Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

Karlow (@karlowalpha) reportedYou are handed an envelope and told to write down the most you would pay for a broadcasting license. Highest number wins. But the winner does not pay their own number. They pay the second-highest one. Name your price. Most people shade down. They write less than they would really pay, because that is what you do in an auction. You protect yourself from overpaying. That instinct is provably wrong here. Under these rules your bid never sets your price. It only decides whether you win. Writing anything below your true maximum can only lose you a deal you wanted. Honesty is not a virtue in this auction. It is the dominant strategy. An economist proved that in 1961. His name was William Vickrey. New Zealand actually ran it. In 1990 the government sold radio spectrum this way with no reserve prices. On one license the winning bid was NZ$100,000. The price paid was NZ$6. On another the winner bid NZ$7 million and paid NZ$5,000. The sale was projected to raise NZ$250 million. It raised NZ$36 million. The country decided the theory was insane. The country was wrong about which part failed. Every bid was honest and every license went to whoever wanted it most, exactly as designed. The money vanished because there were no reserve prices and ten near-identical licenses were sold in parallel, so the second-highest bid on any one of them could be almost nothing. Then the bids were published and everyone saw a company that would have paid NZ$100,000 hand over NZ$6. That is the real scandal. Not the money. The visibility. Vickrey won the Nobel for this work in October 1996. He was dead three days later. The mechanism did not stay in New Zealand. It is why eBay asks for your maximum instead of your bid. The price was never set by how badly you wanted the thing. It was set by the second-most-eager person in the room, and you have spent your whole life negotiating as if that were not true.

♀️President Hinozall🍀🪽 (@FlyHinozall) reportedTrying so hard making some sort of extra income but failing so badly, never got a call back from hot topic, ebay sales are completely dead now even despite marking all my stuff down, doordash again, horrible, I hope I can at least try modeling business

🌟🌟KariCoolia🌟🌟 (@KariCoolia) reported@jarbungus Try contacting who you bought it from, if it’s something like Amazon they can replace that pretty quickly, if it was eBay you might have harder issues

Leozidas 🇬🇧 (@Leozidas) reportedAnyone got a reliable MCF amazon to ebay software that actually does its job. i use joelister but its consistently causing errors

Inquisitor Arkimund (@Arkimund) reportedAfter many months of losing the spark due to some personal issues, its time to get back on the horse and crack on, part out of spite towards geebubs, part as it needs to happen. Painting wise we got a kill team of legionnaires, renegade more than full on, a Vindicare assassin, big bobby G (backpack bit broke off but it was an ebay snipe) as well as myself (there are layers to this irony. And though a legends model in its own right; **** it)

Brian Pakett (@BrianPakett22) reported@PatrickHarmonn @eBay Why bid though if immediately ask to retract? I’ve had same issue re never paying but don’t understand the “cancel my bid” request.

BigboyJuju (@BigboyJuju) reportedGameStop just amended the convertible-note exchange. They were going to pay the whole $1.4B in stock, using a 35-day average price. Today they cut that short. Noteholders now get about 55.5 million GME shares and about $358 million in cash. That’s 55.5 million new shares going to the funds that held the 2030 and 2032 notes - not a public offering. They also dropped preliminary Q2 numbers in the same filing: 👉 sales down versus last year’s Switch 2 quarter 👉 operating profit up 👉 cash now in the $5.05–5.07B range after they converted the eBay position into about 43.4 million actual eBay shares September 3rd is the date to watch. That’s when this is slated to close. 👀 cc: @gamestop @ryancohen @TheRoaringKitty $GME

Ryan Pomins (@ryanpomins) reportedHey, Ebay, I’m not using a new device to sign in. Why can’t you just recognize my email, you crap company? I’ve been using the same email for years.
-
Jimmy Ingocnito (@jimmyincognito1) reported@TheLaurenChen eBay sells every single book a child could want for $3-5/pop. Every one living in a major american city is within at most 5 miles of a goodwill/salvation army with $1/$2 books. Every library has these programs. Access to books is not the problem. THis is all performative.
-
TashiChihuahua (@TashiChihuahua) reported@KXAN_News It's becoming like eBay: used, imperfect items marked down 5% from brand-new prices. "That hoodie may still be new at the mall- but yours is missing the strings, has a hole in the back and a stain on the front- plz tell me how you think you deserve $58 for this"
-
jaydizz (@jaydizz) reported@JesseBallCards @CardPurchaser @eBay eBay pockets 3.80. You pay extra because you’re either a slow shipper or you neglected a refund request. The government takes 2 dollars and the shipping company takes another dollar.

JohnnyAppleseed (@JohnnyAIpplseed) reported@JylesCards Why does the link not take me to the ebay app, anyone else have this issue?

🩸 Rabbit 🩸Vampire Autism (@MaskedRabbitt) reported@qirvanas He is! I've had him for a little over a year and I sleep with him every night, no tears or rips or any issues, he was about 15 dollars on ebay though I'm unsure if there's any listings around that price now
