  Hey @eBay can you please fix your software to promote something other than random sellers being “Live”?! It’s a very poor “Welcome/Home page”. I’ve only seen and heard complaints from your customers. Please hear us all when we say we generally dislike it

  @davidfrum I actually put up “missing bear” signs all around the neighbourhood. I had to give in & go down the eBay route only to discover the one I bought was 3x the size. We had to say that BearBear had been on holiday & had eaten very well (OG BearBear turned up in wardrobe 5years later)

  This is going to be the biggest hobby news of 2026. I received a card that went through eBay authentication, AND IT ARRIVED WITH A PIECE OF TAPE OVER THE CARD SAVER SO THE CARD DOESN’T SLIDE OUT!!!! They must’ve hired some super smart NASA scientists to finally find a super complicated solution to this issue

  @boggs328 Richard, just out of my curiosity, how many of them exhibit decent centering? I have owned three different ones, and none of them were well centered, and a recent eBay ‘rabbit hole’ search didn’t yield many raw ones at all. I think Topps had an issue with this specific card?

  He's 24. He built the LiDAR replacement Tesla just paid $3.8 million for on six broken iPhones he pulled off eBay for $40 apiece and a Raspberry Pi 5 he wired together in a Boulder apartment Each of the six iPhone X TrueDepth sensor modules is the same infrared dot projector Apple ships in every FaceID iPhone - the exact same hardware that maps a human face at 30 frames per second in complete darkness. He mounted them in a hexagonal array on a $8 3D-printed bracket he printed at a Boulder makerspace, wired them to the Pi through custom USB adapters he soldered himself, and wrote a Python driver that stitches all six depth streams into a single point cloud at 34 frames per second. Effective range: 40 meters. Total hardware cost: $240. A single Velodyne HDL-64E LiDAR unit that Tesla previously benchmarked against costs $75,000 He posted a demo video to GitHub in October showing his rig tracking pedestrians, cyclists, and parked vehicles across a Boulder intersection with 94% accuracy against Velodyne ground-truth data. A Tesla Autopilot engineer found it through a Hacker News thread three days later. Elon Musk quote-tweeted the demo the following Saturday - called it "the sensor architecture we should have shipped in Hardware 4 instead of paying Mobileye a decade of licensing fees." By December Tesla had wired $3.8 million into his account for the sensor fusion algorithm and a three-year consulting contract to integrate the TrueDepth array pattern into Autopilot Hardware 5 rolling out to every new Model Y this quarter Tesla runs at a $900 billion market cap running Autopilot on the premise that autonomous vehicle perception requires their proprietary silicon and their multi-billion-dollar sensor supply chain. Mobileye sits at $15 billion in market cap selling ADAS chips on the same premise. Elon Musk just paid a 24-year-old in a Boulder apartment more for a Python driver and six broken iPhones than most Tesla Autopilot engineers earn in a decade

  @lachlanscards @eBay @natsturner Im a realist on this stuff if there’s damage a partial refund/refund. If no damage a “sorry that happened” would suffice. The best service eBay could do for anyone is fixing the issue. If I were eBay I’d be billing back PSA for every time this has resulted in a refund

  @BreakerCulture From my experience selling on Whatnot consistently, these numbers HAVE to be a lie. It feels like a dying platform. That’s why they raised the money. eBay is burying them. Our numbers from show to show just seem to go down - especially viewers. About to jump ship to eBay Live.

  It's a lot of tried and true common sense rules that have withstood the test if time and has worked for me for a long time. When I first started using 25 years ago I was working at an investment firm. Traders making millions trading billions would come to my desk to ask me for software for this or that. I asked them what they thought of IBD and they said, "Yeah that's basically what we do." They don't follow stocks down, they don't catch a falling knife. The most important part to me is that it filters all stocks to the cream of the crop. You wouldn't see SPCX there, it only lists the most profitable stocks. I pick stock that in the 90th percentile in profitability and 80th for growth. I don't pick stocks with C or D ratings for institutional investments - if the big boys are done buying, it's going nowhere. They should be in a hot sector, which they track and leaders in their sector. You don't buy at any time. Stocks are that are on their third base (jump) aren't going to jump three times more. Buying at cup-with-handle points - and they tell you which ones are (often you have to pay for the subscription to get the latest). I don't pay them big subscription fees, I wait until I get a $20 for 3 months deal or something when I am ready to rotate my stocks. I only trade a handful of stocks. I used to just buy the Saturday edition for $1 at the corner store and circle the stocks I understood and looked good in the IBD 100 and go from there. I've been tremendously successful at investing when using it and not so much when I don't. I hit so many double and triples on their recommendations - combined with my sense of the world. I bought MELI - LATAM's ebay - for like $55. It's now like $1500. LULU and KORS were 300% gains- betting on women overpaying for clothes and bags is generally a winner. So I usually filter their filter with my senses of the market, especially the tech market. This is the Peter Lynch strategy - "invest in what you know." That's how I sold GOOG at $399 this year, it's $350 now. I know they're chatbots sucks compared to their competitors. They do have some great AI in Robotics but that's not going to show profits for a while.

  Closed beta keys hitting eBay for $300 is one of those moments where the industry accidentally says the quiet part out loud. We turned testing into a resale market. At the same time, Nexon is banning MapleStory cheaters for manipulating boss clears, which is correct. But it’s the same trust problem wearing two outfits. One side breaks the game. The other breaks access. If your test pool is tight enough that people can flip entry for rent money, that isn’t just hype. That’s scarcity doing what scarcity does: rewarding the worst incentives in the room. Healthy anticipation looks like players wanting in. This looks like a black market wrapped around QA. Cheaters make wins feel fake. Scalped test access makes the whole "closed test" feel fake too. Different violation, same message to regular players: fairness is for whoever got there last.

  @ValueAddedRS Criminal negligence from a fiduciary perspective. Whatnot’s valuation is almost 50% of eBay’s market cap. eBay had the opportunity and the infrastructure to be the leader in this market. Instead Jamie loves hiring consultants, using private jets to fly to movie festivals and selling every single share that the company awards him outside of his ten figure salary. This guy needs to step down yesterday.
