Polymath (@polymathhhhh) reportedThe founder of Twitch built his first startup without talking to a single user. It sold on eBay. That's not the exit you want. Here's the lesson that changed everything: Who you talk to matters more than what you ask. When Twitch pivoted into gaming, they did something they'd never done before. They went and talked to users. Not to validate a feature. Not to show a product. Just to understand who was out there and what their lives actually looked like. And the first thing they discovered was this: Talking to viewers gave them one set of feedback. Talking to broadcasters gave them something completely different. Broadcasters determined where viewers went. Follow the broadcaster and the audience follows. That single insight shaped three years of product decisions. They would have missed it entirely if they'd talked to the wrong group. The three groups you should always be talking to: Your own users. Your competitor's users. And non users. Most founders only talk to the first group. That's a trap. Your own users are already tolerating your problems. The fact that they use your product despite its flaws means those flaws probably aren't the most important things to fix. Your competitor's users are more valuable. They know the space. They've tried multiple options. They have real opinions. Converting them is easier than creating new behavior from scratch. But the most important group ? Non users. The people who haven't tried anything yet. They tell you what's blocking the market from growing. What's so broken they won't even try. What would have to change for them to care at all. At Twitch, non users said things like: my computer isn't fast enough. I don't want competitors seeing my tournament strategy. I'd rather edit and upload to YouTube. None of those were feature requests. All of them became product decisions. Twitch bought people computers. Built streaming directly into Xbox and PlayStation 4. None of that came from talking to existing users. All of it came from understanding why people weren't users yet. The question every founder needs to answer before anything else: Before you think about what to build. Before you write a single line of code. Ask yourself: Who are the five types of people I need to talk to ? Not who's easiest to reach. Not who's already on your forum. Who actually has the problem and whose behavior, if you understood it completely, would tell you exactly what to build ? That question changes everything. Everything else comes after.

hector comacho (@ArizonaRedNeck2) reported@bullyb170 We deadass have UFC fighters posting fake screenshots of cards from EBay to actively scam fans. We’re at a new level of down bad in this world. Dana just pay these dudes already 😭
-
Gcubed (@3G2point0) reported@TrevorWilliamsX @CardPurchaser @eBay No. It’s too late. I missed the 30 day window. The seller initially told me he had an issue with the address. The package wasn’t mailed because he “mid-labeled” the address. I was trusting that I was working with fair minded person, lol.

Tony Denaro (@Tony_Denaro) reported@Chicken__Head Nothing against GME - I truly want to see Cohen take over eBay and believe he will do whatever necessary to get that done. And I'd love to see it. I sold on May 1 into the evening run up because 1) it presented a great profit opportunity for my $20ish cost basis and 2) the rumor of acquiring EBAY was likely to drop GME's price. It is a pretty normal dynamic in takeovers that the target price goes up, acquirer goes down. Finally, 3) it was not the 'buy a cheap cash-flowing business at a discount in a market crash' use of cash I had envisioned. Instead it is a "buy an expensive company at a premium while taking on an enormous amount of leverage and creating enormous execution risk." I think most $GME social mediua accounts sidestep, minimize or ignore the risk-side of the offer, which is par for the course for social media and why everyone acts confused why the price is coming down despite a great quarterly result. None of this means I will avoid re-buying $GME. It just means I am waiting for a good price (in my judgement) to minimize my risk and I figured it would come back down to close to $20 - we are almost there. Take profits, wait, re-buy. My normal M.O.

Gestalt (@___Gestalt) reported@bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx if you buy on eBay the transaction is not complete until the seller delivers the product to you, the seller is responsible for any issues in shipping

🐝🇬🇷 (@bee_fumo) reported@gnukeith I wonder if these will be enterprise devices and down the line you'll get them for a fraction of the price on ebay, much like thinkpads.

Aaron Lemke (@aaronlemke) reportedMy ADU was broken into recently and several musical instruments were stolen. So I built Vigilanthony An agent who tracks stolen items. It has a list of all my stolen items, and every morning scans online marketplaces like Craigslist and Ebay along with several **** shop sites surrounding the Austin area. It then analyzes the results and looks for matches with my item list. No hits yet but we will stay vigilant. ✊

Frank (@FrankRants) reportedYall can't be mad at Ryan Cohen. He has been honest with you from the start. GME was a dogshit company when he took over. He finally has it turned around however, this was always a long term investment. RC has said so. If you are bothered by the price being dogshit now, I suggest selling. It could easily be another 5 years before you see a significant return. He really stepped in to save a bunch of retail investors from a terrible investment and he's doing that but it wont be fast. Let's see if he gets ebay. That would be transformational but it requires all the big players to approve of it....because they are the ones who will vote on it. Stop checking the price every day and go outside. Love your family. Check back in every few months. As long as Ryan is in I am in. Oh yeah....and shorts never closed. 🚀🚀 #gme #rocket

Beepz⁷⁷ (@MexicantrevorZ) reported@Brookenbells I dunno cause I shouldve checked if it couldve been refunded or not they might just say its an ebay problem

The 617 Hub (@The617Hub) reported@BosCardHunter @BourbonInvestm2 Two ways to handle this in theory - the way eBay does it now or total sales and then total reviews (real) and let ppl deduct no issues. The automated feedback is usually hidden to users so it’s effectively total sales. I don’t have issue with it. People who wanna leave neutral or negative will do so usually.
-
Mike Soberdude (@soberdude79) reported@ImSoSmart1985 @Malone_Wealth Of course. When GME acquires eBay, GME will go down. When they become the most profitable company in the history of the universe, the share price will drop 5%. When they own everything everywhere except the hedge funds, it will drop 3%.

YouWillBeOffended (@UWillBeOffended) reported@3G2point0 @CardPurchaser @eBay 1. eBay Money Back Guarantee might still help Even if you’re past the standard 30-day window from the estimated delivery date, open a “Item Not Received” request in your Purchases right away. Go to the order, hit “More actions,” and report it didn’t arrive. If the seller keeps dodging, ask eBay to step in after a few business days. They often side with buyers on non-delivery, especially with a paper trail of the seller admitting they never mailed it and promising refunds.  2. Payment method is your backup • PayPal? You usually have up to 180 days from payment for a dispute/claim. Log in and open one for “Item Not Received.” • Credit/Debit Card? Contact your bank or card issuer ASAP for a chargeback. Explain the situation with screenshots of messages, promises, and lack of delivery. Many issuers are buyer-friendly here.  3. Other steps to take now • Document everything: Save all chat messages, the original listing, tracking (if any), and dates. • Message the seller one more polite-but-firm time: “Hey, still no card or refund. Please issue it today or I’ll have to escalate with eBay/PayPal/bank.” • Check the seller’s feedback and report them if they’re sketchy. In most cases like this, buyers do get their money back one way or another – eBay hates scammy sellers too. If the amount is small, it might not be worth huge stress, but don’t let them get away with it.

KuriusC (@c_kurius) reported@RupertLowe10 I wouldn't dream of setting up a business and I'd double down on that after reading what you have to say. Even selling a few bits and pieces on ebay is fraught. If you were to say make £1500 selling your own little hobby paintings, the government is after tax on that now.

james (@james432100) reported@joshpearson180 Yeah on ebay cashing in so what’s the issue with a fan doing it? £290 btw

CarolinaMama (@IamCarolinaMama) reported@bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx I smell some waste, fraud and abuse going on here. By hiring and retaining criminals (who steal and likely resell the goods), FedEx should be liable as an accessory to a crime imho. Best Buy owes you a refund, but FedEx is knowingly supporting a criminal. I’ve had similar issues buying on eBay for electronics to disappear at the USPS. The tracking number in limbo forever, postal service offers no help. Just inexplicably lost in a facility. Seller refunded, but there must be a **** ton of criminals in shipping. I’m really getting fed up with all the fraud.

Sebastian (@s3sebastian) reported@loyalmoses The main issue for many of the filament brands is the ruinous pricing in the last 2-3 years. And it's hard to stand out, what does their filament do better than the one that is sold for 5-6 € or $ per kg in bundles of 10 spools on AliExpress/eBay? Most PLA/PETG is OK in quality.

AJ (@CardGameNomad) reported@SakurasCardShop It's crazy, because on eBay, a great chunk of Japanese boxes listed are from Chinese sellers lol They are definitely causing a massive issue for Japanese boxes.

ThatTrippyArt (@TrippyAiArt) reported@jrtradez777 @bankboy24 Nope...I still don't see the issues? Questions like this come with running your own buisness and an eBay shop is no different

Jyles (@Jylesss) reportedyou can auction straight through PSA —> ebay. 5k fees are only 7%. you can get even LOWER fees through other consignment companies like DCSports87. (only 3% on 5k+) this card WOULD NOT go for less than 12k on the low end. 93% = $11,160 on a 12k sale 97% = $11,640 on a 12k sale so yes, 9k is a terrible offer - however not all their offers are bad & the “instant” liquidity is cool.

GC. (@quar1an) reported@eToroAU Amazon will crash because loyal customers like me will switch to temu or ebay when they take more than 2 weeks to solve account problem.

aaron berger (@PhxFSD) reported@TeslaNewswire I have the same issue goes in a loop and ebay is also involved. I contacted @Apple support and the advisor will let me know when there is a fix she has never seen this glitch. It is preventing the Tesla app from updating and Ebay

THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported@Mark_Rathgeber There are a lot of used SAS <4TB HDDs on EBay going anywhere between £3-£5 per TB. I bought ~30 of them myself & had 1 DOA (not worth returning tbh). Most been going 24/7 for past 3-4 months without any issues even though most had almost 50K power on hours at time of purchase
-
George Lutas (@GeorgeLutas1) reported@paulg I've spent a heck of a long time looking at the eBay marketplace specifically because they've devolved into utter insanity, and while it IS rather difficult to handle that double exchange issue well, there are cracks in the armor (at least in the case of eBay). Maybe generalized?
-
Caucasian from Caucasus (@JlB77007) reported@bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx I was selling stuff on ebay and shipping them via FedEx. Couple time when the item was damaged due to FedEx handling they refunded me. So I don't see what is the best buy problem if FedEx admitted its responsibility. BTW by doing sow FedEx kept me as a customer and I improved my packaging.

HBK (@TommyTasty) reported@lachlanscards Does just starting a eBay account mean you’re poor? Or a kid? I get what you’re saying but I’ve sold to many (0) accounts and never an issue. People love Ohtani. I could easily see someone doing this. Plus that card is so expensive and doesn’t look shilled at all
