@sunny051488 I think it's targeted, but if you had the link it worked. I did it back in January so sorry, I don't remember exactly. But I seem to recall whatever I Googled, maybe on Reddit, someone had a link to the better offer. Also possible the 24 months is dead now, I'm not sure.

@BigDSlangin Are they hiding the 24mo link or something??

Last month i moved $17k into Fidelity to put it into STRC and now i got this from them finally. If you move assets into their platform, i think they start sending you this offer. Do with this info what you will. The spending will continue until they stop printing money out of thin air.

@TheOne_2014 @StubHub @ScottFriedman3 I will get paid one way or another. I've taken them to arbitration before, and at this point, I've just accepted it's going to be a yearly occurrence where I bundle up all my broken sales and take it to the AAA.

@BigDSlangin @StubHub @ScottFriedman3 But them not giving me the information up front meant that I ate a few thousand $$$ that they wouldn't pay out since there weren't any sales and FedEx refused to cover that loss too.

New @StubHub scam @ScottFriedman3. Just got charged $5200 because "you missed the deadline to deliver the tickets." Tickets were shipped well in advance of event and FedEx has been trying to deliver the tickets for over a week with no one available to sign for it.

@BlueDotFlu @StubHub @ScottFriedman3 Were you ever able to get any kind of account rep for contacting them about issues? Because if you couldn't at that scale than there really is no hope for me.

@BigDSlangin @StubHub @ScottFriedman3 I’ve been in the same spot my friend for more Ms than that. Selling physical tickets is work. And dealing with Stubhub CS is joke. It’s truly shitty I feel for you.

@BlueDotFlu @StubHub @ScottFriedman3 Maybe that will help one off sellers, but I'm selling nearly $1M in inventory every year. Not a feasible solution. Insane that I can't get someone on the phone that speaks English.

Next time you use physical tickets. Have a full video recording of full interaction inside the UPS/FedEX store. (Let employees know why you’re doing this and avoid having their faces in video) You putting the tickets into the package, you swiping your card, and showing the physical receipt.

@ScottFriedman3 @StubHub @clementsbrad4d But not to worry, I can wait 60 days for my dispute to get rejected with no explanation 😅

Eric Baker stated on Q1 earnings call @StubHub provides best customer service on planet. 😆 Also, how does their CFO, Connie James sleep at night knowing that she cooks their books.. @clementsbrad4d law firm is busy and will get busier‼️

@scottmelker Had an interaction with an older guy. He said he didn't really understand the benefit/point of stablecoins. Then we got to him saying he spends 6% to send money to a buddy in Laos. Then he understood. He knew stablecoins, knew his own issue, but hadn't connected it.

Bitcoiners, I learned something this week. We’ve been doing it wrong. For 15 years we’ve tried to onboard people with math, energy, cryptography, monetary theory. None of it works on a normie. Their eyes glaze. They tune out. They think we’re a cult. But explain the problem they already feel - that they’re running faster and standing still, that their work is being quietly taxed, that they shouldn’t have to become an investor just to keep what they earned - and they lean in. Don’t sell them the answer. Name the problem. They already know something’s wrong. Be the one who finally puts it into words.

@alt_w_v_g No, it was not $125/share. It was half that + a bunch of meme stock no one wants. Come back with $125/share cash and we can talk about it.

You used to sell stuff on eBay. Maybe an old camera. Maybe Beanie Babies. Maybe a coat that didn't fit. You paid a small fee. The buyer got the thing. Everyone went home. That eBay is gone. The website looks the same. The logo is the same. The 135 million buyers are still there. But the company isn't really a marketplace anymore. It is an advertising business with a marketplace attached for distribution. Last year, sellers paid eBay $2 billion just to make sure their own listings showed up. Read that again. The board calls this growth. A Canadian who runs a video game store called it something else. Here is what actually happened. In 2020 the board hired a new CEO. His name is Jamie Iannone. He arrived with a strategy called focused categories. In plain English, that means leaning into the stuff people pay extra for. Sneakers. Watches. Trading cards. Auto parts. The everyday seller, the person with the camera and the coat, was no longer the customer. The customer was now the seller who would pay to be seen. In 2025 eBay did $80 billion in transactions. They kept $11 billion of that as revenue. Of that $11 billion, $2 billion came from advertising. Sellers paid them $2 billion to promote listings on a website those sellers already pay fees to use. That is the growth story. In the same year, the number of enthusiast buyers, eBay's own term for their best customers, was 16 million. It was also 16 million the year before. And the year before that. And the year before that. Four years. Zero growth. They mention this on every earnings call without mentioning it. So what does a company do when growth stops? It buys back its own stock. In 2025, eBay returned over $3 billion to shareholders. Most of that was buybacks. In February the board authorized another $2 billion on top. Buybacks shrink the share count. Earnings per share goes up even when earnings stay flat. The stock price follows. The stock was $68 a year ago. It is $108 today. The company did not improve. The denominator got smaller. Then a man from Canada noticed. His name is Ryan Cohen. He runs GameStop. He started his career selling pet food online and sold it to PetSmart for $3.35 billion. He looked at eBay. 135 million buyers. $80 billion in transactions. Real margins. Real cash flow. A board harvesting the business instead of running it. He bought 5% of the company through derivatives and stock. Then on May 4, he offered to buy the rest. $125 per share. $56 billion total. On May 12, the eBay board rejected the bid. They called it not credible. The math is credible. What the board means by not credible is we would have to explain why we sold. Then Cohen went on Piers Morgan. He said eBay is run by a bunch of losers with perverse financial incentives. He pointed out that eBay's CEO has been paid $144 million over six years. He pointed out that he personally takes no salary and has put $128 million of his own money into the company he runs. You do not have to like Ryan Cohen to notice he is making a point that is hard to argue with. eBay used to be a place where regular people sold things to other regular people. Now it is a $48 billion company whose largest growth driver is charging its own sellers to advertise to a buyer base that stopped growing four years ago, while spending billions a year buying its own stock to make the chart go up. The board calls this strategy. A video game CEO from Canada called it what it is. The market is now waiting to see who else agrees. Plz fix. Thx. Sent from my iPhone

@Walianohohoh @Polymarket eBay is a tiny fraction of my overall sales, but I had $38,000 in sales on eBay last year.

@Polymarket Real talk. Does anyone still use eBay in present year? If I've got something broken I want to sell, I just use FB marketplace and save myself getting screwed for 15% or whatever fleabay are charging these days.

JUST IN: eBay auction to have lunch with Warren Buffett, Stephen Curry, & Ayesha Curry tops $70,000.

@navrandhawa @BY272727 @ScottFriedman3 @StubHub Same difference

@BigDSlangin @BY272727 @ScottFriedman3 @StubHub The seller just had the price of their tickets way under then the rest. It wasn't that the prices went up. He has dodgers Yankee prices at 500 while everything around his tickets were 2000.

The newest Stubhub bizzaro fraud trick: too good to be true listings that have long expired?

@navrandhawa @BY272727 @ScottFriedman3 @StubHub That follows policy. It's just a shit policy. If prices go up, they refund you. If prices go down, they replace tickets and pocket the difference. It's a free roll. And either way they charge the seller. Stubhub loves to break sales for this reason.

@BY272727 @ScottFriedman3 I bought a listings like this where it was true good to be true from @StubHub they cancelled it and refunded my money. They didn't buy me comparable tickets as their policy!

@coinbase I like the promo idea generally, but won't the grand prize just go to whichever of 1000 bots can get a $25 trade in the millisecond the clock strikes 7am on day 14? Is that really the intended behavior? Idk, don't love that.

@loudpunxnft Ear plugs! Protect your ears.

@hamptonism That's wild because I'm particularly repulsed by unhealthy food after good exercise.

Why do I always crave McDonald’s right after an insane workout. Whyyyy.

@OVSRAGE eBay is actually great for festival tickets. Because unlike most places like StubHub you can actually see the seller's feedback, see that they actually have the ticket in hand ready to ship, and talk with the seller as needed.

my hb js bought his rolling loud ticket off ebay

@ScottFriedman3 @StubHub @MBStadium Their mapping team sucks ass. I find errors all the time and when I report them with clear links and map screenshots from the primary, they just respond like this. Literally dozens of events in a row this has happened to me when I ask them to fix something.

BTW… @StubHub mapping team… This map is Lumen Field in Seattle below, please switch to @MBStadium in Atlanta for Karol G show! Thx! Resellers/Fans - DM me if you were WRONGED by @StubHub and I will get you touch with our attorney ASAP!

@MarioNawfal What do we do with these seized ships and their goods once we've taken control? What do we do with the crew?

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. grabbed an Iranian tanker off the coast of Sri Lanka today, over 3,000 miles from the Persian Gulf. This is a major shift. America isn't just enforcing Iran policy in Iran's backyard anymore. It's enforcing it everywhere, on every ocean, with no geographic limit. One analyst put it bluntly: "There's nowhere Iranian vessels can hide." Think about what that signals to every other shipping nation watching right now. If the US can intercept a vessel 3,000 miles from the conflict zone, no Iranian-linked ship anywhere is safe. And the real story is the precedent it sets. If other major powers decide to play by the same rules, global supply chains start looking very fragile very fast. Source: AP News

@hamez808 @EleanorTerrett @coinbase @Gemini They don't need one, because it's not a state's issue. The states are throwing hissy fits because it kinda sorta used to be, but the CFTC has taken over jurisdiction of prediction markets, which overrides anything the states say.

@EleanorTerrett @coinbase @Gemini So the state is wrong saying that they failed to obtain a NY gambling license? They didn't fail, and have one? Or they don't need one?

🚨NEW: NY Attorney General Letitia James has sued @coinbase and @Gemini, alleging they failed to obtain New York gambling licenses for their prediction market offerings, as the federal vs. state jurisdiction battle continues to escalate. The state vs. federal script has flipped for prediction markets and crypto this administration. Under Biden, firms looked to friendlier state jurisdictions for cover. Now, with a more supportive federal regime, it’s the states becoming the adversaries.

@nj_observer @ajlamesa When was the last EDC there? 2016?

@ajlamesa They are literally across the street. People walk up and down that road all day long. Giants Jets games. Tons of young people walking down rt 120 for EDC concerts. I’ve walked home from there not a word.

The irony of these Meadowlands hotels charging so much money, ostensibly for proximity to the stadium, is that, because the stadium is inaccessible to pedestrians, their guests will probably face longer, more annoying "commutes" to the games than people arriving from Manhattan on a train or bus.
