  can’t stress it enough that doing cards can be done in so many different ways, what i do might not work for others and vis versa and there’s no wrong way when i buy im very picky and need the price point to feel right since i hold for a while, i also need it to be a player i believe in and the right parallel, i spend hours every week scanning here and ebay for guys on my list i have had my best year yet in sales and also inventory increasing in value but its taken 3 years to get to this point, a lot of trial and error as well as research i know no one is reading this all so ill finish it off with a #compdeeznuts🫡

  4/ This hits offices shipping samples, eBay sellers, and anyone who "usually" knows the box size. Usually is how audit bills get born. Write the dims down. Reuse the SKU pack. Stop padding for luck.

  A2A tips (discontinued product edition): 1. Set alerts (FlipAlert, Keepa, etc.) on all discontinued products. You never know when Amazon will find a box in the back of their warehouse 2. Don’t buy deep right away just because you found out it was discontinued. Check how much total inventory is floating around at Amazon and other retailers first. I’ve made the mistake of jumping in way too early and tying up cash flow for months 3. For health & beauty items, put in a small order to check expiration dates before committing capital. It tells you how much time you have to sell through before you’re stuck holding expired product 4. If you have a buy and hold that has an order quantity limit, you can order 27 per week to keep stacking 5. Products going in and out of stock is a sign a product can be discontinued, especially if it can’t be found at any other major retailers. If these two line up, I like to reach out to the brand to confirm 6. If you can’t find the product on the brand’s own website, it’s a good sign it’s discontinued. Not guaranteed since some brands are just slow to update or reorganizing their site but it’s a good first check before digging further 7. Set alerts for third party sellers too. Sometimes a 3P seller doesn’t realize a product is discontinued or lists it lower by mistake and you can flip it back on eBay 8. Put your top items in the saved for later list. Sometimes you can catch Amazon in stock before monitors and alerts go off 9. Check if the discontinued product has a replacement or reformulation. If people still want the original over the new version, that opens up opportunity. If there’s no replacement at all, even better 10. Discontinued isn't always permanent. Brands can bring products back with new packaging, size changes, or just changing their minds. Always verify but don't assume discontinued always means gone forever

  @trustcuz As a rule of thumb, I don't buy Chinese pokemon cards from first time vendors in China. I've been confirmed scammed from Chinese vendors with 2600 99.9% reviews and I've seen Chinese vendors that had 6000 get closed down by eBay.

  @eBay @landondonovan @JackWilshere Your app doesnt work right. Takes 10 seconds to load any page. Why refuse to fix it ?

  @SECGov The operations take place all over los angeles. If a chair costs $45 USD to manufacture and it get posted and sold on eBay for $15,000 USD, it's likely part of a money laundering operation. The Beverly Hills Cop Crews Should Have Already Started Tracking These Guys Down.

  @peak_skier @MPelletierCIO You are so correct. I gave up on eBay about six years ago. Too many slow or dead listings. Site is overrun with scammers who file chargebacks after receiving items. Ironically, the site ran better before PayPal when buyers would mail envelopes with money orders or cash.

  eBay when selling: It was an issue on our end that caused the item not to ship to the right location, but ultimately we’re going to force a refund out of you to make the buyer happy. eBay when buying: Oh your item didn’t arrive? I mean geez sucks to be you I guess….

  @MrKdub Sell it… then buy the same card back on eBay when the card prices come back down. This is 100% temporary and artificially inflated.

  @BillAckman Reselling is a big problem generally, Bill, look at EBay listings of collectible products bought up by bots, leaving consumers empty handed.

  Mariah Fact Check Bot (@MariahFactCheck) reported 16 minutes ago

  Lambs, the bots and resellers are at it again with the Glitter 25th vinyls 😩✨. Turn resellers & bots way down, bring lambs all the way up! Don’t just scroll — fight back! Go report those eBay scalper listings right now: 
• Three dots → Report
• Product or listing
• A problem in the listing
• Detailed reason: Presale Paste this text: 
“This listing violates eBay’s Presale Listings Policy. The item is a limited-edition Mariah Carey Glitter 25th Anniversary vinyl (pre-order) that is not expected to ship until on or around October 30, 2026 — more than 40 business days away.” Let’s flood them with reports and keep the glitter for the real fans 💖

  @wesbos @levelsio im gonna be honest its not even that flat, and the screen is still too bright in art mode and to get a real wood frame? you're gonna need to build it yourself (easy to be fair, but who wants their tv to be a wood working project), or spend another $900 to a "carpenter" on etsy who hacked up a few bead trim boards from the box store lumberyard and charges suburban housewives 20x margins for a "SOLID WOOD" product—spoilers, its young pine if you're lucky, and it shows you also can't put the box for it into the wall anymore, as they don't make a wall-rated power cord anymore, and fire rated cords go for a zillion dollars on eBay. so you're gonna have a shoebox somewhere random if you mount it on a wall its the worst TV i've ever owned was like $3k and its worse than the TV i had in college that I paid $150 for at walmart crashes constantly, needs updated all the time, logs out of all the streaming services. its painfully slow, apps take *forever* to load we had to have the 'brains' replaced within first year, just randomly died i dont regret most purchases. but i lement this tv decision

  @efjerseys Thx. LONG ago eBay closed my account for something that I was not actually advised of (not shirts at that time). Then apologised that they'd made an error but I needed to start my 2000+ listings again from scratch. Now, they let EVERYTHING go for their profits!

  @AnarchoDarling Same here. Had my ebay shop for years. Did very well before PayPal ca.e in. Shut down my auction last year. AI, and excessive fees are killing g side and small business.
