  Cardboard Connection (@sportscards) reported 4 minutes ago

  So my company is made over 100 million in sales In the past decade for eBay Using the eBay Partnership Network their affiliate marketing program. I would think that nine figures would buy at least a little feedback maybe a phone call notes an explanation maybe even some perks considering the magnitude... Instead my commissions were cut by over 2/3, everything is limited I was never entered into any programs and literally am losing my company without an explanation and Trying to save my business, the most recent compliance request came in about the entirety of my Facebook and X accounts. Keep in mind both of these accounts have roughly 70,000 followers between the two and I've never had an issue in a decade with these accounts except for the occasional request for an appliance update and I was trying links for one of their new programs. There's no way to call anyone there there's no way to get an explanation and now I've had to let go all of my employees just to keep the company alive until yesterday... Went from 4M organic users visiting my site, to this. Coincidently, 2 days after I asked for an explanation why my commission were basically eradicated. Play something along these two social media platforms that I haven't touched in a month since the last compliance Only reason enough to shut me down after 16 years with ebay. IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THIS??? They told me i was being used as a test pilot which is why my rates were below the GLOBAL STANDARD RATE CARD. And to wrap it up stay informed me of my suspension after over a decade of business by writing an email to me with the wrong name. I don't know who Ryan is... HELP

  @lachlanscards @eBay @PSAcard Tried to but they just closed the case. Really seems like they’re covering themselves since it was clearly an authentication process issue. If they approved it near mint, why are the two corners bad, the surface marks on the back so severe, and the scratch on the front there?

  @SecretService They robbed me by blackmailing because of 2 stolen phones we purchased from eBay without our knowledge And blackmailed me that if I don’t give the money on my bank account , they will shut down our business , and Scott Windish opened my car glove box and took 3k cash and took my phone on the way to Wells Fargo and we waited at the Wells Fargo teller line 10 min and teller wrote a 39.000 dollars cashiers check under SECRET SERVICE and after they took me to STARBUCKS and made me sign paperworks…

  @SkyBrockmoller eBay will deduct 13.25% from that $400. If you want to do a direct deal, I suggest offering a more attractive price, especially since there is no guarantee that you will ship the product, verify its authenticity, or issue a refund if something goes wrong Good luck with the sale

  @sneedweb Nothing moves GME. Beat earning...down, bid for Ebay, down. Get out of Ebay bid, down. BTC goes down, GME down. BTC up, GME down. This is normal. Just wait, soon wall street can't suppress the price anymore.

  FREEDOM ISNT CHEAP (@granviledufleur) reported 16 minutes ago

  @PWestoff The issue of fly tipping has been directly caused by EU environmental landfill taxation that the UK has decided to continue to keep. This has meant council tips that just used to accept they were a rubbish tip, offering an essential service to keep their area clean, started to become draconian in their acceptance and sorting of rubbish. Now you have to prove you are a council tax payer, and have strict weight limits you can dump per year, and in worst councils tips you are being charged £5 per item, regardless if it’s the first thing you have ever dumped. Let’s not forget due to us now having to sort the rubbish, the council sells certain rubbish by the ton, for a new source of income that they used to just bury in the ground. My tip now has signs everywhere saying any item that touches the floor instantly belongs to the council and other tippers are not allowed to take it home, as it is theft🤷. There are surveillance cameras everywhere enforcing this. The reason being good items are sorted through and sold on eBay by the tips staff. What did they expect would happen to people’s rubbish, if councils have to pay huge taxes to dispose of rubbish in landfill and citizens can’t dispose of it at their council tips? Let’s also not forget the ridiculous landfill tax has resulted in lots of rubbish including toxic plastics being incinerated by citizens but also large private owned incinerators (mostly American owned) on extortionate contracts that means if rubbish runs out we still have to pay the incinerators to do nothing!!

  @_bismack_ Going through all that trouble to save some money on Pokémon cards is so bizarre. If these people expended half this much energy at their day jobs they'd be millionaires lol. I get this a lot on fb marketplace but somehow have avoided it on ebay.

  @scdanis It’s symbolic. We allowed this, wr have to fix it. When he’s dead it’s to take out the trash. Gramma will be watching eBay like a hawk.

  @angelojello74 It can suck. What is hard to do is what you need to do and that is find a way to get ahead. Not just tread water, but get ahead and work you way to floating. Often that means doing a side hustle, so you can divert 20% of your primary income to investments. Something like an ETF that can reinvest dividend income every single month. The challenge is just finding what works for you. Arbitrage of one kind or another is often the low hanging fruit. Find a service or product that is in demand and be the middleman that gets communicates with the party to get the work done, while you make the customer happy with good follow up and communication with them. Think of it like a general contractor but for smaller tasks. Another thing you can learn and do is use an app to scan products first at your local stores in the discount section. You scan them to see what they are really selling for on Amazon or eBay. Looking for item that always sell and give you a good margin. There are great YouTube channels and videos on this. This turns a few hours on the weekend and say $100 to start into 30-50% profit margins. Not perfect but it requires almost no skill because the app does the calculations and the math or profit after fees, shipping and expenses. Hardest thing for you is to ship right away until you get the feel of the flow and can afford to ship items to amazon for shipping from their warehouse. Smaller margins at first as you get your first sales, feedback and reviews. But it scales fast as hell. You can even put items on a credit card if you must to get going just make sure you can use the app to pick a winner, create a basic listing (the bar code can help you do that). Other than 2 hours a week of effort and learning to pick winners with the app there is not much of a learning curve. There are tons of things like that. Instead of the discount isle you can go to yard sales with an app take photos and the app can help you search eBay for collectable prices. Here the margins are much larger but it takes more knowledge and skill. Watch @garyvee on his YouTube content for this game. Great videos, and he really breaks things down. For investments do not mess with individual stocks for the first few years. Just lift yourself out of the water. You can do this, just baby step what you try at first, stick you toe in the water. If you need video recommendations or more ideas just tag me and what I see it I will respond. I know it does not feel like it but it is almost too easy to make extra money now. You got this!

  My Card Inventory (@mycardinv3ntory) reported 19 minutes ago

  I’ve made it a rule to: 1) Post a card to eBay every day 2) Post a reel / photo to Instagram every day 3) Post a Tweet every day 4) Make at least 3 product improvements to My Card Inventory every day It’s not easy, but since I’ve made it a rule I’ve not broken it

  @SECGov The operations take place all over los angeles. If a chair costs $45 USD to manufacture and it get posted and sold on eBay for $15,000 USD, it's likely part of a money laundering operation. The Beverly Hills Cop Crews Should Have Already Started Tracking These Guys Down.

  In 1954 Mickey Mantle was the best baseball player in America. In 1994 he was a raging alcoholic with a failing liver. He jumped the transplant queue, got a new liver, kept drinking, and died anyway. The liver went to someone who could pay. Not to someone who needed it most. That is not a legal question. It is not a moral question. It is a microeconomics question - and there is a Harvard lecture that builds the framework to answer it from scratch. His name is Jonathan Gruber. MIT, 14.01, Principles of Microeconomics. He advised the Massachusetts health reform that became the model for the Affordable Care Act. He has taught this course at MIT for over two decades. This is lecture 1. One claim: every decision you have ever made is a constrained optimization problem. You just did not know it had a name. At 08:17 he uses the iPod to show how three questions get answered simultaneously by one mechanism. What gets produced. How it gets produced. Who gets it. The answer to all three is the same variable: price. One number coordinates millions of strangers without any of them knowing the others exist. At 19:13 he gives Adam Smith's paradox. Water is necessary for life. Diamonds are not. Water is nearly free. Diamonds cost a fortune. Smith had the question in 1776. The answer requires both sides of one equation - and the side he was missing is what this course is built on. At 21:15 he puts the kidney auction on eBay to the room. Starting price $25,000. Bidding reached $5 million before eBay shut it down. He asks whether eBay was wrong. The students argue. He does not resolve it. He says that question will take the rest of the semester to answer properly. A consultant I know says this is the lecture that made her realize she had been solving optimization problems her whole life without the vocabulary to describe them. Says she started seeing supply and demand curves in arguments she had been losing for years. Free on MIT OpenCourseWare, all 33 lectures. The kidney question from lecture 1 does not get a clean answer until week twelve. Most people who have opinions about ***** markets have never watched the part where the model is actually built.
