    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.

    @ThePokeMD It’s fine had a similar issue before. eBay rep basically said if it is a fake card then it will always get rejected so this “miscategorization” isn’t related to authenticity etc

    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.

    A few weeks back I bought this card from a tip on @enzo_tcg discrod. This card comes from the Blue Trial Deck of FW from 2023, basically one of the first leader cards of all FW. Hard to find in EN, this is the only version I could get my hands on EBay. Even if this card does not meet expectations down the road, I love the “vintagy” look of it. Source and user name: dissociated, thanks for bringing this into attention. Appreciate it!

    @CardPurchaser How many cards are being sent now at $80? I doubt everyone will stop. Plus ebay showed me a 49.99 grade with psa offer on a card i was looking at so some people are probably using that. This could be the new model. Prices may never come back down.

    35 T1 box transactions on ebay yesterday. One sale for a raw Miss Fortune as the auction ended at $7k Is this higher or lower than you expected? I think it will settle down significantly as more supply hits the market. By next week we might have 30 auctions going on at once, and inevitably some will fall between the cracks, going for well below the established market.

    @aupdegraff24 @CatNihon Same with eBay. I keep calling them about a listing that they suspended showing them that it should be back online. They said they will fix it within 2-3 business days and they never do.

    Ive had an £80 offer from ebay for the first game (pictured) down from £100, but the manual has a tear mark so that puts me off. But I might pop back into that shop and get the sequel first as its a good price if its good condition.. Tis a shame only now Im interested in these!

    As most of us know, there have been plenty of people opening and selling 30th anniversary product early across Whatnot and other platforms. Over the past week TPCi has decided to put their foot down, specifically with sellers on Ebay. Several sellers have been contacted by Ebay and informed that their early listings for raw Pokemon cards from the 30th anniversary set have been taken down. Ebay claims the listings were in violation of their stolen product policy. I wonder if TPCi will go after Whatnot themselves and other platforms to root out the source of the problem....

    @Pacho9_3 It looks like eBay just took down another seller of the 30th pre orders. Seems only seasoned sellers like footballpete and a few others are actually safe. I think I’ll avoid posting 30th eBay links regardless moving forward until September 16th

    My librarian Janet was running a book laundering scheme where she checked out books under dead people's names, reported them lost, pocketed the replacement fees, then resold the "lost" books online. Discovered this when my dead grandmother's library card got a overdue notice. "Grandma's been dead for three years." "Oh no, our system must have glitched," Janet said. But the book was real. Someone checked out "The Goldfinch" under her name last week. I checked records. Grandma's card had been active for three years. 47 books checked out. All "lost." All replacement fees paid from a account I'd never seen. Confronted Janet. "You're running a fraud scheme with dead people's library cards." "I'm maintaining circulation metrics for funding purposes." "You're stealing." She showed me the books budget. Cut by 40% over three years. "I'm keeping this library alive. The replacement fees fund new books. The 'lost' books get resold. Money goes back into the system." "Through your pocket." "Some administrative costs are involved, yes." She'd been doing it for five years. 200 dead people's cards. $180,000 in replacement fees. Books resold on eBay for another $90,000. All money went back into library programs. Story time. Teen literacy. Computer access. "You're Robin Hood but make it books?" "I prefer Marian the Librarian but yes." I should've reported it. But the library was thriving. Programs everywhere. New books weekly. Then an auditor noticed the pattern. Investigated. Found everything. Janet was fired. Police got involved. Community rallied. "Janet saved this library." Petition to drop charges: 4,000 signatures. Charges dropped. Janet was rehired with "enhanced oversight." She's not allowed to handle money anymore. But circulation is down 30%. Programs are being cut. Janet started a nonprofit. "Friends of the Library Foundation." Runs fundraisers. All legal now. Raised $200,000 last year. Library is thriving again. I asked if she missed the scheme. "Every day. It was elegant. But this is better. Harder, but better." My grandmother's library card finally got deactivated. Last book checked out under her name: "How to Get Away With Murder." Janet swears it wasn't her. I believe her but I also don't.

    🚨 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!

    Just bought 180 tested video games across generations for about $2.50-$3 / game. The previous batch was $2/game. Sounds crazy when you can see on eBay some of these only selling for $6-8. But I also see something that made me question this. 52 minutes south of me a video game store exists that sells these games for at least $20+ The same games you’d comp on eBay for much less. Why? Because it’s hard to trust random sellers and in this niche I’ve see people want to buy from people they like, people they trust and people they vibe with. Therefore I’m buying a disc refurbishment machine and offering a “warranty” to my future customers where if a disc stops working, we’ll fix it to the best of our ability. I’m also packaging games with the consoles we test and increasing the prices and will have a branded website off of marketplace platforms. Does this take reselling to the next level? Yes. Will it be difficult for me? No. It’ll actually be quite fun and we’ll act a little bit like game informer for retro games. If it doesn’t workout? Cool. If it does? That’s a fun way to resell.
