  @eBay @depop because I’m not logged in. I just keep getting a message telling me to call a US number to confirm my identity. The problem is that I live in Poland and I can’t see myself making a call for something like this. How else can I verify my identity/device so that I can log in?

  @aakashgupta @barnes_law but it's worse than the Hogan case (who was both in trouble AND eligible for some forgiveness because of layers of deception around the cookie stuffing... his actions and the documented condoning of them by eBay supervisors). This Gates spawn may have used the deceit to mislead investors(!) which is much worse

  @giblets_n_beer @TonyClimate @eBay I’ve been buying from eBay for 15 years and not one issue. Buy from a seller with 4 or more star reviews and a minimum of 25 reviews.

  Starting August 17th, eBay is rolling out extended bidding in Australia, and it’s coming to the U.S. I’ll tell you why I think it’s amazing. So, if you don’t know what extended bidding is, it’s pretty simple. If a bid is registered in the last 60 seconds of an auction, it gets extended another 60 seconds, again and again and again, until nobody bids in the final 60 seconds and the auction is finalized. I’m gonna put my business-owner cap on here for a second and explain something to you. Take a site like Goldin Auctions that does hundreds of millions of dollars in sales every single year. The more cards sell for, the more they make because they take a 22% buyer’s premium on top of what the card sells for. Ken Goldin is a smart businessman, whether you like him or not, and this brother has split-tested every single different type of way to get people to pay more money. Different colors, logos, different ways to bid on auctions, etc. And the reason he has extended bidding the way he does on Goldin Auctions is because he has decided, not by guessing, but with numbers, that it is the best way to consistently get people to pay the most money for cards. And you might think to yourself, “This is bad because this means cards are going to sell for more money.” That’s actually a good thing. Because the more money that’s spent on cards, the more money is being circulated. And if you think of cards like an economy, the more money being circulated over and over, the stronger the economy is. And that’s why you see sports cards today going so crazy. Money is flowing so easily back and forth, and money is exchanging hands so often. So overall, for sports cards, this is a great thing. Maybe not on the individual card. Maybe you’ll have to pay a little more if you’re someone collecting Cade Cunningham and there’s a random auction ending for one of his cards. But overall, for the hobby, this is an amazing thing. Let me know your take down below.

  @TonyClimate @eBay Recently I sold a tablet on @ebay and was assessed extra charges erroneously. With great time and effort I was able to speak with a person. The person did not initially understand the problem. As I tried to calmly explain the problem, without cursing or even raising my voice, the person claimed my tone was inappropriate and immediately disconnected. Apparently, Ebay service standards allow and tolerate this. Ebay does not give a damn about their customers and I will never buy or sell with them again.

  @Frogboyx1Gaming Costco has a CyberPowerPC at $999 after a $500 instant rebate. Core Ultra 5 225F, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe, RTX 5060. Rebate expires 08/23/26. The sign lists a lot. It does not list the one number that decides whether this machine is useful to you. It names the GPU model, not its VRAM. That omission is not sneaky, just uninformative, because the plain RTX 5060 ships in exactly one config: 8GB GDDR7, 128-bit bus, 448 GB/s. There is no 12GB or 16GB version to distinguish it from. The 5060 Ti is the card with two flavors. People conflate them constantly. For 1080p gaming, 8GB is fine. For running models locally, 8GB is the entire conversation. What actually fits: 7B to 8B at Q4, roughly 4.5 to 5 GB, sits on the GPU with context to spare 12B to 14B at Q4, roughly 8 to 9 GB, already spilling into system RAM 20B and up, CPU offload, which means slow enough that you stop using it The 32GB of DDR5 does not rescue this. System RAM is the consolation prize, not the pool. Now the comparison most posts skip. A used RTX 3090 runs $850 to $1,100, typically landing near $1,000. That is 24GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus at about 936 GB/s. Token generation is memory bandwidth bound, so you are not only getting 3x the capacity, you are getting roughly 2x the throughput on top of it. But read the units carefully. $999 buys 8GB inside a complete working system. $1,000 buys 24GB and nothing else. That "nothing else" is doing real work. Add a board, CPU, RAM, case, and an 850W supply to feed a 350W card wanting dual 8-pin, and you land at $1,600 to $1,800. The prebuilt's stock PSU almost certainly cannot take a 3090 later either, so treating the Costco box as an upgrade path is wishful. The filter step. Neither option is wrong. They answer different questions. If you want a working machine today and your models are 8B and under, $999 complete is a genuinely strong number. If the goal is 30B class models, you are not buying a computer, you are buying VRAM. And $999 buys 8GB of it welded into a chassis you cannot meaningfully upgrade. Intuition says that's a deal. Logic asks a deal on what, specifically. The spec that constrains your actual use case is the only one worth pricing. One caveat before anyone runs to eBay: most used 3090s mined through 2021 and 2022, and the GDDR6X on the backside runs hot enough to cook its thermal pads. Ask whether they were replaced.

  @willyiamm I have the opposite problem with my lab though because it's made of whatever junk I could make or find on eBay and looks ghetto enough I have to hide it so people don't think I'm making ****

  ebay has gone WAY down hill in recent years... sadly, this sort of thing happens OFTEN. I've been looking for ebay alternatives for a while now... Hope you're able to get resolution.

  @TonyClimate @eBay Had same problem. My item didn’t show up. I used PayPal for the purchase and they did all the heavy lifting once I knew it was a scam. They contacted the seller and got no response. Couple weeks later I had my funds back in my account.

  @TonyClimate @eBay The customer/seller support from eBay is terrible considering the fees they charge sellers. Almost makes dealing with the Facebook marketplace lowballers tolerable.

  Looks like the market is trying to avg Ryan down on his EBAY bet, no way he ain't buying a bigger piece right now, probably doubling those options right now.

  @TonyClimate @eBay This whole issue is a big fat nothingburger. Talking to someone wouldn’t change the outcome or speed it up in any meaningful way. For a closed-account non-delivery case, I'd much rather have automated processes in place that resolve the issue in a matter of days than have to talk to some call center drone reading from a script. I mean, seriously, what are you whining about getting 'straightened out'? You go into your purchase history, wait until the estimated delivery date has passed, open an “Item not received” request, and the system handles the rest. Because the seller’s account is already closed or restricted, they can’t respond, the case times out in the buyer’s favor, and eBay issues the refund. No phone call, no chat agent, no special escalation is required. That’s how the Money Back Guarantee is built to scale. What am I missing?

  @RickShielsPGA This is a problem when they’re passed off as genuine online. I got stung for fake P770s off EBay and have been fighting @PayPal for 4 months to get refunded. They’re very convincing fakes, just a few mil out here and there. #🐹
