>do you know where you are?
I know that one of the new blockchain coins will inevitably take off, but I can't wrap my head around how many people are just blindly throwing there neatbucks at shit to see what sticks. This reminds me of a couple years ago when everyone was trading the McAfee stock and its not like the company was actually doing jack shit, it was just like, McAfee was this godly figure in all the shitposters minds and everyone was awaiting 'enlightenment' or something so he could take them to the moon. Maybe I'm out of touch or out of the loop, but I feel like I understand this side of the market to make money regularly Crypto is like buying lottery tickets. I maybe have 5% of my portfolio in bitcoin just for the hell of it

He's actually doing good though, he's fucking with insurance companies.

Before, since the price was so cheap, insurances made people pay for it out of pocket since it was in their budget.

Now he owns the recipe and raised the price, insurance companies will have to start paying since most people on their plans can't afford $750 for a pill.

If you don't have insurance they will still give you the pill.

Yea he looks like a douche but he's still doing good.

I'm on my phone because I need to upgrade to a 5GHz receiver for my modem.

lol so you're saying J-List is going against GoDaddy as well? :^ )

and don't tell me you think eBay is that dumb, every seller would be able to do the same thing if it was that easy.

If you're outside the U.S., there should be more ways for accepting payments other than Paypal.

You're looking to sell Vintage, anything can happen.

Since everything is used, you can't do anything but accept a return, hoping it's not a swtich.

eBay is no longer a garage sale

Let me say that again, eBay is no longer a garage sale.

>2015 May Updates
>New sellers can only list 20 things for free
>New sellers can only list 10 items a month (until they build up)
>New sellers have their money held until the item is delivered
So that Treadmill you sold that costs $100 to ship, well you'll have to have $100 already in your pocket to ship it.

eBay is basically trying it's best to change the stereotype that most people give it as the harbor for scams.

Every time someone says something negative about eBay, they talk of how their sis/mom/dad/cousin/next next door neighbor bought a phone on eBay and received a picture instead.

eBay thinks it's the seller's fault for these rumors, so they try to implement new things to stop new sellers from wasting their time scamming. eBay is basically trying to be less home friendly and more commercialized like Amazon.
>2008 Paypal payment hold until delivery System


Take for instance, if a buyer wants to buy a printer and it's the same price on both eBay and Amazon, they would rather buy it on Amazon. Why? Because Amazon is "safer", and basically looks like any other commercial site.
>2014 UI changes on Paypal/eBay Purchase History
>2014 Defect System

eBay still doesn't understand that it's a whole different platform for a different kind of people. Those who love trading/hobbie selling, etc. But eBay has let greed overtake it and now wants to get more $$$ by making itself safer for the fortune 5 to come sell instead of the small sellers. I understand the decision, for it would make it so eBay wouldn't have to deal with calls/small cases since they no longer would be held responsible, as the consumer would be blaming walmart/toysrus/etc instead. While if it was a small time seller selling the item he/she bought from Walmart, the buyer would say it was eBay as a whole that "scammed" them.

This new update for May 1st will make it so new sellers/hobbie sellers wouldn't be able to sell much due to the already placed 2014 defect system that would hold them back or possibly suspend them all together.


>Summary:
eBay wants to become Amazon but doesn't want to become Amazon even though they are two different platforms. eBay places walls around sellers instead of walls around bad buyers. eBay still goes down the drain as nothing...still...changes...

The guy was cheaper, everyone in the U.S. was $200 more. Not going to waste $200 just to have someone do something as simple as being able to implement a "Upload" button in an app with a couple of words.

Anyway this is just a test app, if everything works. Shark Tank should be able to pay 20k for some U.S. dev to make my shit look dank.

100K, but I pay over 60% in taxes. Such is life in Belgium...

>make 50K
>only pay 10K in taxes
Oy vey, to live in belgium.... where one would pay 30K
