Looks like Rick bit off more than he can chew.
I am sure a return to Ebay is imminent. |
I registered eyes wide open with regards to shilling. I figured there could still be some good deals across the site. If I didn't end up buying anything than so be it.
I didn't count on my personal info being exposed 😡. |

Logic dictated not to rush into registering until after enough time had elapsed to see how things were proceeding. Gotta love logic.

Lie down with dogs, get fleas.
For all of you scratching your itches right now, wtf did you expect? |

The crash had nothing to do with the data being exposed, other than they were both related to letting AI write your code and not understanding the ramifications of that. More importantly, even if it was a hack that revealed the shill bidding of the hunnybunny account, I'd say that was a good thing. |
I’m really disappointed in Probstein and the fact that I signed up and gave over a lot of information. I have since emailed them requesting a full deletion of my account.
I guess I am naive. I didn’t realize how rampant shill bidding was in the hobby. I thought this was mostly cleaned up and I know the auctions where it happens and I stay away from them as a result. Shame on Probstein and shame on anyone who bids on their own items or hires/asks others to do so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
When his next auction posts, on whatever platform, no one will even remember or care. See concepts 1 and 2 in signature. :eek:
|
I wonder if eBay is seeing any of this and the shill bidding by Rick? Think that was the reason they booted PWCC, was it not. So I would think they would not let Rick return for the same reason.

Now that PSA has proudly and emphatically declared they’re number one on eBay, and with their deeply entrenched relationship with them (the authenticity guarantee), could they influence Probstein’s return to the platform?
And this Snype debacle is getting so much traction online, it’s everywhere…possibly to a degree beyond any previous hobby controversy. Maybe so much so that some consequence is bound to be suffered by someone (other than card collectors) as a result. Who knows. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d41ece7705.jpg |
Doesn't PSA get paid an authentication fee every time Probstein sells on ebay a card over a certain dollar threshold?

Yeah, certainly. But is that more $ than having no probstein on eBay and subsequently getting more consignment business that may have previously gone to him? I don’t know which is the bigger pot of gold. |
I also have my doubts PSA has much influence over ebay which is what, a company with a $30 billion or more market cap. But I don't know.

In my opinion, what Rick did deserves punishment and he should be banished from the hobby for at least a couple years to pay for his sins Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
The consignment that Rick was going to get is gonna go somewhere else and we’re all gonna see the cards anyway, and hopefully in a more trusted environment.

The AI coding specific tasks and then trying to string them together to make a cohesive site could certainly lead to the weird functionality issues like snipe bids ending auctions early. If you only tested each function in a vacuum and didn't try every piece of the code in place as a whole it would likely lead to what we saw. There was also information embedded in the code that wasn't part of the code, but telling you what the code was intended to do. That's pretty standard for AI generated code, and completely unnecessary and odd to have in there. No human would ever do that. |
Pretty sure if they are claiming a hack then they will have to offer all registered users free credit monitoring…
