  Life hack #2 to save money: Learn basic home repair. Most house appliances and units are simple things. Just a few parts. You can ask Chat for help with an issue you have. What I have seen is that parts become obsolete fast for appliances, as well as HVAC units. This is why your repair guy will opt to replace your used units instead of repairing them. But you can find whatever part you need, used, on Ebay. And very cheap. I replaced washer transmissions with used units. The main board in my HVAC unit. Etc. That board hasn't been available new for years now. If I had called an HVAC guy, the repair would have been a new HVAC unit. $5000 or more instead of the $90 I spent on that board. Start with the simple stuff. Water heater not turning on? Maybe it's just the igniter, a $15 part. Over the long run this saves you a lot of money. Invest that money. This helped me to retire early.

  @DSR_Joker I know this makes me a terrible fan, but I’ve never been able to read any of ADB’s stuff. I completely missed the Night Lords series, and when I finally learned about it they were out of print and $80 each on eBay. Dan got me into 40k though, through Eisenhorn back in the day.

  Reported a fake item on @eBay, they said it's not fake. They choose to ignore the counterfeit problem.

  Got so insanely lucky on eBay the other day! eBay had some code thing for $50 off & got lucky & found a like new commander class Motormaster complete w/instructions for an actual reasonable price (after the $50 off) with free shipping. Came in in 3 days too. One Grail down.

  @foxenflask @ValueAddedRS It depends on the entity that eBay acquired - for sneakers - its Sneakercon - for your scarf it should be certilago which fashion houses just like Hermes used but I would have to see the whole listing. We’re starting to see changes of where the seller or buyer is located. I recently sold a Tom Ford coat, sent it 2 day ups w/ signature insured - it went to the authenticator- they signed, verified then sent it to the buyer usps ground w/ no signature, no insurance & it was “lost” - the buyer was a good person and shared videos of his ring camera the day it was allegedly dropped off - usps didn’t deliver it & agent told me I didn’t have to worry about it, I was protected then a week later the buyer filed a charge back and eBay opened a case against me and put the funds on my account in suspension. Most sellers aren’t out to scam - the issue is usually the “house” - btw @ValueAddedRS have you heard eBay took away the ability to write your own message organically on packing slips? I always included my contact info if there’s ever any problem or interested in anything else I have or that they may be looking for… today I noticed, now I’ll just have to make a separate sheet and make it more obvious. Everything is so damn sneaky w/ them

  @PayPal PayPal @PayPalSupport Your digital systems are completely broken and supporting fraud. eBay officially ruled in my favor on July 29 for item 168207396673 (corporate fraud device) and voided the purchase. Yet PayPal refuses to redund …

  @AmeraucanaLover I deal in comic books. Some comic shop owners look down on customers who buy from them with the intention of flipping it. Which is hypocritical, because every shop owner in the modern day got their start flipping books on eBay they got from local shops.

  I got a strong offer on eBay, but would like to keep this sale off eBay. 2003-04 Fleer Authentix LeBron James Rookie /1250. I can send video, but truthfully, the only issue are the edges (very common). A BGS 7.5 did $425 July 7th, a raw with an upside down picture did $312 August 6th. $300 shipped gets it done. I do recommend sending in to get graded, as the 7.5 grade edges look somewhat similar to mine. The only other knock on that one was the centering, which truthfully, I don’t know how to tell centering on this card lol

  @DubMentality You ship FedEx with insurance. Honestly eBay is fine. Since you don’t know people you might consider a consignment shop that can sell for you. If it’s a giant card then an auction house. Problem is it’ll take months to get money.

  @For_Macragge Doesn't help the website still constantly errors out and half their stock for the LE's in on Ebay before 10:00. Looks super unprofessional.

  @Polymarket GameStop is reportedly walking away from the $56B eBay bid and pitching a partnership instead — eBay would get access to its ~1,600 stores for cards and collectibles, plus GameStop wants a board seat. The reason is simple: half the offer was GameStop stock, and GME is down 28% since May while eBay is up 7.6%. The bid devalued itself. Polymarket still has “Will GameStop acquire eBay?” at 11% on $2.67M. That looks rich for a deal the buyer is reportedly abandoning — but check the resolution rules, since a JV almost certainly wouldn’t count as an acquisition.

  @epicmichealboi8 So I was on Ebay just looking at meta runner merch to see if the plushies went down or any other merch like the hoodie and I ended up finding One and me and the seller negotiated a price and I bought it! Still was a hefty price

  @OffDaHook35 Sorry this jerk was such an *******! I’m a $5 card buyer and literally the only complaint I have ever leveled towards a seller was over a broken Upper Deck PowerDeck disc that was delivered pwe and machined. But I know a lot of people on eBay are pedantic ********. That sucks
