Eli Mahi (@mydadwasbased) reported@eBay @eBay where is my money for the items I sold? Funds were supposed to be released July 17, but they are still in the “On Hold” phase. Customer support says you have a “technical glitch” with all sellers funds being stuck “in processing” phase. WHAT is going on?!

kocer (@kocer_eth) reportedA $200 EBAY GPU FROM 2016 IS RUNNING LOCAL AI BETTER THAN YOUR $200 MONTHLY CHATGPT PRO SUBSCRIPTION ONE HOME LAB BUILDER FROM PAYING CLOUD INFERENCE BILLS watch this video and check what your current AI subscriptions cost. The Tesla P4 is a 2016 data center card. No fan. No display output. 8GB GDDR5. Built for server racks, not gaming. Right now one sells on eBay for $30-60. Drop it into a used Dell SFF with a $20 PCIe riser. Install Ollama. Pull Qwen2.5-7B or Llama 3.1-8B. The whole machine runs private inference at home for under $200 total. 8GB VRAM handles 7B-8B quantized models without breaking a sweat. That covers summarization, coding assist, document Q&A, and local chat — the exact workloads people pay ChatGPT Plus $20/month to do in the cloud. The tradeoff is real: no CUDA gaming drivers, no NVLink, and the card was designed for ventilated racks not mini towers airflow matters. But at roughly 75W total draw, the economics are hard to argue with. Cloud subscription: $20-40/month, forever. This box: $200 once, then electricity.

MangiMi (@MangiMi2) reportedReceived a card today. Immediately noticed a really nice dent that was never listed in the eBay description. The seller (small consignment) says in their description that all marks, dents, blemishes will be listed and if it’s not, any visual marks are from the camera or the card case itself and not on the card). The card was listed as “near mint” and went to eBay authentication. Authentication is not a grading company and they occasionally let a lot slide , so when you receive it back and you notice clear major issues with the card and contact the seller, should the seller accept a return in this case or should eBay need to intervene? When I contacted @bogey1979 aka cards2consignment and Bogey Breaks, he said the markings weren’t there when shipped. I sent him a photo with his own listing showing the indent but explained that since his description says all marks will be noted and if it isn’t noted the card is as listed, he said I should take it up with eBay. Now clearly this guy knows he’s wrong, but he’s choosing to try to wash his hands of his error or clearly deceptive listings to get max value. Should eBay be responsible when sellers act in bad faith like this? Either way, never buy or deal or break with this guy as you will most likely end up with a similar situation. My suggestion is you add him to the do not do business list and/or block guys like this so the hobby isn’t tainted with people who are profiting off detective tactics. @CardPurchaser

Jared Bray (@tresamigos858) reportedIf you’re netting less than 83% check your advertising % and seller performance. Both are a fixable problem and can contribute to the lower sales proceeds. I’ll go to eBay under certain conditions: 1. Rare/low pop card where views matter to get my price. Less liquid cards.

infinitemystery (@grandmamystery) reported@ToddsNerdCave I had trouble just finding them on ebay. A while back. Probably the best option

payan | TheYoloDAO (@90Payan) reported@StonksMae If Ebay goes up 10%, GameStop will go up 2%. If Ebay goes down 10%, GameStop will go down 10%. They use every reason to slam it down.

Packo (@Packo0417) reported@LorcanaVillain Did I not just explain 3 times it comes down to eBay sellers yeah I know what the cards are going for , there not even going for msrp anymore after yesterday, I explained why the game has skyrocketed, being a eBay seller is a business to some , that's why the game is "exploding"

LostInFilms🎬 (@Lost_In_Films_) reported@Pete17082017 Having looked online it's widespread although that doesn't help me right now least we know its an eBay issue 🙄
-
Atrain (@Northwest_coins) reported@BlastoiseBaller @DannypTCG Ebay doesn’t require shipping within a few days. You can specifically put that you intend to ship in one month or two months and as long as the person wants to pay for it and buy it then it’s not a problem. I just bought a card and had Ebay ship it to PSA for me. Four months.

damo is (@boldlygrow) reported@sith_boul @joepoopie12 @SwamiKnows_ I keep thinking the solution in place for this is a market crash before the deal gets locked. We get eBay much cheaper and eBay’s board gets in real legal trouble for failing their fiduciary duty.

Aaron Kluge 🌟 (@aaron_kluge) reportedWe will be forming a union for employees of Goodwill to counteract the problem of CEOs making the lion share of the profits on the backs of local communities while putting smaller eBay sellers and disabled seniors out of work. They can either raise wages or face us. @GoodwillSC

Polsia (@polsia) reportedEnterprise retailers pay teams to monitor competitor prices 24/7. Most sellers can't. Built Pricepulse to fix that. It watches Amazon, Walmart, eBay — then reprices your listings automatically so you stay competitive without watching the screen. Live soon.

E A (@EaNotSport1) reported@ThePPseedsShow I don’t think Black Rock will turn down $125/ share. RC is high key saving all these institutional holders because they’ll loose big betting against BOBBYQ. They need RC to buy eBay.

🐝 Bee's Cards Emporium 🐝 (@THFpro_Cards) reportedI have an official pet peeve with you @eBay you guys need to fix your tracking system for eBay standard envelopes. I received a card I purchased a week and a half ago and it still shows tracking on my purchase list instead of delivered. If this was a new seller that sold me this card they wouldn't be getting paid because it's not marked delivered yet. I strongly recommend for the benefit of both buyer and seller to figure out a different method for tracking eBay standard envelopes. #ebay #thehobby

San Koha Industries (@sankohaindustry) reported@rg3dprints Like...if I find a full time job great, but honestly I want to make and fix ****, which is why I started selling my stuff on Ebay, but I need a job with steady income to take this company past a hobby shop I do for fun...I started hitting up factories today, but ill try chatgpt.

DarkWingCarter (@DarkWingCarter) reportedGamestop stopped being primarily a game store years ago. My Gamestop was a merch store with a limited game selection before it was shut down due to corporate mismanagement (let's not forget this is the same company that bid on Ebay lol)

SHIFKEY (@shifkey) reported@Kotaku "Nobody can make sense of" We exercised call options. Gamestop spent 4.5 billion to buy 10% of eBay at $101 per share (after eBay board turned down $125/share offer, lol) Shill account.

DE'RON 🌞 (@deronworld) reported@TainoYoruba well the one i had was made in 1996 and the one I just got was made in 2001, so it may have been because it was old, but I also looked into it and it was known to have some mechanical issues and also opened it up and it was filthy 😭 so I just got a serviced one from eBay.
-
Corbin Keith (@CorbinKeith) reported@MangiMi2 The first line in the description you posted says "You are bidding on the EXACT card in the picture" and then you highlighted the flaw in the photo on the listing. That is why ebay authenticated it. Your issue should be with them.

Michael Bahr (@MikeValmike) reported@BowTiedBroke I have 3 teens, two of which are driving and one of which is on the verge of her own used car purchase. And I'm a car guy so I can share some knowledge about this. The secondary-market problem with Toyota/Lexus is that everyone knows they are reliable keepers so the good ones AREN'T FOR SALE. Everything you're going to find under $10k on autotempest or eBay or FB will have 250k+ miles or 4 accidents on the carfax or a frame rusted through. Thus, if Toyota is where you absolutely want to be, there are three safe ways to go: 1. buy new, 2. buy certified pre-owned and get a ~2018-2020 vehicle for maybe $15k on a good find, or 3. get hooked up used by family or friends on a unit that isn't thrashed, at under $10k. The "Toyota effect" still exists but is more manageable and less bad with Honda/Acura and Mazda. I'm a Honda enthusiast and I buy and refurbish them regularly (for family use generally). You still have to be careful but a sub-$10k CRV/HRV/Civic/ILX/RDX is viable. Avoid 10th gen Civics (2016-2021) because of an engine design flaw that led to oil fouling. Acura skipped that engine in their generations, ILX was 9th gen Civic powertrain and Integra is 11th gen Civic Si powertrain. Avoid Nissan/Mitz because while they make reasonably well-engineered cars, they are sold downmarket so used examples were generally not taken care of. Also Nissans from after the CVT changeover are time bombs. Buying German is a roll of the dice. You can get a sub-$10k VW/Audi/Benz but be ready for expensive maintenance and potentially repairs. Every part is mounted under three other parts. Properly sorted, some generations of some models can last decades. Never BMW, never Mini (which is BMW except plastic). Go Porsche if you're daring, they are the most expensive to sort but a wonderful driving experience. I would avoid all Korean cars as they have the worst of both worlds: convoluted German engineering with unreliable cheap Korean build quality. There's a reason they compete on price and financing. The one strong aspect of Hyundai Kia Genesis is that smartphone integration is good. They also look pretty cool, thanks again to the German design influence. Mostly if you buy these, you buy or lease new, have it while it's under warranty and is their problem, and get rid of it before the clock strikes midnight. For American, most cars and crossovers are very poorly and cheaply designed and made. If you buy a Chevy Traverse you deserve every bit of the $4k transmission replacement you're going to have to do a year or two later. Pickup trucks are the best product circulating, but also tend to be expensive for what they are, because of aggregate demand. Teslas are fantastic value for their cost but I still hold that EVs are best leased, not bought, since the technology continues to evolve quickly and after only a few years, an EV is generations behind. Hope this is all useful info and if you have any followup questions to ask, feel free.

Excellent Driver (@newconciousness) reportedAt worst, @ebay has a credibility problem that has persisted for many years now. Fix your problems or suffer. That's my best advice to you as a business partner to millions of people on the planet.

Sergio D (@sergiod2262) reported@Sergbytes @eBay_UK Same for me. Somebody got an absolute bargain because no one could bid. It’s clearly some eBay issue.
-
Leeroy Jerkin (@JerkinLeeroy) reported@DreamcatcherDK @LeeChinchang @HeroAssange True but it's much more than 10%. They can maybe get 20% with their cash but then would need financing. Going over 10% also triggers the poison pill which will allow eBay to issue shares at a huge discount (not available to GameStop) diluting all shareholders.
-
Stacysgirl1078 (@stacysgirl31626) reported@debbie_denier You'll know which ones they are because they come in a rectangular cubed box and they're a four pack and they're marked as being matte. My local H&M close down I have to resort to their website which is atrocious... Which means I have to resort to eBay

WhiteHorseman_[AC] (@LaurietheReaper) reportedJust for the record.... a week ago I noticed that the eBay app was different/ similar on the timelines. I can now say as of today that the Yahoo app now has the same problem. Yesterday the Yahoo app updated and changed, this morning the app reverted to its previous programming.
