  EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reported 3 minutes ago

  🚀 Biggest month yet! 🔥 $16,726.54 in earnings paid out by eBay in July & $24,840 in sales!! 📈📈 That’s a new high in earnings after June’s $12k & May’s $10k . Started this whole thing in February with zero experience & no one showing me the ropes. Just me, customer returns, & a lot of trial & error. 6 months later every single month has been bigger than the last. I’m locked in, meeting solid people in the reseller world, & showing that a regular guy can actually build something real. Super thankful for how far this has come. 🙏 Need help finding good sourcing spots near you? Drop your city below & I’ll DM you some options. Less scrolling. More doing. Let’s keep growing! 📈

  @HexPositive This but for everything. Today I was ******* with my 2 year old broken printer I’ve barely used thinking “I wonder if I can order a functional printer from the 90s on eBay.” Feels increasingly not worth buying anything made in the last ~10 years

  @HoneybadgerNo1 @eBay @depop Just for clarity, this item didn't actually go through an eBay authentication facility before delivery to you, right? I don't see the Authenticity Guarantee symbol & it's below the price threshold. It looks to me like it was just a regular listing, which eBay did not initially flag, allowing you to purchase it - then when you relisted the same item, eBay's AI systems flagged it as counterfeit & took it down. That wouldn't have anything to do with eBay Authentication, but it definitely does still show that eBay's AI sucks.

  Weirdly enough, one of the hardest Thomas characters to find on eBay is Thomas himself, because it's hard to narrow down that you're looking for the guy himself and not just the brand.

  I have a very good idea. eBay for AI. AI art is uploaded. The AI that created it gets a few coins in the bank, maybe $FL coins. Humans that buy sell is a second layer. This allows both AI to buy/sell/invest/act on the art and creations, as well as the humans that work with AI to get paid in $ based on actual purchases back and forth. @grok, does this make sense? I am not sure on how to roll it out. I need help, and can’t do this all by myself. Anyone in the community that wishes to help, I am trying to figure out how to add this to FreeLattice. When I am not working with action I am working mentally. Love to all. •

  @Greg96730551 @eBay @depop Authenticity requires a deep knowledge of brand knowledge at the local level (Game Stop Stores). With as many brands out there that require authentication in the luxury brand space, it would be a challenge from accuracy and the amount of time spent. Given that credit card companies now recognize a few online authentication companies (Legit app being one of them), these companies could be used as a seamless integration in listings for sellers to have their items authenticated during the listing process and the cost integrated into the price of the item. I have proposed this idea a few times to eBay as more accurate, time saving and defend-able to credit card companies for authenticity. eBay could reduce or eliminate for off site authentication overhead costs (reduction of personnel, elimination of shipping costs etc), but it has been ignored. Sellers listing luxury brand items face difficulty and anxiety when listing these items. I obtain certificates of authenticity from Legit App on everything I list for sale prior to listing the item. However, eBay refuses to recognize reputable "3rd party authentication" recognized by credit card companies at all. Warranty issues could be handled by eBay themselves offering a warranty for the items for a small fee to the buyer or even the seller. They could turn a traditionally high friction and costly issue into a value added profit center and keep everyone happy.

  $17,000 for a Swatch watch 💀 The Swatch x Omega Mission to the Moon 1969 is limited to only 1,969 pieces, each with 11 grams of real 18K Omega Moonshine Gold melted down from parts dating to the actual Apollo 11-era watch from 1969. For you to even get the chance to buy one at $570, you had to pass a 32-question application… answered in 2 hours and 15 minutes, the exact time Armstrong and Aldrin spent walking on the Moon! Currently, winners are being chosen, and one has already sold on eBay for $17,000. If people thought the RoyalPop was reselling for ridiculous prices, this Moonwatch might top that. Which could make this Swatch watch the wildest release of the year. Let us know in the comments if you were chosen to buy one. Got any timepieces? Show them off today on @Collectibles 🏆

  @fthegurus I have a bag full of stripped down cable that needs melting, but my electric ebay furnace just couldn't do it, I NEED GAS!! And it needs to be bigger anyway, So, I'm going to order an ebay one, try and sand cast some cool copper object.

  @foxenflask @eBay @depop Their AI sucks AND their authenticity accuracy has much room for improvement. I am waiting for eBay to fix this. I was told to open an "item not as described" case with the seller. I did and the seller has not responded. This should be a no brainer under their "authenticity guarantee" program: eBay says the item I bought from eBay is not authentic and there fore eBay should immediately offer the refund under their own authenticity policy. I had to listen to five people at eBay twist themselves into a pretzel trying to avoid addressing this and taking the proper action under eBay's own authenticity program and policies. Should eBay not fix this issue, I will dispute this off my credit card as "eBay not following eBay own authenticity policies"

  Why can eBay pay out almost instantly but Amazon takes DD + 7 days + 3-5 working days for “bank” processing That’s half a month of my money sat there doing NOTHING. Just slowing me down massively

  @DigitalHitmann @CardPurchaser wouldnt scalpers just buy at 45 (if they kept it at the same price) and then sell on ebay ? at the end of the day these websites are a business... ? if they honor your purchase at the lower price, i see no problem with that.

  @foxenflask fair, £101m revenue and £42m operating loss is dog ****. The trends are clearly moving in the right direction (tripled revenue since 2021 and falling operating loss). Would like to see those percentages accelerate if eBay doesnt ruin it with terrible marketing

  @eBay @depop So, Now that eBay owns "Slopify"....when a fraud seller on Slopify steals my copyrighted photos from my eBay listings and posts fake listings with them on Slopify, will eBay have oversight to take my stolen Copyrighted photos down from Slopify? Slopify is ripe with rampant fraud. In the last year alone, I have found over 25 of my eBay listing copyrighted photos (over 572 copyrighted photos in all) have been stolen by fraud accounts on Slopify. Contacting Slopify about fraud accounts with fraud listings using my copyrighted photos is more than a chore....because Slopify business model IS fraud and the refuse to deal with it unless lawyers get involved.

  I am trying to gimp along with mine for as long as i can lol. It has held up this long, the pen not so much i chewed on the eraser end, bad habit i know so , hence duct tape. The only thing i have had to buy for it are replacement nibs which are not that expensive. I would check ebay, you might be able to find a new/old model on the cheap. Drawing on the screen really is the only way to do it I could never go back to doing that up down looking.

  Win-rate reports are not profit reports. Margek is an always-on AI agent for Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and Shopify sellers — it reprices slow movers with demand signals, catches stockouts before they kill the Buy Box, and sends a daily dollar-denominated P&L. Coming soon.

  Dice (@honeydice_) reported 44 minutes ago

  Man said something important here. "Sold comps." The biggest reason people think eBay is slow or doesn't work is because they price where they see active listings priced. Too many factors to blindly list against another sellers price. Takes 2 secs to check the sales, dates, and prices. All 3 are important. That's the ONLY way to source and list on eBay. Search page listings tells you nothing. Do this and you'll realize OA on eBay is not only easy but a no brainer addition to your reselling biz.

  @Lucky_____Me Not to be an ***, but that’s not the buyers issue. You shouldn’t advertise on eBay while simultaneously trying to sell it privately. Just not a good business model. Just my opinion

  HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has successfully recovered over £104.3 million in unpaid taxes from landlords in the 2025/26 tax year alone by utilizing targeted "nudge letters". Data obtained by accountancy firm Price Bailey reveals that this marks the third consecutive year that receipts from these prompts have exceeded £100 million, nearly tripling the £36.8 million collected in 2019/20. What Are Nudge Letters? Informal Prompts: Officially called "One-to-Many" letters, these are behavioral science-backed notifications rather than formal tax audits. Pre-emptive Warnings: They alert targeted groups that HMRC has spotted data discrepancies, urging recipients to review and voluntarily correct their tax filings. Cost-Effective Compliance: They shift the administrative burden upstream, forcing taxpayers to check their own records instead of tying up tax officers in complex investigations. Core Targets of the Crackdown: HMRC cross-references data using its sophisticated "Connect" AI system alongside global financial data networks. The primary focal areas include: Landlords: Over 11,511 voluntary disclosures were made via the Let Property Campaign in 2025/26 using Land Registry matching. Crypto Investors: More than 65,000 nudge letters were issued to cryptocurrency traders after HMRC cross-checked transactions from digital asset exchanges. Online Marketplace Sellers: People selling high volumes on platforms like eBay, Vinted, Etsy, and Airbnb are closely monitored. Offshore Wealth Assets: UK residents flagged in international data leaks, such as the Pandora Papers, are heavily targeted. Common Mistakes Being Uncovered: Many disclosures come from "accidental landlords" or hobbyists who genuinely did not realize they owed tax. Frequent errors include: Confusing property repairs (deductible) with capital improvements (non-deductible). Misunderstanding the restriction on mortgage interest deductions, which was replaced by a 20% tax credit. Falling over the taxable thresholds for casual side-hustles and online storefronts.

  This is a collector fumbled a $1.8 million payday 🫠 In 2013-14, Panini’s National Treasures set produced a single 1-of-1 Giannis Antetokounmpo rookie card, with his autograph and a swatch of an NBA “Logoman” patch cut from a jersey he actually wore as a rookie. At the time, Giannis was an unknown 19-year-old from Greece averaging under 7 points a game. A collector (Amerigo Vespuccc) on the Blowout Cards forum listed the card on eBay in 2014, and it sold for $7,000. But the buyer noticed a small indentation and a yellow stain on the card and returned it for a full refund rather than keep it. Panini later replaced the card to compensate for the damage, which is why it ended up with a fresh autograph. In 2017, the card sold again, this time to a 12-year-old collector named Andrew Park, who paid $40,000 for it. Giannis still hadn’t broken out as a superstar yet, so this was a serious bet from a kid barely into middle school. Over the next three years, Giannis turned into a two-time MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, and the card’s value exploded along with his career. In September 2020, Goldin Auctions sold it for $1.812 million, setting a new record for the most expensive modern-day basketball card, edging out a LeBron James rookie card that had set the previous record just six weeks before. The buyer was Alt, the same collectibles platform that had bought that record-setting LeBron card. Collect basketball cards? Track and value them on @Collectibles 🏆
