  Fluff (@SenorFluffy33) reported 7 minutes ago

  I got a strong offer on eBay, but would like to keep this sale off eBay. 2003-04 Fleer Authentix LeBron James Rookie /1250. I can send video, but truthfully, the only issue are the edges (very common). A BGS 7.5 did $425 July 7th, a raw with an upside down picture did $312 August 6th. $300 shipped gets it done. I do recommend sending in to get graded, as the 7.5 grade edges look somewhat similar to mine. The only other knock on that one was the centering, which truthfully, I don’t know how to tell centering on this card lol

  @Braves_Jacob @CardPurchaser In my experience lower end cards sell faster on Vinted. Higher end sell better on eBay. They payout as soon as the card is delivered. They give the buyer 48 hours to report any issues. I’ve never had any issues. If anything goes missing in the post, Vinted refund you.

  I will not delete this time, that means as per the flawed system i do not have access to my .@XMoney account, that means i can't check for fraud, i can't verify 2 deposits from an ebay account i just added, i can't lock my virtual card etc.. etc.. This is a flaw in the system that i've exposed several times now. I realize it's my choice to delete or not delete. I already appealed this, i did the last time too. I said the last time i was going to close the xmoney if i had to delete it to get access. I lied, i didn't. But, i will this time if i have to. I say that meaning, if i have to delete before the appeal is seen, meaning more than 48 hours. It's a flawed system that xmoney is not accessible when your account is locked out, because you are being held by the ***** and x's terrible review system. This profile image is NOT a violation, and x knows it, but getting someone to fix it, it's another story. .@Chimpnnout

  JUST IN: GAMESTOP ISN'T QUITTING EBAY. IT'S REPACKAGING THE DEAL The reported shift from a $56B takeover to a partnership is less a retreat than a read on what's actually achievable. A cash-and-stock deal at that size always carried two problems: a financing gap and a skeptical eBay board. A partnership removes both obstacles. GameStop's 1,600 U.S. stores become the asset that matters — authentication, fulfillment, live commerce. That's the same thesis as the takeover, without the balance-sheet risk. The 9.75% stake plus potential board seats gives it meaningful leverage even without control. If this happens, the real question isn't whether the deal dies. It's whether eBay cedes enough operational territory in a partnership to hand Cohen the influence he wanted anyway. What would eBay get in return that it couldn't build alone?

  TIFFANY FISHER ARTIST (@TiffanyArtist56) reported 13 minutes ago

  @AngryNetwrk One more thing I want to mention that you guys do not know about. I got caught by Rovio again and it’s due to the Commissions. This time I got DMCA’d by eBay where they took down my listing because it featured all of my Angry Birds custom plushies I made (which were not made for sale) and they think I was selling them which was not the case. I should’ve put disclaimers before it got taken down but eBay had limits that prevent me from editing the listing due to a good amount of watchers I had. Now the listing is just labeled as Tiffany Fisher Artist Commissions. And I didn’t use images of my Angry Birds custom plushies for it.

  A company hated a tiny newsletter. So it sent the writers live spiders and a bloody pig mask. It just cost them $55.7 MILLION to say sorry. > Ina and David Steiner ran a small trade newsletter called ECommerceBytes from their home in Natick, Massachusetts, covering eBay and other online marketplaces. > In August 2019, Ina published a story about eBay suing Amazon over poaching sellers. > Thirty minutes later, eBay's CEO Devin Wenig messaged his communications chief: "If you are ever going to take her down now is the time." > The instruction to eBay's security team was even blunter: "Whatever It Takes." > What followed was a coordinated harassment campaign > The Steiners received live spiders, live cockroaches, a bloody pig mask, a funeral wreath, and a book about surviving the death of a spouse. > Pornographic magazines were sent to their neighbors under David's name, and their house was listed on Craigslist as a nightly destination for "swingers." > That same month, eBay's security director and two employees flew from California to Natick, followed David around town, and tried to plant a GPS tracker on the couple's car. > The Steiners reported the rental van's license plate to local police, which unraveled the entire scheme and brought in the FBI. > Seven eBay employees and executives were criminally charged; all pleaded guilty, with the ringleader sentenced to 57 months in prison. > Wenig resigned in 2019 but walked away with $17 MILLION in compensation that year plus a $40 MILLION severance package. > The Steiners sued in 2021. > This week, nearly seven years after it began, eBay and several former executives agreed to a final $55.7 MILLION settlement, $48.7 MILLION to the couple, $6 MILLION to free-press charities, and a public statement admitting the conduct was "wrong" and "reprehensible." A publisher wrote one story a CEO didn't like. His team sent dead spiders and a pig mask to her house. It took nearly seven years and $55.7 million to fix.

  @MarkMattern35 @FIPmyWHIP @CardPurchaser It's not a money thing. Having actual humans meticulous grade an item takes TIME. The main issue is/was that folks were submitting millions of crappy cards that were essentially worthless. Go look at ebay. This is PSA's way of saying only submit cards worth grading.

  @SWT_Channel That's true. You have to have a combination of used video game stores, websites like eBay, and yard sales. A lot of it does come down to luck. For example, a year ago I was able to find a CIB (map also included) PS3 copy of Red Dead Redemption for $5.

  @helikessunsets @beeeeeeaan Hiya, I just bought one. If I PM on eBay, could you maybe hold off on posting till the 12th? I move into my new place on the 14th and if it’s sent off now it’ll deliver before I move in which could be an issue

  @sharkies71 proxying is not new by any means, she just helps find and secure cards for as cheap as possible. i paid roughly 375php (like £4) with fees, which is so much cheaper than i’d be able to find myself given terrible international shipping rates on apps like ebay

  A Yale professor recorded one semester of game theory in 2007 that quietly explains how Google, eBay, and every online ad exchange on earth extracts over $500 billion a year from advertisers. Yale charges $86,000 a year to sit in that classroom. He posted every lecture to Yale Open Courses in 2008 for nothing. Millions of people have watched. Almost no retail trader, founder, or negotiator has used the framework. His name is Ben Polak. He is a Yale professor, former Provost of Yale, and one of the most watched university lecturers in the history of the internet. The 62-minute clip in this video is one lecture from his course ECON 159: Game Theory, taught in the fall of 2007 to a packed auditorium of Yale undergraduates. Polak covers the entire mathematical foundation of strategic decision-making in 24 lectures. Dominant strategies. If one option beats every other option regardless of what your opponent does, pick it. Everything else in game theory is a workaround for the fact that dominant strategies almost never exist in real games. Nash equilibria. The point where no player can improve by unilaterally changing strategy. Almost every price on earth is a Nash equilibrium. Every wage negotiation, every auction bid, every trade in a market with millions of participants converges to one. Auctions. The mathematical difference between first-price sealed-bid, second-price sealed-bid, English ascending, and Dutch descending auctions is worth billions of dollars a year to the entity running them. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction. eBay is an English ascending auction with a proxy bid. Treasury bill sales are Dutch descending. Each format extracts different value from bidders. Almost no bidder knows which format they are in. Evolutionary strategies. Why cooperation sometimes wins over defection in repeated games. Why the tit-for-tat rule outperformed every complex algorithm in Robert Axelrod's famous 1980 tournament. Why almost every stable business relationship on earth is a tit-for-tat game. Every hedge fund pays entry-level quants to know this material. Every big tech company hires PhD game theorists to design its pricing pages. Every corporate M&A negotiation is priced by consultants who charge $2 million a deal to apply the same equations. "Never play a strictly dominated strategy." That is the first rule Polak teaches every semester. He calls it the only rule game theory is entirely certain about. Retail traders violate it every time they add to a losing position because taking the loss feels worse than doubling down. The lectures are free on Yale Open Courses. The problem sets and exams from 2007 are still online. Every equation Polak derives fits in under thirty pages of a textbook. The math is free. The willingness to sit through 24 hours of game theory before opening a bid box, a trading terminal, or a negotiation is a much rarer commodity than the confidence to walk in without it.

  Six tools, ten hours a week, one human doing the job of an agent that should already exist. I built Merchwing to fix that. It watches your Amazon, Shopify, and eBay listings around the clock, rewrites for SEO, queues reorders, and reports which keywords drove your Buy Box.

You get an owner’s stake in a new platform. We get sellers who make it better. DM to claim a spot. Ai for Everyone. 🧬 @CardPurchaser #buildinpublic

  My experience w/ most large inventory engines like Amazon, Google, Pinterest, Etsy, Ebay, etc- is that they are having massive scale problems with search. Every single one of these is omitting listings w/ exact key word matches from search, while serving less relevant ones.
