  @eBay @eBay @AskeBay Banned for doing absolutely nothing. Haven't bought or sold anything in years, but got permanently suspended. Help links are broken and customer service just spammed me with copy-paste robot responses. Stay away - avoid them. dont use. #eBay #eBaySpam

  A 16-year-old made $94,000 last month from a Google Maps tab and a voice that isn't his. The voice belongs to a 38-year-old man. The 38-year-old man doesn't exist. Pause at 0:32. The screen recording opens on what looks like a normal bedroom. Posters on the wall. A bunk bed in the corner. An Xbox controller next to a half-empty Gatorade. Standard high school sophomore setup. The active window is Google Maps. He's panning across Tampa. Then Charlotte. Then Indianapolis. Then Salt Lake City. Four tabs, four cities, each filtered for plumbers, dentists, HVAC, auto repair, and roofers. His spreadsheet has 847 active leads in it. Next to the laptop is a second monitor showing a soundboard. ElevenLabs in the browser. A noise-cancelling mic on a boom arm. A headset hanging off a textbook. The soundboard has six labeled tabs across the top - INTRO, OBJECTION_HANDLING, PRICE, CLOSE, FOLLOWUP, VOICEMAIL. Each one plays in a different voice. Same voice across all six. Deep. Mid-Atlantic. Slight Midwest tilt. Sounds like a guy in his late 30s who's been doing B2B sales for 15 years. The voice is "David Reyes." David Reyes is listed as the founder of a web design studio called Northwind Local on a Lovable-built site that takes 0.4 seconds to load. David doesn't exist. His face is a Higgsfield generation. His LinkedIn has 1,847 connections and three "About Me" paragraphs Claude wrote. His phone number routes to a Twilio line that forwards to the 16-year-old's iPad. When a business owner calls back, the kid types responses into Claude, and ElevenLabs streams the audio in David's voice through the line in roughly 1.2 seconds. The conversation feels live. Because it is. The workflow that gets him to $94K runs in three layers. Layer 1: Lead generation. He filters Google Maps for businesses ranked #6 through #25 in their category - slightly lower than the original 18-year-old's filter (he says ranks #4-15 are now "over-mined" by other operators). He runs the filter across 4 cities simultaneously. 200 leads per week minimum. He pulls each business's website, runs it through a Claude-powered audit script that scores it on mobile responsiveness, load time, lead-capture form quality, and recency of design (anything pre-2020 gets flagged). The script outputs a one-line diagnosis per lead. "Site loads in 7.2s on mobile, no booking widget, copyright says 2019." That line becomes the cold-call opener. Layer 2: Outbound calling. He doesn't make the calls himself. He runs the calls in batches through a custom dialer that opens 15 simultaneous lines using rotating Twilio numbers registered to the local area code of each city. When a business owner picks up, the dialer routes the call to him. He types the script. David speaks it. The opening line is always the same. "Hi, this is David Reyes from Northwind Local. I noticed your site takes about 7 seconds to load on phones and you're missing a booking widget - costing you roughly 40% of your inbound leads. I built a faster version of your site this morning. Can I text you the preview link to look at?" 47% of the business owners say yes. He texts them the Lovable preview, which the audit script auto-built the same morning. The preview is genuinely fast. Genuinely mobile-first. Genuinely better. The conversion isn't a trick - the deliverable is real. Layer 3: Closing. David quotes $2,400 to deploy plus $200/month for hosting and updates. The kid says he tested $1,800 in the first month (the 18-year-old's price) and closing rates barely moved when he bumped it to $2,400. So he kept the higher number. Average call duration: 4 minutes 18 seconds. Average time from cold call to Stripe deposit: 11 hours. His close rate on calls is 18%. The industry standard for cold B2B phone outreach is under 1%. Someone in the replies asked why owners don't realize they're talking to a kid. The answer is that they're not — they're talking to a 38-year-old man with a Mid-Atlantic accent who answers every objection in under 1.5 seconds. The 1.5-second lag from his typing to ElevenLabs output is roughly identical to a real person's processing pause. It feels human because the cadence is human. His Stripe progression: June $11,200. July $34,800. August $61,400. September $78,000. October $94,200. Total revenue since June: $279,600. His monthly stack cost: $1,840 - ElevenLabs Pro ($330), Twilio credits ($740), Claude API ($340), Lovable Pro ($30), Higgsfield ($100), the audit script's compute, miscellaneous. Margin: 98%. Recurring hosting revenue from past clients: 312 active accounts at $200/month. That's $62,400/month in pure passive income, independent of new sales. By his 18th birthday, the recurring alone will outpace his cold-call revenue. Someone tried to replicate the stack. Built the audit script. Cloned a voice. Made 200 calls. Closed two clients. He posted a teardown asking what was missing. The kid responded: "You used your own voice and your own face. The whole point isn't the script - it's that the person they're talking to has to sound like someone who's been doing this for 15 years. Your real voice is the problem. Build David first." The 4-city geography wasn't an accident either. He picked Tampa, Charlotte, Indianapolis, and Salt Lake City specifically because they're mid-tier metros with strong local search traffic, no aggressive digital agencies, and area codes that don't trigger spam filters when called from Twilio numbers. He runs the calling block from 4pm to 6:30pm on weekdays (after school, before dinner) and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays. His mom thinks he's selling Pokémon cards on eBay. Someone DM'd asking if he ever feels weird about the impersonation. He responded: "David's a better salesman than I'd ever be. He doesn't have an accent that gets ignored. He doesn't have to prove himself. He just closes." Last week he closed 41 sites. The week before, 38. The week before that, 35. He's 16. He's been doing this for 5 months. He's on track to clear $1.4M by his 17th birthday. Somewhere, a 42-year-old marketing agency owner in Tampa with three full-time SDRs and a $14,000/month payroll is wondering why his cold-call pipeline died this quarter. Why every plumber in his city tells him "we already got a website from Northwind." He isn't competing with agencies. He isn't competing with freelancers. He's competing with a 16-year-old who doesn't have to talk. Heads up on the invented details - flag any to keep or swap: Numbers: $94,200 last month, $279,600 since June, 847 active leads, 200 leads/we

  Day 125 Total sales: $320.98 Buy cost: $30.07 eBay earnings: $190.04 Refunds: $70.50 (Address issue, purchased again) Net profit: $159.97 ROI: 531% 3 item day. Another solid day. Nothing crazy. No home runs. Just a few good items sold to a few good buyers. The longer I do this, the more I realize that success in reselling isn't about hitting homeruns every day. It's about consistently sourcing good inventory at the right price, listing it, and letting the singles add up. One item becomes two. Two become five. Five become hundreds over time. Day after day, the process compounds. Most people overestimate what one day can do and underestimate what 125 days of consistency can do. Keep sourcing. Keep listing. Keep learning. The results take care of themselves. Still building. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

  @Bradleyflowers This whole story (EV or ICE) is what will keep me in my pre 2010 vehicles forever if possible. The mirror in my truck was broken in the same way. Expensive little bastard for what it is ($700 new), on account of it being power, power folding, heated and has downlight and turn signal on it. Found a used OEM one on Ebay for $250. Took me abt an hour to swap out, good as new. Tech is awesome until it isn't.

  🔍 Let's break down WHY this deal matters beyond the headline. @Payoneer's real value isn't its brand — it's the RAILS. The strategic logic: ✅ Merchants can now "accept payments" AND "pay out globally" under one vendor ✅ Shared compliance, fraud controls & volume on the same network = lower per-transaction cost ✅ Harder to replace = higher switching costs for enterprise clients ✅ Emerging markets + Amazon/Walmart/eBay marketplace relationships = instant distribution The signal to CFOs: the standalone cross-border payout provider is becoming extinct. Integrated checkout-to-settlement platforms are the new standard. Source: Finimize / Reuters, June 9, 2026 @Nuvei @Payoneer #B2BPayments #PaymentsInfrastructure #CrossBorder

  I take no pleasure in saying this, but it’s the truth. You could reduce headcount by at least 30% at most big Corps and the business would not be impacted whatsoever. Unless you’ve experienced both big Corp and SMB, you can’t fathom just how bloated most big Corps are. If you’ve only worked big Corp you don’t know any different and assume it’s how businesses must run. If you’ve only worked SMB you don’t know what it’s like to have a 20 person HR Department. It’s interesting to see people like Ryan Cohen go into eBay and Elon Musk go into Twitter and essentially ask “what the hell are all these people actually doing?” Excessive bloat is painfully obvious to them on day 1. The harsh truth is activity inside most Corps is centered around individual self-preservation and internal optics. Everyone is busy. Deadlines. Meetings. Presentations. Hustle. Stress. Many performative acts of hard work. Problem is the majority of that “stuff” is internally focused. Not nearly enough leaves the 4 walls and impacts the business. The ratio of work to meaningful output is wildly out of whack. When I worked at Kraft Heinz I got promoted for “being good in meetings”. I’m not kidding. My bosses trusted me to handle conversations w their bosses (and their bosses), which was extremely valuable to them. And up the Corp ladder I went. AI will of course accelerate this dynamic. While most big Corps will be slow to fully adopt AI, over time it’ll only shine a brighter light on the bloat and inefficiency. To be clear, layoffs suck. Real people are impacted. But if you work in a big Corp you need to understand you’ll be skating on increasingly thin ice over the next decade. It only takes one leader or activist investor w non-conformist thinking to risk being cut. Regardless of your tenure or what your latest performance review said. Plan accordingly.

  @BasedAndRight_ @christiandoana You're just full of assumptions aren't you.. No wonder you never made it anywhere in life other than a keyboard warrior.. I sold 5 million on eBay inside of 3 years.. Also you failed to read the "alone" part which meant that was just eBay. I had a retail shop and sold pallets of good over PayPal to others across the country. What you need to do is sit ******** down and stop thinking you know everything dumbass. Also just bc I've been self employed doesn't mean i started selling on eBay in 2005 jackass. Again your assumption are way wrong bud.

  🚨 eBay Authenticity Guarantee has a shipping problem they need to fix Grabbed this Edward Florentino 1st Bowman Chrome purple auto /250 and it landed with damage. This one wasn’t even in the card saver. Case opened and we’ll see what happens. As an eBay partner I’ll keep raising this until it’s addressed. Verifying the card means nothing if you can’t ship it right.
