Umar (@umzrs) reportedDon’t know a single guy who “made it” with their first business I sold fake designer belts on eBay - made $2k/month until sales completely dried up Started a social media marketing agency - basically got no clients, terrible results for the ones I got Started a content agency for chiropractors - hit $4k/month then had to shut down because of c*vid All these failures led me to starting an Email Marketing agency which now makes 6 figures a month consistently with a team of 40+ Don’t expect to become a millionaire in the first few months of your first business It will take time, pain and failures to reach your goals - but it’s worth it

PainkillerDE 💚 (@painkillerde) reported@heydomoshi @GaiusMoonnus Part 1's mechanics are real. Parts 2–4 aren't. Core error: shorting XRT means you owe the lender XRT shares — not eBay shares, not GME shares, not a "distribution." You're short the wrapper, not the constituents. When eBay gets acquired, it just drops out of the index.

Col (@Col45398669) reported@diygolf @Fireblade_Jim It can be difficult. I send all my eBay stuff through them and have only had maybe 2 issues in 200+ deliveries.

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reportedOpen your bank statement right now. Count every subscription. Netflix. Spotify. ChatGPT Plus. Claude. Adobe. Apple One. Disney+. iCloud. YouTube Premium. Audible. NYT. Dropbox. Notion. Gym. Dating app. A 2026 study found the average American spends $219 a month on subscriptions. That is $2,628 a year. But they estimate they spend $86 a month. 74% of people admit they have forgotten about a recurring charge. 42% are currently paying for a subscription they have stopped using. A Portuguese developer named Miguel Ribeiro got tired of bleeding money to forgotten subscriptions. He lives in Berlin and works as a senior frontend engineer at eBay Kleinanzeigen by day. At night he tried Billbot and a bunch of paid web apps. None of them worked. Some of them charged him a monthly fee to track his monthly fees. So in October 2023 he wrote his own. The repo today: → 7,922 stars → 365 forks → GPL-3.0 licensed → Pushed last week → 69 followers on the founder's profile It is called Wallos. You self-host it. It tracks every subscription, every renewal date, every category, every currency, and shows you the actual number on one screen. Here is the wildest part: The subscription companies designed the system this way on purpose. 72% of people set everything to auto-pay because the checkout flow defaults to it. Cancellation pages are buried 5 clicks deep. Some require a phone call during business hours. A 2022 FTC report called this "dark patterns" and Adobe is paying $150 million in a settlement for hiding cancellation fees this exact way. Miguel did not raise venture capital. He did not write a Medium post. He did not go on a podcast. He shipped one PHP app from his apartment in Berlin and now thousands of people use it to claw back hundreds of dollars a year. The honest part: It needs a tiny server (a $5 Raspberry Pi works). You have to enter subscriptions yourself, it does not auto-detect from your bank. The UI is functional, not gorgeous. The author still works a day job and ships updates in his spare time. Berlin. One developer. The companies that auto-charge you forever finally have an enemy.

EMAW (@DanMyersCards) reported@Keith16King It's a USPS issue. Been that way forever. Just part of selling on ebay.

JustJoey (@JoeAmariii) reported@KazHeatCulture @FreedomMatt1 @BowTiedPrivacy it is what it is right now unfortunately. i just spent 290$ on a 8TB WD Red for my NAS. you can get used from ebay but you are taking a gamba on how many hours the drive has, bad sectors, errors, etc.

VirtualBacon (@virtualbacon) reportedBeen ripping packs the past week on @readycards Tried Whatnot, Fanatics Live, eBay breaks before. Same problem every time: trusting the streamer didn't pre-look, and any chase card is locked up for weeks on PSA before you can sell. Ready Cards is the first I've used where every pack is PSA-pre-graded and the pull is committed onchain via VRF before the break starts. Hit a card, you already know the grade, instant marketplace bid sitting right there. Disclosure: investor + they gave me SPIN credits to try it.

FoaRyan (@FoaRyan) reportedYou know main street's in trouble when I'm getting harassed by an eBay customer at 4 in the morning, over a $4 disc that broke in the mail, that I already refunded.

Hyperbeam (@HyperbeamTCG) reported@0xLevi It’s just like EBay ! Never had an issue just have to buy from trusted sellers

Serineh Paria (@SerinehP) reported@eBay I sold 13k ultrasound machine and followed every Seller Protection rule USPS internal records show DELIVERED with signature, yet the buyer was refunded anyway due to a tracking glitch. I lost both my machine and my money. Please escalate this to Fraud Leadership

MainStreetPerth 🌸🐸🇦🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧 (@MainPerth) reported@alt_w_v_g Thank you! As an ebay seller for many years the changes have only made everything harder. You MUST pay for 'Promoted Listings' (a misnomer if ever there was one!) to even be normally seen. You have to sell an item to be seen. You have to list an item to be seen. The search engine is TERRIBLE. Absolutely hopeless to buy or sell. There is SO much that needs sorting out. It's as if the company has actively TRIED to lose money over the last 10+ years.

SD (@RealSDiSo) reported@CardAficionado The problem with your preferred platform is fundamental. Even if you polish up dog ****, and make less of it, it’s still dog ****. No one bought Wembanyama moments last night when the entire collectible industry around him went nuts on eBay, on Panini. Everywhere, but top shot. I don’t know if you’re paid these days or what but it’s over. It’s never coming back.
-
Simon Ellison (@SimonEl43156310) reported@heydomoshi It only becomes a problem is the institutional owners of ebay are also short Gamestop. Then it becomes a math game, what is the gain in the ebay position vs the loss in their gamestop position... if they are in trouble with gamestop, I doubt the gains from ebay would cover it.

Mr. Weather ⚡️🏴☠️ (@MrWeatherTrader) reported@Baron_Revilgaz I think lock down ebay, then use warrants and new leverage for chewy by october.

AhShoot22 (@mpviper1989) reported@SmallCapBob2 Sells calls* then rides the wave down with puts profiting in both directions. THEN gets ebay.
-
Ricardo Meza Moreno (@rikrdo_meza) reported@unusual_whales The context everyone's missing: GameStop already offered to buy ALL of eBay at $125/share ($56B). eBay said no. Ryan Cohen just raised his stake anyway. This isn't an investment. It's a hostile takeover in slow motion.

Hoops (@novaxnomask) reported@MTTrading2 @MeatballsRedux @eBay What's the issue?
-
pete wright (@prwright55) reported@DavidPrice96469 @TakeThatClouds @SteveBroughto11 Calls for pilots to be shot down? Who has the capability to do that? I haven't seen any surface to air missiles being sold on Ebay recently. In fact I was questioning both sides of the story: not supporting outlandish theories but also stating I disagree that "nothing's changed"

SANTI🧞⭐️ (@Santi_iiago36) reported@dbayexquisite The problem is I can’t check the phones i want to buy on eBay like the trust level isn’t that high enough for me
-
Scrumbopulous X (@ScrumbopulousX) reported@HobbyHero_Bros @eBay I've reported fake listings, and even showed that there were multiples of the same card posted using the same pictures, description, everything. And eBay always comes back and says ''This account does not go against our policies". Even if you can't PROVE the card is fake, or it's a BS listing, at the very least they should acknowledge and take down listings that have the same picture/description. Nope. Apparently you can have 100 different accounts with the exact same pictures/description. That isn't against eBay's policy, even though it's literally one of the menu selections on ''why are you reporting this post?''

🇺🇸 Shall Not Be Infringed 🇺🇸 (@keeperOfRad) reported@RapidResponse47 I get in trouble if I dont pay taxes on my $601 eBay sale. This **** is getting old.
