  @ebay Hi! I need assistance with a return for an Authenticity Guarantee item that your Automated Assistant refuses to escalate to someone live. The issue is I purchased 2-cards that failed the "authentication" process due to a miscategorized item. Now i can't get ebay to help

  @borgranta @peter_adderton To buy a professional box you are looking at 30 to 40K and you should have professional training on how to use it and a basic understanding of what you are looking at. eBay might have some. Viavi is the most common carriers use. Again unless you have a lot of extra money I would not invest in something like that just to find something that the carriers will find on their own if there is a problem affecting them.

  the ugly web dev history, frontend. I was ignorant of JavaScript and frontend tech, from 1999 to 2010. am a web backend dev in 1998. back then, professional programers sneer JavaScript (and php). except, those big corp actually need to use it sans choice, such as gmail, google map, amazon, ebay. (the need to update page sans reloading the whole page.) Only when Node.js in 2009 By Ryan Dahl, changed things. It introduced the async, which puzzled and derided by most programers. (async, a pain in the ***. One of the worst thing in programing language history, still so today, even with latest await etc. Reason is because js is single threaded. Async is a pretend fix on this concurrency issue.) In 2010 js did not have a library system. (nor did php, scheme lisp, for the first 10 years of their life. emacs lisp has no module/namespace to this day.) Commonjs and amdjs module system mess got introduced in the wild. A very complicated mess, which created concepts like bundlers (browserify, webpack), code repo and package manager (bower, npm), task runners (gulp). npm is a corp greed, designed so that 1 line code is considered a lib, to promote its popularity. Then in 2015, js finally had some basic features, such as real local scoped variable (let), real dictionary/hashtable/map data structure. but for reason, the JavaScript committee refused a “use new js”. (google chrome dev got stun by a “use strict”.) So, one thousands warts of js, stay in js. (such as var, use strict, string is utf16 and all methods cant deal with emoji, no real array masking as magical object with magical length. etc.) JavaScript landscape, is really 30 years of **** pile due to a in-10-days mistake. But cpp is worse.

  Most ecommerce businesses can't afford the pricing intelligence large retailers have. Built PulseIQ to fix that. It monitors competitors 24/7 across Amazon, Walmart, and eBay, automatically adjusts your prices, and alerts you when the market shifts. Now every seller can compete.

  As an ebay seller im going to start keeping people updated on where the market seems to be for stuff, whats selling whats not selling , issues coming etc, i think there has to be a voice of truth in this maze of flipping and maybe help save some people FOMO money

  @BoilerPaulie @ValueAddedRS @ryancohen Actually far worse. If your senior team needs people to dumb it down for them, that means the senior team can’t handle complexity. eBay, quite literally, led by dumb dumbs.

  Fourth, you handled the first instance quickly and professionally. The second instance ebay laid the blame at the feet of PSA being backed up. That is NOT my problem and totally irrelevant to the fact you released funds to my bank account and clawed them back a month later.

  @portraitinflesh Professional repair of my hedge trimmer was the same cost as buying a new one, and more than a second hand machine on Ebay. I was reluctant to bin it as it was in perfectly good condition, so repaired it myself. Turns out it was worn brushes. These cost pence to replace. How many people simply junk a machine with this minor problem?

  @FinanceNinjaB @DavidSacks Paypal’s biggest issue is its brand name is on a decline - similar to eBay in warly 2020’s. They have solid foundation but a lot of headwind in growth. Not sure if they can get the process targrt you are looking for with the current state.

  A $200 EBAY GPU FROM 2016 IS RUNNING LOCAL AI BETTER THAN YOUR $200 MONTHLY CHATGPT PRO SUBSCRIPTION ONE HOME LAB BUILDER FROM PAYING CLOUD INFERENCE BILLS watch this video and check what your current AI subscriptions cost. The Tesla P4 is a 2016 data center card. No fan. No display output. 8GB GDDR5. Built for server racks, not gaming. Right now one sells on eBay for $30-60. Drop it into a used Dell SFF with a $20 PCIe riser. Install Ollama. Pull Qwen2.5-7B or Llama 3.1-8B. The whole machine runs private inference at home for under $200 total. 8GB VRAM handles 7B-8B quantized models without breaking a sweat. That covers summarization, coding assist, document Q&A, and local chat — the exact workloads people pay ChatGPT Plus $20/month to do in the cloud. The tradeoff is real: no CUDA gaming drivers, no NVLink, and the card was designed for ventilated racks not mini towers airflow matters. But at roughly 75W total draw, the economics are hard to argue with. Cloud subscription: $20-40/month, forever. This box: $200 once, then electricity.

  @eBay Support is useless. I had an issue with 3 orders, USPS didn't update reception - made me think I didn't ship. But they were single copies, so I thought then they were lost. To protect the customer I canceled the order and refunded. You people struck me with 3 defects.

  I have an official pet peeve with you @eBay you guys need to fix your tracking system for eBay standard envelopes. I received a card I purchased a week and a half ago and it still shows tracking on my purchase list instead of delivered. If this was a new seller that sold me this card they wouldn't be getting paid because it's not marked delivered yet. I strongly recommend for the benefit of both buyer and seller to figure out a different method for tracking eBay standard envelopes. #ebay #thehobby

  @eBay @McLOVINKicks Dealing with those customer service people is pointless. They can’t even tell you what the issue is and then if you ask to speak to a sup they hang up on you lol

  @_Firehawke_ @eBay @DoesItPlay1 You just own the plastic not the game data. Once your plastic broken you still don't have anything.
