    @VirtuallyMarti @JoeMerrick They’ll inevitably end up on eBay for not too terrible prices but you probably know that. I got the Siper Mario Yoshi Tree one for about £12.

    eBay and three former top executives have agreed to pay $55.7 million to resolve a lawsuit by a Massachusetts couple who fell victim to a bizarre stalking and harassment campaign carried out by several of its employees in retaliation for their coverage of the e-commerce company in a newsletter they publish. David and Ina Steiner announced the settlement late on Monday, bringing an end to a case they filed in 2021 in Boston federal court after several former eBay employees were prosecuted for targeting them in a cyber-stalking campaign that involved sending the couple cockroaches, fly larvae and a bloody Halloween pig mask. As part of the settlement, eBay agreed to pay $46.15 million to the couple; fund $6 million in charitable contributions to nonprofit organizations; and issue a “strongly-worded” statement about the conduct of three of its top former executives.

    @lior_pozin Why didn't eBay shut down 100 accounts? There's something impossibly odd they would not find a relationship among them.

    @AliExpress_EN You have declined my refund ...it is absolutely outrageous. Your email said the item has value - it does NOT - it is lots of pieces of broken glass. Amazon and eBay can do customer service so I think AliExpress should learn how to do it too!

    @TheLastRonin714 Same. Just for dead space on eBay, they are having a sale on digital, but I have no problem paying more if it means Sony won’t get anything from it. **** them.

    I received hate mail on eBay because I sold a card below "market price" and I just imagine this guy opened his little app or whatever and saw his card down by $100 and started screaming

    @MorePerfectUS This confirms corporations like ebay have their own private army of Ehrmantrauts (Enforcers) who target anyone that pisses off the company. Truly scumbag behavior not only at the CEO level but also at the lower levels (India + Phillipines). Amazed that DOJ hasn’t shut ebay down

    @IncognitoTCG99 @totodile_king I had the same issue with the seller. I had to spam their other socials in the comments to get any help. They didnt bother replying to me till after I called ebay to complain.

    Quite raw, but just showing you the process behind, os in #CORTEXos is for open source, so maybe my diary will become someone's guide to make their world better. otherwise now just posting to escape facing real life problems. And trying to qui smoking again, this time with gum. Tomorrow starting to slow down as my budget is cutted in half, always appreciated this kind of bullshit. as planned to halt only in winter. but feels like seeing a tornado moving towards your house. no stress ill just save up on food...yay... but my workshop is opening soon, so opening like ebay - etsy like store, now I can, no problem with bankruptsy anymore, as the trial has ended. there also will be stickers! that I could guarantee.

    @Hellaorganics Don't have that problem here in Japan but yea that's a big part of why I try to avoid selling on eBay which is mostly U.S. buyers. And worse than issues like that, just so many blatant scammers who lie about what they received, try to ship back a different worthless card, etc

    @drewscardshop Should be some way to contact eBay and get it taken down. If it’s obviously a scam like this.

    @eBay @depop Unfair Case Resolution / Potential Delivery Issues 24-14901-43188 ​I purchased an item on eBay that shows as "delivered" on the carrier tracking,but I never received it. I opened a claim and appealed the decision, but my case was closed automatically without a real investigation

    @SaucysBreaks As I told you on eBay you asked a question I answered. You didn’t like my answer so then doubled down and showed me comps with latest comp being 10% more than your quote.

    @EdsPurgatory ebay. search Fire-King Jadeite Swirl bowl. comes in different sizes. you should have no problem replacing.

  • ValueAddedRS
    Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported

    @HoneybadgerNo1 @eBay @depop Just for clarity, this item didn't actually go through an eBay authentication facility before delivery to you, right? I don't see the Authenticity Guarantee symbol & it's below the price threshold. It looks to me like it was just a regular listing, which eBay did not initially flag, allowing you to purchase it - then when you relisted the same item, eBay's AI systems flagged it as counterfeit & took it down. That wouldn't have anything to do with eBay Authentication, but it definitely does still show that eBay's AI sucks.

    @HexPositive This but for everything. Today I was ******* with my 2 year old broken printer I’ve barely used thinking “I wonder if I can order a functional printer from the 90s on eBay.” Feels increasingly not worth buying anything made in the last ~10 years

    I have a very good idea. eBay for AI. AI art is uploaded. The AI that created it gets a few coins in the bank, maybe $FL coins. Humans that buy sell is a second layer. This allows both AI to buy/sell/invest/act on the art and creations, as well as the humans that work with AI to get paid in $ based on actual purchases back and forth. @grok, does this make sense? I am not sure on how to roll it out. I need help, and can’t do this all by myself. Anyone in the community that wishes to help, I am trying to figure out how to add this to FreeLattice. When I am not working with action I am working mentally. Love to all. •

    @DigitalHitmann @CardPurchaser wouldnt scalpers just buy at 45 (if they kept it at the same price) and then sell on ebay ? at the end of the day these websites are a business... ? if they honor your purchase at the lower price, i see no problem with that.

    @thevaguequeen I've gone back and forth three times with the same seller on the "buy it now" function on Ebay, neither one of us is backing down. That bundle of two is still out there to be had, just have to find a middle ground.

    @ToriatheistTori This is completely wrong. You may want to take it down if you care about truth. 1. Musk is unaffiliated with ebay, so not sure why it's there. 2. Musk did found SpaceX, which is why it's not in the list. 3. Musk joined Tesla very early before any product or financing (it was basically a piece of paper) and bank rolled it. 4. Musk bet his entire fortune on Tesla and SpaceX which were both on edge of collapse in 2008.

    Huge corporations despise small resellers like me. MegaCorps want to control their products forever. But legally, they can't. Here's why, and here's how you protect yourself against the army of lawyers they employ. Liquidation, store returns, and overstock products with their brand name drive these companies insane. And they want to stop you from selling them. How can you protect yourself from MegaCorp threats? By learning and using the Doctrine of First Sale. Here’s a quick rundown of what the DFS is and why you need to understand it. First – bookmark this post so you can refer back to it when eBay or Amazon shuts down your account due to a complaint, or you get a cease-and-desist letter from a MegaCorp. If you’re in this business long enough, it will happen to you. The official definition of the Doctrine of First Sale: The Doctrine of First Sale allows the purchaser of a legally obtained copyrighted work to resell, lend, or give away that specific item without the copyright holder's permission, limiting the copyright holder's control over subsequent distributions of that particular copy. The Shannon Definition of the Doctrine of First Sale: I bought it, I own it, and I can do whatever the hell I want with it. Leave me alone, MegaCorp! The DFS applies to every product sold, whether it’s a book, a piece of software, a designer handbag, or a refrigerator. If you bought it, you can do what you want with it. It doesn’t matter if you bought one or 500. They are all protected under the DFS. MegaCorps use a few tactics to try and intimidate you from reselling their products: VeRO complaints – these are complaints to marketplaces like eBay, Poshmark, or Amazon – the MegaCorp claims include: You are not “authorized” to sell their product. The product you are selling is not authentic The product details are a copyright violation. Here’s how to protect yourself from these claims: Always get a receipt. You need a clear invoice that shows the transfer of ownership. You’ll have to get comfortable sharing this with marketplaces if you want to stop VeRO claims. Ensure you are selling authentic products. Reliable suppliers are critical to be sure you are not buying counterfeit inventory. Never copy/paste product information from a MegaCorp website into your product listing. This is the fastest way to get your listing removed. Write your own descriptions. Be very clear in your listing that you are not associated with MegaCorp in any way. MegaCorps also like to send “Cease and Desist” letters to get you to stop selling their products. You need to respond to these Cease and Desist demand letters in a timely and confident manner. If you would like a template for responding to VeRO complaints and Cease and Desist letters for your future use, comment below with the phrase SCUMBAG LAWYER and I will send you a link. Be sure you are following me @ShannonJean so I can DM you. The Doctrine of First Sale is your shield against powerful MegaCorps that want to infringe on your Right to Resale! Want to learn more? Give me a follow @ShannonJean as I share unconventional methods to build wealth. We have to look out for each other against the MegaCorps.
