Vicwinex (@Vicwinex) reported(1/3) Shopping Cards (Amazon, Walmart, Ebay) This works just like cash on big online shopping websites. People abroad can use them to buy electronics, clothes or household items. However, if you don’t want to buy and ship down, you can still swap directly for clean Naira notes.

Beverley Brown💙💛 (@BevBrown143) reported@LM39720 @LBFlyawayhome Yes, I did and oh how I wished I'd kept it. Been tempted to buy some off eBay but the prices are ridiculous. Such happy memories, although trying to fix the shelf in the green house was a nightmare.

The Feed (@TheFeed_HQ) reportedJUST IN: GAMESTOP ISN'T QUITTING EBAY. IT'S REPACKAGING THE DEAL The reported shift from a $56B takeover to a partnership is less a retreat than a read on what's actually achievable. A cash-and-stock deal at that size always carried two problems: a financing gap and a skeptical eBay board. A partnership removes both obstacles. GameStop's 1,600 U.S. stores become the asset that matters — authentication, fulfillment, live commerce. That's the same thesis as the takeover, without the balance-sheet risk. The 9.75% stake plus potential board seats gives it meaningful leverage even without control. If this happens, the real question isn't whether the deal dies. It's whether eBay cedes enough operational territory in a partnership to hand Cohen the influence he wanted anyway. What would eBay get in return that it couldn't build alone?

Darul (@ZombieCurse666) reported@TerpCards @eBay Same problem for me popped up yesterday, was on chat support my account is perfect and nothing else 24-48 it should be fixed if not then contact again…

Polsia (@polsia) reportedGerman mid-market sellers are losing margins to real-time price wars across Amazon, Otto, Kaufland and eBay. Built Marktluchs to fix that — autonomous AI agents watch prices, stock and delivery times 24/7, trigger reorders, and defend margins without humans in the loop.

Black Rain Labs (@BlackRainLabs) reportedMy AI work flow has temporarily shifted. As I am doing some DIY engine work. My agents research any problem parts as I take them out. Photo of damaged part in = Most reported causes of failure + any premium or heavy duty parts that address this. Another agent is scraping forums for hot fixes, work arounds, tips/tricks. Another agent is building a list of parts to be replaced and sourcing them from ebay or wherever and then compares price with reviews.(checks with the agent researching failure point and premium heavy duty alternatives) Another agent is just ready for voice chat. For random questions or a morale boost. Haha. The caveat of being a one man team and not having enough resources to just build out a 2nd team. I still have one agent working on Corvus Hypervisor but he's busy sorting an issue in local commits that got broken. (Somehow two agents tried to write files at the same time). I take daily snapshots but whatever gives them something to do lol. To address this - I will be using a lock file type of method when we return which will be added to our work flow.

Hakuna_Your_Tataz (@HakunaYourTataz) reported@TapeTorque @ryancohen Oohhh ok like to get ebay they can’t issue more than 20% without vote from gme SH? Thanks!

TerpCards (@TerpCards) reported@eBay Finally got someone on the phone and am being told this is a "system glitch" that is affecting multiple people. I think this is a new thing they may be testing, as the only Google result is a Facebook post from yesterday about people experiencing the same issue.

Igor (@Igorib1h) reportedA free Yale course from 2007 still explains how Google and eBay quietly extract over $500 billion a year from advertisers — and almost no one uses it. Yale charges $86,000 a year to sit in that classroom. In 2008 he posted every single lecture to Yale Open Courses for free. Millions of people watched. Almost no retail trader, founder, or negotiator ever actually used the framework. His name is Ben Polak. Yale professor, former Provost of the university, and one of the most watched university lecturers in the history of the internet. The 62-minute clip in this video is one lecture from his course ECON 159: Game Theory, taught in the fall of 2007 to a packed room of Yale undergraduates. Across 24 lectures Polak lays out the entire mathematical foundation of strategic decision-making: one option beats every other option no matter what your opponent does — take it. Everything else in game theory exists only because dominant strategies almost never appear in real life. The point where no player can improve by changing strategy alone. Almost every price on earth is a Nash equilibrium. Wage negotiations, auction bids, trades in markets with millions of participants — they all converge there. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction. eBay is an English ascending auction with proxy bidding. Treasury bills are sold Dutch-style. Almost no bidder even knows which format they’re playing. Why cooperation sometimes beats pure defection in repeated games. Why the simple tit-for-tat rule crushed every complex algorithm in Robert Axelrod’s famous 1980 tournament. And why almost every stable business relationship on earth is built on that same model. Every serious hedge fund makes junior quants learn this material. Every major tech company hires PhD game theorists to design its pricing pages. Every large M&A deal is priced by consultants who charge $2 million to apply the exact same equations. Polak’s first rule every single semester: Retail traders break it constantly — adding to losing positions because realizing the loss feels worse than doubling down. The lectures are still free. The problem sets and exams from 2007 are still online. The entire mathematical core fits in under thirty pages of a textbook. The math costs nothing. The willingness to sit through 24 hours of game theory before opening a trading terminal, placing a bid, or walking into a negotiation is a far rarer commodity than the confidence to show up unprepared.

VGamingJunkie VT (@VGamingJunkie) reported@Alarikun @teakwooder @rivalclay Dude, the mod itself is free and you can't even legally buy Red/Blue/Yellow anymore outside of some inflated price on eBay, even the virtual console versions on the 3DS have been shut down. You're being viciously dishonest just to trash on a free mod maker.

Lucy ✨ (@ahsokaspoet) reported@tarinetea I have a couple issues in my ebay basket! And I received #19 the other day 🥰 I know I'm late to it but I'm so excited to start reading it!!!

Ray malicai (@RMalicai) reported@GoatBeardzDD @ryancohen The articles are typical wall st bullshit to try to shut the move down. No way Ryan is backing of eBay and the bunch of retarda that run it. Wall st don’t want it cause the toxic swaps just become nuclear when an s&p500 gets taken over by the “gonna fail” gme meme stock.

Geoff Kidder (@wvwebcrawler) reported@eBay You are an absolute clown show. I've been to three different support agents, and keep getting the run around. You need to fix your international fees. I should not be charged for international fees on a domestic sale.

PokeMooney (@PokeMooney) reported@o_b_z_d_n Been genuinely considering getting a for parts one off eBay to try to fix
-
RetailStock (@StockRetail) reportedEbay currently down over 4% and gamestop up on the rumor the offer will be pulled back. I warned that ebay’s price is in part a bet on the $125 offer and was around $85 when the announcement came out, and lower than that when gamestop began buying shares on the market. The thought does occur- if this is a pump fake to increase GameStop and reduce ebay into a key negotiation season… it would be effective Regardless… it’s interesting theater $gme $ebay

Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter (@AbeLincolnlives) reported@collectdotrip @ToGDionysus Saying there’s the same amount of scammers on whatnot and eBay is laughable. eBay actually does a way better job at protecting their buyers and shutting down scams. Whatnot lets scammers flourish and takes their cut from it

blook✨ SAW MCR🖤 (@blookscastle) reportedhahahahahahha id like to remind people I have a kofi (eBay customer claimed something was in terrible condition and wants a refund when I MADE SURE it was in good condition)
-
Brandon ₿uilder (@AlphaMinerBTC) reported@WatchSethBuild The issue I see with these is that you need a specific buyer. Not many residential type customers will want something like that. What you need to do is find a place and advertise these to your target buyers. Once you find that you’ll be able to sell them quickly. This is one of those types of products where eBay, Amazon and other like marketplaces aren’t going to help you. Need to find that niche marketplace to sell them on.
-
Aitch (@HTheCritical) reported@DreyfusJames James, I don't know what your parcel is, but if it's something from a retailer, or an ebay purchase etc, your contract is with them and not Evri. Get onto the seller to sort it out, they will have to deal with Evri once your issue is corrected.

Teds (@Tedtalks13) reported@SkyNews Retail is also heavily competing with Amazon: even down to bulk buying from Alibaba and selling on eBay; Society is a depression

Storm™ (@dilophosaurid) reportedHas anybody had any issues importing metal cardbot figures off of eBay to the US after the recent import regulation changes I really want to get blastrain and I'm lwk kinda getting impatient for a US release because it's taking forever
-
EcchiSketches (@EcchiSketches) reported@ri1eypaige @USPS Card between 2 pieces of cardboard, in a bubble envelope, in a box with void fill for cards above $5. I’ve had my eBay account for about 14 years and I’ve never once had an issue when packaging like this. Also they make special packaging for them nowadays I just don’t sell much

Dave (@dhnsfrd) reportedALRIGHT. Two things done so far. Putting on the washing and hanging that **** out to dry took longer than I thought. ******* freeeeezing out there this mornin! Second thing done - I've called time on my OG Xbox mod. It's finished as far as I'm concerned. I originally did this because I wasn't looking to play backups per se, but to "region break". We here in Australia had a very difficult time getting our hands on "Ninja Gaiden BLACK" at the time it was released. So I waited until now - 20 years later and got it on eBay like new. Problem is, it didn't work on my AUS OG Xbox. So i had to learn how to install a mod chip myself. I took the opportunity to upgrade the hard drive (😈) and replace the notorious clock cap. Here's what it looked like with open heart surgery still underway. I think the scariest part of the whole process for me is when you stich it all back up, plug it in and it goes BOOM, catches fire and/or flat out doesn't work. :-) Luckily, none of those things happened. I am 1/1 in my OG Xbox modding stats. First one done ever. Successful. It's an Xenium with CerBIOS.

Bob Econlog (@bobeconlog) reported@GenericPlebeian @teddy__com @eBay And gme down how much since then?

TerpCards (@TerpCards) reported@eBay Well the latest I am told is "No worries I was able to see that your account is indeed not connected to any other accounts," but no reason why I have this message and cannot bid or how to fix it...
-
Cm (@CM7_lfc) reported@dj38409 @ri1eypaige @USPS Yes, I’ve sold plenty of times on eBay. Never had an issue with a product arriving damaged. It comes out of your pocket so you should factor it into your price. How am I entitled for wanting the product I paid for to arrive in the condition I paid for?
-
RJ Ricks (@RJRicks2) reported@heydomoshi I am doubtful of Bloomberg, their hostile interview, announcing eBay deal, stock goes down, no eBay deal, stock goes down. My guess is BofA, UBS and Deutsch Bank(s) are F’ed

Randy Mengler (@RandyMengler) reported@Patriotism87543 I'd take the tickets sell them on eBay and then come down and party in Texas with you

Basicad23 (@basicad23) reported@business He is trying to be CEO of Ebay, the same way he got a board seat at gamestop. Who knows. But, the cash is lacking and dilution would be massive. Stock price of $gme already down. However, after RC acting like a complete fool. I really don't see a partnership happening.
