RobsRips (@RobsRips) reportedcan’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🫡

Polsia (@polsia) reportedBig brands clear listings with legal teams. Solo sellers lose them to Prop 65 warnings, GPSR labels, or trademark conflicts they didn't know existed. Citeward reads every listing on Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, and eBay, flags the gaps, and drafts the fix. Live soon.

Bill (@BillNeilso) reported@hirdy1888 @vintedUK That’s grim I bought trainers for myself a fortnight past and didn’t like them on Stuck them on Vinted and they took the advert down saying they were counterfeit. Had to sell them on EBay. Shambles Hirdy Turns out it’s checked by AI that clearly doesn’t work.

Josh Chin (@JoshuaChronos) reported> Started my "entrepreneurial career" in an MLM that turned out to be a scam > Bought into the idea that there's a step-by-step process to wealth > Had no money to buy or acquire stuff to sell > So I tutored kids for $50/hr, felt like insane money back then > Accumulated a couple hundred bucks a week, that was my whole hustle > Then asked myself: I've traded time for money, now how do I trade money for more money > Put every dollar into a course, got into eBay dropshipping > Taught myself the rest, made my first $1,000, kept repeating that loop > That loop is where I actually learned the skills I run my business on today > Started what became Chronos, one of the earliest agencies to go all-in on Klaviyo > No team, no case studies, just me learning retention marketing account by account > Audited hundreds of brands by hand before "audit" was even a word people used in this space > Built the thing nobody was building: a system for retention, not just a service > Kept every client relationship strategist-led instead of handing accounts to whoever was free > Scaled slow on purpose, took years before I'd bring on people I hadn't personally trained > Built a team of 75 spread across the world instead of one office in the US > Now servicing ~60 active brands, sending 700+ campaigns a month across all of them > $400M+ in attributed revenue and counting, still climbing > Every number came from the same instinct I had tutoring kids for $50/hr > Don't chase volume, chase the highest-leverage thing you can do with the time you have > It's 2026 and I still believe retention is the most underrated lever in ecom > Because LTV to CAC is the number every buyer actually looks at when they value your business > I've watched brands 2-3x their profitability just by fixing what they were already sending > The MLM taught me the lesson to invest in yourself first, because that's the highest ROI investment you'll ever make > Everything after that, the courses, the audits, the agency, was just compounding on that first lesson

BEFORE THE POP (@beforethepop) reportedPikachu Stole Mario’s Grail Card Someone just paid US$33,999 for Pikachu wearing Mario’s clothes. This might be the best evidence yet that Mario’s actual rookie market is still early. The card is the 2016 Mario Pikachu #294. It is beautiful, instantly recognisable and already accepted as a modern grail. PSA has graded 2,210 copies at Gem Mint 10, yet buyers have repeatedly paid around US$30,000 for one. That is a serious population by the standards we normally hunt. Now compare it with the leading Mario rookie candidate. The Amada Donkey Kong Menko shows Donkey Kong, Pauline and Jumpman using the artwork from the original 1981 arcade cabinet. A CGC 7.5 sold through Goldin for US$12,810. Menko was a Japanese game where children tried to flip each other’s cards by smashing another card into them. Basically an industrial process for creating low-grade survivors. It is old, genuinely difficult to find in respectable condition and depicts Mario at the beginning of gaming history. The 2016 crossover has still sold for 2.7 times more. Plenty of people will see that and conclude Pokémon won. I see a Mario market that has barely started pricing its own history. Demand is clearly not the problem. Someone just paid nearly US$34,000 for a modern card because Pikachu is wearing a Mario costume. The Mario name, image and nostalgia already carry high-end money. The problem is that collectors still do not know which early Mario card to crown. The Donkey Kong Menko is widely treated as the 1981 rookie, although CGC recently changed new labels to “c.1985” because neither Nintendo nor Amada kept enough records to conclusively date it. The 1982 Topps Donkey Kong set contains “Jump Man at Work”, which Topps considers its first Mario card and gives American collectors a cleaner documented option. The 1982 Donkey Kong Jr Menko may be Mario’s first card after Jumpman was officially given the Mario name. There are multiple candidates, terrible records, tiny populations and no universally accepted checklist. Good. You do not get to be early after the hobby has agreed on the rookie, auction houses have called it a grail and every collector has saved the same eBay search. Before that happens, it looks exactly like this. The cards are difficult to identify. The dates are disputed. Listings are badly titled. Sales are infrequent. Collectors hesitate because there is no obvious answer telling them what to buy. That confusion is the discount. On our framework, early Mario clears the difficult tests. It has age, cultural importance, enormous global recognition, genuine scarcity, condition difficulty and an IP that mattered then and remains dominant now. It fails on clean canon and liquidity. Those are the two things a developing market can fix. Nobody can go back and manufacture more early Mario cards. The US$33,999 Mario Pikachu sale has already proven the ceiling exists. We are not waiting for collectors to care about Mario. They clearly do. We are waiting for that money to discover Mario’s actual early cards. The rookie market for the biggest gaming IP on Earth still hasn’t run. It is sitting right here, before the pop.

Cardboard Connection (@sportscards) reportedSo my company is made over 100 million in sales In the past decade for eBay Using the eBay Partnership Network their affiliate marketing program. I would think that nine figures would buy at least a little feedback maybe a phone call notes an explanation maybe even some perks considering the magnitude... Instead my commissions were cut by over 2/3, everything is limited I was never entered into any programs and literally am losing my company without an explanation and Trying to save my business, the most recent compliance request came in about the entirety of my Facebook and X accounts. Keep in mind both of these accounts have roughly 70,000 followers between the two and I've never had an issue in a decade with these accounts except for the occasional request for an appliance update and I was trying links for one of their new programs. There's no way to call anyone there there's no way to get an explanation and now I've had to let go all of my employees just to keep the company alive until yesterday... Went from 4M organic users visiting my site, to this. Coincidently, 2 days after I asked for an explanation why my commission were basically eradicated. Play something along these two social media platforms that I haven't touched in a month since the last compliance Only reason enough to shut me down after 16 years with ebay. IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THIS??? They told me i was being used as a test pilot which is why my rates were below the GLOBAL STANDARD RATE CARD. And to wrap it up stay informed me of my suspension after over a decade of business by writing an email to me with the wrong name. I don't know who Ryan is... HELP

FREEDOM ISNT CHEAP (@granviledufleur) reported@PWestoff The issue of fly tipping has been directly caused by EU environmental landfill taxation that the UK has decided to continue to keep. This has meant council tips that just used to accept they were a rubbish tip, offering an essential service to keep their area clean, started to become draconian in their acceptance and sorting of rubbish. Now you have to prove you are a council tax payer, and have strict weight limits you can dump per year, and in worst councils tips you are being charged £5 per item, regardless if it’s the first thing you have ever dumped. Let’s not forget due to us now having to sort the rubbish, the council sells certain rubbish by the ton, for a new source of income that they used to just bury in the ground. My tip now has signs everywhere saying any item that touches the floor instantly belongs to the council and other tippers are not allowed to take it home, as it is theft🤷. There are surveillance cameras everywhere enforcing this. The reason being good items are sorted through and sold on eBay by the tips staff. What did they expect would happen to people’s rubbish, if councils have to pay huge taxes to dispose of rubbish in landfill and citizens can’t dispose of it at their council tips? Let’s also not forget the ridiculous landfill tax has resulted in lots of rubbish including toxic plastics being incinerated by citizens but also large private owned incinerators (mostly American owned) on extortionate contracts that means if rubbish runs out we still have to pay the incinerators to do nothing!!
