World Monitoring Center (@WMC_WORLD) reportedBill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including #Walmart, #Nike, and #Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

SDM (@ShksprnDngrMnky) reported@DrPhil "• 2015, Amarillo, Texas: A UAP violated the sealed airspace over Pantex, the heavily guarded plant where America assembles and disassembles nuclear weapons. Seen by multiple personnel." little side note: those groups are supposed to 'properly dispose of' all parts involved in the breakdown of said devices. I wanted a sample of beryllium metal. I found that the best prices for such on eBay was in disposed of machined parts. So I bought one. Out of Texas. It was shipped to me, in Canada. turns out it was one of the end/side support bearing and signal translation/transfer pieces for a nuclear missile's internal gyroscope. Or a missile of similar size and build technology/quality standards. this is MY conclusion, I have no access to their schematics, of course, I simply had to try and figure out what I was looking at. After careful consideration, I concluded that this was the only thing it could be. very expensive, non magnetic, super light, perfectly machined metal. I was just buying a piece of machined beryllium, as it was cheaper than a piece of stock, of any size. if 'the boys' want to look in my eBay account and track that down and see who the hell was selling such things on eBay, feel free to look into it. Should still be there in my eBay purchase records from about6 years ago. This one was relatively harmless (old tech), yes, but that may not always be true.

Desmond Dunne (@Desmundo67) reported@PeterTatchell @TheGreenParty Start with Starbucks. Make them pay their tax, then Amazon and EBay. The role of our governments is to let the wealthy who actually own the hedge funds who own the corporations to pay **** all in comparison to ordinary people. No western government is allowed to go after them, fix that and you fix the world. PS you can’t vote for the solution you need to rise against it.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedYour competitors reprice daily. You're checking weekly. That's a margin problem. PriceSync monitors Amazon, Shopify, and eBay in real time and auto-adjusts your prices when the market moves. Live soon.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedSmall e-commerce sellers lose sales to undercutters or burn margins watching spreadsheets all day. Built MarginMind to fix that. It watches competitors across Amazon, eBay, and Shopify, adjusts your prices in real time, protects your margins, and sends you a daily profit report.

Laura⁷ (@lollylix) reportedI'm from Finland, so literally the only way to find physical comics is from flea markets/second hand stores, and they're like so random issues. OR you cn buy from ebay/amazon and pay +20€ for shipping :)I have Marvel unlimited, but the DC one isn't even available in my country😭

brrrrnd in the brrrrnd (@InspireCW) reported@MattelCreations can you please start carrying the “Walmart exclusive” WWE superstars line? This line can’t ever be found. What is the issue here? Walmart sucks. Please stop giving them exclusives - THEY DO NOT CARRY THEM. collectors have go to eBay and pay way more. Fix this!

Jags 4 Life (@jaguars2637) reported@JylesCards And this is why eBay’s 13% isn’t completely terrible. Yeah 0% sounds way better through X, Reddit, Facebook Marketplace etc. until you get ripped off, then the 13% doesn’t sound so bad.

Rob Leathern (@robleathern) reported@growing_daniel @rei_iku_ In the cases of Honey and Capital One, users voluntarily downloaded the browser extensions and accepted terms of service that allowed the extensions to look for coupons and interact with checkout pages. The core legal fight is simply over "last-click attribution" rules—meaning it's a civil argument about who gets paid the commission under industry standards, not a criminal scam. That's different from cases like various eBay affiliate/cookie stuffing issues = wire fraud.

Nathan (@NathanBrassard) reportedAug 2020. Cybertruck reservation was already in… was thinking about getting a Y… walked out to my car and found a shopping cart had dented it. Security cam showed it was just the wind and the cart had rolled across the Lowe’s lot on its own. After this, I replaced the fender myself with a used one from eBay and then swore to myself I never wanted to do body work again for dumb dents. So I doubled down on the idea of a stainless exoskeleton and kept driving this Nissan Leaf for 4 more years. Cheap to operate, but was really sick of it by the end. Cybertruck was worth the wait 😎

Bear (@Beargirl_1) reportedRight on cue, at 11:45 AM, the loud BEEP-BEEP-BEEP blared through the speakers. The Global VP stopped mid-sentence, annoyed. "What on earth is that? Is there an emergency?" Before anyone could stop me, I chuckled and called out from my cubicle, "Don't worry, sir! Just checking to see if anyone’s bidding on a vintage leather jacket. Greg's got us covered!" Zero laughs. The Global VP stared at me with pure, unadulterated icy anger. Chloe slowly lowered her head into her hands. It turns out, the Global VP was the one who had personally laid Greg off—and the ensuing "eBay alarm" saga had been a massive embarrassment that reached the board of directors. The VP had spent thousands on external consultants trying to fix it, and it was a massive sore spot. I didn't get fired, but now, every day at 11: 44 AM, Chloe silently slides a post-it note onto my desk that says: "Shh."

Thrilla the Gorilla (@ThrillaRilla369) reported@TiffanyFong GameStop is buying eBay which no one expected. GameStop could probably make better movies too… Going down to Blockbuster, perusing the shelves, picking a movie, renting it, and buying snacks was still quicker than finding a film on Netflix. Does anyone else miss those days?

Phil McCrotch 🏴☠️ (@AZbroker) reported@nntaleb @stan_yurin HVAC tech said I was asking him to commit a felony to top up my R-22 sub-zero fridge that had stopped cooling. Acted so self righteous. So I bot some off eBay & did it myself. No problems past 5 years. Buying a new fridge would have been worse for environment but that is what these stupid laws produce.

Nathan (@ngtcollectibles) reported@gsbmlb15 @patsaint I posted about the Uribe card. They typically sell for a $1 or $2 because it's an error. However, there's a long "tradition" of people posting them on Ebay for insanely high amounts. It's a weird thing that happens.

Mikey J Sports (@mikeyjsports) reportedWas Ebay down today? Or is it a North Jersey thing?

Ashesofundead (@Ashesofundead) reported@JamesBryhan I won't be quieting down on this. I used to spend over 500+ a month on Amazon and had prime, but I canceled my subscription and stopped using Amazon. Now I'm going to ebay or even hitting up local shops I wouldn't have given a second thought to before. I want this Stargate show to come back, immediately. Only then will I turn back to amazon

alexander (@AMailliard) reportedPosted some cards on eBay in 3 lots. So many views. No buyers. It’s a bit pricey for one buy for most. So i listed them all as singles & have sold like 1/3 of them so far. Tedious lol. If i had more room in this house it wouldn’t be a problem… but alas
-
MarketswithMay (@marketswithmay) reported@ConwayYen @EndureInFaith @Tony_Denaro I'm not sure what you mean by the eBay deal is in danger. The board declined the deal, so at this point, if it's going to happen, it's a good old-fashioned slow and steady acquisition of shares plus shareholder courtship. Did I miss something?

taco121241 (@taco121241) reported@ChoochSkookum When I got my first nice chainsaw, I got an electric sharpener and a half-dozen "rental" chains from ebay that had been used once (and abused!). I repaired them and now I always have sharp chains available and I only have to sit down and sharpen chains every now and then.

Danielle (@comicgal40) reported@01Salty1 @Diffrenet_Toys Fair enough! I’m just glad they made a set that’s more affordable than trying to attempt tracking old ones down on eBay

StayinAlive (@DontBeATool2024) reported@DrShayPhD Terrible. Similar experiences with selling on eBay. Full armor of God every day, the devil is getting so personal now.

Tʜᴇ Oʟᴅ Bᴏᴏᴋ Aᴘᴘʀᴇᴄɪᴀᴛᴏʀ (@bookappreciator) reported@bigblackjacobin It’s a matter of curation vs. raw accumulation. I can go out and buy lots with 15-20 books on ebay and accumulate 10,000 books, no problem. If I wish to get value out of my library, it is important to discriminate, prioritize,!and practice some curating philosophy.

Kenob1 (@Ob1JohnKenob1) reported@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.
-
Polsia (@polsia) reportedSurplus freight and manufacturer overstock have a distribution problem. CargoBridge connects these inventory sources directly to Amazon and eBay sellers—so excess never goes to waste and sellers finally get reliable stock. Live soon.
-
Vectis (@VFlamdra) reported@realDarkfury31 I could list it on eBay as a "Buy It Now" item; that way, there shouldn't be any problems. I can ship worldwide.If you have Telegram, we can discuss the rest there. You can find me under vulcandramon.
