  @jffxns On the other hand, I've had a few people buy batteries from me on there and say they didn't work when I cycle test each one at full power before mailing out. eBay still forces me to give a refund, wasting my time and money so they can test their broken equipment.

  Here is what my mini AI PC will look like: > ASUS ProArt RTX 4060 Ti 16GB (Already have) > Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2×16GB) > Ryzen 5 5500 > MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi > Corsair RM1000x > Lian Li A3-mATX > Already have a spare Samsung M2 drive Total spent ~£470 Why this poor setup? > Budget AI local inference 24/7 build I already have 4060 16gb. Other parts are used sourced from eBay apart from combo as a new mobo, cpu, cooling, and the case. This 4060 is power efficient and quiet for what it can do. Gemma 4 A4B fully loaded to GPU. Also, current local AI development seems in favour of fairly capable models fitting this card. Off loading to DDR4 is also an option although not great from what I understand - Let's see! Why am I doing this non-sense? - Well, I believe in privacy like local to go. I can always spin up API for cheap when needed as well. I already searched for options to invest to Mac silicon and although I found pretty neat deal for M1 machine it would still ended up with slow speed regardless the model space available. And, it still wouldn't be under £500, more-less double! Wish me luck! Follow for development of this project :)

  Traditional Way: You buy a PSA 10 Charizard. Seller ships it. You wait. Risk of fraud. Risk of damage. High eBay fees. Slow settlement. Collector Crypt Way: You buy a PSA Charizard. The physical card stays inside the vault. Instead, ownership transfers instantly on @solana. If you ever want the physical card, you burn the NFT and they ship the card to you.

  @TrentTelenko I’ve already seen a few on ebay. The only problem is the sellers say, “Local pickup only. And bring 400 gallons of diesel fuel.”

  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.

  Ebay fraud remediation is broken. You identify and remove fraudulent sellers from the platform, but leave active orders untouched! Buyers are forced to fight bots and fake tracking numbers instead of getting automatic cancellations. Fix this system loophole. @eBay @eBayDE

  @LewisHHenley I'll open my Shopify store when I get my tax ID. There's been an issue from a former life. I'm working on another avenue but I'm waiting on a letter from OKTAP. I could try to fly under the radar and just point all my OK customers to the eBay store and sell out of state because I'd be way under the tax nexus, but I don't want to take that chance.

  @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.

  Tuomas Holmberg breaks down how @CollectorCrypt is changing the game by compressing settlement times and cutting out the middleman. ​"If you want to rotate from modern to vintage cards without getting wrecked, you're paying 13% in fees out the gate. Then the auction takes 7 days, and eBay holds your money for weeks. How are you supposed to buy the next thing?" ​"But with Collector Crypt and what we're building, you can go in and sell a card for $10,000. Once that settles, you have that money within a few seconds, and then you could go and buy something else." ​"If you're in our Discord, we have a trustless swap, it's free. You find a buyer, we don't take anything on that. That's all up to you in the negotiation. You don't have a middleman there taking 2% of every trade." "We want people to go into our Discord, find deals, and negotiate without having to pay. If you list it on our marketplace, we only take 2%. Even if you do that, it's very cheap."

  Here's the thing — recyclers quote cracked screens in a defined 'faulty' category. A cracked Galaxy S24 can still fetch £80-£120. eBay? Lowball offers, dispute risks, and you're competing with repair shops bulk-listing identical broken stock.

  Big agencies only want big brands. Private sellers on Amazon, eBay, Instagram, TikTok, Shopify get nothing. Built PrivatSchub to fix that — the first social media agency built for exactly you.

  @SomeBitchIIKnow I almost wonder if it’s an intentional feature like when you search for something on eBay and the exact thing you are looking for appears for a split second and then is trust down off the screen replaced by bullshit you don’t want. When you scroll down to find it, it’s not even there anymore.

  @QE4Everyone Johnnysan knows you can wire an old sound recorder to pick up sound clear down the street. It's all in how you wore the projects. Johnmysan lives in area 51 and used me to sell stuff on eBay and escape taxes B's or fears of eBay he had himself. I don't have to kill johnnysan but

  @AMCbiggums Everyone fears big dilution but if we acquire ebay we will have a much much higher market cap and default share float.. so the math is completely new when RC would issue more shares. Am i wrong here?

  @SleeperMLB @SleeperSTL Perfect stage for a market that's gone quiet. Jordan Walker's cards have cooled off hard, just 30 eBay tracked sales at a $34 average this past month, down from 159 sales at $48 back in the spring. Still a former top-100 prospect with a $1,500 top sale on the board. A Derby moment is exactly the kind of catalyst a sleepy market like this wakes up on.

  @sspjoel1 Hey there, yes I’ve sold on eBay but lately I’m just too busy so I have taken my stuff down. I’d recommend buy it now and do something between 2-3% prompted in my experience. Heard that from someone else and I feel it helps.

  @DarkLordoftheIT @rekdt It's like eBay. People leave reviews, they don't get their money unless you approve the purchase and I've never had problems with psychedelics. The COVID era was very fun... Lol

  You can't watch competitor prices 24/7. But your competitors can. Built PricePulse to fix that. Monitors Amazon and eBay around the clock, automatically adjusts your prices, sends you daily intelligence. So you're not reacting to price moves—you're making them.

  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.

  @staypredictable So, gme holders have 1 gme, ebay 2.84. For every current 1 gme share, there will be 3.84 after merger. 1/3.84=.26, meaning your ownership of gme is now 26% what it used to be. Debt isnt free, and overleveraging where ev >> mc will slam the price down
