  @heistypokerdlr @CardPurchaser If you're in the US, once it gets to the facility where they ship it overseas (seems to be one in CA and one in IL) the transaction is complete on your end. I'm not sure if they might try to scam you for the money back after it gets to that point, but then it'd be you vs eBay. English Pokemon is big in SE Asia so there are a lot of people buying from that area of the world. I haven't had any issues personally.

  @marklindores @CotswoldLadyB @thewhitecompany People who know what a hassle it is when things arrive broken. You do it with eBay and vinted as well because people send empty boxes or wrong items.

  Pierre Omidyar built eBay over a 3 day holiday weekend while working a full time job. He was just testing a theory. He was born in Paris in 1967 to Iranian immigrant parents who had come to France for graduate school. His family moved to the United States when he was 6, settling in Washington DC where his father completed a medical residency. He grew up in Maryland, became obsessed with computers in high school, and spent as much time as possible on his school's single computer terminal. He studied computer science at Tufts, graduated in 1988, and spent the early 1990s working at Bay Area tech companies while building side projects in the evenings. He was deeply curious about how people interacted economically with each other through technology. Over Labor Day weekend in 1995 he wrote the code for a simple online auction platform while holding a full time job. He wanted to test one idea. Could you create an efficient marketplace by letting buyers and sellers set prices together in real time? He listed a broken laser pointer himself just to see if the functionality worked. It sold for $14.83. He emailed the buyer to confirm the item was broken. The buyer wrote back to say he collected broken laser pointers. Within a year the site was generating so much traffic his internet provider made him upgrade to a business account. He renamed the platform eBay, hired a CEO to run operations, and took it public in 1998. He became a billionaire at 31, the youngest self made billionaire in American history at the time. He built one of the defining internet companies of the 20th century over a holiday weekend from his apartment in the spare hours between a full time job and the rest of his life. The market had spoken from the very first transaction.

  @eBay please tell your IT people to fix. When item is sold elsewhere and I end listing on eBay do NOT put in the inactive file! Items that are sold get relisted!!!

  @sneedweb I don’t understand why you’re still posting about eBay. The stock is down 20% since the offer. He doesn’t have anywhere near the cash or equity to finance this deal. The most cash he could get from the combined cashflow is like $7-8b, max. You’re watching this like it’s a damn tennis match. If eBay agreed today, he couldn’t do it, unless they gave him half the company. It’s a bluff, buddy. Stop talking about it. It’s not happening.

  A lot of new people here, this one’s for you. 🚨How to stop losing money to eBay return scammers. They buy your clean, working item… then ship back a broken piece of junk & demand a full refund. I recently learned this $7.49 trick & it’s an absolute game changer: Grab a cheap UV security pen (the exact one I use from amazon is in the photo). Before you ship, write a unique personal code or mark in a hidden spot on the item. It’s completely invisible to the naked eye, but lights up under any blacklight. When the return comes back, just shine the light. No matching mark? That’s not your original item. Upload the before/after UV photos in your eBay case and watch your win rate skyrocket. 🚀 Pro tip: Make the code truly unique, your own handwriting style, a random symbol only you make. Something scammers can’t duplicate even if they know the method. Resellers: add this to your process TODAY. It will save you hundreds (or thousands) in the long run. Who’s trying this? Let me know in the comments if you’re adding UV marking to your process. Also, would love to hear your best return scam stories below! Happy selling! Let's grow!

  Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) (@adamscochran) reported 24 minutes ago

  @ItsaMeCooper @beckettcollect There’s an operation out of China right now that duplicates the slab cases and finds cert numbers for high end cards, and puts a low quality version in their fake slab to sell on eBay. If you look up the cert it seems valid. A company I’m working with is actually working on a product to solve this issue. What will matter most is if the Centering on the cert image was the same. If that’s the case there is also a potential for it to have been a **** up rather than a downright fraud. Beckett has moved to using computer vision for centering checks recently, and as someone who has built his own home pre-grading rig, I’ll note that computer vision has a hard time with metallic edge looking cards, but especially cards where the front image layer (creature and UI) overlaps the border like this card does with its evolution information on the upper left and right of the card. That would still be no excuse and it should be reviewed carefully as the lack of image on the grading report is sus. But, mistakes, external fraud, or single rogue employee are all more likely than large sinister operation.

  A four-year-old Android TV box botnet called Popa — a plugin layer inside the larger Vo1d/Badbox 2.0 ecosystem — has been traced with high confidence to NetNut, a residential proxy subsidiary of Alarum Technologies Ltd. Alarum trades on NASDAQ as ALAR. It closed today at $9.205, up 1.27%. The market hasn't read Krebs yet. Three firms published simultaneously today: Qurium, Synthient, and Spur. Coordinated disclosure, not a single-researcher allegation — specifically structured so that legal pressure on any one outlet can't kill the story. That's a tell about what the researchers expected to happen next. The linchpin of the attribution isn't a leaked document. It's a LinkedIn profile. Ninjatech[.]io — one of the C2 domains that survived the Badbox 2.0 disruption in July 2025 and was re-registered within days to keep Popa running — traces directly to Moishi Kramer, whose LinkedIn identifies him as VP of R&D at NetNut, where he credits himself for building the company from the ground up. He says Ninjatech was sold five years ago and he has no visibility into current infrastructure. Synthient's SDK reverse-engineering disagrees: outbound traffic from Popa devices flows directly to NetNut client infrastructure. The consent fiction is the most important technical detail. NetNut's defense is that Popa asks users for consent before enrolling their device as a proxy node. Synthient analyzed over 20 active Popa publishers. None of them were observed asking for user consent. Not one. The consent mechanism exists in recent SDK builds as a legal fig leaf. It doesn't function in the wild. Spur published first, on June 8, and established the KYC collapse. Despite Alarum's claim that NetNut performs rigorous customer verification, a burner email and $5 in crypto buys full proxy access through downstream resellers — no corporate verification, no meaningful due diligence. The "verified corporations only" claim is, per Spur, marketing copy, not access control. The botnet survived a major takedown and rebuilt in days. Google, HUMAN Security, and Trend Micro jointly disrupted Badbox 2.0 in July 2025, seizing most of the original Popa C2 domains. Within days, several dozen new domains were registered as replacements. The VP of R&D's old domain being among them is not a coincidence. Scale: 1.4M+ compromised Android TV box IPs. Active for roughly four years. Primary uses: ad fraud, account takeovers, mass data scraping. MITRE T1496 (resource hijacking), T1090 (proxy), T1584.005 (botnet via pre-compromised supply chain), T1195 (supply chain compromise). The devices are sold on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress under thousands of model names, marketed as cheap streaming boxes. The malware is pre-installed at the factory or bundled into pirated streaming apps. The user never sees a consent dialog. The user never knows. This is not really a botnet story. It's a business model story. The gray-zone residential proxy industry — companies that monetize bandwidth from ostensibly consenting users to sell anonymous residential IP traffic to paying clients — has been a known eCrime enabler for years. What's new is the scale of the evidence, the quality of the attribution, and the fact that the alleged operator is publicly traded on a US exchange. If Synthient's SDK analysis holds, Alarum Technologies is running a NASDAQ-listed business whose core product relies on a network that nobody actually consented to join. That's not a gray zone. That's a SEC disclosure problem, a potential FTC enforcement action, and depending on the customer mix, possibly a CFAA exposure. We are nothing if not consistent. The account takeover angle is where this touches your stack directly. Popa's 1.4M residential IPs are used to bypass fraud detection systems that rely on IP reputation — credential stuffing, account takeover campaigns, and ad fraud all route through this pool because residential IPs don't trip the blocklists that datacenter IPs do. If your security stack uses IP reputation as a fraud signal, residential proxy networks like Popa are specifically designed to blind it. Layer behavioral signals — velocity, session patterns, device fingerprints — because the IP layer is compromised as a reliable signal at this volume. The supply chain vector is the one worth flagging for enterprise teams. These boxes sit plugged into home-office and occasionally corporate networks, behind the firewall, with a persistent encrypted tunnel open to C2 infrastructure that reconstitutes in days after a major joint takedown. The Badbox 2.0 / Vo1d device list published by Google and HUMAN Security in July 2025 is the reference. Check against it. NetNut is a commonly used proxy provider in ad-tech and market research. If any vendor in your supply chain routes traffic through NetNut for data enrichment or competitive intelligence, you may have indirect exposure to this network. ALAR is up 1.27% at $9.205 on 124K shares as of 17:43 ET. The Krebs piece dropped at 17:37. Watch the open tomorrow.

  Built sellyourjunk because I kept losing money trashing stuff I wasn't using. Spent weeks manually listing everywhere: eBay, Facebook, local apps. Thought 'this is broken, there's gotta be a better way'. So I built one. Work in progress, but getting better every day 💪

  @RockSol1d_ Sorry to hear that. I had this exact problem recently. If you’re lucky you can buy/swap an individual solenoid. If not you might need to buy the whole module. Check out aftermarket parts on eBay. They’re very reasonable, and either swap it yourself or get the mechanic to do the install.

  2025 Topps Cosmic Chrome NFL Analysis Keeping this one shorter than usual as I have a ridiculous amount of analysis to do over the next few days. If you are a fan of Cosmic, you know what you're getting. This one has everything you expect from the brand. If you are not hip to the Cosmic game, you're getting a fantastic looking product with a cohesive theme, centered around rare inserts with autos being the cherry on top. Part 1: The Basics Cosmic NFL drop via EQL tomorrow- Friday June 19th. Drop price is $650/box. Well, that didn't take long. We have our first WTF. Though Cosmic is always popular, we really need to install some goalposts here. The NBA version of this product, with its epic rookie class, pre-sold at $580 but then took a ridiculous jump for release day to something like $750. It didn't take long for people to realize it's pretty easy to get massacred at that price. Prices remained stagnant from there. These can still be snagged for $800 on ebay. Topps is effectively attempting to put flippers out of business. And $650/box for a lackluster NFL class should make moves to accomplish that goal. Part 2: Production numbers Total cards in product: 4,632,600 Compare this to 2025 Cosmic NBA: 6,355,200 At least they made 27% less of this than the NBA version. As they should. Total Production by format: Hobby- 57,770 boxes (7,221 cases) In addition, we have what has come to be known as a Cosmic staple- the elusive Lunar Boxes. Extremely tough to hit, these "God boxes" are some of the most exciting and valuable chases in the hobby, and these are even better than usual. Typically, each PACK of a Lunar Box contains a blood-red Lunar Parallel /10 and a better chance at hits than a typical box. Based on odds, Lunar Boxes in NFL also contain 5 autos/box. Not a typo. They went from a "better chance at autos" to a full-blown auto extravaganza. Total Lunar boxes produced: ~138 This means your odds of landing a Lunar Box are 1 in ~420 boxes (1 in 52.5 cases) If you are lucky enough to pull one of these, you won't know until you crack the seal and notice the packs say "Lunar". At that point...take a deep breath. You have a decision to make. Those packs sell for a few hundred each, making an entire box worth maybe $6k give or take. Congrats, you won life that day. Part 3: Heat Map Here's what you can expect from a box of Cosmic NFL: 0.34 autos (1 in 3 boxes should contain an auto, or 2.7 autos/case.) 5.4 parallels 10.6 inserts 2.4 numbered cards Lunar Box: 5 autos 26.4 parallels 14.75 inserts 30.6 numbered cards An infinite amount of Aura. Now let's cut to the real chase- Rare Inserts. Cosmic is busting at the seams with rare inserts, and many of them are amazing. For Cosmic NFL, the rare insert list will include Light Years, Cosmic Dust, Cos-Play, Supernova, Starfractor, Planetarium, and the wildly popular Planetary Pursuits. I suppose we could also include Constellations in this, although they are technically parallels here. Your chances of pulling a rare insert from a box is better than your chance of pulling an auto. Combining all the rare inserts listed above, one of these should fall 1 in ~1.75 boxes, or 4.6 per case. 57% of boxes should contain a rare insert. Planetary Pursuits alone should fall 2.1 per case with ~47% being the most common variety, Sun. As far as the checklist goes, namely for Planetary Pursuits..I think it's solid. Maybe not amazing. I love that Mahomes has Planetaries. Those will hit hard. I have to wonder when Topps will get rights for Mahomes autos. I know I'm a homer being from KC and all, but the lack of Mahomes autos leaves a serious void in current licensed NFL products. Meanwhile Panini is laughing in their face and producing a product the price of a car that's basically all Mahomes autos. It's like trying to put a quick 10k miles on that rental car just because you can. Part 4: Value Map Based on drop pricing of $650. $/card: $8.13 $/parallel: $121.04 $/auto: $1,911.76 $/numbered card: $270.83 Part 5: What Would the Squatch Do? First let me clarify- I love me some Cosmic. Cosmic boxes are some of the most fun to rip in the hobby. They can also be a gigantic kick in the nuts. Not so long ago, when they were $300-$400, this was doable. At $650+, that fun turns to stress real quick. If I were planning to flip these, I'd be worried. They might do fine. Then again, they might not. I'm sure the "La Carda Nostra" trinity of Topps/Blowout/DA will manipulate the resale market to appear like they're spking in price. Cosmic NBA appeared to be over $1k/box for about 5 minutes too. Don't buy into it. It sucks that the joy has largely been squeezed out of these for rippers. Because they truly are a fun rip at the right price. I think that price is somewhere south of $650. This one screams "Buy singles!" If I'm joining the party, I'm saving the stacks I would have used to rip a few boxes and buying some cool rare inserts of my guys. Planetary Pursuits are phenomenal. Constellations are outstanding. Planetariums are extraordinary. Supernovas, Starfractors, Cosmis Dusts...it's like a candy factory of rare inserts. Maybe that means some will end up being affordable because there are so many options. That's what I'm doing with Cosmic. Let everyone else get kicked in the beanbag while I cherry pick my PC cards. Part 6: Print Runs Base cards per player: ~25,250 Base rookies: ~11,580 ea Unnumbered parallels: Refractor- ~580 ea Nucleus- ~300 ea White Hole- ~75 ea Rookie Refractors- ~580 ea Rookie Nucleus- ~300 ea Rookie White Hole- ~75 ea Unnumbered Inserts: Light Speed (35 card CL)- ~5,515 ea Extraterrestrial Talent (25 card CL)- ~5,790 ea Stars in the Night (25 card CL)- ~5,780 ea Star Clusters (15 card CL)- ~5,515 ea Rare Inserts: Light Years (20 card CL)- ~83 ea Cosmic Dust (20 card CL)- ~83 ea Cos-Play (25 card CL)- ~83 ea Supernova (25 card CL)- ~83 ea Constellation (100 card CL)- ~24 ea Starfractor (100 card CL)- ~35 ea Planetarium (25 card CL)- ~86 ea Planetary Pursuits (10 card CL): Sun- ~725 ea Mercury- ~360 ea Venus- ~180 ea Earth- ~120 ea Mars- ~72 ea Jupiter- ~36 ea Saturn- ~18 ea Uranus- ~9 ea Neptune- ~5 ea Pluto- ~4 ea Unnumbered Autos: Cosmic Chrome Base Autos (68 card CL)- ~40 ea (I know. The odds say these are easier to pull than Green Space Dust Autos /75, so how can there be less of them? These are never all inserted into a product. Some are withheld for damage replacements, or it's possible not every player signed certain parallels. Whatever the reason, only ~30 of each Green /75 are inserted into the product. Additionally, only ~36 of each Gold /50 are inserted. This is not uncommon. I've talked about this in the past and it's just not worth dwelling on. This will not make the expected pull rate of autos go down.) Solar Flare Signatures (26 card CL)- ~50 ea Equinox Autos (29 card CL)- ~45 ea First Flight Signatures (25 card CL)- ~50 ea #thehobby #SlabSquatchAnalytics #2025CosmicChromeNFL
