  @kieran717 I don't know, as much as I like to be skeptical of corporations, I don't think they even care about the second-hand market. On PC we never had a real second-hand market because retailers wouldn't buy PC Games to re-sell. Some would, and of course there was eBay in the early 00s and private sellers, but it wasn't like the used console games market. The market just moved digital because of the convenience and stores like Steam emerging. You can tell physical sales have been trending down by looking at the store shelves over the last 15 years. In Best Buy you'd have entire rows of games for each major console platform. Now, at the Best Buys I've been to, Nintendo has the most space with 2 4-foot sections and PlayStation and XBOX being mostly accessories and game cards with a small display of games. I remember EA trying their nonsense of "paid online passes" in the early 2010s to try and get money off the second-hand market, but I don't recall XBOX or PlayStation doing anything like that. And technically they'd still be able to get additional micro-transaction purchases on a lot of those used titles so that's even more potential revenue off of a game that's stale in terms of new sales.

  Just like to say Ever since businesses started using AI, my life has become hell. I cannot buy anything at a decent price online. AI will either say my non-standard address is an illegitimate address or it doesn't exist, and it sways many, many good deals away from me where they refuse to ship to my non-standard address, thinking it's incorrect, and I end up not being able to buy on eBay 90% of the time. I can get three out of 10 packages delivered if I'm lucky; it's very discouraging, and I miss out on 90% of all the good deals. Not just on eBay, it's on Amazon, on Walmart, on all e-commerce stores because they're all having problems with this damn AI mingling in our addresses and making non-standard addresses illegitimate addresses, and it's hell for the poor, especially the elderly poor who have a hard time communicating I wish AI would get bumped, nuked, or destroyed. I'm an old-school computer tech from the '90s still managing, maintaining, servicing, and repairing my computers and devices. I use several Linux distros, which I find a lot more convenient, useful, and trustworthy than any Microsoft product or version of Microsoft Windows with all of the updates and manipulation to control the people's systems. It has destroyed my faith in Microsoft, and just when it looked like life was becoming something worth living and a technical world turning into something useful and enjoyable, they would have to drag AI, the real monster, into our lives, and today it's a living hell, and I wish somebody could hear my words. AI has a way of making sure nobody ever hears our voices anymore or hears me. I've noticed time and time again it's got control of people, and nobody's paying attention to what AI is really doing to people who don't have the abilities to properly articulate or communicate—people who are not so healthy physically and/or mentally or not schooled much don't spell or type very well, like me. Even though I am pretty tech-savvy, I'm nearly 70 years old and struggling these days now more than ever before. If there were ever a time I would be tempted to leave this world, if I didn't worry about where I would spend eternity, it would be easy, and I cringe at getting older or staying alive in this world the way it is now or what it's becoming to me and other human beings; it's a real nightmare that many who are like me are living in today.

  It’s such bullshit how every big company (Amazon? eBay, etc) can snatch money out of your account instantly, yet it takes 5-15 business days to get it back. It can be a complete error, and it’s on you to dispute it and wait.i should be able to take my **** right back.

  @revaultdrops Market Arbitrage & Secondary Pricing Report for Nike Kobe 10 Protro 'Halo' (IO3415-100) — Size 12 US Men's: • Model: Nike Kobe 10 Protro Low 'Halo' • SKU: IO3415-100 • Size: 12 US Men's • Retail Price: $190–$200 Marketplace Comps (low-confidence — search results are mixed sizes/general listings, not size-12-specific verified comps): • StockX: overall lowest ask listed around $500 (incl. fees $543), not broken out by size 12 specifically. • GOAT: no size-12-specific listing found for this SKU in what I pulled; don't have a verified range. • eBay: a brand-new listing (sizes 8-13) at $224.99, and one sold comp (size unspecified) at $250.00. Fee-Adjusted Arbitrage Breakdown (eBay Buy → StockX Sell) — this uses the $500 StockX overall lowest ask and $224.99 eBay listing as rough inputs, not verified size-12 comps, so treat the math below as illustrative only, not actionable: • Buy Source (eBay): ~$225.00 ask + $15.00 est. shipping = $240.00 total cost. • Target Sell (StockX): ~$500-$543 list price range. • Applying the skill's fee model (StockX 9% + 3% processing, $15 shipping) gives a rough net proceeds and profit, but I don't have enough size-12-specific, freshness-verified data to state a precise dollar figure or ROI% with confidence. • Capital Lock-Up Duration: ~7–10 business days (StockX payout delay). Risk & Liquidity Analysis: • Given the mix of pre-release/general asks vs a single verified sold comp ($250), any implied high ROI here likely reflects a data/comp mismatch rather than a real arbitrage opportunity — per the skill's >40% ROI sanity flag, this needs second-source confirmation before acting on it.

  @radioofam @CardPurchaser Here is my explanation: don’t use it. I’ve used eBay all of my life and other than selling a cheap card and using that cheap service, I’ve never had issues before. I feel like it’s a 40% chance customer never received it with a 50% chance of a negative feedback

  @minaunlovable Is it general gift card or company specific cuz eBay and Amazon sell good condition refurbished for decent prices. Also used CPUs good too but bit riskier, I never had problems w used CPUs tho.

  @d0tslash @eBay User terminal ID is bound to an account at the server side (internal Starlink network). There is no way to bypass it. You can try to contact Starlink support from your existing account and provide photos of your equipment with serial numbers visible, plus eBay invoice. There is a small chance they’ll do transfer.

  @WulfenGrom oh no i don't mean a server like that i mean like a real server, u can get a decent one for under 1k on ebay, then u build/train your own model. u can train it to do anything you want, u can build adaptors for training data based on subject

  Why is it impossible to actually TALK to someone if you're having problems with payments as a seller? AI is no help at all. Going round in circles Poor customer service @eBay

  @gizmo38_323 @Kidskull51 eBay doesn't really care they get their cut of the sale so why take it down

  Seems like an easy update fix for @eBay to automatically not allow cards that have autos to be submitted for direct grading to @PSAcard from the sale. Simply after the authentication takes place they should then send card back knowing it won't be graded for autos if thats case.
