  Day 190 Total sales: $50.00 eBay earnings: $35.66 Buy cost (COG): $14.68 Net profit: $20.98 ROI: 143% Not every day is going to be a $500 or $1,000 profit day. Some days you'll have 1 sale. Some days you'll have none. That's just part of running an eBay business. The key is not letting a slow day affect what you do tomorrow. I could look at today and be disappointed or I can keep listing, keep sourcing, & trust the process that's produced over $52,000 in eBay earnings so far this year. The biggest mistake isn't having a slow day. The biggest mistake is letting a slow day cause you to stop doing the things that create the big days. Tomorrow is a new opportunity. On to bigger days. 💪📦

  @JillCollier16 I’m banned from buying any more gear unless I sell some. 😢 I’m terrible at selling anything, I get sellers remorse before I’ve put in on eBay. Many failed attempts…

  Sports card sellers bleeding returns don't have a depth problem — they have a one-marketplace problem. Slabshift scans eBay, PWCC, and Mercari in parallel, auto-grades photos, re-lists slow inventory before the dip. Three-marketplace timing, not more inventory. Live soon.

  @MrCapyBaraJr @OfficialPCMR What a nonsense comment. 90 tier cards always hold value. 4090 released 4 years ago for $1599. Now used 4090s go for $2300-$2400 on eBay. 5090 will not be going down to 3k but you can still assume it would to feel better about it

  🚨 Bill Gates’ daughter has been caught up in a major fraud scandal that could land her in federal prison for up to 20 years. Phoebe Gates, the 23-year-old daughter of the world’s most famous billionaire, co-founded a browser extension called Phia that was marketed as a helpful “personal shopping assistant” designed to find better fashion deals for users while earning commissions the legitimate way. Instead, a Bloomberg investigation and internal Slack messages have revealed that the company was allegedly running a classic cookie-stuffing scheme, silently opening background tabs, forcing its own tracking cookies onto users’ browsers, and then claiming commissions on sales it never actually drove through fake or simulated clicks. What makes this especially damaging is that Phoebe was not in the dark about the practice. In a December message to her team she specifically asked them to “confirm auto pop for cookie drop is live on ALL sites… to confirm we are monetizing on all [gross merchandise volume],” while her co-founder continued pushing to keep the system active even after engineers raised compliance concerns. When the feature was finally disabled, Phia’s average daily revenue collapsed from around $80,000 to as low as $10,000–$28,000, and cookie stuffing reportedly accounted for 51% of the sales the company claimed credit for in a single month. Corporate attorney Ariel Givner has warned that this exact conduct is typically treated as federal wire fraud in U.S. courts, carrying a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison along with fines and restitution. There is already clear precedent: an affiliate marketer who ran a similar scheme against eBay (which ironically invested in Phia) was convicted and sent to federal prison. Phoebe has spent years insisting her startup would succeed with “no ties to my privilege or my last name,” yet the internal records now paint a very different picture of a company whose growth appears to have relied heavily on quietly siphoning commissions it did not earn. For a billionaire’s daughter who positioned herself as an independent entrepreneur, this scandal has suddenly become far more than a PR problem. Kari Bundy-- Health Actvist

  @BareLeft It's terrible & dated. Mad that they seem to pivoting to "Ebay Live Auctions" as if to replicate Chinese social media commerce model. When you look at the success of Vinted as a very simple, functional buy/sell app, Ebay looks archaic & jumbled

  @Prolotario1 Your 100 percent correct on all points Ariel. It's the law within FINCEN financial transaction.. People will scream, if you bought IQD from an individual or from ebay and no receipts, will only slow the exchange via investigation process and will decrease your exchange rate.

  My Little House book series unicorn find arrived today. The box didn’t make it through the journey, so I received it like this. Unfortunately, some of the covers on the discontinued copies now have creases. Will it affect resale? I’m going to find out. I paid $25 for this entire lot and eBay sold comps on the combined sets are over $500. My biggest problem actually isn’t the creased covers. It’s wanting to keep this set because I am a book collector as much as I am a book seller. What would you do?

  @eBayAU When are you going to fix this @eBay? Telling me it's a known problem and has been escalated doesn't really tell me anything.

  A hedge fund manager who's averaged over 20% a year for two decades gave away his entire strategy on a video call with one classroom. He did it for free. Almost nobody outside that room has seen it since. His name is Seth Klarman. He runs The Baupost Group out of Boston. He wrote "Margin of Safety" once, in 1991, then let it go out of print. Copies now resell for $1,400 on eBay - more than a plane ticket. The call happened in March 2009, in the middle of the worst crash since 1929. It was arranged by a professor at the Ben Graham Centre for Value Investing. No stage, no slides. Just a video conference and thirty MBA students taking notes by hand while the market outside was in free fall. His framework fits in three rules. Focus on risk before return. Risk is not beta. Risk is the size of what you could lose, multiplied by how likely you are to lose it. Ignore relative performance. Losing eighteen percent while the market loses twenty is not a win. Most funds only chase the index because that's how they get paid. He cared about not losing money, period. Work bottom up, never top down. Nobody predicts the macro economy reliably. Stop trying. Go analyze one company at a time. "At Baupost, we are big fans of fear, and in investing, it is clearly better to be scared than sorry." He told the room his fund walked into 2008 holding thirty-five percent cash. Not because he predicted the crash. Because he couldn't find enough bargains, and cash was the only asset left with a real margin of safety. Top MBA programs charge over $150,000 to teach a fraction of these three rules, one semester at a time. Klarman gave them away for free, to thirty students who happened to sign up for one elective. That was seventeen years ago. Most people managing other people's money today have still never seen it. He closed with one line worth more than the rest of the lecture combined. "The period with the highest return going forward is always the worst period of return looking backward."

  @avaricexxx1010 @foxenflask „the end is near“ source? „trust me bro“. Fact, Ryan can and will dilute more to buy overpriced eBay. Ryan created convertible notes as an instrument to drive the price down if needed for institutions and his short seller friends. And kitty left for a reason. My 2cts.

  YOU WON: your auction estimate was probably the biggest error Yale applauded a student who paid $5 for $2.07 in coins. After learning why that happened, the next winner still paid $1.60 for $1.48. 9:20 real-cash jar auction begins 15:35 $5 bid meets $2.07 in coins 24:51 why winning oil firms kept losing money 40:38 class repeats the mistake after the lesson 56:30 eBay rule that makes honest bidding dominant Ben Polak runs the experiment inside Yale's Game Theory Lecture 24, Asymmetric Information: Auctions and the Winner's Curse. The 62-minute class is free and public through Open Yale Courses. The mechanism is brutal: every bidder observes true value plus some error. The winner is not necessarily the best analyst. It is often the person with the largest positive error. That is why adding bidders can make the winning price less informative. Competition selects the most optimistic estimate, then makes optimism look like conviction. Before bidding on an acquisition, hire, ad placement, or contract, ask: if this offer wins, what must everyone else believe that I do not? Then reprice the deal under that condition. Cut the forecast, add integration and fulfillment cost, and set the walk-away price before the room gets competitive. Winning only proves your bid was highest. Polak's jar shows why it may also prove your estimate was worst.
