  @conquistadorof1 @brad_polumbo I apologize for stealing your car and breaking it down for parts. Now back to the eBay listings. Saying you, or your society, has done something wrong and not ACTING to fix it is useless grandstanding.

  Mid-way through last year, somebody won an auction for a stapler from $GME that was listed on eBay, and it made national news. There was a charity component to that auction and a further donation from the winner, that was super cool and made the whole thing super wholesome. I believe it was the first official listing from GameStop's then-new eBay account, which is cool to think about in retrospect. But then, that person and his team, almost immediately, started using this recognition and reach to promote something called GameStop on Ethereum, a shitcoin that has absolutely nothing to do with GameStop. A bunch of influencers from the community helped him, and he even had big names with 1M+ followers talking about how "cool" it was that this guy was buying up this shitcoin that is backed by absolutely nothing, because it had limited supply. A lot of poeple bought in, both to the shitcoin and the hype. They used GameStop's nationwide and social-wide recognition to promote their agenda of buying this shitcoin. I raised alarm bells and even messaged the person directly, as well as some of his friends and associates saying how wrong it was that they were using the GameStop cash tag to promote this crap without clarifying that it had nothing to do with GameStop and it was a really bad look, not just for the person doing this, but for GameStop as well to be associated with this shitcoin. That is already a wide-ranging problems on many crypto platforms, and actions like this from people that know better makes this problem worse. They even had a physical event that they claimed was GameStop sponsored at first, but then GameStop had them remove their logo and any mentions of official sponsorship from GameStop from their event page. Well, a picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe in this case a picture is worth millions of dollars. Not cool. I have all of that person and his teams shenanigans blocked, but please beware of crypto scams associating themselves with GameStop. One thing I hope that comes from the Clarity act is more enforcement, and some harsh criminal repercussions for defrauding the general public. If they make an example of a few, everyone else will fall in line and take their scams elsewhere. This is not the first time and it won't be the last. The plan is always to grab attention, then extract or divert capital. Be careful out there folks.

  @eBay is there a current issue with sending offers to buyers? I keep trying to send an offer and I keep getting an error message to try again later

  @sneedweb eBay has been money laundering for years. Not to mention child trafficking. They’ve got way bigger problems.

  @joshuas430 @BosCardHunter I haven’t ever sold anything through eBay so I wouldn’t be knowledgeable enough to speak on it, on the buying end, I’ve been told about undisclosed flaws or problems which I don’t mind because I typically buy rare and unique items so I won’t find another. But it’s nice to know

  @lilywhite7758 Two, actually. Elvis. The Beatles. Diff dates but same building. In Memphis. Reserved seating tickets were $6. Twenty years ago, I managed to sell the ticket stubs on eBay for about $200 each. Mid-South Coliseum was torn down years ago. 😐

  @PhantomBlack699 I just read a huge FB thread on the eBay thrifters board that was just sellers complaining about declining sales and their stuff not being seen. As a seller, I agree. Time for Ryan to step in and fix this broken site.

  If you think about it all you're really doing is paying an absurd premium to have a shot at slightly more upside on a stock that trends down almost always and will occasionally move higher in large bursts, but you will be doing so in a pool of bots and degens who will sell into thin liquidity on every price spike. Seems better to buy shares or options. The price of GME is unlikely to stay at 60 dollars once the market opens, if it does the stock could go crazy bc (depending on the options chain) you'll get a gamma pump and at the same time suddenly GameStop buying eBay looks extremely attractive to eBay shareholders. It's not likely to happen though bc degens are trading on thin liquidity. So people are most likely going to get rekt and robinhood is going to make a mint. This would have been more interesting if it was launched during market hours, but it will still be interesting to see how the stock responds (if at all) when it does open, bc that'll show how the underlying is being impacted by these tokenised stocks.

  @Ob1JohnKenob1 @eBay That’s a bummer. I’m really trying to buy local as much as possible so I can hold before I buy. Problem is there’s so much out there I can’t get from my LCS.

  [WHY I MADE A TRADING CARD APP AT 16 Y/O + What the app is] About a year ago, my best friend and I got back into Pokémon cards because of the new hype cycle around modern cards. After entering a completely different field of Pokémon from when we were kids, we realized everything wrong with card shows, eBay, scalping, and the limitations of the hobby. Originally, we wanted to create a marketplace with 0% fees, however, we soon realized that buying and selling wasn't the problem. The problem was trading: 1. eBay and card shows take huge chunks of value when you try sell cards 2. The reason people sell their cards is just to buy more cards (an infinite cycle of fees that decrease the value of your collection) 3. If you want to trade (at a card show or a shop), your cards will only be valued at around 70-80% 4. There's no way to trade online 5. There's no safe or pure way to find other collectors for trading (only options are social media or Facebook Marketplace) So, we made Utopia (naming it after the "perfect destination" for collectors), where collectors can find other collectors in their area that have the cards they want for 0% fees.

  @stephenhdg @eBay Drop shipping is the issue, the sellers never have the stock

  Nobody made money owning the internet, everybody made money building on top of it (Save this). That's @friedberg argument because Netscape built the first browser and server software, charged for both, went public, then got wiped out once open source alternatives showed up. Mozilla built Firefox for free, Google built Chrome for free, Apache gave away server software so anyone could get online without paying a toll. The value didn't vanish, it just moved off the gatekeepers and onto everyone building on top, Google, eBay, Etsy, Amazon, and millions of small businesses that never could have existed otherwise. Friedberg's claim is that AI is following the same script. If open models keep closing the gap with proprietary ones, value stops concentrating in two or three labs and spreads across every company building on top of it and the data backs this up. Stanford's 2026 AI Index found the gap between the best closed model and the best open model has shrunk to about 3.3%, down from double digits two years ago. Chinese open models now account for 41% of downloads on Hugging Face over the past year and more than 30% of Fortune 500 companies have verified accounts pulling models straight from that ecosystem. Enterprise sentiment backs it too, 41% of organizations say they'd drop proprietary models entirely once open ones hit parity, and another 41% are expanding open source usage regardless. The market already got a preview of this snapping into place. DeepSeek's open weight model release in January 2025 wiped close to $600 billion off Nvidia's market cap in a single day. That's what Chamath means by value capture evaporating in months, not decades. A sector with what looked like permanent pricing power turned out to have a shelf life measured in product cycles. Where this gets uncomfortable is capex and if enterprises can get most of what they need from a free open model on their own hardware, the case for endlessly compounding training spend weakens. Analysts have flagged this as a risk that isn't priced into current capex forecasts, precisely because open models keep closing the gap faster than commercial labs are widening it.
