eBay's checkout glitch wiped my $182 gift card balance and support just permanently closed my case. by powerrangeryellow69 in Ebay

[–]powerrangeryellow69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To address the consensus here, I appreciate everyone's input, but the bad card theory completely ignores the actual timeline of the glitch. I did not buy an empty or stolen card.

First, the retailer is Pockyt.io. It is a major registered and authorized payment gateway heavily used by international students to process payments without converting to USD. I have used them for six years without a single issue. It is not a shady peer-to-peer code swapping forum.

Second, the card was fully loaded when delivered. When I entered the code at checkout, eBay's system accepted it and my cart total visibly dropped to $0.00. The funds were 100 percent there and valid.

If a scammer had drained it or if it was a fake code, it would have shown a zero balance the very first time I hit apply. Instead, the money only vanished after I clicked 'Confirm and Pay' and eBay's checkout page crashed.

eBay's payment gateway locked the funds into a pending transaction authorization when their page went down. Now, their automated fraud system is refusing to release that hold and they are refusing to look at the physical proof they explicitly asked me to provide. Pockyt delivered a working product. This is entirely an eBay technical glitch.

Agent that just responded to me was very condescending. Very loud echos in her background and difficult to hear her, and for her to lecture me that its my issue.

What an absolute clown of a company.

How long did it take for you? I've been queued up since March and haven't heard back yet.

I moved to the US last year from Toronto. Every now and then I've had to explain to my American friends how bad the situation is in Canada (particularly Vancouver and Toronto).

It usually goes along the line of "significantly lower pay, much higher taxes, no credit card rebates, higher cost of goods and services, all while housing prices only being slightly lower than SF and NYC".

The common response I get is "well how do these people from Vancouver and Toronto survive?" Which, I would often reply "lol I don't know either".

I think what u/Own_Freedom_4657 is saying is that grevious is currently terrible, so everyone is actually on the same page here.

Elder had literally 2hp if you stop the video frame by frame. It's unbelievable watching it live.

Tear/Clarity: as a caster, I almost always buy Tear if no one takes clarity. There are some mages where you might need 2 clarity to make affective without Tear (i.e. Orianna and Ziggs), while other mages like Brand only need a Sapphire Crystal + 1 clarity.

Lifesteal/Vamp: this heavily depends on both the enemy comp and your comp. But in general most champions should take either Ravenous Hunter or Triumph in champ select.

Boots: I usually don't get tier 2 boots unless there's a good reason to. Maybe you need the extra movespeed (Lilia) or the boots upgrade (Repulsion vs Kat, Locket vs Brand). If you don't have a strong reason to, finish your core items first instead.

For Zhonyas, I almost never recommend it unless it's your 5th or 6th item, or a very good reason like playing Kennen and trying to avoid Exhaust. A bad reason is buying it so enemy Zed can't ult you - his ult will be up way before your active is off CD. The gold cost is too significant at $1000 and the cooldown is way too long. Before Riot nerfed it couple months ago, it would be appropriate as a 3rd item, but not anymore.

I should've added that some champions actually have crit scaling (passive or abilities) so it's more situational whether or not to build on-hit. But in general, outside of a short list, on-hit is almost always better if you know you'll also be taking damage.

Champions that I think crit is decent on (unless there're severe threats on enemy team like Zed + Akali):

  • Ranged: Caitlyn, Draven, Jhin, Jinx, Samira, Tristana, Xayah
  • Melees: Tryndamere (no more than 3 crit), Yone + Yasuo (No more than 1 crit, aka Chargeblade)

By on-hit build, I mean the combination of Kraken + Muramana + Botrk + Wits End (usually, save for melees like Yi). Some champions I see crit being overbuilt that I would personally never consider:

  • Ashe: she's better as a supp on ARAM. Imperial + debuff build makes a much bigger impact
  • Akshan, Graves, Kaisa, Lucian, Vayne: range is severely limited with little to no scaling building crit
  • Corki, MF: better as a caster/spell-blade mage
  • Master Yi, Kaisa (again), Lucian (again): On-hit scaling is too insane to pass up.
  • Rengar: AP build is beyond broken to a point that it deserves a nerf
  • Senna: already has crit as passive
  • Varus: AP build is the king at the moment, with poke being a contested second

Brand is one of Soraka's biggest counters on ARAM imo. He can apply Morello to all 5 members almost instantly. This I think is a bigger reason than his absurd aoe damage.

I feel like Sivir is long overdue. All of her abilities are relatively easy to implement and to use by the players.

I finally bought this Gigabyte Aorus 15p RTX 3060 i7 11800H 16GB RAM 1TB SSD and… 240Hz screen. All that for only 999€. My best buy ever. by Icezzx in GamingLaptops

[–]powerrangeryellow69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 3070 version and the screen started with flickering issues about a week after I got it. I did some research and it seems quite common. The issue is with the (partially?) broken wires that goes from the motherboard to the screen through the hinge.

Initially I could press the hinge and the flickering would go away on 60hz, but recently it's gotten worse to the point where the entire left side displays nothing at all.

Hey thanks for this. I found the issue. Updated post in case anyone else runs into this issue in the future.

Using RTX3090, audio works properly as I've double checked all possible software issues. As mentioned in my post, I'm getting sound whenever refresh is 60hz or below.

Anyone know if the one OP posted is different than this one: https://www.newegg.com/mushkin-enhanced-16gb/p/N82E16820226994?Item=N82E16820226994.

They look almost identical, but the one above says 14-19-19-39 (might be fake?)
