RE: https://mastodon.scot/@Walkaholic/117472527922723039 If you're not in one of the countries where eBay is legally required to notify you of your right to opt out of your data being used for AI training (European Economic Area, U.K., Switzerland, perhaps others), then eBay probably sent you a different email which doesn't mention that you can opt out. However, you still can, at this page: https://accountsettings.ebay.com/ai-preferences #eBay #AI #privacy
Quoting
With thanks to someone on 🦋 eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

Ich versuche aktuell einen #NanoPi R5S zu kaufen. Egal, wo ich schaue, kommen die Teile immer aus #China. Entweder sind es Direktversender oder chinesische Plattformen. Aber auch wenn ich bei #Amazon oder #eBay schaue sieht es so aus, das der Versand immer aus China kommt. Es sieht so aus, als ob es für die Teile keinen deutschen, oder wenigstens europäischen, Distributor gibt. Eigentlich will ich nicht direkt in China bestellen. Zum einen die Zusatzkosten. #Zoll (nur 3€), Einfuhrumsatzsteuer, Gebühren des Transportdienstleisters. Zusätzlich die Wartezeit und wenn was nicht passt wird der Support Null sein. Hat irgendwer eine Idee, wo ich noch schauen könnte um Versand aus China zu umgehen? #followerpower #fedihelp #askfedi

Da ich aus Gründen nicht mehr bei #eBay #Kleinanzeigen bin, sehe ich gerade mit Interesse das neue Profil 👉 @anzeigerkiel@norden.social hier auf #Mastodon erscheinen, insbesondere, da es sich lokal auf den Raum #Kiel fokussiert. Ich finde, das ist eine tolle Idee 💡 Kann natürlich nur gut funktionieren, wenn viele #Kieler*innen dem folgen und die #Anzeigen #Plattform 👉 https://app.anzeiger-kiel.de/faq auch nutzen. Also #GerneBoosten! 🔄 Laut Impressum hat 👉 @bernardteske@det.social das gebaut. Danke Dir! 👏

Bought a thing on #eBay Its title was "Genuine Leather, Cowhide" I received a cheap fake made from PU, polyurethane, a plastic polymer. It said so on the packaging too. I raised a complaint with eBay. Their AI responded within 30mins, stating "there's nothing wrong with this" and closed my complaint. 👀🤬🤯🤬 rest assured I'm not done with this

Does anyone here use #eBay to sell items and find it a successful and pleasant experience? I made my first listing in decades, and thus far, it's been a disaster. My first listing was taken down because sBay said I was trying to sell the item off the platform. I wasn't, and eBay ignored my appeal. So, I listed it a second time, and within one hour I have ZERO bids and TWO scam attempts. eBay seems like an absolute disaster—a platform run by people who don't care for scammers. Am I wrong?

@stdevel@chaos.social ...und mit diesem #ThinkPad fing die Abhä.. äh Begeisterung für edle und zeitlose Notebooks an: dem 760L von 1996. Ich hatte es 2008 als Schüler günstig auf #eBay ersteigert um zu schauen, ob ThinkPads wirklich so gut mit Linux laufen. Das Gerät war mit einem #Intel Pentium 1 (90 MHz), 24 MB EDO-RAM und 2.1 GB-Festplatte damals schon ein Oldtimer. Auf dem Gerät lief zuletzt #CRUX Linux (https://crux.nu) - und das trotz limitierter Ressourcen sogar mit Sound und WLAN 🤯

I am having a problem signing in to my Ebay account. It keeps asking me to check a checkbox. I do so, and then, it gives me an inaccessible captcha with no audio alternative. I tried this on Windows 7, 10, and 11, with Firefox and Supermium, and nothing changes. I can't even read their accessibility page because it asks me to sign in and sending me back to the captchas! Is there a trustworthy captcha solver that works with NVDA or a way around this? Alternatively, does anyone here know of another site that sells vintage and antique things, or even another ebay replacement in general? I've been with them for over twenty years as a buyer, but if I need to change sites, I will do so. This is ridiculous! #accessibility #blind #captchas #Ebay #Firefox #inaccessibility #NVDA #ScreenReaders #Supermium #technology #Windows7 #Windows10 #Windows 11

The #security practices on ebay.com is just stunning. Someone created an ebay account using my e-mail address and managed to enable 2FA instantly. Such things happens from time to time, so I usually do a password reset and delete the account. But since this ebay account had 2FA enabled - I'm not able to do a password reset. Well, you could argue that's good security, and I won't argue here. The issue comes next ... reaching out to ebay goes via a chat, where you hit someone which has a ready script. Responses look 99.9998% AI LLM. Requesting to chat with a human, I get the response "I am a human". I'm sent to a new web page where I do hit a chat bot, but the guidance from the previous chat was to ask for a human representative 🤦‍♂️ ... this one complies though. Then there's another webform to fill out and then I get a response I need to CALL THEM. The number is a US number. But I am not in the US, I am not going to spend MY money on an international phone call to sort up something like this. To my knowledge, even US tollfree numbers will cost money when calling from abroad. I do find a way to send a report via yet another webform. Where I get a message they will respond within 48 hours. Well, they were quicker, so I guess that's not too bad. However, this is the reply I get: I have reviewed your account and confirmed it would be best if you speak with our dedicated Team who are specialized in resolving these types of issues over call as it need verification. Due to the nature, severity of such issues and for your account protection, they offer customer service only via phone. First of all, how on earth is a phone call going verify that I am who I am and that the caller is not the fraudster abusing my e-mail address? The real issue ebay has: They make it possible to CREATE an account AND enable 2FA WITHOUT an e-mail verification in the first place. No wonder there is so many reports on scams and fraud on ebay. They make it incredibly easy to create illicit accounts. And that is of course going to be abused. I have reported the account as best as I could. The issue is in their hands to solve now. I don't see how I can be held liable for just having an e-mail account abused and ebay not having enough security measures on account creation. But e-mails from ebay.com is going to the spam folder now. And I will NEVER EVER create an ebay account. Unless ... of course ... I could create an ebay account using some random e-mail address. I wonder if ebay.com addresses would work? Just need to remember to enable 2FA as quickly as possible. #ebay #scam #fraud #fail
