC, and the legal terrain will shift massively in our favor. At that point the biggest problem will be waiting to get heard, among all the cases against all the surveillance people. Hang tough brother.

Vitaliy Sokolov (@askvitaliy_) reported@SMB_Attorney When I started in business, you had to put the card in that little manual knuckle-buster imprinter with the carbon paper. That meant the card was physically present. Back in the day, we made a photocopy of the customer's credit card and ID to verify they were actually there and check their face against the ID. People literally never disputed a charge unless their card was physically stolen, at which point they would call the bank, say they were robbed, and provide a police report. Where this all went wrong was with eBay and PayPal. Suddenly it became: "You didn't get the product" or "It's not what you expected," followed by endless disputes. That is where it all began. When it comes to smaller banks, if you send them evidence, they will actually read it. But with the top ten banks in the United States, the person reviewing your case is almost certainly overseas (like Chase having reps in the Philippines). Do you think they read it or care what you wrote? Customers claim they never received a product, so we submit the UPS label, tracking data, GPS coordinates, and the delivery photo showing the package dropped at their door. You still lose the dispute. Why? Because nobody actually reviews the evidence; they just decide at random. The entire credit card processing system is fundamentally broken, driven by two core issues: 1. Widespread customer abuse with zero accountability: Customers increasingly abuse chargebacks simply to avoid paying for items, especially high-value goods, because they know there are no consequences. Even when customers dispute a charge by accident (for example, mixing it up with other unrecognized charges) and promise via email to call their bank and fix it, they forget, and the merchant still loses. Furthermore, most businesses do not work with direct merchant acquirers; they use payment aggregators who do not fight chargebacks the same way a direct processor would. The banks simply do not care enough to fix this. 2. Outdated legacy infrastructure and evaluation: The evidence-collection and review processes are completely archaic. AI would make far better, fairer decisions analyzing dispute evidence than manual overseas reviewers. People often blame Visa or Mastercard, but chargeback decisions are made by the issuing banks. Payment processors love to label businesses as "high risk." We are not high-risk; the issue is simply that consumers buy items they do not want to pay for. If the industry had a centralized database tracking how many chargebacks an individual consumer files across cards, the "high-risk merchant" label wouldn't even need to exist, because verifying buyer legitimacy would be straightforward. Back in the day, merchant processors physically visited your business to inspect your operation and verify your inventory before giving you merchant access. Today, aggregators let anyone instantly open an account without even verifying their identity, enabling scammers to set up fake storefronts selling $50 iPhones. Then, two days later, they freeze legitimate accounts demanding identity verification out of nowhere. The entire model needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Vernaculist (@vernaculist) reported@PaulBambiBurns @eBay_UK @ebay IS the fraud. Do NOT sell on eBay. It's a cesspool run by terrible people.

MK5 Cards (@MK5Cards) reported@trustcuz As a rule of thumb, I don't buy Chinese pokemon cards from first time vendors in China. I've been confirmed scammed from Chinese vendors with 2600 99.9% reviews and I've seen Chinese vendors that had 6000 get closed down by eBay.

SNAFU (@FritzPeasant) reported@ingelramdecoucy Eh. If the boys electrocuting themselves with the eBay time machine does not make you belly laugh, your funny detector is broken.

Hunter Rollins (@hrollins1994) reportedGot new headlamp assemblies ordered for my truck today. I really hope they fit (Ebay... I've had mixed results with them). The driver side assembly is held on by 1 bolt. Having issues with the low beam. Hopefully this will fix all of it. Also straightened a quarter panel I didn't know was bent up.

Jennifer_Stiles 💙🧡 (@Shaybear98) reportedEbay warning: if u have a store and have issues with hockey card scammers watch ur words and record everything or else a buyer can accuse u of uttering threats and 3 court dates later it's withdrawn because there was literally NOTHING 2 support it 😠 Court system worked though

TullyNotes (@fantony_francis) reported@GeniusGTX Everybody says the same stupid things. Passion, strategy, edge... scale marketing. Meanwhile, mega success sometimes comes down to simple luck, timing, or random events. Or buying 10 houses in NY back in 2005. This fat slob- he must eat all day- an Epstein camper and Soros lover- lucked out by being with a much smarter Peter T. and sold PayPal to eBay for 1.5B. In 02. Once in a lifetime.

John Lee (@Actuarial_Tutor) reported@Decentguyusedto Gauntlet was the GOAT. Loved that game. I regret not buying an old Gauntlet machine that was for sale on ebay many years ago. It may have caused trouble in our marriage having this take up room in our house, but...GAUNTLET!

Matt (@DigbySkankPants) reported@pokemartalerts Should apply to all new sets amount of times you see PC preorders go live within 5 mins eBay are flooded with confirmed preorder listings. Ban private seller accounts shouldn’t doing this combat the issue of scalping
-
El American (@elandrecito66) reported@eBay Why doesn't eBay have a single customer service rep with whom I can talk? Their pervasive use of AI to ward off customer issues and concerns troubles me greatly. I guess I will need to ask for my money back with my credit card, since eBay so effectively seeks to block me from any real, human interaction. It is too bad. I always liked eBay. But when you need them, they simply are not there.

Antid (@antisadh) reportedNVIDIA KILLED DRIVER SUPPORT FOR THESE IN 2018. HE BOUGHT TWO OFF EBAY FOR $150 ANYWAY AND SPENT A WEEKEND WATCHING THEM REFUSE TO POST. KIMI DOES THE SAME WORK FOR $19/MO 03:11 he's holding a molex adapter he already knows is a mistake and says "this is so not a good idea, like this is a pretty foolish idea, I should not be doing this really" 2 tesla k80s for $150 -> 48gb of vram on paper -> no video out on either card -> no video out on the motherboard either -> hunt down a single-slot gpu just to see BIOS -> the y-splitter that shipped with them is bridged wrong -> improvise from three 6-pin rails -> 266 watts at idle -> 6 beeps -> nothing on screen kepler shipped in 2014, nvidia cut cuda support in 2018, and datacenters dumped millions of these onto ebay where they still list as "AI accelerator, 24GB" because 24 is a bigger number than 12 and nobody checks the compute capability the honest part: he swapped both cards, pulled the sata power, ran one alone off the correct rails, and neither one posted, the host boots fine with the slot empty, $150 gone and the weekend with it 2x tesla k80 + dual xeon host + 3d printed 120mm shroud + molex-to-8pin adapters + 6 bios beeps + zero tokens generated watch and save it, then kill your $439 stack this weekend, kimi does the same work at $19 flat and the whole map is in the article below

Wellnesskoenig (@binancechiller) reported@insomnia_vip All I scare is the refunds , actually also I had a lot of issues on sells on eBay also and still refund on PayPal via 180 days. But this is gold if u do it right probably and it work automation
-
Ace (@Hydra_Paradox1) reported@Stndst1lL_wiL @Dexerto You probably ain’t gonna get the card sent to you eBay will probably just end up refunding your money to you and taking down the listing

Chris (@DrDude1985) reported@SSGSentinel That's a No for me, dawg. When it was announced years ago I was stoked. But this was before Spider-Man 2 and everything. We're talking 2020 maybe? Forever ago. I LOVE SM1. But I passed on SM2 after everything I saw online and I'm passing on Wolverine as well. Perhaps a sale in the future or a used copy on eBay much later on down the road. At least a year or two from launch. I'm not impressed with what I've seen and all the usual tactics are being deployed from the AAA industry and it's shills. Like Yotei and SM2 all over again.

Slick Paper (@Slick_Paper) reported@CGC_SI @tohardtoocall Some lucky guy beat me to a newstand issue for $10 about a month ago on eBay. From the photos it looked like a solid 8, maybe better.

stefanopineda (@stefanopineda) reported@bot is a really convenient place to run routines (cron jobs). My sister needs a video editing PC so every morning @bot searches eBay for 32GB DDR5 auctions with decent CPUs under $400. Nice to have on Mac / iPhone as opposed to Hermes / OpenClaw on server.
-
advancedlong 💎🙌 (@advancedlong) reported@RDKLInc @eBay Yeah. I started around then too. The search functions been broken. I get 10 notifications for a discount on something nobody wants. Its sadly become a broken amazon. Dumpster diving overpriced collectibles. Sucks because i have a classic car. 0 alternatives.
-
DrVoodoo🐉🥋 (@Drvoodooo) reportedThey will go on eBay within the same week. No issue at all
-
John Bumstead (@RDKLInc) reported@artur @DavidV_81 @eBay 99% is eBay auto-calculating. When you tell the sellers their shipping price, they have no idea and want to fix it, but how to fix it is absolutely unclear aside from setting it to a fix shipping rate.
-
Kenan Fernsby (@KenanFernsby) reported@HustleBitch_ The so and so’s even use non conventional fasteners and so on to stop you trying to fix a car yourself. Here’s the thing with the CEL though: buy an OBD2 WiFi plug in off eBay for $10 and download a free app. Read and reset “fault codes” to your heart’s content. For free👍
-
Eamonn Gaines (@EamonnGaines) reported@collected_mind I am doing the same with an ebay listing; a glitch is being ironed out but if I refresh every 30 seconds it will make things happen more quickly!

Danny (@MadTown_Collect) reported@PokeFreezeNotif Talked to eBay today, no further actions will be taken. They just took down my card and ask not to repost it.

TYRED (@TYRED79722907) reported@HustleBitch_ Buy the machine on ebay and learn to fix it yourself Never go to the stealership for anything

Disavowed W (@DisavowedW) reportedMy Current setup is a Broken and Beaten Ideapad with a 1650 in it, My Main Setup is actually a Steam Deck OLED Since Im going to have to buy a whole new Laptop with at least a 4060M in it for like 650$+ used off EBay for ONE GAME Yeah, one could say it's hard to just "Enjoy" it
-
D (@ObeanzCards) reported@premiercards_2 @BallHawks_Cards You can resolve the issue by resharing your tracking details and then waiting for eBay to step in! I never said ignore it lol.
-
tim (@TimothyTheFirst) reported@dieworkwear Buying vintage stuff on eBay solves the problem for the latter group but they also don’t care enough to do that lol.

Dave Knight (@PoliteDKnight) reported@atlanta_cards It should go to eBay international hub and then to Chicago. It’s no different than authentication. Damage or issues are on eBay after it gets to them.
