  just spoke with a guy who automated dropshipping from japan to worldwide auto-listing rare high ticket items from mercari but on ebay he just copies entire listings from @mercari_jp (japanese ebay) onto ebay using selenium + claude opus 4.7 as Buy It Now charges 200% across the board for every single item + shipping made like $70k last month with barely 3% failure rates most common issue? item was sold in japan to someone else and bot didn't query on time and didn't shelf the ebay listing and someone bought it on ebay and he wasnt able to fulfill just does a big apology and offers some coupon for future purchase discount scrapes, uploads, translates everything + adds his own caveats/verbiage to protect himself in case those 3% end up hitting him literally does all possible categories you could think of meanwhile we're still in crypto lol

  @TheLgameZ @eBay I had to escalate through 3 different chat assistants and call to get my issue addressed. It was because @USPS hires idiots who can’t read addresses but eBay’s seller was also a ******** and refused to help after not providing valid tracking. Currently in the 3-5 day window.

  🎯 Shut it all down! I try only to buy from small/local businesses or EBay/Etsy individual sellers. I don’t buy from certain big companies anymore. If you want a specific brand buy it used or resale. Economic strike. Choose what companies you give your money!

  I found a Jayson Tatum signed Celtics jersey on eBay that looked wrong. The listing was not from a throwaway account. It was from rockymountainsportsmemorabilia: 100% positive feedback, 183 feedback, U.S. item location, and a $799 price. The jersey had a #Fanatics @Collect hologram, A598877, and Fanatics returns a live Jayson Tatum jersey record with the inscription "The Problem." But that is the real problem: when you check the number on the authenticator's site, you get a record. You do not get the fraud item's marketplace history, its source, or proof that the autograph in front of you is the original authenticated item.

  @uestradr $1k + $15k debt means you cant start paid affiliate (too small bankroll, gambling at this size) and organic affiliate is too slow to outrun the debt before interest eats you alive. First, call your creditors. Most credit card debt can be negotiated down 30-50% with a lump sum settlement. Could save you $5-7k off the $15k in one phone call. Highest ROI of an hour youll ever spend and most ppl forget this even exists. Just call, say youre struggling, offer 50% as lump settlement. Second, stop the bleeding. Cancel every subscription, no rideshare, no eating out, cheap rent or move home if possible. Saves $400-700/mo for most ppl. Compounds fast Third, get a high-velocity income source. If you dont have a job, the highest paying entry-level grind is door to door sales (solar, internet, roofing, security systems). $3-8k/mo realistic for grinders, top performers hit $15k+. Trades apprenticeship pays $20-30/hr fast. If you already have a job, get a 2nd one nights/weekends, or run rideshare for $2-3k/mo while you sleep less. Fourth, sell **** you own. Most ppl have $1-2k of clothes, electronics, sports gear, furniture just sitting around. Marketplace, ebay, depop. Fifth, build affiliate ORGANIC on the side. TikTok with affiliate links. 60-90 days of pure content before you see anything. Maybe $500-1500/mo by month 6 if you actually grind 1-2 hrs/day on it. Slow but free

  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:

  @DaleJr It's fun but the complainers on eBay and whatnot want something for nothing is going to be a problem it won't wear on you real quick. Even if you have money to burn it's just the principle of the thing.

  Only hoping to help show others how ridiculous automated systems are impossible go deal with. I have fought with Ebay, Walmart, and others about problems being denied by vendors. I am sick of the bullshit!

  @DePimblor @Timothy_Mark7 That's sadly a flight all the way over to DC sadly. Tho at this point I might actually settle for the ebay stuff. That and for Space Hulk. We have literally everything but the Genestealers (easy fix) and the Rules/Operations stuff.

  @AshtonEck8 Yeah I think he had a terrible take tbh, both online and shows have their pros/cons, but I absolutely think you can find better deals at shows. Unless your sniping new listings on eBay for a deal, almost everything is at “comps” or a little above

  @digitalassetbuy PayPal and Ripple have very strong ties together from the early days. PayPal was a Zero to One idea and eBay was the catalyst. It allowed PP to get massive volume quickly while integrating frictionless retail payment flow. Ripple is solving a similar issue for global banking. 021

  @Joffan7 For Zip2, he was using a Palo Alto dataset that was literally built by, maintained by, and given from the government. For PayPal, there was literally lobbying and legal work to get the online payment services to be allowed. The entire point is that the government gating allowed Elon and didn't allow, for instance, you. Without that government gating, PayPal doesn't become the ONLY option for a decade, so eBay buying it doesn't suddenly make $180M for Elon, which means the businesses he starts AFTERWARD don't exist in the same way. For both Tesla and SpaceX, government regulations have kept people from competing in those spaces. Elon's money allowed him through the gate so that he could play in the first place. The entire POINT is that the taxation and regulation by government has led to Musk's trillion. Without the government choosing winners and losers, Musk never becomes a trillionaire. Hell, the value of the dollar doesn't ALLOW a trillion dollars. Inflation has been 33.85x since 1913 (beginning of the Fed). The GDP of *Earth* was $111T in 2024. The entire POINT is that the "billionaire issue" comes from the government destroying our money system and choosing who's allowed to even PLAY in the market. They chose Musk. Now Musk has a shitload of <heavily devalued> money.

  Might start grinding eBay again now that I have a label printer. I had bad luck with ESE not getting to the destination though and having to issue refunds. Any tips to fix that and better ways to pack?? I would use a standard envelope sleeved and toploader then wrap the card in paper and insert into envelope.
