  @TheMauiWowi For eBay standard envelope I just put a card in a penny sleeve, into a toploader, then into a team bag. I then put that into a small envelope then into a bigger envelope. Never had any issues with damages

  @O_klme @EFCSankey @eBay No real news yet unfortunately. I just got off the phone and was told that IT is dealing with it and knows it is an issue affecting a number of accounts, but they do not know when it may be fixed.

  I purchased a computer on @eBay last week and the seller took the money and shut down his account. I've been trying to talk to someone at E-Bay about this but there seems to be no way to contact a human being at that company. Their automated system keeps telling me they have contacted the seller, which makes no sense because he no longer has an account. If E-Bay doesn't get this straightened out immediately I'm going to boost this post and make sure that at least 100,000 people see it.

  My read of what’s happening with $GME currently: - Cohen said half cash half stock - eBay rejected - he said he’d be going directly to the owners - he asked shareholders to grant him more share authorization to get the deal done - he said dilution is coming but it will be accretive - he issues shares by converting 1/3 of the bonds via private placement - he leaks a rumour that causes eBay to lose the bid premium and mentions vanguard as the largest eBay holder So what’s going on? It’s apparent. Cohen went to the institutions directly, told them the plan. He goes to the biggest eBay shareholder. Vanguard - who also owns substantial GME, flips. They enter the private placement and get shares at $18. Now an institution that also owns eBay got their stock of $GME already. 1/3 of the convertible overhang is gone. But why and what’s coming next? The only reason why he would issue shares this way is because like he said it’s the most accretive. But if this is the case, then it’s pointing to the setup of a proper cash offer. Why else would an institution want $GME at $18? Because they know when the the fully financed tender comes, they will have all the profit. And Larry Cheng tracking this exact metric right before the bid, after the bonds were setup proves that this was the purpose of Project Rocket the entire time.

  @dale_wen @jungpionier_ 2021 was the wettest summer in the last 20 years. Mike just told you, that nuclear power plants did not have an issue with low river water levels during the wettest summer in decades. No **** Sherlock, who could have guessed. Gratz to your PhD, did it come from ebay?

  Want 100k a year... doing nothing. Here is how This is the biggest side hustle I do. I was debating to post it or not, but what the hell. Every 3 months to a year a new vehicle is announced that will be hyper popular that they allow you to put a $100 deposit on. The Slate truck, the Scout Terra, Hummer ev, Cybertruck, Bronco, Ram TRX.. All are examples. I put $100 deposits on the vehicle the second it becomes available. Multiple vehicles if possible (I only got 1 bronco before they sold out, but got 5 Slate trucks, 3 TRX's, 4 cyberbeasts etc). When you get your confirmation emails that the vehicles are going to show, post that on ebay and sell them for $10,000, $20,000 or $30,000 over sticker. The fastest I ever sold one was the Bronco, I sold it before I got it and before I even paid for it. The longest was a Hummer EV took me a week to get rid of it. Some tips. 1. You must order them AS SOON AS they come out. Later doesn't work. People who are paying so much over sticker want them NOW. So only the first ones go so far over MSRP. If you wait, thousands of other people get them first. So put it on the calendar and get as many as possible as soon as possible. 2. ALWAYS get the highest trim. Every option possible. If there is a launch/foundation edition get that. You want exclusivity. The people paying over sticker are not paying over for the base model. 3. Color. Always get the best color. This is subjective, but most brands have a halo color. Get that. When unsure, its the wildest color usually. 4. List for sale as soon as you get the order confirmation. You post the build sheet, vin, confirmation order on ebay. This way people can buy it as soon as possible. 5. Register them in montana. You can use 3rd party companies to register an llc in montana, I use mttitles . com. This allows you to get super cheap registration (hundreds of dollars) but more importantly pay no sales tax. Many states are cracking down, but its a moot point because youre not driving it around, you just get the temp tag at the dealer and sell it before plates ever come. 6. Get refunds on losers. If your order is ready to come in and people are selling pre-orders on ebay for crazy money, or you can still easily reserve a new one for quick delivery, cancel it and get your $100 back (I did this on the ford lightning, what a ****). My current deposits are as follows 5 Slate Trucks 4 Scout Terras 4 Scout Traveller suvs 4 REO trucks

  @ClarkeSoph77782 @PlaystationSize @XxAntioFurxX Again monkey, did we say anything about modern gamers or are we clearly talking about the old gen, dork. Seems like I hit the nail on the head, you might actually be a monkey with that slow comprehension. The Xbox 360 store shut down and the PS3 store is mid-closure. How else would people get that $60 Black Ops 2 you’re talking about? Huh monkey? Tell me. It’s either from stores such as Gamestop or online… and eBay accounts for nearly 3 million video games sold online annually in the US alone. I hope this is not too much to read for your monkey brain.

  @picstoral @TonyClimate @eBay No they won’t. They did it to me for $280. They took the side of the seller AND they took down my (accurate) bad review.

  @BareLeft It's terrible & dated. Mad that they seem to pivoting to "Ebay Live Auctions" as if to replicate Chinese social media commerce model. When you look at the success of Vinted as a very simple, functional buy/sell app, Ebay looks archaic & jumbled

  @TonyClimate @eBay EBay is the pits, avoid at all costs unless they are long established stores/traders. EBay pretends to deal with issues, its judge and jury and offers no case arguments it’s a binary response from a limited character entry box. Left the platform years ago after bad experience

  @ThomBrady5 This is exactly what I mean by "vibes-based economics". You saw a headline and have repeated it endlessly without any attempt to understand the context. That restaurant was a failing "hole in the wall" business, run down and poor quality even by the low standards of the time, and apparently had several thousand dollars of outstanding debt as well. Total price including the assumed debt was about half of the national median family income at the time, and they got it on the cheap. It was an entrepreneurial risk, and most people in those situations don’t succeed. They did though, and managed to build it into a large franchise in a time when such things were just becoming widespread. The cost of a failing small business is always going to be much lower than a franchise, because the franchise has already done the economic heavy lifting and is providing a brand and blueprints and suppliers. Lower risk, lower margins, higher capital investment up front. Similar principle applies to the story about the $50 truck that you keep posting. The original poster said in following comments that it had some serious problems and needed work and parts, which obviously drags down market value significantly. It’s also worth pointing out that markets with high informational inertia (relying on ads in newspapers, word of mouth, or chance) tend to have larger price variance, especially for old or broken stuff. When you can’t just go on eBay or Facebook Marketplace and check used car prices within 100 miles, it’s easier to just let the neighbor kid have the old truck for the modern equivalent of a couple hundred bucks if he’s willing to wrench on it and replace parts. Highly depreciated vehicles that a young man can get for cheap and work on are still available, but the combination of mass immigration and “cash for clunkers” restricts supply. You need to stop cherry-picking anecdotes and pushing inflated victim narratives. It doesn’t do /our guys/ any good to become economically illiterate resentfuls, which just pushes them into an alliance with the Left.

  These aren’t accusations, just talking out loud about an “odd” feeling. I feel as a matter of opinion that PSA is going to be bankrupt and seized in the next several years and executives brought in on RICO charges. There is a direct circular link between the skyrocketing value of sports cards and PSA revenues. I’m not saying it’s happening, but essentially PSA can buy a PSA 9 or 10 card from itself on EBay for 5-10x the price the same card sold for from a respected (former) grader BGS and cite it as the worth of a card, then charge EVERY person that submits that card substantially more money (hundreds to thousands of dollars) to be graded. Well of course that would never work, because that would mean people could buy a $45,000 MJ Rookie card graded BGS gem mint and send it into PSA with $20,000+ to make it worth $350,000. A massive spiraling disconnect that screams RICO crime. Oh then PSA just bought BGS to help fix “that” problem. Major cracks are forming and reportedly “lost” value on PSA grading which is what has me thinking things are about to break fast. I’ve been unloading everything in the collection as cracks grow.

  @TonyClimate @eBay I sold a $25 item and they refused to pay because I hadn't given them my SS#. They said it was in their updated terms. They send messages for everything but the important stuff. It's been 2 years, they still have the $25, but I took all my listings down. Garbage site.

  @TonyClimate @eBay I've never had an issue getting a refund through @eBay I've doing business and buying items for decades through eBay. Their process can take sone time but follow through with their steps, report that you never received the item, and they will refund you.
