  @MLSophist @TheAhmadOsman That's a ****** looking GPU rack. I guess these people don't know you can find racks and server cases for a few bucks on ebay.

  @nickhtang No doubt, but technically a package from LA-AZ should be cheaper than LA-FL. I checked the pricing on Stamps, PirateShip & eBay. Problem is, ideally, a seller needs to know the shipping cost prior to posting an item for sale.

  My eBay sales have been slow lately…but it’s my fault. That might sound strange to say, but when you take full responsibility, you also give yourself the opportunity to improve. Instead of blaming the algorithm or saying people just aren’t buying, I looked in the mirror. I listed more items, went back and improved some old listings, adjusted prices on a few things, and simply got back in the game. Funny how that works. I don’t care what you sell or where you sell it. If you consistently take more action, you’ll create more opportunities to make sales. Too many people spend their time waiting for buyers instead of giving buyers more chances to find them. The lesson? When sales slow down, don’t look for excuses. Look for work. More listings, Better listings, Better pricing, More consistency. That’s usually where the answer is

  @CardsEnzo @PSAcard Being they have kept up their eBay at 49.99 rate, I think they will at least go to that range to open up another level once their backlog is down enough.

  1/ Earlier in his OpenSpec series, Austin Xu (Senior Engineering Manager at eBay) flagged a problem: agents ship changes in seconds, CI feedback shows up 20 minutes later, and by then the agent has moved on to the next task. He named @signadot as a possible fix. Then he actually tested it. His new post covers the full setup: live integration checks running inside the agent's loop, validated against real services, with the full eval log published. Really appreciate him putting in the work to do such a thorough evaluation. Link in the comments 🧵

  @PaxCybertron I wasn't too happy, either. After putting this up, I asked ChatGPT what the DHL charge usually is for a voyager and deluxe combined, and it said anywhere from $25 - $40. So, not terrible on the low end, and considerably less than what we'd pay on eBay on the high end

  I’ve had a terrible time trying to return + get a refund from @eBay on an item that I provided proof on as being: 1. Not as described 2. Not delivered Seller was protected in both the INAD & not delivered ticket Ridiculous for an automated closeout on 2 tickets I provide proof + response from seller admitting to scam Has done the same to other buyers too Been trying to handle for a month but automated response + seller have allowed issue to be evaded This is why I am diversifying platforms I buy on

  Reselling discontinued products has been my bread and butter for years. Here's how it works: When a product gets discontinued, you become one of the last places someone can get it. Maybe it's not sold near them anymore. Maybe they don't have time to look for it. They'd rather click a few buttons and have it show up at their door That's where you come in. Finding these products is easier than you'd think. Head to your local pharmacy, grocery, or hardware store and look for: - discontinued price tags - clearance sections - dust on the products Stores with slow inventory turnover will have stuff sitting for months, sometimes years. If you don't have those kinds of stores near you, check discount stores, closeout chains, and bargain outlets. These buy closeout inventory in bulk so when a brand discontinues a product, this is often where it ends up, before most people realize it's gone To build a list of what to hunt for, search "discontinued" plus any category on eBay. For example, "discontinued detergent" pulls up every detergent that's selling. Do this across all categories and you'll never run out of leads. Before you buy a bunch of units, confirm the discontinuation. Go straight to the brand's website, since some list discontinued items or note it right on the product page. Another tip is to read the reviews. When something gets discontinued and hard to find, customers will be complaining about it. One last thing to keep in mind: discontinued doesn't always mean gone forever. Sometimes it's temporary and sometimes demand brings it back Happy hunting!

  @mattvanswol We lost America in 1901 is why. That is when Rothschilds and Rockefellers cooked up the federal reserve. Do yourself a favor and read 'The Creature from Jekyll Island' get it off ebay. Once you figure that out, you start to realize There has been a massive plan to keep you down.

  If you search on ebay right now, a lot of chinese vendors are selling custom V100 SXM2, inside a pcie housing. So when you said that China doesn't have access to Nvidia cards, you're wrong. They are using the old stuff that actually still works. There's nothing stopping china from unsoldering these units, and place them in their NVlink alternative. And power is not an issue in China.

  @svpino The part that doesn't transfer to "just ask AI" is accountability. At eBay scale the model gives me a plausible fix in seconds — the job is knowing which of the three plausible fixes survives ****, and being the one on the hook when it doesn't. Clients pay for the second thing, and they still will.

  @Derceto00 @2_Old_4_Gaming @RetroGamer_Daz Why do y'all say this? Where is it a rental? Please show me where a game has been completely removed after a certain amount of time from someone's library? It's NOT a rental! You are buying a license! That license CAN be revoked but so can your driver's license. Does that mean you're only renting your car if you break the law and they take away your license to drive? No. You are the owner of that license along with the publishers that you acquired it from. That agreement WILL NOT BREAK as long as you don't break any of the TOS. even if they close down forever. You still get to keep your games. I'm sick of reading this rental nonsense because it's simply not true and not how this works. "but what about the 500 movies Sony took!" Movies are not games! Movies you get from a third party EXPLICITLY tells you that YOU DON'T OWN THIS! What you're buying is a license to view it from that third party as long as THEY have their license to carry that movie renewed. There's never a time you can show me in the EULA for games where they can just arbitrarily take games from you and that you're only renting them. It doesn't state that. Movies have licensing agreements in place with platforms like Fandango, Apple Store, Google Play Store, Movies Anywhere, etc, where they can carry those movies on your behalf as you buy the license to watch them on those platforms. The EULA explicitly says this to you. The ONLY way a digital movie is yours forever is if you bought it first hand from the studios that made it. That means when you purchase a movie from their own website, the DVDs and Blu-ray codes that come in the boxes, or they gave you a code to use directly. You still watch them on those platforms but if one of those platforms ever shut down? They are obligated to move your collection over to another "locker", which is what they call it in the EULA, OR give you the ability to download the movies so you keep them forever. They HAVE to do this as it is in their EULA and that's what they agreed on with you as the purchaser. Games? They don't have limited licenses like that, typically. You'll run into a licensed game from Marvel or DC or Star Trek, Nickelodeon, or licensed music, etc, and those games have limited licenses physically and digitally. That's why a lot of those games get delisted or they have to remove the music just like GTA had to do a few years ago. Delisting doesn't mean you can't play what you've bought though. That's what I need people to understand. Delisting is not de-platforming. It's not the same thing. I have purchased delisted games since 2017 and they are still ready for me to play digitally. You keep them. They just aren't available for purchase for anyone else that may want them digitally. Physical games get delisted and moved from store shelves all the time too. Deadpool is a great example of a game no longer in regular circulation and you can only really find it used for high prices on eBay. Effectively that game is out of commission because of that physically. Digitally? You can still play it if you bought it before they delisted it. It's not gone forever. It's there. I hope you really take time out to read all of this and try to understand that You've been misinformed on this stuff and that digital gaming is not what you've been thinking. There's some drawbacks just like there will be with physical games. The true issue needing addressing with all digital platform is the refund, trade, and selling policies that Sony has to change up. They will have to change them to match Steam because that's their direct competition now. I do think they will announce changes to those soon.

  Gary Vee explains why 3 to 4 NFT projects will end up being the Jackson Pollocks of the 2021 era "When internet stocks came out in 2000, everything was worth a trillion dollars even if the company did zero revenue. Then April 2000 hit and all of it went to zero, companies going from $500 a share to three cents. But the handful that were legit, Google, Amazon, Ebay, Paypal, got dragged down to $3 and then went on to become some of the biggest companies in the world." "NFTs are the exact same thing. Everyone got confused and thought all of them were worth a million dollars, when most are worth nothing, just like trading cards. But there will be 3 to 4 to 7 projects from that 2021 era that in 20 years are the Jackson Pollocks and the Andy Warhols. The only question is whether you're good enough to pick the winners."

  @ValueAddedRS @_bismack_ I don't agree people will stop bidding, simply bc the things still slow at auction are still predominantly sold at/on eBay. It'll be a shift, but as a seller (I don't do auctions) there's nothing but upside and for buyers the experience wi be 10x better.

  If you're struggling to afford a good computer or are frustrated with all these Mac minis costing way too much money. My hack of the day is to buy an old M1 laptop on eBay or Facebook Marketplace with a broken screen. I'm picking up really nice MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs between $200 and $300 where the screen is damaged somehow. Go to Goodwill and buy a cheap external monitor, and you have world-class hardware, super cheap. If you're someone that works on a lot of different projects, maybe you're a consultant. I found it very useful to just spin up a new computer per project. Then use screen sharing. If you use screen sharing, you don't even need the cheap monitor from Goodwill. If you want to optimize for performance, I'd look for an old MacBook Pro vs a MacBook Air. The fan can really make a difference if you're doing high CPU tasks.

  @ValueAddedRS @_bismack_ I've been wondering when this would happen...although Liz, I disagree. This is ALWAYS better for the seller and there's no downside. The more the better...and it stops the sniping problem ebay has refused to address for 3 decades now.

  @xrtzbase GME dropping is actually exceptionally rare around the level it was at. The memecoin is essentially backed by a stablecoin until it's not. Now that 1.4B of bonds are being converted it has a few effects: - there won't be quite as much volatility farming, making GME now act less as a stable asset. - the balance sheet of teh company is better with less debt. Even with the slightly extra dilution, most of the move down was temporary shorting by bond holders to get themselves as good a deal as possible, so it'll bounce back. This also may have been something Cohen had to do to ensure a merged company with eBay is actually investment grade and not overburdened by debt. But more importantly, one thing the coin can do that the shares don't necessarily reflect in the lit market is an onchain supply shock. And if that's part of peoples goal (it'd certainly pump the coin - see what happened on launch day), then your dollars go further to accumulating more shares in the pool. That's actually bullish for the coin. And when the bond holders stop shorting after the vwap window, price will largely bounce back bc the stock was already at its stone cold bottom; Especially if there's a catalyst before the vwap, which could actually give bond holders a *worse deal* than they had previously agreed to, and that would force the price somewhat higher still, if not a tiny short squeeze. (Unlikely that there's a catalyst in the vwap though, but there's always tail risk).

  @nykcsports @CardPurchaser @eBay I've recently had similar problems with "regular" USPS as well. USPS GA packaged sent from Boston MA never scanned in at all, just (thankfully) randomly showed up in Oregon 2 weeks later. My guess is these are all symptoms of the overall competency crisis.

  @MarshaCollier USPS rates are very much defined. the problem i would assume is with their shipping software. I'd wager some old flow is not superceding the newest rates and ship method. with eBay's volume I'd wager they are at the best tier for negotiated rates and pocketing some of the difference per order.
