Wtf's going on over at #ebay? Support is useless, they seem to no longer care if sellers fuck over buyers, and negative feedback is disappearing..

The funny part with this is that they probably paid more for them than the British Museum did.

: Ich habe die Rückgabe für einen Kauf gestartet und 12,99€ für ein Versandetikett bezahlt. Ich finde das aber nirgends.

Ich habe eine Nachricht in meinem Postfach mit dem Button "Versandetikett drucken". Wenn ich darauf klicke, steht da die Paketnummer und dass ich das bis 10.6. verschicken soll. An der Seite stehen noch Einzelheiten zu der Rückgabe.
Aber nirgendwo ist das Etikett.

Ich habe den Eindruck, da wird si etwas wie ein iframe nicht geladen.

Was kann ich tun? 😟

Japan's Rakuten Group is partnering with eBay to test U.S. demand for used Japanese fashion goods, made all the cheaper with the yen trading near a 34-year low. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/24/companies/rakuten-used-fashion-goods/ #business #companies #rakuten #ebay #fashion #ecommerce #us

Sometimes I watch eBay reseller videos on YouTube and think what that life is like and then I come to my senses and realize that domain name investing is so much better and I already know how to do it well!

If an seller can't figure out how to use completed/sold auctions to set the price, and rejects offers based on that real-world price, just use the rest of your chances to send them $1 offers.

You were never going to get that item anyway, so might as well have fun with it.

Hate to say it, but online shopping beats brick and mortar simply because it’s easier to get what you want.

I went to a Sport Check just now, they don’t sell laceless running shoes.

I went to Best Buy just now, they don’t sell 60” inch TV—never mind a dumb (not smart) TV.

Once again, I go with Amazon simply because it has what I’m looking for.

I do the same, however, #Amazon is going down the drain, too being "enshittified" with low-value Chinese products, in contrast to #Temu at rather Western price tags.
What is still useful are the user evaluations.
After reading them, I use #eBay and price-search engines to find these products at about the same or even a lesser price.
The only real exception being when I do need something "tomorrow."
Also, some chain-stores will offer the same price as Amazon, etc.

In a fit of nostalgia, I bought an old m105 from . I blame @neil — his stories of buying old hardware obviously inspired me.

Now to see what I can do with it, and if I can get it to sync with my 24.04 laptop.

Wow. And #Ebay is not refunding this (or rather, the seller is not refunding and ebay is sticking by the seller). The seller provided "proof of delivery", which is that tracking information.

I buy tons of stuff through ebay, under the assumption that when shit like this happens, I get my money back. I guess if that's no longer true, I'm no longer an ebay customer.

operational transconductance amplifiers I bought on over 6 years ago. Date code doesn't make sense given that Intersil discontinued the over a decade ago. The real chip should have a diode across pins 4 and 5. Only one chip seems to have it -- but it is reversed. The rest have resistors between pins 1 and 4, and between 4 and 5, consistent with an op amp that provides offset null pins. Pin 8 also seems to be connected. Both 1 and 8 should be NC.

Google's passkeys, introduced in 2022, have become a popular and secure alternative to traditional passwords, being used over 1 billion times across 400 million-plus Google accounts. These passkeys, which rely on fingerprints, face scans, or PINs for authentication, are faster and more resistant to phishing than passwords. Google plans to integrate passkeys into its Advanced Protection Program, enhancing security for high-risk users. Additionally, third-party password managers like Dashlane and 1Password can now support passkeys, further expanding their use. The technology is supported by major companies like eBay, Uber, PayPal, and Amazon, indicating a shift towards passkey-based authentication as a more secure and efficient method.

Bei neu anmelden, E-Mail Verifizierungslink bestätigen, auf Aufforderung auch noch die Telefonnummer für weitere Verifizierung eingeben und nach dieser 2. Verifizierung einloggen, um dann die Meldung zu bekommen: "Ihr Account wurde wegen verdächtiger Aktivitäten gesperrt." WTF?!

Ich hatte mal vor Ewigkeiten einen Account bei denen, ich meine ihn nicht mal genutzt zu haben. Der Login war irgendwann mal zur Löschung markiert worden (ich meine: Auch nicht von mir, vermutlich Passivität). Ist es dann schon verdächtig, wenn man einen anderen anlegt?

Viele Services scheinen echt persönlich zu werden, wenn man längeres Desinteresse zeigt. Hatte ich bei Facebook auch schon. Wollte den Account nach jahrelanger Nichtnutzung löschen, aber um mich überhaupt wieder einloggen zu dürfen, brauchte es alle möglichen Dokumente und Formulare (sogar "Freunde" bei Facebook, die für mich bürgen, dass ich es bin.. ^^)

Nervt.

I was listing something on eBay, and they encourage starting with an existing listing—presumably to increase the amount of detail and decrease the amount of work.

When I selected the same model, I got a default description that was extremely robotic and wordy while just repeating the spec sheet. I thought it sounded LLM-generated; sure enough when I went to edit it, there is a big shiny “write with AI” button.

🤢

This is not actually helping anyone.

It makes EVERY listing sound identical, lifeless, and lacking critical context like the SPECIFIC condition of the item, why it’s being sold, etc. You get an online marketplace with descriptions masquerading as human-authored all sporting the same useless regurgitation of the structured spec sheet, in a less digestible format.

Companies, don’t do this.

I don’t actually mind some of the “summarize/distill customer reviews” type generative AI stuff!

But this is worse as it mixes machine-written nonsense with the corpus of human-written text. And from poking at a few other listings, everyone is just using this feature and its output as-is without actually adding anything. It’s not being used to improve the experience, it’s being used to replace the one critical human part of the experience.

I hate this.
