    @JunkWaxJblack @CardPurchaser Happened a couple times to me, eBay covers the cost of the item if less than $20. just don’t refund the buyer right away.. eBay will issue the refund then you can request payment via the insurance they offer

    @alt_w_v_g You know what ebay needs? "eBay local". Put up a fight against Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. FB marketplace is trash, and clist died when they started to charge for posting. Pls fix. Thx.

    @iky_fwjett That's not a flip, that's theft. Wild that eBay makes it so easy for anyone to list anything without confirming ownership. The $25 find was solid though — $600-700 to the right buyer is real. Just wild it went down like this.

    Triangulation Fraud vs "Dropshipping" It's not uncommon for $EBAY buyers to receive orders "dropshipped" from Amazon, Walmart etc. There are many variations on the fraud, but generally: If it uses stolen credit card = crime No stolen cc = just terrible eBay buyer experience.

    @ryancohen I just read that post and it resonated with me. I used to sell on eBay in the early 2000’s. I’ve completely stopped. I just logged in to my old account which is still active. The fact that I used to use it a ton, I even had an ebay store, and have not logged in for a decade is indicative of a problem with eBay. By the way I know it’s somewhat unrelated, but PayPal has brutal customer service. I just wasted an hour on the phone with them this evening.

  • commodoreihs
    Commodore International Historical Society (@commodoreihs) reported

    I snagged this Commodore 620 off eBay recently because it was an interesting piece. First, I have to thank my friend Steve Gray for providing background information to me on CBM-II model numbers, because I manage to screw them up every time. The Commodore 620 was the European market version of the North American B256. It's the low profile CBM-II model with 256K RAM. This one, despite being the European model 620, seems to have been modified for the North American market, as the PSU was converted to 117VAC. You can see on the serial sticker that there's a 117V sticker on top of the original serial sticker. Given that it's the same color and style, I'm guessing Commodore modified this, not a consumer. It's serial 00031, which is a low serial, but the chip date codes range from 2182 to 2983 (May 1982 - July 1983). It's in generally working condition, and it boots to the native boot screen saying, "commodore basic 256, v4.2". I have a line on a replacement keyboard, so the missing keys won't be a problem.

    @AMCbiggums Meanwhile #GME is long EBAY and making money on that. Could be a massive squeeze in GME if this ends up not working out!

    @unusual_whales @SwamiKnows_ Lets be honest here, ebay hasnt advanced to the new digital age, they are stuck in 1990’s. Spending billions of $ and gaining only 1m new customers is terrible, doing stock buybacks with profits from raising sellers (customers) fees is a losing battle. Sellera will leave.

    🚨GAMESTOP JUST TRIED TO BUY EBAY FOR $56 BILLION🚨 Ryan Cohen walks in with a $125/share cash+stock offer, says he'll fix their bloated mess using our 1,600 stores for real-world fulfillment... and eBay's board cries "not credible" like scared little kids. This is the SAME Ryan Cohen who turned a "dying" GameStop into a $10B+ beast with a war chest of cash while shorts have been bleeding since 2021. They laughed at us then. They're sweating now. Apes aren't selling. Diamond hands only. The real squeeze is just getting started. $GME #GameStop #RyanCohen #ApesTogetherStrong

    The unspoken 11 step pipeline of a "quick" Home Lab media server upgrade: 1. Notice a 3 second buffer on a local 4K stream. 2. Blame the OS. Decide to migrate to a bare metal Proxmox VE cluster. 3. Buy three refurbished Dell PowerEdge servers off eBay at 2 AM. 4. Hire an electrician to install a dedicated 30 amp circuit in the utility closet. 5. Spend an entire weekend configuring a Ceph storage pool for high availability. 6. Containerize the media stack using custom Kubernetes Helm charts. 7. Deploy Traefik reverse proxy with Wildcard Let's Encrypt via Cloudflare DNS challenge. 8. Spin up Prometheus and Grafana to monitor individual P core temps. 9. Route cluster failure alerts directly to your personal PagerDuty app. 10. Complete the migration after spending $2,800 and burning two weeks of PTO. 11. Watch your partner stream exactly one compressed 720p episode of Friends before falling asleep 6 minutes in.

    $GME My 2 cents about GME buying eBay. 50% cash 50% stock. If GME market cap $10B and Ebay's $40B, so it's 20/80 split, but as GME pays out 50% cash it bring us to 80/2 = 40%, so in the end 60/40. 60% GME shareholders and 40% eBay's in the new company. The stock portion is $27.75B (half of the $125 offer). Case 1 (basic): GME has 450000000 shares outstanding. To keep the 60/40 split GME need to issue 300000000 new shares to the eBay shareholders. $27.75B / 300000000 = $92.50 implied issuance price. Total after deal = 750000000 shares. This gives the NEW company $69.375B market cap and share price after deal = $92.50. Case 2 (diluted): Including the 144000000 Senior Convertible Notes + 59000000 Warrants = 651000000 total GME fully diluted shares. To keep the same 60/40 split GME needs to issue 434000000 new shares to eBay's people. $27.75B / 434000000 = ~$63.94 implied issuance price. Total after = 1085000000 shares. This gives the NEW company $69.375B market cap and share price = ~$63.94.

    @ryancohen Yeah and you're too much of a ***** to issue a blockchain dividend for $GME . Sounds like you're even more of a "hollow man" than the eBay **** heads are.
