  Ebay is ******* broken lmao. Got an item returned as "unverified" from authentication. (It's real, they're retarded) However, the shipping for the return package never updated. So, the auto-refund didn't register. And I can't manually refund the customer, since the "authentication guarantee" won't register a full refund as a "resolved dispute", thereby dinging my account. And when I go to ebay help now, this is the screen I get, because I typed exactly 4 questions longer than a sentence into their search bar. It is impossible to speak with a human on ebay. I guess I'll just ******* eat this for now, but I don't know what to do. And I hate that "working for yourself" still involved on relying upon retarded companies run by ****** Indian AIs, so you have to fight to make the few bucks profit you get after the dumb fees.

  MIT teaches auction theory with 40 minutes of integrals, then throws out one bar-room example that quietly ruins every bid you'll ever make. 2 men, 2 wallets, 1 auction. Google built its ad business on the broken version of it, and the honest version has been sitting on a shelf since 1961. Start in the bar. 2 strangers, each with his own wallet in his hand, neither one opening it. They agree to auction the combined cash inside both. Highest bidder pays his bid and takes everything in the pot. You know your own $60. You know nothing about his. So every number you say out loud is built from half the facts and a guess about a stranger. Here's the trap, and it takes a second to land. He is only still bidding when he thinks the pot is fat. He drops out the moment he knows his own wallet is thin. So every round you win is a round the other guy was glad to hand you. That's the winner's curse. You don't win because you read the room better than anyone else. You win because you were the most wrong person at the table, and the auction sorted for exactly that. Oil firms bid on offshore drilling rights this way. Nobody knows what's under the seabed. The company that wins the block is the company that guessed highest, and the company that guessed highest is usually the company that guessed wrong. Government procurement runs on the same math. So do apartment bidding wars, and so does eBay at 11 PM when 3 people want the same lens. Now the money part. Google's search page has several ad slots, and the top one gets clicked far more than the 5th. Advertisers bid per click, not per view, so each one is really reporting a private number: what a single click is worth to them. For years the rule was simple. The 5th highest bid takes the 5th slot and pays the 6th bid. GSP. Generalized second price. It sounds clean and it isn't, because losing here doesn't mean going home with nothing. It means going home with a worse slot. So nobody states their real number. Everyone shades down, and then spends millions a year on software whose entire job is guessing what the other 40 bidders are about to do. An auction where the optimal move is to misreport what you know. The fix was published in 1961. Vickrey first, then Clarke, then Groves. VCG. You don't pay your bid. You pay the damage you caused: exactly what everyone else lost because you walked in the door. And the property that makes it beautiful is stronger than "usually works." Under VCG, telling the truth is your best move no matter how the other 40 bidders behave. Not on average. Always. It holds for any resource, not just ad slots. Vickrey solved it in 1961. The ad market spent 20 years bidding around him.

  @FFVIINovels Ah the pixel models. Why do I feel like they went on sale once again down few years ago directly from the SE online store? I bet they can still be found online from individual resells like eBay and such.

  @FunkoPOPsNews Sad part is there is only a limited stock and most people rather not have a used one on ebay years down the road

  @CEOAdam He is calling out $Ebay for being a corrupt accomplice in price gouging scalping crimes. All Ebay cares about is making their fees aka kickbacks. @ryancohen will fix that and bring business ethics back to these marketplaces. Blacklist those Stubs members!

  Most people think building a six-figure online income requires venture capital, huge upfront inventory risks, or quitting your day job on a whim. Ryan Hogue proved the exact opposite. In his twenties, Ryan was grinding around the clock. He worked a demanding 9-to-5 as a senior web developer, taught coding classes at night, and took on freelance clients on weekends. The money was decent, but he had zero time freedom taking a single weekend off gave him serious anxiety. That is when he stopped trading hours for dollars and tapped into Print-on-Demand (POD) and scalable e commerce. Printful Instead of wiring thousands overseas for bulk physical inventory, he built digital assets that only fulfill when a customer buys. By steadily expanding across platforms like Amazon, Etsy, and eBay, he scaled his side hustles to over $49,000 a month in consistent, passive cash flow. Here are the biggest rules Ryan shares with anyone wanting to start today: • Never quit your 9-to-5 prematurely: Keep your primary paycheck to cover living expenses while using your spare hours to build sweat equity without financial stress. • Occupy digital real estate: Physical real estate costs a fortune, but listing quality designs across multiple online marketplaces costs almost nothing. • Focus on zero-inventory models: Start with print-on-demand or digital products where you only pay supplier costs after a customer pays you. • Embrace the slow compound: Sustainable income is not built overnight; it comes from dozens of small listings steadily compounding over months and years. True financial freedom isn't just about making money it is about reclaiming your time. What side hustle or passive income stream are you currently building or curious to test this year? Drop your ideas in the comments below, and share this post with someone looking to break out of the 9 to 5 grind!

  @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.

  Hi @eBay / @eBay_UK, is there anyway to switch off the annoying AI feature when uploading pictures of items to sell? It frequently comes up with inaccurate information and listing now takes longer due to having correct the errors.

  @CEOAdam Maybe we should talk to Ryan Cohen about the problems we’re having with eBay. 🤔

  @CardPurchaser I don’t know about selling more, but I do know what’s stopping me from sourcing more on eBay — the new soft bids they implemented. My buying is down over 30% since they rolled that out.

  @GoatBeardzDD @jackAskingQs I rarely go long GME options, if I do its random lottos. How I like to accumulate is simply buying every week or month and then when we go through the volatile cycles, swaps or big news then I look to sell calls against my shares. Last time I did this was the ebay merger news and price ripped up. Sold some calls and waited.. stock falls back down and I use the premium to buy more shares. In my experience when I have every emotion in my body telling me to full send my account on $GME calls (like what I feel right now) - is exactly when I need to clear my head and step back. We are playing a game of emotions against the market makers and players on the other end of this trade. Currently I am looking into building some long calls here which for me would be Jan 2027 and beyond but still for me this would be with money that I look at as risk capital. I have a meaningful position in shares so if the calls go to 0 I dont care. Just me though not advice obviously. My sell button is broke for the stock. Warrants are interesting. Personally I sold all of mine because I am not sure whats going to happen. Another strategy I will put on is selling a put where I am happy owning the stock and then using premium for shares or to pay for a call (if I see fit).
