Caveat emptor, international eBay #auction users, #fountainpen or other. #eBay now forces agreement to automatic payment method before you can bid on auctions, whether a CC or PayPal.
Last night I won two auctions from the same guy, when I went to the cart to consolidate the shipment I found I was already charged for two separate shipments before I had a say on the matter.
The seller could refund my $5 for his shipment inside the US but for a rebate on the US>Israel leg I am out $20.
Happy #FishFriday !

On September 3, 1995, eBay, originally known as "AuctionWeb," took its first steps into the world.
The tale begins with an unconventional first sale - a broken laser pointer. It wasn't meant to be sold but was a test for the platform. To Omidyar's (The CEO) surprise, it fetched $14.83. He contacted the buyer to clarify that it was indeed broken. The response? "I'm a collector of broken laser pointers."
What’s the best way to go about #bidding on #eBay? There’s an item I really want and it’s hard to come by in great condition so don’t want to miss out. Place bid now or closer to when the listing ends, so confusing. 🤔
Ebay übertrifft Erwartungen mit mehr Umsatz bei leicht sinkendem Warenumschlag
Die Handelsplattform macht wieder Gewinn, obwohl das Handelsvolumen nachgibt. KI kann beim Einstellen der Angebote unterstützen. Anleger bleiben vorsichtig.
Apparently there's a a cross-over between Magento and Twitter.
In 2011, when eBay acquired Magento (an open source e-commerce CMS), it was intended to become part of eBay's "X Commerce Group" at www.x.com. No doubt a domain eBay had inherited from the time where Musk was involved.
Today, that domain of course redirects to Twitter.com.
Any #Beatles fans? From my father-in-law's collection, just listed a very rare reel-to-reel album of "Yellow Submarine" on #ebay. Take a look & place a bid!
This week i was looking to complete one of the master system games in my games collection. while I couldn't find a copy of this game with just the cart and box, I found a partially intact sealed copy of Missle Defense 3-D
Normally I wouldn't go for anything like this since I already had a manual, but I couldn't resist when I saw all the Montgomery Wards pricing stickers on it!
With the first sticker date of (July 2?) 1988 and the last sticker date of September 1996, this unopened game likely sat on store shelves for around 9 years before it finally sold.
Now I just gotta get a case I can put this in to preserve it. I will not be having this graded because FUCK WATA
