𝕁𝕒𝕪 𝔹𝕠𝕓 & 𝕊𝕠𝕟𝕤 (@JayBobSons) reportedIs that like 8% sales tax? That's the biggest issue here, the 13% eBay cut has pretty much always been there, I feel like its payment for the 👀. So very often eBay is king!

Buckie58 (@Buckie5886) reported@_adamccc @CardPurchaser @eBay I've seen hundreds of these by now. Blows my mind they haven't instituted one of like 50 different ways to fix the problem.

pancake_akechi6 (@_monoprix) reported@xEPluribusUnum @EvangelionShots don’t use amazon unless it’s amazon japan, it’s safer to buy from individual japanese resellers only issue would potentially be shipping costs but i enable the « free international shipping » filter on ebay

Dr. Sports Antagonist & Dr. Card Economist (@ourtradingcards) reportedEbay seller that combine S1/S2/Update (inserts) (parallels) in drop down menus are so easy to avoid when searching players... Often times the card(s) (you) are after have been sold but the search still picks up the listing... I get why sellers do it, but as a buyer, it's easy to move on to an individual listing...

Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reported$EBAY DID NOT ANNOUNCE THE FINAL VOTE COUNT. They are still counting and results will be released in an 8K within 4 business days. $GME and its warrants are up sharply post-meeting. At the same time, a Federal Judge has reopened the harassment campaign lawsuit against eBay’s board and management. It looks like eBay’s in trouble…..

EuropeMac (@EuropeMacApps) reported@gmoneyNFT the issue Mac studio with more 96gb of ram isn't available anymore so you have to wait , but it is smart move (don't spend 40k on 512gb Mac Studio on eBay)

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedFrom 2019 onwards, $EBAY has a pretty impressive rap sheet: - 2019: Execs ordered a stalking campaign against blogger couple the Steiners. Sent live bugs, a pig mask, and a funeral wreath to their home. GPS tracked their car. CEO Wenig ("take her down") walked with $57M severance. Never charged. - 2022: 7 employees convicted. Ringleader Jim Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison. - 2023: DOJ sues eBay for selling 343K emissions defeat devices and illegal pesticides. Potential $1.9B exposure. - 2024: eBay pays $3M criminal fine (statutory max) to DOJ for the stalking. Same month, pays $59M for facilitating illegal pill press sales. - 2026: Steiner civil suit ($466M punitive ask) settled, then collapsed. Trial set for Jan 2027. Multiple DOJ actions. 7 convictions. Billions in exposure. A decade of self-inflicted chaos. Utter waste of shareholder capital, while the business and the margins have become stagnant at best, and way behind at worst. Is this board and CEO really the best to run this iconic American brand?

Verlaxify (@Verlaxify) reportedI also forgot to include the mention of a post I made yesterday about people that are scamming their viewers and making people pay money for Sprites and this wasn't directed at Phill and his name wasn't even mentioned in the post either but yet again he assumes everything is about him when it's not. I don't watch his streams, I don't look at his Twitter account at all except for today obviously when people make me aware of a post made about me and again pretty much this entire week so far I've been helping work on my house. The post that I made about the Sprite issues too was also based off of stuff I've seen throughout last week and this week including where people are selling Sprites on Ebay and there have been people on YouTube streams begging people for SUBS or Money in exchange to them getting Sprites in return.

Why Contain It (@NSF_casualty) reported@coltonblack I've never bought stuff like that for work off amazon, but I've bought plenty of **** on ebay and I've never had a problem with it. Did you check radwell? Curious to see what they're charging.

Matthew Coppola (@matthewcoppola) reported@BackJogle @Baron_Revilgaz 1) The dilution doesn’t matter to me. Sure, my shares are worth less in the short-term, but I immediately have ownership of more earnings per share because the Ebay deal is earnings accretive. Additionally, I’m not worried about Cohen’s ability to return shareholder capital because I saw him do it with Chewy. 2) The stagnation is transient. The entire gaming industry has been stagnating compared to the rapid growth of the 2010s. This is not an indicator of the long term economic potential, in my view. I play video games and have been studying the market for a long time. I am bullish on video games and the products that derive from them. 3) There are no governance issues that concern me. Cohen has been doing exactly what he said he was going to do and the investment thesis has not changed much since 2020. The only thing different is we have more evidence to say that he can further achieve his goals. The pay package is essentially a performance based stock option. It’s modeled after the way Elon is compensated. I am for this and would run my own company this way. This type of structure incentivizes good, accountable stewardship.

Raineꪆ𓏲🍎Mark Grayson’s lawyer (@duckseeksducks) reported@mutatedword I think i figured out with issue it was and I found some people listing it on eBay so I messaged them lets see if they respond..

UrbanCowboy (@UrbanCowboyII) reported@TurbosLady9493 Lisa I love you so I want to take the time to follow up here. I think what concerns me is players have used scrips in gear, and in hats before this, a player has used it for a passed wash friend. The rules didn’t apply there. Now this is an issue, that’s what my point is. Is it really optional? I don’t see it when social pressure is pushed so hard to get these guys to conform. See giants pitcher who chose not to wear it on eBay he says. Headlines were made of rays players, dodgers, giants etc on not wearing. I’m not asking anyone to change their views, I think I’m just asking for mutual respect. Players shouldn’t feel socially obligated to deny the lord for anyone or anything, and title VII tells us that shouldn’t be a thing.

masYNYa (@KijAkubovs86334) reported🚨 4 OLD GTX 1080s FROM A DEAD MINING RIG NOW RUN LOCAL AI AND BEAT $400/MO IN SUBSCRIPTIONS 💀 Same cards. Same VRAM. New job. Pause at 0:10. Look at the terminal. "GPU #0: EVGA GTX 1080, 53.54 MH/s." "accepted: 902/937." "Stratum difficulty set to 44.1414." Bottom right corner: "11/23/2017." That is not an AI log. That is an Ethereum mining log from November 2017. Each one of those cards was a printer for ETH. Then Ethereum killed proof-of-work in 2022 and 50 million GPUs went into a closet. The same hardware now runs the second wave: → 4 used GTX 1080s off eBay, ~$100 each → Total stack: ~$400 → 8 GB of VRAM per card → Spread a model across them: 32 GB of usable memory → One desktop tower, one PSU, one shell command The install: → ollama install — one line → ollama pull qwen2.5 / mistral 7b / llama 3.2 / phi 3 — one line each → One environment variable to point Claude Code at localhost → Same CLI. Nothing flies to Anthropic. The performance on a 4 × 1080 stack: → 7B models: 80–120 tok/s, comfortable for chat and agents → 13B–30B with layer splitting: 40–60 tok/s, fine for real conversations → Token logs sit on the same SSD as the model → Zero cloud calls. Zero per-token bills. The math he just deleted: → ChatGPT Pro: $200/month → Claude Code Max: $200/month → Cursor: $20/month → Annual: $5,040 → The rig: $400 once → Payback: under two months → Year-two delta: thousands. Electricity only after that. The old loop is dead. Sign up. Pay $5K a year. Watch every prompt ship to someone else's server. Hit rate limits on the worst possible afternoon. Now the rig is a closet appliance that used to mine ETH and now writes code. Here's what nobody in the AI subscription space is saying out loud: The mining boom subsidized a decade of cheap consumer VRAM. Miners paid full retail. They burned a billion in electricity. They dumped the cards on eBay at one-fifth of new-price the moment proof-of-work died. You are now buying that hardware at the loss the miners ate — to run the workload the cloud is renting back to you for $5,000 a year. Most people are still arguing whether local AI is "ready." Meanwhile, the same cards that mined ETH at 5am in 2017 are writing their owner's code at 5am in 2026. Bookmark this. The race for cheap AI just left the new-product shelf. Literally.

Mr.boombastic (@slaminslamon) reported@Zer0reflect @batmanisbett3r You know ebay has an insane bootleg problem right?

Christopher (@Christo82965940) reportedHi @AskeBay — I need urgent escalation on Case 5374687210. eBay ruled against me stating I "didn't provide tracking in time" — but my eBay message records show I provided signed delivery confirmation 19 days before the buyer even opened the case. I have official Chunghwa Post CN08 documentation and a Poste Italiane signed receipt. This is a factual error in the ruling, not a policy disagreement. Frontline CS and the disputes team have both refused to engage. I need this reviewed by someone with actual authority. Seller ID: Rolf_Racing_Ver.2. How do I get this escalated properly?

Nate (@Natan_benish) reportedprediction: onchain platforms can and will become the main pricing venue for at least some major card categories (instead of eBay/alt/fanfics sales) just to point out some structural issues with offchain venues: - there are multiple different fee structures (PSA charges 7.5-13% based on sale value, eBay 13-15%, Alt 4-14%) - sale taxes are not accounted explicitly, you buy from a PSA vault and keeping it there? 0% DE state tax, you ship it home pay 5-12% in state taxes, you ship oversees even more complicated. same goes with shipping cost which again takes place on check out. this is before I go into credit card + fx fees with onchain platforms it's simple. vaulted by default, settled mostly with USDC, shipping comes after, and platform fees are low and fixed. you can't possibly make the case against onchain taking over.
-
dutch (@dutchdecrypto) reported@poke_maam i'm with you in the current. right now if you sell ebay auction/consigning or as a vendor you get to sell at a premium but someone is taking a cut I think over time that cut being taken trends down as long as onchain marketplaces keep getting more desirable inventory and more liquidity this is not a quick thing but a long term trend
-
…. (@allthingsnone) reported@burntpnutclips @TCGPokePlug @eBay Yeah I sell a lot on eBay it’s not terrible … more hate towards the vendors who wanna give 80 the turn around and sell for 100% to the next guy. Depends on the card obviously
-
CD² (@Cryptic_Dollar) reported@TCGPokePlug @eBay That’s your problem you not using it enough to get the discounted fees and shipping

Eric Ash (@Ash1138) reported@MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski Communists want to tear down society. Under communism, Tesla would be destroyed. No more Amazon, Google, Apple, Intel, Nvidia, Disney, Netflix, Ebay, no more airlines, no trains, no defense companies. No getting astronauts to the ISS as only Space X can do. Communists are evil.

Warrior Aspie (@warrioraspie) reportedGM y'all! Here's the new project. I work on an SAR team and I have ATAK integrated with mesh on my phone but it's a pain to have to pull it out and look at it all the time while I'm working. So, new plan: Im going to find a cheap old GPS only Samsung Galaxy watch4 on eBay and use it to mirror my phones offline Google maps. I picked that watch because I need a smart watch that uses Wear OS because that will allow me to access and run actual Google maps natively within an app already designed to use them. Once I'm done I'll be able to have my watch running my location on gps and I just have to glance at my wrist. A lot less annoying than having to pull my phone out of a pouch or drop it down to look at it. Not a major problem by any means but fixing a small annoyance is still worth it.

SgtSlaughter97 - Follow on Kick (@slither198) reported@_runescimitar Happens when you move the camera too fast, I had to fix that at points on ebay.

🎒 پیمان رزاقی (@peymanr_farsi) reportedNo idiot this has no ramifications back home It just shows deep down the monarchist animals are hypocrites that would take the Jersey and probably will attempt to sell it on ebay
-
Peewee (@peewee_216) reported@ebay - you need to fix this and keep the authentication team accountable for the lack of attention and care put into proccessing authentications and sending them to customers. This is incredibly disappointing and I will escalate this to whoever is running this division of Ebay
-
Big Guy (@MrBryanChardum) reported@CTechworkers I’ve been selling on eBay for 20 years. eBay processes and app gets clunkier and clunkier. You can be in the app click something and it launches a web browser for you to login in. The experience once logged in is normally a doom loop
-
Skunk City Genetics (@skunkcityseeds) reported@CodyAllenD87 That’s going to be the cure for sure a bigger filter kit for the 3x3, I run black orchid which I don’t think you can get in the US but if you look for something like this it will be the fix you need 💯 guaranteed! Amazon or eBay, do some price comparing an get a low priced one that looks like the one below and it’ll sort out the situation

Kiloton Winier (@binhacked1) reported@petriethedog I had hundreds. Over the years it got whittled down to 4 footlockers. Lost that about 15 years ago. Was sad but also liberating. I had been reading and collecting books since I was a boy. I got screwed selling a lot of it on ebay before an amtrack move from Boston to Orange County California in 2013.
-
The Never To Be Humble Art Guy (@glgale) reported@AutonomyJenny Your fear is unhinged and linked to your personal persecution problem, same as the rest of the 18% fringe. Your neighbors aren’t going to burn down your property or sell your children on eBay. Stop being such a snowflake.
-
nugz (@nugz_____) reported@davidonchainx For sure But why not buy CARDS Gacha is the big thing now, but the small piece of the pie in the future imo The marketplace has a chance to take meaningful share from eBay and other sites that charge ~15%, have shipping issues, fraud issues, etc Marketplace is how this goes to billions

H̵e̵a̸d̷C̶a̸n̴n̴o̵n̷1̵7̵7̶6̵ (@HeadCannon1776) reported@EdwardCollects the problem is the TGCplayer and eBay markets, you end us with sellers who do no research on what they have and over price things signaling others to do so as well. no piece of cardboard that took $1.25 to print should ever cost more than $20 on the secondary market.
