  @EdwardCollects the problem is the TGCplayer and eBay markets, you end us with sellers who do no research on what they have and over price things signaling others to do so as well. no piece of cardboard that took $1.25 to print should ever cost more than $20 on the secondary market.

  @glenn_tunes He developed Space X with private equity. Is the first to utilize reusable rockets. He launched a worldwide satellite Internet company which will soon be a cellular company also. He started Tesla and it's now the #1 selling car in America. He's currently working on putting solar powered AI servers in space which solves the massive amount of electricity and heat dissipation issues. Since the AI satellites are part of Space X no one will be able to do it cheaper. He started eBay with 1 partner which funded everything that came after it. And less than 4 years ago he overpaid $44 billion for Twitter and it looked like the golden child ran into his first brick wall. . . failure. Twitter's value was estimated at close to $25 billion at that time. Currently X is valued just short of the $44 billion he paid for it in just 4 years. I read a short news story on investing by a wall street analyst. He said investing and making money is easy. Just buy stock in anything Elon starts or has invested in.

  @eBay You are having a glitch showing every Fedex shipment delivered when its picked up by the carrier. Fedex shipping is correct when you click into the tracking number so its just an Ebay issue. There are several community posts about it.

  Had a guy the other day on eBay... 1. 1 FB 2. About 15 items for sale 3. Listed a 1990 Donruss as an "error" because it said 1989 Leaf 4. Was asking $13,200 5. After I called him on it, he said "I've been doing this a long time... You don't know what you're talking about" 6. Later, after I blasted him, called himself a minor... so therefore... (I) was harassing a minor... 7. Ok

  @AutonomyJenny Your fear is unhinged and linked to your personal persecution problem, same as the rest of the 18% fringe. Your neighbors aren’t going to burn down your property or sell your children on eBay. Stop being such a snowflake.

  In 2006, I made $10k/month on eBay. Then I got banned overnight. In 2023, I built a payments system to $1 billion in GMV on Shopify. Then Shopify shut me down. Most AI builders are making the same mistake right now:

  @ebay - you need to fix this and keep the authentication team accountable for the lack of attention and care put into proccessing authentications and sending them to customers. This is incredibly disappointing and I will escalate this to whoever is running this division of Ebay

  Tru Arte (@MrHuntinNoobs) reported 32 minutes ago

  @ebay I have a genuine question. How come when I look for an item sold it is not in chronological order? Like the most recent order should be at the top of the page I'm looking now and the most recent order is 15 to 20 items down but you'll have an item that sold in May above it

  We can help you get the screen replacement from Amazon or eBay and ship to Nigeria. Then you get a technician to fix it for you when it gets here. Done that for a lot of our customers and it worked.

  Pierre Omidyar built eBay over a 3 day holiday weekend while working a full time job. He was just testing a theory. He was born in Paris in 1967 to Iranian immigrant parents who had come to France for graduate school. His family moved to the United States when he was 6, settling in Washington DC where his father completed a medical residency. He grew up in Maryland, became obsessed with computers in high school, and spent as much time as possible on his school's single computer terminal. He studied computer science at Tufts, graduated in 1988, and spent the early 1990s working at Bay Area tech companies while building side projects in the evenings. He was deeply curious about how people interacted economically with each other through technology. Over Labor Day weekend in 1995 he wrote the code for a simple online auction platform while holding a full time job. He wanted to test one idea. Could you create an efficient marketplace by letting buyers and sellers set prices together in real time? He listed a broken laser pointer himself just to see if the functionality worked. It sold for $14.83. He emailed the buyer to confirm the item was broken. The buyer wrote back to say he collected broken laser pointers. Within a year the site was generating so much traffic his internet provider made him upgrade to a business account. He renamed the platform eBay, hired a CEO to run operations, and took it public in 1998. He became a billionaire at 31, the youngest self made billionaire in American history at the time. He built one of the defining internet companies of the 20th century over a holiday weekend from his apartment in the spare hours between a full time job and the rest of his life. The market had spoken from the very first transaction.

  When these young guns see entrepreneurship they immediately jump into marketing, website design, AI or “buying businesses.” Then when they realize they have no idea what they’re doing or are battling in shark infested waters, they give up and say it doesn’t work and go back to their 9-5. I have two pieces of advice: 1. Start an eBay account. Get on Facebook marketplace and flip things. Get free, flip for more. Buy low, sell high. Overtime learn how to buy broken and fix. Once you have this down, you have a money making skill for life. 2. Use that money to fund a moat you want to build. Something that excites you. Something that turns your gears. Don’t do what everyone else is doing, do what you want to be doing. Even better if there are little to no courses or trainings on it. It means you can charge into it and be the “it” person. If you have to invest in equipment? Even better. Remember, the more you have to do , the less likely other people are doing it. This kills your competition, increases barrier to entry and allows you to hone skills overtime and exploit weaknesses in the industry. It also makes mistakes a lot more forgiving. I used to give talks about human psychology in marketing all around Vermont paid for by the government before everybody and their sister was a “marketer.” I could barely drink before my first $5,000 website deal. I flipped a couple online businesses by being the middle man before M&A blew up. And you know what? I hated all of it and if I wasn’t running full force 24/7 someone was catching up. Now I’m building a moat for work I enjoy that I can be strategic about. It took me speeding up to realize I need to slow down.

  @thwacknicklaus This club thwarted my free golf in college. Had a course where you paid $1 and wrote your name down if you’re a member. I’d pay the buck and write down my friend’s name who had a membership. Bought this driver off eBay and roped one down the first fairway - too much attention.

  Ebay is using AI to review reports and it determined there was no issue with a brand new account listing an Evolving Skies booster box case for 4500. Hopefully no one is dumb enough to buy it cause you’ll be fighting to get your money back.

  Robert Boehme (@RBoehme86) reported 46 minutes ago

  @levelsio It's the same for eBay, i sell lots of stuff here and to be fair sometimes there are issues (i seel old computer parts) but somehow it's super hard/impossible for people to give me negative review and at the same time i as the seller can only ever give positive reviews (there is no other option), i can only tell "all went well" and post it publicly. It's super weird, they completely removed the negative element here which is very bad in my view. I wonder what drove this, some social justive stuff or people gaming the system. I somehow for eBay assume the later. Tkae YouTube for example, since forever and a day you can just cheaply buy likes and and subscribtions. So downvoting a competitors content/offering would be crazy easy.

  ilya (@ibaklanov) reported 47 minutes ago

  You are seeing an amplification of a small number of negative experiences during a very emotional period. Each of these cases is a terrible experience for the affected people - no denial of that. There is a VERY large group of SH employees working on such orders, but there are limits to what can be done due to how ticketing works (Primary like FIFA doesn’t allow 3rd parties to be part of the transaction and actively blocks accounts that they suspect to be “escrowing” the tickets; platforms like SH have close to zero ability to verify if the seller transferred the ticket or if the buyer accepted it - you would be shocked by the amount of fraud on all sides; etc etc). Does StubHub make mistakes? For sure, everyone does, and it doesn’t excuse us. Does StubHub intentionally try to screw customers? No, and that would be a very stupid policy to have for a business that has aspirations to exist for decades. Can Stubhub reinvent the model that would make ticketing way more transparent? I wish, but the previous owner, EBay, almost bankrupted the company by trying to be the one and only “all-in pricing” player, while everyone else was doing their price manipulations (last year a federal all-in pricing law moved every player to the same terms). Many naysayers would demand only verified and preuploaded tickets, but once they see how few tickets are left, they immediately go to the next platform that “magically” has way more tickets.

  @silver207141 $250 by the end of the year. I thought we would be over $100 by now but the paper games are keeping physical down. Even if you have to pay the premium. I think spot should include prices of eBay and online trading sites. The fuse is lit I just thought it was shorter than this

  Update: I bought older cartridges off eBay. Alas, they did not work. I got the same error messages about a problem with the printer or ink system as I did before. New printer time it is. RIP, OfficeJet 8600. You were a faithful printer for 13 years. But nothing lasts forever.

  @LycanWitchcraft @LibertyValkyrie If the real founders were willing to sell what’s the problem with that? He founded Zip2 (sold to Compaq for $307 million in 1999) and PayPal (originally X•com, acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002) I don’t see him taking credits for them now.. that’s how life works..
