    🚨 SOS Card Peeps! Need some help ASAP please. 🚨 I received an offer on My Acuff 1/1 card on eBay. The guy offered me a fair price and is now negotiating with me…I’m totally fine with that, but in our chat (on eBay) the user name keeps changing…when I click on the first name at the top of the chat it seems like he is a legit seller/buyer. When the other name pops up, it says “error” Is someone trying to scam me or is this some kind of issue with eBay’s messaging?!? Thanks in advance!

    @KXAN_News It's becoming like eBay: used, imperfect items marked down 5% from brand-new prices. "That hoodie may still be new at the mall- but yours is missing the strings, has a hole in the back and a stain on the front- plz tell me how you think you deserve $58 for this"

    Beware of this eBay seller. Purchased a J Baez lot when he was hot and I had to cancel and refund him because it sold on Mercari probably 15 minutes prior. He purchased it literally as I was taking down the eBay listing. I messaged him and apologized and refunded him immediately. Well… he left negative feedback and said he never got the cards.

    Explain the issues for us to see if you're trustworthy or not. It's a 10$ card man you're not giving the winner a Tesla. If you don't have the card in hand, just Buy it on eBay and just send it to him... If you won't do something this simple, please stop trying to infiltrate your way into this space.

    @RDKLInc Yeah… they don’t want to give you the working ones anymore, either. It’s starting to get so bad, even the repairable ones are sorted out first, too. Even on eBay, most “defective, for parts, not working”, are listed after repair attempts only, and they try to scam not disclosing

    It’s so easy to open your phone, hop on eBay and buy a PS2 game Any time I want to add an NES game to the collection I have to sit down and figure out what inserts came with it and which variant I want to buy and THEN dig through listings to see if there’s even a CIB listed

    @hmefsww Hi, unfortunately I closed my website store down as they were charging a ridiculous amount to sell things. To keep prices reasonably I had to find an alternative and only have eBay at moment. I could do it via paypal cutting out ebay if you would like?

    @CardPurchaser @CardPurchaser why have you all-of-a-sudden been focusing primarily on selling cards and how on eBay lately? Like micro breaking it down. Like obsessed with it.

    @JDAlexOfficial @eBay They are bloated and it’s why many individuals online rally against using eBay, Walmart, Amazon, and big corporations that have pulled the wool over our eyes and kind of forced lots of local businesses to shut down

    They seem to think they are THE Majima yume or want to come across as such, had an issue with me and my merch collecting, thinking I spend a fortune... if they only look at ebay prices, I can see how they maybe think that. lol But in the end...

    @Oscvr9_ Hello! Best way to price sealed is to refer to eBay last solds for sealed - do not count any unsealed. Often I find issue with sold items under “best offer” and the listed price being the sold price. For this reason I always use 130point to get most accurate prices w/ offers.

    @DanzelAlex Just unscrew the panels, and take them down normally! 🤦 Then you can put them up in your next place or sell them on ebay to recoup your losses! 🤦

    @AmmarNasirMD I was just checking some out on eBay and they’re reselling for almost $400 but I don’t feel like overpaying for it honestly. I’d rather get some shirts down the line or the black Nba final hat

    Interest income and eBay gains don’t create operating income. Sales down ~19%. Operating income up ~141% at midpoint. You can criticize the dilution all you want. Pretending there hasn’t been an operating turnaround is getting pretty hard though. $GME

    PayPal's real product in its early years wasn't payments. It was survival. The company was building something that regulators, banks and its own biggest platform had no category for. Stefan Heck: "It was a true disruption of a very established, very regulated industry, right? Payments, banking… and they were doing things that didn't fit an existing category." Not fitting a category meant almost everyone with power over PayPal had a reason to switch it off. Reid Hoffman, who became Peter Thiel's firefighter chief, describes the job he was handed: "Make sure eBay doesn't drive us off the service. Make sure Visa doesn't shut us down. Persuade the federal government that it's okay that we're not a bank." Nancy Lublin on the person they sent to handle it: "He was the wolf. I mean, he was the fixer." John Lilly remembers how routine the existential threats became: "I remember we had breakfast one time. He said, 'I have to leave at 8:30 because I got to get on the plane to New York to go talk to Eliot Spitzer, the attorney general of New York, who's suing PayPal for basically anti-money laundering type things.' And he's like, 'I just got to go fix this and here's how I'm going to fix it because New York was convinced that PayPal is being used for gambling, all sorts of other things at the time.'" There was no playbook, because the category didn't exist yet. So the company argued from first principles: "It was fun because part of what ends up happening is you say, 'All right, well, what's a bank? Like, what defines a bank? How do I persuade them? I've never talked to a regulator before. All right, let me go figure out how this looks.'" While all this was happening, PayPal was outgrowing its own ability to operate. June Cohen: "Their customer numbers had grown so exponentially that they could not keep up with customer service and they actually just made the decision that that was a fire they weren't going to fight at that moment." That was a decision, not a failure. The company sorted its problems by one test: "There was a whole set of fires at PayPal where if you didn't solve them, value of the company zero, out of business." John Lilly on how that worked in practice: "Here's the one, two, three top priorities. Everything else I'm not going to worry about right now because if I get these three things right, everything else will be okay." The fire that passed the test was eBay: "If eBay had turned us off, if we were no longer to operate on eBay, no initial users, no traction, no network effect, no ability to grow." And eBay had every incentive to do exactly that. John Lilly: "eBay had its own payment system that was competing with PayPal. PayPal was winning. And so I think those got very complicated and eBay very much didn't want to have to buy PayPal and eventually they felt like they had to." That's the ending. PayPal survived on someone else's platform long enough to become the thing that platform had no choice but to acquire. A reporter at the time: "We know these guys very well obviously because so much of their business is in fact on eBay. The synergies of putting these two companies together were incredibly outstanding and it just seemed like the right time to get this deal done." PayPal didn't win by solving its problems. It won by correctly ranking them and letting the rest burn.

    I’ve started a daily series on projects that already have something real but the presentation still hasn’t caught up to its potential. Project Breakdown #72 — @ChaseCardApp ChaseCard is a live aggregator. You name the card. Set, language, condition, budget. They watch every marketplace. Beta is open. Alerts are already going out. Umbreon 38% under. Gengar 45% under. That is a real loop. The page does not show the loop. It shows a still of a deal and a link to apply. A collector already hunting grails will get it. A stranger sees another TCG promo card. Two problems. The watch is invisible. The product is not “Umbreon is cheap.” The product is ChaseCard catching it across shops while you sleep. That is motion. A price still is what eBay already posts. Motion is the alert hitting, the listing opening, the card matching the chase. The feed is one template. Photo. Percent. Link. Fine for proof. Weak as a brand. A ChaseCard frame should be the chase itself. Card. Target price. Hit. Same rails every alert. Then the beta link has a face. They already have the deals. The page should look like the watcher, not like the listing. See you on the next one.
