  When Pierre Omidyar launched eBay in September 1995, he faced what economists call the fundamental problem of exchange: how do strangers trust each other enough to trade? The government's answer had always been more regulations, more enforcement agencies, more bureaucrats with badges. Omidyar tried something radical instead. He built a simple feedback system where buyers and sellers rated each other after every transaction. By 1997, eBay was processing over 800,000 auctions quarterly with a fraud rate below 0.01% (while traditional mail-order fraud ran closer to 2-3%). No government oversight. No regulatory compliance officers. Just buyers and sellers policing themselves through voluntary reputation scores that actually meant something to their future business. The system evolved organically as users found creative ways to signal trustworthiness and spot bad actors. Power sellers emerged with 99.8% positive feedback ratings that took years to build but could vanish overnight with shoddy service. Compare that to your average DMV employee, who can treat you like garbage for decades with zero career consequences because civil service protections make them basically unfireable. Today's gig economy runs on the same principle eBay proved in the '90s. Uber drivers maintain 4.7-star averages not because transportation regulators threaten them, but because their next ride depends on it. Amazon sellers obsess over customer reviews while government postal services lose your packages and shrug. When your reputation follows you everywhere and customers can instantly switch to competitors, you don't need bureaucrats breathing down your neck to deliver quality service.

  @DeItaone what a misleading headline lol. Old news and they are asking to have authorization to issues more shares if needed (half cash, half STOCK means giving $ and issuing new GME shares for eBay shareholders in the merged entity).

  @BosCardHunter The program is not stupid whatsoever. In fact, every sports card transaction should go through them. Would eliminate a lot of issues. What’s stupid is eBay not safely securing the card.

  Day 106 Total sales: $542.97
Buy cost (COG): $61.63
eBay earnings: $233.60
Refunds: $184.99
Net profit: $171.97
ROI: 279% 5 item day. Had one refunded item that was lost and another canceled before shipping where the inventory was retained. That’s the reality of buying returns/open box inventory sometimes. Items will occasionally be broken.
Missing pieces.
Mislabeled. Early on those situations bothered me a lot more. Now I look at it differently, it’s simply part of the operating costs of this business model. The key is keeping buy costs low enough that issues like this are absorbable over the long run. One bad item can’t sink the operation if the process is solid overall. Still building.

  @wrestle_real @Topps One of those is pretty easy to fix. You can get a certified Monte Irvin auto for about $20 right now on ebay. Satchel Paige would be on my list though.

  It was very fun going to that auction. Proxibid doesn't take in bids properly yet. The fast clicking of eBay is necessary. Im not sure what they do but copilots can figure it out. The security issue you still meed someone who really knows what's going on for and proxibid

  @RichardC74991 @CARL0STHEGAMER @LewisJFC If you're patient you can get some good deals, especially if you buy bundles. Usual eBay average range from £10-20 though with some of the earlier issues being more expensive.

  @foxenflask @m74ft1 I do think they will buy eBay, but it will be after another event. Come with me down a holding company thought experiment. Step 1: gme own a chunk of IEP (just under 5%) Step 2: @_CO_RY_ own a chunk of IEP (just under 5%) Step 3: buy cash settled swaps for >3% (aka, all the rest of the shares as Carl owns 87%) Swaps deliverable in next month or two after compensation award vote. Step 4: accept delivery and file form 4 showing that over 100% of shares are owned. Step 5: watch as IEP share price squeezes. (Let's say $1m per share) gme ownership will make gme price squeeze in tandem to hundreds or thousands per share. Steps 6-9: leverage shares worth trillions for loans to buy eBay. Is this what RK saw *******?

  @coltoirv @GenericPlebeian @TugGGSN I have worked for both the private and public sector. It's literally true. In the private sector when we cycled out hardware we could just put it up on Ebay or they'd even give employees dibs. I work for the state now, and it's literally a months long process to get rid of anything, and no we can't just give it away (even to employees), no we can't just donate it, we have to do a mountain of paperwork to send it off to a recycler or Govdeals. I literally have a ******* Sun rack that has been sitting in my server room for years because the process to get rid of it in the public sector is just that *** backwards.

  @TW0HEADEDBEAST You're incorrect. I can still get every part i need on a near 30nyear old subaru. Admittedly sometimes I have to resort to a salvage yard or ebay but its still doable. Don't buy the one with an obvious gonna **** out issue unless youre prepared to fix it immediately.

  @marybowdenMD: Amazon issues an ISBN number for every book it sells, incl this plagiarized knock-off. So go to Sellers Central. Demand they revoke the plagiarized book's ISBN number. If they refuse, sue for ignoring copyright. BTW, Amazon shows my book, LEE HARVEY OSWALD AND ME, but won't let anybody buy it! (please get it on eBay!).

  Ross Johnson: "I found this great 5Core 48” DJ speaker stand tripod on ebay to use with my JPC-12 antenna. For $21 including shipping and tax, the light gauge steel tubing (about 5lbs total) is quite stable and durable. Yes, some of the parts are plastic and probably would not stand up to a 50mph dive off the back of a pickup, but it seems pretty capable of delivering good service as an affordable field stand… folds down to about 28”, extends to 54”. I had to drill a hole in the provided top plate to run a 10mm bolt up through my counterpoise disk and into the antenna base, but that was the extent of the mod’s. I set it up with my G90 in the backyard and added 4 counterpoise wires out to tent stakes. It was a quick stable setup and the 10-15mph wind had no effect at all. The best QSO of the day with stand fulling extended was well over 1300mi… Connecticut to Kansas, 5-9 on 20 watts. It will definitely have a home in the POTA activation kit stored in my pickup."

  @foxenflask One play I’ve thought about is they issue massive convertible debt above tbink 20-30b and after that’s priced gme runs way past it so debt holders profit and memes are allowed to fly and gme gets eBay for the low with a tender offer

  Card (@Cardhedge) reported 57 minutes ago

  @ryancohen ebay has become pay-to-play. every listing effectively requires a promoted listings boost just to get visibility, yet there's no transparency proving that ad spend actually drives incremental traffic. on top of industry-high final value fees, smaller sellers without store subscriptions pay even more in insertion and per-transaction costs. consignment houses give you visibility, but most lock you into auction format with no buy it now option. the marketplace is broken by its creators' greed: fees are so high that your spread has to be enormous to clear a profit. you can't buy and sell the same item at the same price without losing a meaningful chunk to fees, shipping, and promo spend. if ebay lowered their fees and increased transparency, it would send the resale economy into a renaissance. categories like sports cards would become dramatically more liquid overnight, it's already an emerging market with a massive following, there's no reason anything needs 13% commission plus extra ad spend on top.

  @HackForumsNet @Mericamemed Nah. You can get a lot of great workstation and server stuff off ebay for decent prices. Let's say I hypothetically have 8 sticks of 32G RDIMM sitting around. There's well priced HP and Lenovo workstations with 8x slots on ebay for days.

  @Japhero_ 80% is honestly great. If they sell on ebay, they are spending on ebay cut, shipping, and the off chance there's an issue with the transaction
