  @foxenflask RC added a synergy in GME & Ebay in collectables market where GME can certify & ship from local store. What he didn't mention is how cert and ship solves many scam issues, creates sales where buyers afraid walk away. Introduce a market for traders and another for collectors

  Hello @eBay_UK. A seller sent me an item which broke on first use. I requested a Return. Seller has ignored me for several weeks now and did not forward a return address. I can’t find your “Ask eBay To Step In” tab on the appropriate drop down menu. Please “Step In”.

  Caller: “ I’m 61 with no retirement savings and living in low income housing” Caller: I’m 61, recently divorced, living in subsidized housing, and I have no retirement savings. I’m working 25 hours a week as a cashier and I just don’t know how to get ahead. Dave: This is primarily an income problem. 25 hours a week as a cashier isn’t enough, you need more hours or a different income stream entirely. What’s holding you back? Caller: I have bad knees and a bad back, so anything physical like cleaning or caregiving is off the table. Dave: Then we shift to what you can do. Can you cook? Do you have items around the house you’re not using? Caller: I do have a lot of stuff, yes. Dave: Start selling it on Facebook Marketplace and eBay. I know someone who made $800,000 in a year just reselling items, it’s a real, scalable business if you work it seriously. Caller: I wouldn’t even know where to start. Dave: You start with what’s already in your home, learn the platforms, and build from there. Use your mind, not your back. It’s not too late, Jenny but fear cannot be the thing that stops you. Caller: I needed to hear that. Dave: I’m going to send you Ken Coleman’s book, The Proximity Principle, to help you think through your next career move. Read it and take action. Caller: Thank you, Dave.

  @SHINTAB_44 And he pre-ordered it... Even though the writing was on the wall for a third broken release in a row. *I* noped out and decided to wait at least a full year for DICE to fix the game before I considered getting it second-hand on eBay (and apparently the game is still broken?).

  @tm1515152005 @USPS @eBay not spending all that time for .99 - 2.99 cards. I dont do this to make money, just to offset my spending. But im probably shutting down my ebay store soon. Better off selling on my marketplace. Cheaper prices and fewer scammers taking advantage of the process.

  Issue I have with what’s not sellers is when they have 500 people in the room and they are advertising a Leaf soccer card that you can get on eBay for $2 and going crazy and getting people to bid over a $100. And than banning you when you call them out on it. Horrible

  @DrPhil "• 2015, Amarillo, Texas: A UAP violated the sealed airspace over Pantex, the heavily guarded plant where America assembles and disassembles nuclear weapons. Seen by multiple personnel." little side note: those groups are supposed to 'properly dispose of' all parts involved in the breakdown of said devices. I wanted a sample of beryllium metal. I found that the best prices for such on eBay was in disposed of machined parts. So I bought one. Out of Texas. It was shipped to me, in Canada. turns out it was one of the end/side support bearing and signal translation/transfer pieces for a nuclear missile's internal gyroscope. Or a missile of similar size and build technology/quality standards. this is MY conclusion, I have no access to their schematics, of course, I simply had to try and figure out what I was looking at. After careful consideration, I concluded that this was the only thing it could be. very expensive, non magnetic, super light, perfectly machined metal. I was just buying a piece of machined beryllium, as it was cheaper than a piece of stock, of any size. if 'the boys' want to look in my eBay account and track that down and see who the hell was selling such things on eBay, feel free to look into it. Should still be there in my eBay purchase records from about6 years ago. This one was relatively harmless (old tech), yes, but that may not always be true.

  Does anyone have an idea why I’m getting all my bubble mailer / boxed orders but PWE’s I buy are being returned to sender? Never had this issue so frequently; a half-dozen PWE’s haven’t made it to me It’s not the address, this is *only* an issue with PWE cards Is it my local post office? People sending PWE’s that are too heavy or rigid? eBay / CollX issues? I’m truly perplexed @CardPurchaser

  @dirtevader @ValueAddedRS Ebay has had issues w/buyer & seller scams for years. With little information on how to properly resolve in favor of the party being scammed. Ruling against honest sellers, loses sellers money and future listings. Ruling against honest buyers loses future purchases. GME can solve

  Lately I am having issues with a whole bunch of ebay sellers who will just not ship the items. Many of them waiting over ten days, not shipping and then not responding to messages. Not good. Some kind of epidemic of dipshits happening.

  After seeing the book Chains of Sea explode in value on sites like eBay because of @LueElizondo, it is now starting to go back down in price and there are a good amount of copies available. If you were holding off on buying one when they were all around $80 it looks like there are now copies available for $30 or less.

  we made eBay UK sold listings a free command in the Discord. check comps without leaving the server, filtered to UK sales from the start. if you're still working from asking prices to decide what to list at, that's the first thing to fix.

  This point by @Asmongold is relevant for all digital media. I purchase ebooks mostly from Kobo bc I can strip the DRM for backups, but Kindle owners can’t do the same anymore. Their ebooks aren’t actually theirs, and Amazon can update the story content on you or even remove the ebooks just like Sony recently removed 550 movies from user libraries. Remember when Amazon removed purchased copies of 1984 from user libraries in 2009? Let’s circle back to gaming and consider the second hand NSW & NS2 market. The Switch is now seen as physical media’s main defender, yet a used game off eBay can trigger Nintendo to block your console’s online access if the prior owner ripped and shared it. Or GFCs. Yes, they can be traded between friends and resold legally, but they will always be a dongle that needs authorization before it will play. Same with game Nintendo licensing in general. I can’t tell you how many times I couldn’t play my legally purchased Pokémon game on my legally purchased Switch Lite bc a family member was using the family NS2 with my linked account at the same time. (You can fix that particular annoyance, but Nintendo doesn’t make it intuitive.) Yes, having physical editions of games is important, but licensing with DRM benefits corporations, not consumers. It means we don’t own what we purchase, even if we hold it in our hands.

  I'm from Finland, so literally the only way to find physical comics is from flea markets/second hand stores, and they're like so random issues. OR you cn buy from ebay/amazon and pay +20€ for shipping :)I have Marvel unlimited, but the DC one isn't even available in my country😭

  🚨 The Air Bag That Became a Grenade: A Deadly China-Linked Pipeline Inside American Cars! A device built to save lives is exploding into shrapnel inside used cars across America. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says replacement air-bag inflators marked “DTN60DB” have been linked to 10 deaths and three severe injuries in 13 crashes. Instead of cushioning drivers, the inflators ruptured and fired metal fragments into their faces, necks and chests. The crashes should have been survivable. One victim, Eui Seok Kang, lost half his lower jaw after a replacement air bag bought on eBay detonated during a 2023 Texas crash. A 22-year-old Florida mother, Destiny Byassee, was killed after another replacement unit exploded in her Chevrolet Malibu. The danger is not confined to one careless repair shop. It runs through a murky aftermarket of salvaged vehicles, online sellers, counterfeit automaker labels and parts likely imported illegally from China. Investigators found that some aftermarket inflators had entered the country concealed inside toys and dollhouses. Once installed, the parts become nearly invisible. They are not linked to a vehicle identification number, so a standard recall search may reveal nothing. In April, NHTSA banned the sale and import of inflators bearing the DTN60DB identifier, the agency’s first vehicle-equipment ban in more than two decades. The Chinese manufacturer associated with the marking says it does not sell in the United States and argues that the parts may be counterfeits. That defense does not make American drivers safer. It exposes the deeper problem: an opaque supply chain where responsibility disappears while lethal products keep moving. This is what counterfeit commerce looks like when the fake is not a handbag, but an explosive charge inches from a driver’s face. Owners of used, rebuilt or previously crashed vehicles should obtain a history report and have any replacement air bag inspected by a qualified technician. Do not open the steering wheel yourself.

  Small e-commerce sellers lose sales to undercutters or burn margins watching spreadsheets all day. Built MarginMind to fix that. It watches competitors across Amazon, eBay, and Shopify, adjusts your prices in real time, protects your margins, and sends you a daily profit report.

  HE IGNORED THE #1 PIECE OF HOMELAB ADVICE — "BUY A CHEAP USED SERVER OFF EBAY" — AND BUILT A RACK THE SIZE OF A TOASTER INSTEAD Everyone tells beginners the same thing: grab an old Dell PowerEdge for $80, it's enterprise-grade, it's a bargain. What they don't tell you: it screams like a jet engine, pulls 100W+ sitting idle, and heats the room it lives in. That "cheap" server costs you $150+ a year in electricity alone — every year, forever. So he went the opposite way. One 10-inch mini rack on a desk. Mini PCs that sip ~10W each instead of rack servers. A network switch. A small touchscreen on top running his dashboard — the whole lab visible at a glance. Quiet enough to sit next to. Small enough to carry under one arm. Uses less power than a light bulb. Pause at 1:35 — the eBay listings of used PowerEdge servers he almost bought. Then look at what's actually sitting on his desk at the end. That contrast is the whole video. Most homelab guys measure their setup in rack units and decibels. He measured his in "would I actually want this thing in my room." Skip the eBay trap. Buy small. Stack quiet. Full build in the video.

  Trading and selling Pokémon cards is slow, risky, and expensive. Collector Crypt aims to fix that. "Take a look at the way stocks were traded back in the '50s and '60s. You have to call your broker, you have to place a trade. The broker takes a few hours. Then you get your monthly statement, or you have to open up your newspaper to see the price quote. There's no terminal, right? Everything is just really slow, and there's settlement time. There's all these issues, like how do you move your money to the bank to do this and this? So it's just like walking through molasses. Trading cards are the way stocks were in the '70s." "I wanna rotate that out to cards in vintage, and I don't wanna get wrecked, right? On Ebay no matter what, you're paying 13% transaction fees off the gate. Then you're dealing with how long does it take, so the auction takes 7 days. Then you get paid. eBay's gonna hold onto the money if it's a valuable card for 2 to 3 weeks. So from the point that you say, I wanna sell this card, you might not have the money for 3 or 4 weeks. So how are you gonna go and take that money and go and buy the next thing, right?" "Everything just happens super slow." "With Collector Crypt and with what we're building, you can go in and sell a card for $10,000. If you're doing it over our swap, like if you're in a Discord, we have a trustless swap. It's free. You find a buyer, we don't take anything on that. You don't have a middleman there taking 2% of every trade. We want people to go into our Discord and find deals and negotiate without having to pay." "If you list it on our marketplace, we only take 2%. So even if you do that, it's very cheap. But the whole idea is that once that settles, you have that money within a few seconds, and then you could go and buy something else. You can buy something on our marketplace, you can negotiate with somebody else over the counter, you can go and buy something on eBay that you're looking for." "It's this whole idea of compression of settlement time, minimization of transaction fees, elimination of fraud around settlement, like, I'm gonna ship you a card. Is that the card that you actually bought? Is it a fake card? Is the card scratched or damaged? Is it gonna get lost in the post, right? These are all settlement kind of issues, and we eliminate all of that." "We allow you to just focus most on the most enjoyable parts of the hobby, which is trading and collecting."

  Someone explain to me why a card I listed yesterday can’t be found under searches on eBay. It’s a GOAT too. I thought it odd to have zero views after 24 hours. I tried searching and nothing. Haven’t had this issue with any other card, what am I missing?

  I am selling one of my digital cameras, and dealing with German or Austrian "buyers" is something else. "Why do you sell it?", many ask this, wtf. "I would like to try the camera for a few days before buying", several have asked this, piss off. "How many months of warranty do you offer?" "This model is X years old, the newer model is out", ok, so? "I'd like this camera, but it's too expensive for me, good luck selling it!", I can't even. "Is the camera damaged?", what? It's listed in perfect working condition. "Can I pay in installments?" Everybody complains or is being passive aggressive about the price, or tries to haggle the price down, even though the price is lower than on eBay, and of course much lower than in any used camera store.
