  in the last 6 month i had issues with @YouTube @eBay and @Payoneer - huge businesses. In each an automated system decided there was “a problem,” instantly slapped me with “permanently suspended,” and that was it. no warning. no appeal. In two of those cases it took around a week to get to a real person in customer support. Each took 1-3 month to be resolved. in the end ALL THREE said "sorry for the mistake"! i get it, companies grow, get more customers, and mistakes happen. But it is increasingly obvious that big companies are in AI race slashing costs and chasing profits… while treating their #1 asset (the customer) like disposable beta testers. Anyone else living this nightmare? What’s the best way to actually push back? Or is this just the new normal?

  Card people - has anyone had any high end experience selling a graded card with eBay authenticity guarantee ($15k+)? I just want to ensure I won’t get screwed somehow and there isn’t a new scam I’m unaware of that could cause problems

  Any eBay sellers? I sold a mouse with a disclosed left-click issue. Buyer said it worked as expected when received. Two weeks later they claim the click fully stopped working and want a refund, even though the listing said no returns/refunds. Would you refund it or not?

  Fixed the production key issue. Immediately burned my entire API token allowance by asking eBay to check every country on Earth for a single Pokémon card. it found nothing.

  @PokeHEX5555 @ApeStackin @LlcPickaxe The problem is PokeData takes Pre-release eBay sold prices as the starting price which are probably unauthorized/illegal and those sell for insane prices that no realistic person would pay for

  Never living down the fact I let the cheapest copy of Amrita ever slip through my fingers on ebay. It was like 60 bucks with shipping.

  @FutureStacked I cant wait for all those $10000 gpus to hit ebay once the boxes start getting broken into. They'll probably go for cheap

  eBay needs to tell their legal department to calm down.

  @heydomoshi "Elliott was more focused on unlocking value (for themselves, as a hedge fund)" 👍 I see similarities in some of the issues that were called out then, but end result was mostly just selling off StubHub & Classifieds, not the significant op changes needed at eBay at the time (and still). Elliott sold off their stake in 2021 but many of their points still stand & there's still much work to be done, imo.

  @DiligentDenizen Everyone using Grok and this platform contributes to the high demand of these datacenters. Same goes for Facebook, ChatGPT, Amazon, Uber, EBay, Netflix, Google and the rest. How about addressing the high demand issue first?

  @eBayForBusiness have a problem caused by horrible usps service the last year contacted eBay help but they don’t seem to understand, it’s like they don’t read the message and comprehend it. How can I contact someone that can help? We have been selling on eBay 20+ yrs

  Unsubscribe from every streaming service today. Put down your phone. You have a Bluray DVD collection. Rewatch a great movie you forgot about offline. Or buy a used DVD movie you love on ebay. Own it, don't rent it.

  Here are some jobs that didn't exist before computers and the internet came into existence. You'll notice, Bell Atlantic is out of business. USPS is struggling thanks to email. Many retail shops have gone bankrupt because of online competitors. Notice many of the new jobs are much higher pay/status than the ones that were lost.
