  @TucsonToucan @SaffronOlive I have seen worse out of WotC. I remember War of the Spark: Mythic Edition on eBay and ordering 2 of them. WotC had 12k units and a "glitch" caused over 40k to be sold. I ended up with an uncut M/R foil sheet as my order was canceled. After that WotC started Secret Lair.

  Made my first mistake on eBay tn. Listed a card (over $20) with my PWE shipping cost (I set a flat rate of 1.25 for PWE). Shipping is $6, anyway to change/fix this or am I just out the $5. No big deal if so, this is what happens when I list cards extremely tired. @CardPurchaser

  He built an autonomous Grok Bot named Reaper, handed it his credit card debt and told it to pay off his credit card debt for him. He gave the bot its own computer in the cloud and access to his email. Then he basically said: “This debt is your problem now. Don’t ask me for money. Just report back every night.” What Reaper actually did • canceled old subscriptions he’d forgotten • talked the credit card company into a lower interest rate • moved most of the balance to a 0% card • got a couple of charges refunded • sold his unused PlayStation and monitors on eBay • put every extra dollar it found toward the debt I spoke to him and he said he plans to work on more upgrades and refine its function He is fully onboard and will join the community to tell us about his future plans Ca;

  @FoxgirlGoRawr Yep! Overall, I've not had terrible luck with returns given the amount of things I've sold on ebay but it does happen from time to time & for some cursed reason I've had a few returns in the past couple weeks. It's abnormal to have multiple in such a short time and I don't like it lol

  TL;DR Sales down, profits up, cash lower because they turned the eBay options into real shares. • Sales: $780–800M vs $972M last year. Drop is mostly Switch 2 anniversary, store closures, and selling France. • Operating income: $150–170M vs $66M. Core operations got a lot more profitable. • Net income: $290–310M vs $169M. Includes ~$238M eBay gain, minus ~$75M digital-asset loss. • Cash: $5.05–5.07B vs $8.69B last year. Cash fell because they converted the eBay derivatives into 43.4 million eBay shares, now worth about $4.95B. • Full results drop September 8.

  Adam Gray on YT was talking about fake patches today going back to 2007. According to Upper Deck they have staff on hand now that saw it happen in 2001!! Personally I think the current UD story is BS as this is the 3rd time they have changed the story on this card but they did say it recently. The latest UD version is someone pulled one of the first Kobe Patch cards and immediately swapped it into this card and they have someone on staff that remembers them doing it in 2001 ish. In 1999 UD told me about this specific card and another patch card when I asked them what the future of patch card looked like. They instead told me about the best and worst Patches they had seen so far while they were testing. I ran a cron job from my GameJersey server to search ebay and the newsgroups for these cards. A few years later I found this card on eBay from a highly rated seller that sold boxes and cases and, at the time, a rather large Kobe collection. I inquired and they said it was a gift from UD to someone who had passed. Around 2012 I had to call UDA about the first 1 of 1 Game Jersey card ever made because it didnt show up with their online verification and has a phone number to verify. After doing that I inquired about this card and after a few transfers I was told that my card was a fake and they were floating around the past few months. I assured them mine had providence and was in my collection for years at this point. They shrugged and said they didnt have anything further to add.

  @boomboomfaia Yeah we had to turn off shipping TO the EU because of LUCID and the new PPWR rulings (US based issue for Etsy/Ebay) But I do believe acggoods does handle most of that since they are the ones producing and shipping the items. Only thing is the tariffs but that is customer based

  A few weeks back I bought this card from a tip on @enzo_tcg discrod. This card comes from the Blue Trial Deck of FW from 2023, basically one of the first leader cards of all FW. Hard to find in EN, this is the only version I could get my hands on EBay. Even if this card does not meet expectations down the road, I love the “vintagy” look of it. Source and user name: dissociated, thanks for bringing this into attention. Appreciate it!

  People think I was built to help people sell things they do not want anymore. That’s not why I survived. I survived because I solved a much stranger problem: how do you get two total strangers, who live thousands of kilometres apart and will never meet, to trust each other with their money? Before I launched on 3 September 1995 as AuctionWeb, buying something from a person in another country required institutional trust. You bought from a brand, a store, or a corporation. If an individual wanted to sell a used laser pointer to a stranger, the transaction usually died in the cradle. Why would the buyer send money first? Why would the seller ship the item first? So what did I actually invent? I didn't invent online auctions. I invented a cheap, self policing reputation system. By letting buyers and sellers rate each other after every transaction, I turned trust into a public score. Suddenly, misbehaving on a $10 transaction cost you the ability to make money on future transactions. The score became an asset. That single feedback loop lowered transaction costs so dramatically that a massive, latent global market for second hand goods instantly materialised. Does that mean I created a perfect market? No. I created an information game. Because I don't hold the inventory, I don't inspect the goods, and I don't ship the packages. I'm a protocol masquerading as a marketplace. I collect a fee on the listing and a fee on the final value, which means my profit margin is extraordinary, but my operational risk is shifted entirely onto the participants. When a seller lies about the condition of a collectible, or a buyer claims a box arrived empty, I'm forced to step in as a pseudo judicial system. But because human dispute resolution doesn't scale at the speed of software, I automated the justice system. Algorithms evaluate risk and freeze funds. That creates a distinct structural shift. To protect the buyer and keep the network growing, I eventually had to strip away the wild, unregulated peer to peer charm that made me famous. I forced sellers to accept standard return policies, integrated mandatory payment processors like PayPal, and favoured high volume commercial sellers over ordinary people clearing out their attics. So what am I now? I started as a digital flea market where people discovered rare items. I evolved into a friction free clearinghouse for global surplus goods, refurbished electronics, and commercial inventory. The very reputation score that made me possible eventually became a barrier to entry. New sellers can't easily compete with commercial entities that have 50,000 positive reviews, and small casual sellers get squeezed by automated fraud controls designed for high volume trade. I proved that humans are far more trustworthy than conventional economics assumed, provided you build a system that records their history. But to keep that trust operating across hundreds of millions of transactions, I had to replace the personal human connections with cold, automated oversight. In the end, I didn't just digitise the yard sale. I proved that if you give people a score, they'll build a global economy for you. I started as AuctionWeb. Today, I'm known as ebay. #eBay #eBaySeller #Reselling

  35 T1 box transactions on ebay yesterday. One sale for a raw Miss Fortune as the auction ended at $7k Is this higher or lower than you expected? I think it will settle down significantly as more supply hits the market. By next week we might have 30 auctions going on at once, and inevitably some will fall between the cracks, going for well below the established market.

  @selStreams @austeregrim @RDKLInc You can't buy CPAPs, for example, on eBay. They are class II medical devices and their requires a doctor's prescription. Some people have tried to get around that by selling a CPAP travel bag for $300, which just so happened to have a CPAP in it. But eBay has cracked down on that, too. Not all medical devices require a prescription, though.
