  Designed and sold my own bike parts on eBay First £1k online Absolutely zero clue what I was doing I just saw a space for a product, knew how to get stuff 3D printed, and built the product I wanted for myself - Ordered 3D printed parts for ~£7 - Final assembly + packaging ~£2 - Sold for £35 bosh Only shut it down bc a friend (competitor in the industry) asked me if I had insurance Spent a whole day phoning up insurance companies None of whom offered to cover me And bc the bike part was related to steering… I bottled it and shut down the biz (Didnt fancy my chances getting sued over an untested product if one of my buyers lost his teeth in a 1v1 with the floor) Boy oh boy that was a fun summer

  Ok I took my original post down, tried to choose positivity today. But this is absolutely ridiculous. Bought a card on @ebay and got confirmation of my purchase from @PSAcard vault. $325. A few minutes later I received a notification that the card had been relisted. That’s

  @DanzelAlex Just unscrew the panels, and take them down normally! 🤦 Then you can put them up in your next place or sell them on ebay to recoup your losses! 🤦

  PayPal's real product in its early years wasn't payments. It was survival. The company was building something that regulators, banks and its own biggest platform had no category for. Stefan Heck: "It was a true disruption of a very established, very regulated industry, right? Payments, banking… and they were doing things that didn't fit an existing category." Not fitting a category meant almost everyone with power over PayPal had a reason to switch it off. Reid Hoffman, who became Peter Thiel's firefighter chief, describes the job he was handed: "Make sure eBay doesn't drive us off the service. Make sure Visa doesn't shut us down. Persuade the federal government that it's okay that we're not a bank." Nancy Lublin on the person they sent to handle it: "He was the wolf. I mean, he was the fixer." John Lilly remembers how routine the existential threats became: "I remember we had breakfast one time. He said, 'I have to leave at 8:30 because I got to get on the plane to New York to go talk to Eliot Spitzer, the attorney general of New York, who's suing PayPal for basically anti-money laundering type things.' And he's like, 'I just got to go fix this and here's how I'm going to fix it because New York was convinced that PayPal is being used for gambling, all sorts of other things at the time.'" There was no playbook, because the category didn't exist yet. So the company argued from first principles: "It was fun because part of what ends up happening is you say, 'All right, well, what's a bank? Like, what defines a bank? How do I persuade them? I've never talked to a regulator before. All right, let me go figure out how this looks.'" While all this was happening, PayPal was outgrowing its own ability to operate. June Cohen: "Their customer numbers had grown so exponentially that they could not keep up with customer service and they actually just made the decision that that was a fire they weren't going to fight at that moment." That was a decision, not a failure. The company sorted its problems by one test: "There was a whole set of fires at PayPal where if you didn't solve them, value of the company zero, out of business." John Lilly on how that worked in practice: "Here's the one, two, three top priorities. Everything else I'm not going to worry about right now because if I get these three things right, everything else will be okay." The fire that passed the test was eBay: "If eBay had turned us off, if we were no longer to operate on eBay, no initial users, no traction, no network effect, no ability to grow." And eBay had every incentive to do exactly that. John Lilly: "eBay had its own payment system that was competing with PayPal. PayPal was winning. And so I think those got very complicated and eBay very much didn't want to have to buy PayPal and eventually they felt like they had to." That's the ending. PayPal survived on someone else's platform long enough to become the thing that platform had no choice but to acquire. A reporter at the time: "We know these guys very well obviously because so much of their business is in fact on eBay. The synergies of putting these two companies together were incredibly outstanding and it just seemed like the right time to get this deal done." PayPal didn't win by solving its problems. It won by correctly ranking them and letting the rest burn.

  Made my first mistake on eBay tn. Listed a card (over $20) with my PWE shipping cost (I set a flat rate of 1.25 for PWE). Shipping is $6, anyway to change/fix this or am I just out the $5. No big deal if so, this is what happens when I list cards extremely tired. @CardPurchaser

  @drivenbyfilms ppl are saying the screener was for an already released film but even then, this could still get him in trouble. there's a reason why ebay listings don't go up until months after release and awards szn.

  I’ve started a daily series on projects that already have something real but the presentation still hasn’t caught up to its potential. Project Breakdown #72 — @ChaseCardApp ChaseCard is a live aggregator. You name the card. Set, language, condition, budget. They watch every marketplace. Beta is open. Alerts are already going out. Umbreon 38% under. Gengar 45% under. That is a real loop. The page does not show the loop. It shows a still of a deal and a link to apply. A collector already hunting grails will get it. A stranger sees another TCG promo card. Two problems. The watch is invisible. The product is not “Umbreon is cheap.” The product is ChaseCard catching it across shops while you sleep. That is motion. A price still is what eBay already posts. Motion is the alert hitting, the listing opening, the card matching the chase. The feed is one template. Photo. Percent. Link. Fine for proof. Weak as a brand. A ChaseCard frame should be the chase itself. Card. Target price. Hit. Same rails every alert. Then the beta link has a face. They already have the deals. The page should look like the watcher, not like the listing. See you on the next one.

  The most reliable way to misread an earnings report is to start at the bottom line. $GME just posted preliminary net income up roughly 78% on net sales down roughly 19%. Both numbers are real. Only one of them is about the business. The quarter, company figures: -net sales: $780M to $800M, vs $972.2M a year ago -net income: $290M to $310M, vs $168.6M -operating income: $150M to $170M, vs $66.4M The bridge from falling sales to rising profit is one line. Roughly $238M of gains on an eBay derivative asset and an equity investment, less roughly $75M of digital-asset losses. about $163M of pre-tax marks. For scale: that eBay exposure is carried at about $4.947B. the company books about $790M of sales in a quarter. when the portfolio is that big, the income statement is partly a report on the portfolio. Credit where due: operating income more than doubled. that is a bigger percentage jump than the net income line everyone quotes. smaller, tighter, better-run retailer. real progress. not the headline story. Keep this part: -net income up while revenue is down: find the non-operating line first. it is usually one line, and it is usually named -size the securities book against the operating result. a $5B position swamps a sub-$200M quarter, in both directions -falling sales with improving operating income is a cost story. real, but a different story from the headline I am fully invested, and none of this changes that. guidance direction and price reaction have been disagreeing all earnings season. last Thursday five of seven reporters raised guidance and four of the seven closed lower. reading the price as the verdict on the numbers is the error. The case against: I may be underselling the operating turn, which more than doubled at every point of the guided range. and these are preliminary figures. no call is scheduled, and complete results are due September 8. $GME $EBAY

  I think that every time EBay or another platform has issues they should reduce the fees for the equivalent amount of time.

  Beware of this eBay seller. Purchased a J Baez lot when he was hot and I had to cancel and refund him because it sold on Mercari probably 15 minutes prior. He purchased it literally as I was taking down the eBay listing. I messaged him and apologized and refunded him immediately. Well… he left negative feedback and said he never got the cards.
