  Ben Nemtin (@BenNemtin) reported 8 minutes ago

  At 22, I dropped out of university because I was struggling with depression. I felt disconnected from myself and had no idea what I was supposed to do with my life. 3 of my friends were feeling lost too. One night, we asked each other a simple question: What do you want to do before you die? We wrote down 100 dreams. Then we borrowed an old RV, bought a camera on eBay, called ourselves The Buried Life and set out to cross off as many as we could. For every dream we accomplished, we promised to help a stranger accomplish one of theirs. Our goal: film a documentary to show our friends. We had Motorola Razrs in our pockets and social media wasn’t a thing. There was no business plan. No audience. No guarantee it would become anything. We were four friends with a list, a camera and a desire to feel alive again. We started with whatever we could do ourselves: We kicked a field goal at a stadium. We started a dance in a public place. We helped a guy get his first truck so he could start a business. Then the project took on a life of its own. People heard about our list and they’d email us offering help. They'd ask for help with their dreams too. So, we kept going, fueled by the response. Years later, the impossible things on our list began becoming real. “Make a TV show” became a series on MTV. “Sit down with Oprah” became a conversation with Oprah. “Write a bestselling book” became a #1 NYT bestseller. But the greatest thing that came from that list wasn’t crossing things off. It was that, at the lowest point in my life, a list of things I cared about gave me a reason to move forward. One dream led to one small action. That action created momentum. And that momentum changed the entire direction of my life. It taught me that the life you want is in your hands; you just have to be brave enough to go get it.

  @OriginalRoddick @eBay I remember when my father and I stopped using @eBay. It was in 2011 and we had gotten, not one, but two reviews and accusations of fraud for us reselling refurbished laptops we bought and rebuilt ourselves. The last one the guy sent us the laotp back but with a broken screen. Ebay did jack all, didn't remove the negative reviews after all the evidence showing they were malicious and fake reviews, and started screwing with our listing. I was not selling the laptops for profit. I made at most $10 on each one. I was rebuilding them for raw experience as I was trying to get an IT job. Thankfully I did get a job a few months later.

  eBay's CEO shared an article a newsletter writer published about his pay. His comms chief replied "We are going to crush this lady." A month later the CEO texted "Take her down." Then eBay's security team mailed her live cockroaches, a preserved fetal pig, and a book about surviving the death of a spouse. Ina and David Steiner ran EcommerceBytes from their home in Natick, Massachusetts. A small trade publication for online sellers. What enraged executives was the comment section, where sellers vented about the company. The campaign went far beyond packages. eBay employees sent pornographic magazines in David's name to his neighbors. They listed the couple's home on Craigslist as a nightly destination for swingers. They flew to Boston, tailed the Steiners in rented vehicles, and planned to break into their garage to plant a GPS tracker on their car. The Steiners began sleeping in separate bedrooms so that if someone broke in at night, one of them could escape and call police. A Natick detective traced one rental van back to an eBay employee. That single trace unraveled the whole operation. Seven employees pled guilty to federal charges. James Baugh, the security director who ran it, got nearly five years in prison. Now read the final ledger. Baugh, who executed the texts, went to federal prison. Devin Wenig, who sent "take her down," was never charged, denies knowing about the campaign, and left eBay in 2019 with a $57 million exit package. This week he settled for $2 million plus a $1 million donation to a First Amendment charity in Ina Steiner's name. Steve Wymer, the comms chief who texted "I want to see ashes. As long as it takes. Whatever it takes," is paying $50,000. The Steiners fought for seven years and got $48.7 million. The CEO's severance was bigger than their settlement.

  KY CARDS (@KYCARDPLUG) reported 18 minutes ago

  @Pittsburgh1Pete The issue is I’ve sent 3 cards to authentication through eBay. 1 was lost in transit to the facility and the other 2 got damaged after leaving the facility because they give a **** less how they package them up. Left a bad taste in my mouth and took forever to get compensated.

  Huge corporations despise small resellers like me. MegaCorps want to control their products forever. But legally, they can't. Here's why, and here's how you protect yourself against the army of lawyers they employ. Liquidation, store returns, and overstock products with their brand name drive these companies insane. And they want to stop you from selling them. How can you protect yourself from MegaCorp threats? By learning and using the Doctrine of First Sale. Here’s a quick rundown of what the DFS is and why you need to understand it. First – bookmark this post so you can refer back to it when eBay or Amazon shuts down your account due to a complaint, or you get a cease-and-desist letter from a MegaCorp. If you’re in this business long enough, it will happen to you. The official definition of the Doctrine of First Sale: The Doctrine of First Sale allows the purchaser of a legally obtained copyrighted work to resell, lend, or give away that specific item without the copyright holder's permission, limiting the copyright holder's control over subsequent distributions of that particular copy. The Shannon Definition of the Doctrine of First Sale: I bought it, I own it, and I can do whatever the hell I want with it. Leave me alone, MegaCorp! The DFS applies to every product sold, whether it’s a book, a piece of software, a designer handbag, or a refrigerator. If you bought it, you can do what you want with it. It doesn’t matter if you bought one or 500. They are all protected under the DFS. MegaCorps use a few tactics to try and intimidate you from reselling their products: VeRO complaints – these are complaints to marketplaces like eBay, Poshmark, or Amazon – the MegaCorp claims include: You are not “authorized” to sell their product. The product you are selling is not authentic The product details are a copyright violation. Here’s how to protect yourself from these claims: Always get a receipt. You need a clear invoice that shows the transfer of ownership. You’ll have to get comfortable sharing this with marketplaces if you want to stop VeRO claims. Ensure you are selling authentic products. Reliable suppliers are critical to be sure you are not buying counterfeit inventory. Never copy/paste product information from a MegaCorp website into your product listing. This is the fastest way to get your listing removed. Write your own descriptions. Be very clear in your listing that you are not associated with MegaCorp in any way. MegaCorps also like to send “Cease and Desist” letters to get you to stop selling their products. You need to respond to these Cease and Desist demand letters in a timely and confident manner. If you would like a template for responding to VeRO complaints and Cease and Desist letters for your future use, comment below with the phrase SCUMBAG LAWYER and I will send you a link. Be sure you are following me @ShannonJean so I can DM you. The Doctrine of First Sale is your shield against powerful MegaCorps that want to infringe on your Right to Resale! Want to learn more? Give me a follow @ShannonJean as I share unconventional methods to build wealth. We have to look out for each other against the MegaCorps.

  Win-rate reports are not profit reports. Margek is an always-on AI agent for Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and Shopify sellers — it reprices slow movers with demand signals, catches stockouts before they kill the Buy Box, and sends a daily dollar-denominated P&L. Coming soon.

  @TheLastRonin714 Same. Just for dead space on eBay, they are having a sale on digital, but I have no problem paying more if it means Sony won’t get anything from it. **** them.

  @onton_ai I'm not sure if this is what you're doing but it is a problem. Search is so unuseful these days. I want to find a part for a machine that requires certain technical parameters that I don't know? I have to take screenshots from eBay and force feed them into Grok. "Which of these works best?" It's really the realtime access to listings in e-commerce that will set your product apart. If it can't do that, it's cooked

  @spencerpratt They can’t have the Paramount merger go through because it would give the GameStop attempt to acquire eBay more credibility. Go down that rabbit hole

  Update: Yesterday was a solid day. $1,547 Website 1, $1,767.50 Amazon 1. Ebay, Website 2, Amazon 2, and Walmart stores were a bit slow at maybe $1,000 combined. Stocks were up $950 or so. Should finish the month today around $111,000 for sales across platforms and down around $8,000 on stocks.

  @hahurupset @caleb8725 Well that’s your problem. Why would you sell to any physical location thinking you’re going to get what you want? They have a lease, overhead, employees, inventory, etc.. Take a picture, post it on Offer Up, Facebook, or learn to use Ebay. A little effort will save you $$
