    The listing exposed something most people never think about: a kidney can be donated, but in most countries it cannot legally be sold. The moment the auction went viral, eBay faced a problem it had never anticipated. Its marketplace had accidentally become a window into a black market worth billions.

    @kithgil420 The more eBay gets "bought" by GameStop the more GME gets shorted, and until the results of the shareholding voting is announced it's likely to go sideways and/or down until then. As I see it only big pop we'd get is if the proposals fail next month.

    @andrewhoyer @PineDigitalCo Nothing a strong polymer eraser, unique bit driver set, and a bunch of rubbing alcohol can't fix! These are all ebay/yardsale finds and were quite tarnished.

    @DePimblor @Timothy_Mark7 That's sadly a flight all the way over to DC sadly. Tho at this point I might actually settle for the ebay stuff. That and for Space Hulk. We have literally everything but the Genestealers (easy fix) and the Rules/Operations stuff.

    Day 1-126 18 Week Recap Total sales: $49,065.22 Buy cost (COG): $8,151.57 eBay earnings: $27,362.89 Net profit: $19,211.32 ROI: 235% 540+ items sold. 126 consecutive days documented. When I started this challenge, I didn't know exactly what the numbers would look like after 4 months. What I did know was that if I consistently sourced inventory, listed every day, learned from my mistakes, & stayed in the game long enough, the results would eventually show up. There were great days. There were slow days. There were buying mistakes, broken returns, missing parts, cancellations, refunds, & plenty of lessons learned along the way. That's the reality of reselling. The goal was never perfection. The goal was progress. Looking back, nearly every meaningful gain came from doing the simple things repeatedly: Source good inventory. Buy at the right price. List consistently. Treat customers right. Learn from mistakes. Repeat. The biggest takeaway after 126 days is that success rarely comes from 1 huge day. It comes from hundreds of small decisions compounded over time. Most people overestimate what one day can do & underestimate what 126 days of consistency can do. Still learning. Still adapting. Still building. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

    Catalog NES Game 42- Rampage Rampage was released as an arcade game in 1986 before being ported over to the NES as well as many other systems. The franchise and its rights are owned by Warner Bros after they purchased Midway Games. The idea is simple. You are transformed into 3 monsters that look like King Kong, Godzilla, and Werewolf. You get to run around smashing buildings, collecting power up food items and such. While the actual sales figures are not known it did go down as one of the most popular rentals at the time. The arcade version of the game was a massive hit. Today if you are looking to collect you can find the game on Ebay and such for roughly $15 to $20 and a nice boxed version for around $100 #NES #Rampage

    just spoke with a guy who automated dropshipping from japan to worldwide auto-listing rare high ticket items from mercari but on ebay he just copies entire listings from @mercari_jp (japanese ebay) onto ebay using selenium + claude opus 4.7 as Buy It Now charges 200% across the board for every single item + shipping made like $70k last month with barely 3% failure rates most common issue? item was sold in japan to someone else and bot didn't query on time and didn't shelf the ebay listing and someone bought it on ebay and he wasnt able to fulfill just does a big apology and offers some coupon for future purchase discount scrapes, uploads, translates everything + adds his own caveats/verbiage to protect himself in case those 3% end up hitting him literally does all possible categories you could think of meanwhile we're still in crypto lol

    It was just over 10 years ago that StubHub coughed up and lost thousands a seat when owned by eBay to save their reputation on the Super Bowl in Arizona on broken orders Been a long time since the great old days

    I was looking for physical copies of the October 2005 and July 2006 issues of Physics Today - a special issue on Hans Bethe, and an issue with my letter about him. Unfortunately, the only option available on eBay was the full set of 48 issues from 2005 through 2008. There was no way I was going to buy so many for just two issues. No way. No…wait.

    If someone were to send like $2,000 to $ThatUnknownOre on cash app, they'd be my best friend forever. I could really use the money right now, so I can buy stuff on eBay that I need. I mean, my phone is having difficulty charging, because it's charging port is broken.

    @ParkedCards Why would you refund it? Ebay gives you a certain amount of Time to ship something. You did what was agreed on. And after that Point it is not your Problem anymore when it arrives. The buyer should know these risks.

    @pokemondealsuk @bmstores This is the issue as a general with the hobby. There is next to zero shortage of Pokemon product. The issue is that it’s all available for 3x the price on Facebook/Ebay. See it every single restock

    @silver207141 $250 by the end of the year. I thought we would be over $100 by now but the paper games are keeping physical down. Even if you have to pay the premium. I think spot should include prices of eBay and online trading sites. The fuse is lit I just thought it was shorter than this

    @PokeHEX5555 Agreed but ppl are getting greedy now. FB marketplace has been where I’ve gotten great deals. Problem is now there’s ppl posting over market and trying to get “lucky” to sell to buyers that don’t know tcgplayer and eBay has lower comps.

    @jlucchesi @Drogdor1 I think the whole layaway thing is confusing to BAM because this was very unique to the vintage Star Wars sets— there were a handful of customers probably just putting $5 down to layaway a bunch of stuff, then would post them on eBay and only buy them once they sold

    50s/60s ties used to be so much easier to find on ebay and etsy for cheap and now every search function is broken and old clothes are much more expensive than they were just 7-10 years ago

    @digitalassetbuy PayPal and Ripple have very strong ties together from the early days. PayPal was a Zero to One idea and eBay was the catalyst. It allowed PP to get massive volume quickly while integrating frictionless retail payment flow. Ripple is solving a similar issue for global banking. 021

    This is the stuff that drives me crazy selling on eBay.. USPS lost a package I sent out. It happens. Buyer tells me he never got it after 3 weeks. I check and tracking stopped 2 weeks earlier. I apologize and issue a refund. I get negative feedback for not psychically knowing he wanted a refund.

    @ryan61751601 @roselleavenue @CardPurchaser If someone really pisses me off, I use an old ebay auth issue email to have their team call me & I report it to an actual person. Works 100% of the time. But if you've never had an issue with an item going through their Authenticity Guarantee, probably won't work

    @eBay_UK Once again they have allowed fraud. Perhaps eBay should do AML checks and request identification before an account can be opened. I have written to you on here as your customer service just says we ran in to a problem please try again later….. really helpful

    @SamuelVimes10 I had the same problem with ebay, who have blocked my from buying "sharp objects" despite my account being open for 27 years

    @yourname2221 @GoldinCo @CardPurchaser I am likely going to close my account with them. The whole point of using an auction house is to not sweat out payments like this. A guy on Facebook didn’t get paid for 30+ days. Was hoping when eBay took over they’d fix this
