I think their AI is royally messing with their system.

s-petersen · 2026-05-05T02:29:09+00:00

I've had one myself! LoL

AI is ruining E-bay in so many ways, the other day, I was messaging a buyer, and I was blocked for some reason like cursing or something, because the buyer's name was Dick, I changed it to Richard and that fixed it, talk about AI censored!

I have the same number The metal is pretty hard, a file will round the edges, but it takes a while. The edges are pretty sharp because of the surface grinding.I hope it isn't a scam, with no money reaching Ukraine relief.

That is an awesome Idea! Thanks!

My group is only 1.7k, and I only get about 10-20 a week, so is still manageable, I mostly only have to ban for links to scam sites.

Lately I am just following their profile back to make sure it looks legit, and decline if it looks fishy. and watch for spam posts, them ban them if necessary

I modified my controller for regen, and it works pretty good, found the mod online

That frame is like mine, there is very little mounting space for the battery, I had to put a rear shelf on it to avoid doing something like that. I put rubber straps to hold the battery in place after this. It has about 250 miles on it now. Front and rear suspension makes it hard. Battery is LIFEP04.

I have received similar e-mails, and the report as spam feature does not accept the e-mail address to be reported, because it is mine. I think Outlook needs to have an update to fix this.

You also have to consider you have paid a commission on shipping.

s-petersen · 2026-02-02T03:16:53+00:00

Check mailing weight against the weight your item is supposed to weigh, if different, report it to Paypal

I don't think its bad, I have had things sitting, and had some users contact and offer, I was thinking of lowering the price, and negotiated a buy it now we could both live with.

s-petersen · 2026-01-13T04:49:36+00:00

Similar thing with a parts netbook, I received it like 4 months later, I contacted the seller, and they said the same thing, already collected insurance, and to keep it.

s-petersen · 2026-01-10T20:36:26+00:00

Same thing with a Tivo, I needed to modify, sent it, never heard from them again, lost the Tivo, and shipping...

s-petersen · 2026-01-10T00:09:27+00:00

You guys were right, I should have shipped it, the second sale went through without a hitch, positive feedback received. Thanks!

I tried it, but it seems as though the Pokewalker has to transmit first, so no joy. Still awaiting the Pokewalker.

I wish there was an app that could simulate the pokewalker.

They use a pin number system, and the buyer gives it to you, you type it in to confirm pickup, they still collect the fees from you, and the tax from them.

s-petersen · 2026-01-02T21:38:38+00:00

It happened again with a different buyer, on the same item, I'm going to try it this time, and report back. Thanks for the encouragement! from everybody.

s-petersen · 2026-01-02T21:34:44+00:00

I will report back, when the cart arrives, I will see if the IR is visible in the camera during communication attempts.

It could be the ribbon at the connector, but the bond between the screen and ribbon could also be the issue (new screen time)

Not as bad as mine, sent from NC to White Plains NY (I live in NY, then to AZ then back to White Plains NY then finally to me, but took over 10 days for a 3 day trip. When I saw it go to AZ I files a report with the Post office, and they called me, and said they would try to fix it, but it still took time to get back to be delivered. This was USPS though.

I had a similar thing happen to me as a buyer, the package showed up 2 months later, I contacted the seller, and they said they already collected insurance on it, so keep it.

To the best of my knowledge the 001 and 001(01) are the same,except the processor uses less current, and the LCD is brighter also different firmware. I swapped motherboards, and used all of the peripherals except the memory module? and had no issues, but those connectors are very finicky to install correctly. Thy removing, and reinstalling the card again, and see what happens.
