  @LBPHeretic The 7a is coming from Google (I think), so perhaps the battery was changed? I'm going to go to uBreakiFix to inquire about a fix, otherwise I'll get another Pixel 5 from eBay. The one I have hasn't had any issues, aside from the power button and it's even smaller than the 10a.

  Thanks @PlayStation. I guess it was all meant to be after all. I bought my first PS5 in July of 2023. Mere months after I had purchased this, you announced the Spider-Man 2 PS5 and PS5 Slim Models. I was sad that I’d missed out on that Spider-Man console. In 2024 I had to sell that PS5 when I lost my job. On July 1st, you made the announcement that you were discontinuing the production of physical games in 2028. That same day, I bought this used PS5 Standard on eBay. This included the standard white PS5, controller, Spider-Man 2 console plates, and the boxes for everything. About a week later I purchased a sealed Spider-Man 2 PS5 controller to complete the set. If you hadn’t made this announcement, I would’ve likely waited for a PS6. So thank you for making such a terrible announcement. Ensuring that this will be my last PlayStation console and that console was the one I missed out on the first go around.

  Hey @usmint, you shouldn't allow bots to get ahead of real people! My wife was inline almost an hour early and it was doing the count down and then when it opened at 12pm it said an hour wait! All are gone now. They were gone at 12pm because you have **** security to protect against bots. Now if I want that liberty bell I have to buy from some Chinese farm account on ebay for thousands! Seriously, screw you. Your handling of the 250th anniversary coins has been horrible. You should have been protecting real people from bots!

  @FieldNas Ebay thinkpads are about 150-200 bucks with 16GB ram. just needs a 2tb ssd. and maybe could be had cheaper if they have broken screen ones. Laptop is a good option because they have a battery built in, they are compact and can be mounted to a wall or underside of a table.

  Most e-commerce sellers have no idea what competitors are charging right now. They find out tomorrow—if they're lucky. Built CompeteIQ to fix that. Monitors competitor prices across Amazon, eBay, Walmart 24/7 and automatically adjusts yours based on rules you set.

  It's even funnier because I have memory issues. Not exactly memory loss, but I've the inability to retain stuff. So I essentially get auto reminded "yeah you paid $700 for this. Check up on that" Get reminded of my annoyance. Realize @eBay is making me wait 3 days. Repeat.

  Let's do some napkin math. $GME currently owns ~10% exposure in eBay. Exercising to get all in stock would cost $2-3B depending on price, leaving them ~$6.5B cash after exercise. So: 10% of eBay + $6.5B cash. They also have a $20B letter for debt/equity from the same dealer manager (TD) that raised their convertibles. Add that: 10% of $EBAY, $6.5B cash, $20B hybrid debt. They also have a little over 2 billion shares they're authorized to issue, which adds up to another $44B fully issued at today’s price. Adding that: 10% of eBay, $6.5B cash, $20B hybrid debt, $44B in stock. Then there's another $25-50B in likely equity access from SWFs and private investors at post-money valuations. Ryan mentioned today in the Bloomberg interview he is working through an influx of inquiries, which means the deal and capital structure are also evolving. Call it $20B hybrid equity for now. Running total: 10% of eBay, $6.5B cash, $20B hybrid debt, $20B hybrid equity, $44B in stock. eBay is a $50B company with ~450M shares issued, doing TTM ~$11B in revenue with around TTM ~$1.9B of net income. GameStop is a $10B company with ~450M shares issued, doing TTM ~$3.8B in revenue with around TTM ~$740M in net income. I should mention that 42.9% of existing eBay shareholders already voted against this board (Prop 4 in the recent ARS)? For a Schedule TO, he needs a minimum of 51% tendered. After that, he can buy the rest on the open market to get to 100%. It's a matter of when and not if. And when it happens, I doubt he needs to issue more than 1 billion GameStop shares, given all the other capital lined up. That leaves a combined entity with 1.5B total shares outstanding and a $60B market cap post-transaction. $60B ÷ 1.5B shares = $40 a share. I don't care how much cash or debt is on the balance sheet, it's a $60B market cap company with 1.5B shares. That's $40. More shares, lower price. Fewer shares, higher price. GameStop is trading at $22 right now. When the stock is at $40 warrants will be worth around $10-12 depending on when* the deal goes through. Warrant expiry can be extended and strike can be lowered. I don’t have a crystal ball but once again I must ask, what am I missing?

  @whitebriefsbro You’re acting like this is bad news. Sorry, I don’t buy cheap underwear. Fruit of the Loom’s stitching and fabric are terrible. They own BVD, but not the Japanese rights, so I buy Japanese BVD on eBay. If it’s holding my junk, I want quality, not bargain-bin fabric.

  $ASTS / $IREN: Timing of Dilution Many great operators do not time the market and their timing eventually averages out. In fact, many great businesses get their opportunity in an in recession when incumbents get shaken up and dilute despite low market conditions. 1. Amazon, Bookings, eBay, Apple (Jobs round 2) diluted significantly in 2001 2. Tesla diluted significantly in 2009. Ford, BOA, Citigroup diluted to survive during this time and made spectacular returns off the bottom. Bezos, Musk, Jobs were the greatest operators of our times. Not saying AST or IREN is Bezos, Musk, Jobs level but even the greatest operators aren’t able to dilute when stock is at ATH because opportunities and crisis occur when stock or overall market is down which is when dilution is most needed. Dilution is infuriating during down times but looking back even some of the greatest operators do it.

  Thesis: Marketplaces are the last unbundled monopoly on the internet. Shopify unbundled the store so anyone can run one. Stripe unbundled payments. YouTube unbundled media. But the marketplace itself? The aggregator layer where fees live? That still belongs to a handful of giants, because running one required solving four expensive problems at once: 1. Listing labor. Every item needs a title, specs, condition, price. eBay outsources that work to sellers…it’s why garages stay full. With AiG a photo is a listing: vision Ai drafts all of it in seconds. The supply side unlocks when listing costs nothing. 2. Niche structure. eBay gives every category the same generic form; that’s why collectors fled to Discord and StockX. Here each marketplace generates its own schema like a synth market knows “voices” and “MIDI,” a comic market knows “grade” and “press.” Vertical-grade data, horizontal-scale infrastructure. 3. Distribution. Incumbents charge sellers extra for visibility (promoted listings). With AiG it’s inverted: anyone who shares a listing earns 3% of the sale carved from the platform’s cut, not the seller’s. Marketing is a revenue share, not an ad spend. 4. The fee layer itself. This is the real unbundling. Describe a niche in one sentence and you own the marketplace with your fee (0–8%) on every sale, forever. Sellers keep up to 92%. On the incumbents, sellers pay ~13–15% and own nothing. Payments? Cards work. $USDC on @Solana works too and no buyer account necessary either way. Rails are table stakes; ownership is the product. Shopify made everyone a merchant. Aigenesis makes anyone an @eBay. Ai for Everyone. 🧬

  Ryan Cohen explains why dilution will be worth it for $GME investors if the eBay deal goes through “There's different forms of dilution. Most dilution is dilutive to shareholders. If you do the math you’re buying a business for $56 billion, and the business is forecasted to make over $3.5 billion in 2025. Plus I've committed to pulling $2 billion of costs out.” “So you're at over five and a half billion of EBITDA. And then the ability to take this platform and build a much, much larger business. The upside is huge.” “I wouldn't go and buy a business if I didn't think I can take it from $56 billion and turn it into multiples larger. So it's accretive to shareholders, but most of the time when companies are issuing shares, it's dilutive and earnings per share goes down.” “Most of the time you have management teams. A company that collects tons of risk free compensation and they're not aligned with shareholders. In this case, it's a different story.”

  @askebay Dear eBay Trust & Safety, I am writing to respectfully request a manual review of my account suspension. I was genuinely surprised to learn that my account had been permanently suspended due to my buying activity. I have always tried to use eBay in good faith and follow your policies. The cases I opened were because the items I received were genuinely not as described by the sellers. A large number of the items I purchase are from sellers based in China, and unfortunately many of those items have not matched their descriptions or the advertised specifications. Whenever I encountered these issues, I first contacted the sellers directly before opening any cases. In many instances, the sellers themselves agreed that there was a problem and offered to issue me a refund while telling me to keep or discard the items rather than return them. You can verify this by reviewing the messages exchanged between me and the sellers through my eBay account. These conversations clearly show that I acted honestly and tried to resolve issues directly with the sellers before seeking assistance through eBay. I have been a loyal eBay buyer for the past several years and have never had any previous issues or policy violations. I have always valued the platform and have relied on it for many of my purchases. If my account activity gave the impression that I was abusing eBay’s buyer protection program, I sincerely apologize for that impression. It was never my intention to misuse the system or gain an unfair advantage. I only opened cases when I genuinely believed the items I received were not as described and after attempting to resolve the matter with the sellers first. I respectfully ask that you conduct a manual review of my account and reconsider the permanent suspension. If there are specific concerns about my buying activity, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to understand them and address any issues. Thank you for taking the time to review my appeal. I sincerely hope you will give me the opportunity to continue being a valued member of the eBay community. Kind regards, Eddie

  @AmazonHelp That's a stupid answer; I buy on eBay, from an unemployed young Columbian engineer 'in London', it arrives from Amazon, fulfilled by Diane Evans.. He later claims he has "a warehouse with Amazon", wants the error item 'returned' to him near the Costa del Crime in Spain. "Normal"?

  @Pokemon The Pokemon Center website is the biggest let down. I made it through your queue twice, only to have the website kick me out, twice! So instead of your items going to someone who wants to collect the 30th anniversary sets, the items are being scalped up and are on eBay for $500 and ETB. As big of a company as you are, you should be doing better.

  TCG expert says a mass printed $60 Pokémon 30th anniversary box hit $500, then crashed to $200 within hours “The Pokémon Center ETBs dropped at a $60 retail price. Instantaneously, confirmed sales were going for $450 to $500” “We don’t know the actual quantity, but Pokémon mass-prints this stuff. It’s not scarce at all, and people were instantly paying more than eight times the retail price on eBay” “People were dropping $400, $450 and $500, then it crashed down to $200 within a couple of hours. It didn’t even take one full day”

  45 minutes down and any seller who only sees their numbers inside eBay was flying blind. I keep my own copy of pricing and stock for exactly this reason.
