#ebay: 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.
If an #ebay 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.
#Fake operational transconductance amplifiers I bought on #EBay over 6 years ago. Date code doesn't make sense given that Intersil discontinued the #CA3080 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. #electronics#opamp
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 #eBay#Kleinanzeigen 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.. ^^)
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.
Note to self.
When listing stuff for sale on #eBay I must remember they will take 14%. They'll also take 14% on the postage.
...and they'll pay no tax to the Australian Government #corporategreed#monopoly
If anyone is looking and in the UK, someone on #ebay is selling #HP#T730 thin client computers for a decent price. Need storage. I've bought a couple and I'm planning to turn one into an #opnsense router. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196104490290
This news is from almost exactly 8 years ago. Softpedia reported 13 days later that eBay partially patched it, but the patch was insufficient. I could not find further updates, but I do know that eBay has since removed more advanced JavaScript (incl. JSFuck) from all listings in 2017....
Like many of you, I deleted my #twitter account because I couldn't tolerate the hateful policies the company was embracing.
Now I'm going further, cutting off other companies and platforms for similar reasons.
First up is #facebook. I've had a largely dormant account to keep a contact channel open with those who keep using it. It's not worth it any more. If there's anything which requires a facebook account, I'll just do without.
I've never had a #Spotify or #Uber account. I have no #Apple or #Microsoft products. My phone is completely de-googled.
I was motivated on this occasion by the words of Adrienne LaFrance in the Atlantic article I boosted yesterday, "The Despots of Silicon Valley". She wrote:
"Our children are not data sets waiting to be quantified, tracked, and sold. Our intellectual output is not a mere training manual for the AI that will be used to mimic and plagiarize us. Our lives are meant not to be optimized through a screen, but to be lived—in all of our messy, tree-climbing, night-swimming, adventuresome glory. We are all better versions of ourselves when we are not tweeting or clicking “Like” or scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.
"Technocrats are right that technology is a key to making the world better. But first we must describe the world as we wish it to be—the problems we wish to solve in the public interest, and in accordance with the values and rights that advance human dignity, equality, freedom, privacy, health, and happiness. And we must insist that the leaders of institutions that represent us—large and small—use technology in ways that reflect what is good for individuals and society, and not just what enriches technocrats.
"We do not have to live in the world the new technocrats are designing for us. We do not have to acquiesce to their growing project of dehumanization and data mining. Each of us has agency.
"No more “build it because we can.” No more algorithmic feedbags. No more infrastructure designed to make the people less powerful and the powerful more controlling. Every day we vote with our attention; it is precious, and desperately wanted by those who will use it against us for their own profit and political goals. Don’t let them."
Dear #Linux, If I'm installing a Linux distro on a laptop for the purpose of selling it on #ebay which Linux distro do you think would have the most interest? #Ubuntu because it's common? Mint? Or is the typical Linux buyer more likely to wipe and re-install anyway for good measure?
I checked a few recent Linux laptop sales, and they mostly had Linux Mint Cinnamon, sold by #FreeGeek Maybe I should follow their lead here.
Whenever I buy a generic product on Amazon or #eBay, I check both sites to make sure I'm not buying from a drop shipper who's merely listing someone else's item at a marked up price and ordering it for you.
I'd do anything I can to avoid supporting a drop shipper, but I finally ran into one situation where it worked out well for both of us. I wanted a specific power adapter. It was listed for $2 more on eBay than it was on Amazon, but I didn't want to pay for shipping so I bought it from eBay from an eBay store that was relatively near me. I was hoping to get it within a few days.
Well, I got it the next day and it came via an Amazon delivery.
I just paid someone $2 for the privilege of using their #Amazon Prime membership to get an item I wanted delivered sooner.
UPDATE: It turns out I paid a $5 premium. My item was listed at different prices. I didn't see the cheaper one.
TIL JSFuck, an esoteric subset of JS that only uses operators, could be used to hack eBay customers by injecting it into item listings. As JSFuck obfuscated the actual code, attackers were able to get browsers that see the listing to run external scripts. (arstechnica.com)
