The Pi's gone bad...

TL;DR: Raspberry Pi showcased police surveillance and police activity in a positive light. And that makes the Bit upsetti spaghetti. ------------------------------------ I don't know how many people on Tumblr are into geeky computer tech, but I felt like making a blog post to vent my frustrations about a recent goings-on. There's a company called Raspberry Pi that's been around since 2011 (with early development of Raspberry Pi starting around 2006). They're known for making small micro-computers the size of a credit card. It was originally an education initiative to get kids interested in coding. These computers run Linux, have a variety of ports for various uses and flexibility, and have a very low introductory cost. They've been utilized in all sorts of places. -Hobbyists used them in custom builds for robotics and automation. -Coders have used them to create all sorts of programs that help with entertainment, productivity, internet security, etc. -Educators have used them to help teach the fundamentals of Linux to students. It's a group and product that I've supported for a long time.

WELL, on December 8th, Raspberry Pi made a news post on their site announcing that they've hired a new person. Which is totally fine. It's good to see company growth. Only, this person was an ex-policeman in the UK surveillance division.

In the interview for the article, this ex-policeman said: “I used to be a police officer tackling serious organised crime and terror threats across the east of the UK. I was a Technical Surveillance Officer for 15 years, so I built stuff to hide video, audio, and other covert gear. You really don’t want your sensitive police equipment discovered, so I’d disguise it as something else. The variety of tools and equipment I used then really shaped what I do today.” "I started playing with Raspberry Pi hardware at home around the same time I started using Linux at work. I have used Raspberry Pi a lot in various police tactics over the years. They were dependable, low-cost, portable, and supported by such an awesome community. I tried almost every ‘fruit-based’ single-board computer out there, but I always came back to Raspberry Pi." Now, I don't blame Raspberry Pi for their computers being used as surveillance devices. It's a very open-source type of device. People are gonna get ideas. And sadly, using a micro-computer for this kind of job makes sense. HOWEVER, Raspberry Pi have full control over who they choose to hire. AND they have full control over what they choose to post to their website. If this hire and this information are things that they are happy to showcase to the world, I can't interpret this any other way than them endorsing their product for secret surveillance. Others saw it the exact same way. People went to the replies on Twitter and Mastodon to voice their concerns. But the social media manager chose to start blocking and hiding posts from people that were talking negatively about the ex-policeman and/or the article. To be fair, there were a LOT of hateful and trollish posts. And I DO NOT in any way support the harassment of anyone. Still it's not a good look to silence criticism on something so potentially contentious. It's ESPECIALLY not wise to word your replies to these comments in a dismissive and antagonistic way.

I don't know if they're still blocking people and hiding comments at this point. There seem to be plenty of angry comments left under their Twitter post. So I'm gonna guess they decided it wasn't worth trying to fight. On top of this issue, people continue to point out that it's legendarily difficult to purchase a new Raspberry Pi computer nowadays. The retailers that sell individual units can't seem to keep steady stock. This means that you either have to be VERY lucky when a supply drop happens, or you have to buy one of the scalped units being sold on either eBay or Amazon. The deluxe model is routinely sold for twice it's normal price.

That being said, if you're a business and want to buy a bulk shipment of Pi computers, that option is still readily available. Seems like the Pi company is more than happy to move inventory around if it means getting bulk batches out the door for businesses that want to stick Pi computers in random things (whether it be service devices or consumer products). And that's who I think Raspberry Pi's current REAL customers are: big businesses with big pockets. I don't completely believe that they hired this ex-policeman for the sole purpose of pushing the idea of using Pi computers in covert surveillance to law enforcement. That hinges on conspiracy talk. But I DO have a suspicion that someone in the marketing department saw the opportunity. The interview at times has an ere of advertisement. It puts Raspberry Pi computers in a position of looking like the perfect solution for police equipment. This is all my own interpretation. I can't really know 100% what their intentions were with this. I could be completely off on my assumptions, and they could turn around and say that it was a complete misfire on the PR side of things. What I do know is that I am now much more wary about Raspberry Pi. I once had interest in seeing how their newer units performed. But now I can't in good conscious hand my money over. I'm a major advocate of only allowing the police what they need within reason. And surveillance like this steps over that boundary. I was one of the first people who ordered the OG Raspberry Pi. I have great memories of learning Linux and tinkering around with it. It's one of the big reasons why I'm so interested in Linux today. I hope the Raspberry Pi company takes a minute to remember where they started. To remember their original goal. Making learning and computing accessible to all.

Taking Risk

I just spent a week talking with some exceptional students from three of the UK's top universities; Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial College. Along with UCL, these British universities represent 4 of the top 10 universities in the world. The US - a country with 5x more people and 8x higher GDP - has the same number of universities in the global top 10.

On these visits, I was struck by the world-class quality of technical talent, especially in AI and biosciences. But I was also struck by something else. After their studies, most of these smart young people wanted to go and work at companies like McKinsey, Goldman Sachs or Google.

I now live in San Francisco and invest in early-stage startups at Y Combinator, and it's striking how undergraduates at top US universities start companies at more than 5x the rate of their British-educated peers. Oxford is ranked 50th in the world, while Cambridge is 61st. Imperial just makes the list at #100. I have been thinking a lot about why this is. The UK certainly doesn't lack the talent or education, and I don't think it's any longer about access to capital.

People like to talk about the role of government incentives, but San Francisco politicians certainly haven't done much to help the startup ecosystem over the last few years, while the UK government has passed a raft of supportive measures.

Instead, I think it's something more deep-rooted - in the UK, the ideas of taking risk and of brazen, commercial ambition are seen as negatives. The American dream is the belief that anyone can be successful if they are smart enough and work hard enough. Whether or not it is the reality for most Americans, Silicon Valley thrives on this optimism.

The US has a positive-sum mindset that business growth will create more wealth and prosperity and that most people overall will benefit as a result. The approach to business in the UK and Europe feels zero-sum. Our instinct is to regulate and tax the technologies that are being pioneered in California, in the misguided belief that it will give us some kind of competitive advantage.

Young people who consider starting businesses are discouraged and the vast majority of our smart, technical graduates take "safe" jobs at prestigious employers. I am trying to figure out why that is.

___

Growing up, every successful adult in my life seemed to be a banker, a lawyer or perhaps a civil engineer, like my father. I didn't know a single person who programmed computers as a job. I taught myself to code entirely from books and the internet in the late 1990s. The pinnacle of my parents' ambition for me was to go to Oxford and study law.

And so I did. While at university, the high-status thing was to work for a prestigious law firm, an investment bank or a management consultancy, and then perhaps move to Private Equity after 3 or 4 years. But while other students were getting summer internships, I launched a startup with two friends. It was an online student marketplace - a bit like eBay - for students. We tried to raise money in the UK in 2006, but found it impossible. One of my cofounders, Kulveer, had a full-time job at Deutsche Bank in London which he left to focus on the startup. His friends were incredulous - they were worried he'd become homeless. My two cofounders eventually got sick of trying to raise money in the UK and moved out to San Francisco. I was too risk-averse to join them - I quit the startup to finish my law degree and then became a management consultant - it seemed like the thing that smart, ambitious students should do. The idea that I could launch a startup instead of getting a "real" job seemed totally implausible.

But in 2011, I turned down a job at McKinsey to start a company, a payments business called GoCardless, with two more friends from university. We managed to get an offer of investment (in the US) just days before my start date at McKinsey, which finally gave me the confidence to choose the startup over a prestigious job offer. My parents were very worried and a friend of my father, who was an investment banker at the time, took me to one side to warn me that this would be the worst decision I ever made. Thirteen years later, GoCardless is worth $2.3bn.

I had a similar experience in 2016, when I was starting Monzo, I had to go through regulatory interviews before I was allowed to work as the CEO of a bank. We hired lawyers and consultants to run mock interviews - and they told me plainly that I was wasting my time. It was inconceivable that the Bank of England would authorise me, a 31 year old who'd never even worked in a bank, to act as the CEO of the UK's newest bank. (It turned out they did.) So much of the UK felt like it was pushing against me as an aspiring entrepreneur. It was like an immune system fighting against a foreign body. The reception I got in the US was dramatically different - people were overwhelmingly encouraging, supportive and helpful. For the benefit of readers who aren't from the UK, I hope it's fair to say that Monzo is now quite successful as well.

___

I don't think I was any smarter or harder working than many of the recent law graduates around me at Oxford. But I probably had an unusual attitude to risk. When we started GoCardless, we were 25 years old, had good degrees, no kids and supportive families. When fundraising was going poorly, we discussed using my parents' garage as an office. McKinsey had told me to contact them if I ever wanted a job in future. I wonder if the offer still stands.

Of course, I benefitted from immense privilege. I had a supportive family whose garage I could have used as an office. I had a good, state-funded education. I lived in a safe, democratic country with free healthcare. And I had a job offer if things didn't work out. And so the downside of the risks we were taking just didn't seem that great.

But there's a pessimism in the UK that often makes people believe they're destined to fail before they start. That it's wrong to even think about being different. Our smartest, most technical young people aspire to work for big companies with prestigious brands, rather than take a risk and start something of their own.

And I still believe the downside risk is small, especially for privileged, smart young people with a great education, a supportive family, and before they accumulate responsibilities like childcare or a mortgage. If you spend a year or two running a startup and it fails, it's not a big deal - the job at Google or McKinsey is still there at the end of it anyway. The potential upside is that you create a product that millions of people use and earn enough money that you never have to work again if you don't want to.

This view is obviously elitist - I'm aware it's not attainable for everyone. But, as a country, we should absolutely want our smartest and hardest working people building very successful companies - these companies are the engines of economic growth. They will employ thousands of people and generate billions in tax revenues. The prosperity that they create will make the entire country wealthier. We need to make our pie bigger, not fight over the economic leftovers of the US. Imagine how different the UK would feel if Google, Microsoft and Facebook were all founded here.

___

When I was talking with many of these smart students this week, many asked me how these American founders get away with all their wild claims. They seem to have limitless ambition and make outlandish claims about their goals - how can they be so sure it will pan out like that? There's always so much uncertainty, especially in scientific research. Aren't they all just bullshitters? Founders in the UK often tell me "I just want to be more realistic," and they pitch their business describing the median expected outcome, which for most startups is failure.

The difference is simple - startup founders in the US imagine the range of possible scenarios and pitch the top one percent outcome. When we were starting Monzo, I said we wanted to build a bank for a billion people around the world. That's a bold ambition, and one it's perhaps unlikely Monzo will meet. Even if we miss that goal, we've still succeeded in building a profitable bank from scratch that has almost 10 million customers.

And it turns out that this approach matches exactly what venture capitalists are looking for. It is an industry based on outlier returns, especially at the earliest stages. Perhaps 70% of investments will fail completely, and another 29% might make a modest return - 1x to 3x the capital invested. But 1% of investments will be worth 1000x what was initially paid. Those 1% of successes easily pay for all the other failures.

On the contrary, many UK investors take an extremely risk-averse view to new business - I lost count of the times that a British investor would ask for me a 3 year cash-flow forecast, and expect the company to break even within that time. UK investors spend too much time trying to mitigate downside risk with all sorts of protective provisions. US venture capital investors are more likely to ask "if this is wildly successful, how big could it be?". The downside of early-stage investing is that you lose 1x your money - it's genuinely not worth worrying much about. The upside is that you make 1000x. This is where you should focus your attention.

___

A thriving tech ecosystem is a virtuous cycle - there's a flywheel effect that takes several revolutions to get up-to-speed. Early pioneers start companies, raise a little money and employ some people. The most successful of these might get acquired or even IPO. The founders get rich and become venture capital investors. The early employees start their own companies or become angel investors. Later employees learn how to scale up these businesses and use their expertise to become the executives of the next wave of successful growth-stage startups.

Skype was a great early example of this - Niklas Zenstrom, the co-founder, launched the VC Atomico. Early employees of Skype started Transferwise or became seed investors at funds like Passion Capital, which invested in both GoCardless and Monzo. Alumni of those two companies have created more than 30 startups between them. Matt Robinson, my cofounder at GoCardless, was one of the UK's most prolific angel investors, before recently becoming a Partner at Accel, one of the top VCs in the world. Relative to 15 or 20 years ago, the UK tech ecosystem is flourishing - our flywheel is starting to accelerate. Silicon Valley has just had a 50 year head start.

There is no longer a shortage of capital for great founders in the UK (although most of the capital still comes from overseas investors). I just believe that people with the highest potential aren't choosing to launch companies, and I want that to change.

___

I don’t think the world is prepared for the tidal wave of technological change that’s about to hit over the next handful of years. Primarily because of the advances in AI, companies are being started this year that are going to transform entire industries over the next decade.

It doesn't seem hyperbolic to say that we should expect to see very significant breakthroughs in quantum computers, nuclear fusion, self-driving vehicles, space exploration and drug discovery in the next 10 or 20 years. I think we are about to enter the biggest period of transformation humanity has ever seen.

Instead of taking safe, well-paying jobs at Goldman Sachs or McKinsey, our young people should take the lead as the world is being rebuilt around us.

in my personal (American) experience, any "small business" big enough to have employees but small enough to not have to listen to labor laws (under 50 employees) is run by fucking ghouls who are actively anti-employee rights and who vote that way. if it's like, one person on etsy or at the farmers market selling their goods that's one thing but anyone who makes themselves a boss can and should be stolen from. infinite growth is the ideology of a cancer cell etc etc, if they love their product so much and don't want it to get stolen they should sell online if i'm being honest!

okay so im a bit short on time so at risk of coming across as, somewhat defensive, im going to directly quote an example from my life rather than try to pretend im not doing that, this isnt defensiveness though, im simply trying to understand.

1 it has not been my experience that size of a company has any correlation with being able to ignore labor laws, and in fact the larger the company is, the more likely they would be to know exactly what laws they could break and bend to avoid getting in legal trouble because they can afford a legal team. and also the risk of bringing up any kind of issue is much higher for an employee of a large corp, but maybe thats just me living in right to work states

2 my friend owns a business. the business model is directly based on providing a space for community. he owns a game "store" that is like 90% space to come in and play games. the LLC has 3 employees, of which he technically is one. he gets a salary from the LLC and it is not a lot. he already has a profit plan in place wherein a percentage goes back into the business to make it better and more functional for its purpose, and is going to start in the next year or so (he only just started this, and wasnt expecting to have hired anyone else yet) to have an employee profit sharing program where the remainder of profits from the LLC get split equally between employees.

i think the "infinite growth" here is primarily geared toward providing a service within the community, a space to exist in. do you extend this same attitude toward a bar? or coffee shop?

i know that this is a specific example for a general question, so i will add some more general stuff, but just a bit bc i gotta get to work. where should one sell things online? you mentioned etsy, should etsy, ebay, or amazon be getting a share of profits from online sales, why? what about a website where you pay for your own domain name? why is the online model better than having a brick and mortar storefront? because people who dont care are able to steal from it? why are we encouraging punishing the people who are significantly more likely to be affected by theft than corporations actively making our lives hell?

and also, to add, i know of a small business owner in my hometown, hes an ass and everyone hates him, and he owns a restaurant that is very successful. you cant steal from it, and its working out well for him. and hes well known for voting dem and also being the biggest ass. so i know they exist, but i still dont see how even if you could that stealing from him would count as direct action. you arent helping anyone really

How to make money online quickly?

Making money online quickly is something a lot of people want, but it's crucial to approach it with a realistic mindset. I've had some personal experience in this area, and I'd love to share some insights that might help. Let's dive in! Firstly, when it comes to making money online rapidly, it's essential to be cautious of get-rich-quick schemes. Most of them promise quick cash but often end up being scams or unsustainable ventures. I've encountered a few of these myself in the past and learned that they rarely deliver what they promise. Instead, they can be quite risky and might lead to financial losses rather than gains. One of the more reliable methods I've found is through freelancing. Websites like Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer.com offer opportunities to showcase your skills and offer services to a global market. For instance, if you're skilled in writing, graphic design, programming, or digital marketing, these platforms can be goldmines. According to recent statistics, the freelance market is booming, with over 59 million people in the U.S. alone doing freelance work in 2021, contributing $1.2 trillion to the economy. Another avenue is affiliate marketing. By partnering with companies to promote their products or services and earning commissions for every sale made through your referral link, you can potentially generate income. It's crucial to choose reputable companies and products aligned with your interests or expertise to make this work effectively. Furthermore, e-commerce has seen explosive growth. Platforms like Amazon, Etsy, or eBay offer opportunities to sell products online. Dropshipping, where you sell products without holding inventory, has gained popularity due to its low initial investment requirement. The e-commerce sector experienced a 27.6% global growth rate in 2022, highlighting its potential for profitability. Additionally, investing in stocks or cryptocurrencies can be lucrative but carries inherent risks. It's vital to conduct thorough research and, if possible, seek advice from financial experts before venturing into these markets. Cryptocurrencies have shown tremendous growth, with Bitcoin, for instance, having increased by over 300% in value from 2020 to 2022. In a nutshell, making money online quickly requires a blend of caution, skill, and dedication. Avoiding scams, leveraging freelancing, affiliate marketing, e-commerce, or even investment opportunities like stocks or cryptocurrencies can all potentially yield profits. However, it's essential to approach these avenues with realistic expectations, patience, and a willingness to learn and adapt. Remember, success rarely happens overnight, but with perseverance, it's possible to build a sustainable income stream online.

'Tis Business As Usual for eBay, Baby!

Hello y’all!

I thought eBay went out of business a long time ago, but apparently not!

PR Newswire published a press release by eBay about the company’s expansion of its Circular Fashion Fund (CFF) to the U.S., committing $1.2 million to start-ups by the end of 2025 in a bid to promote sustainability and support small businesses in the fashion industry.

More and more large corporations are investing in promoting circular economies, where the reuse, repair, and resale of products become a core part of the fashion ecosystem. This fund is primarily “designed to help fashion start-ups scale circular solutions, from production to end-of-life, including rental and repair services.”

The CFF, launched in the UK in 2022, “has helped 15 businesses scale their circular solutions”, two of which include The Seam, which allows businesses to offer garment care and repair services at scale to extend the life of clothes, and RCYCL, an innovative at-home fashion recycling program for unwearable clothing.

eBay’s investment marks its understanding of the vital role small businesses play in creating a more resilient fashion ecosystem. Circular fashion, with its focus on reselling, upcycling, and refurbishing, directly benefits small enterprises and promotes sustainability by lowering their dependency on raw materials and reducing overhead costs.

Start-ups that engage in this model can access new revenue streams by reintroducing products into the market rather than relying solely on the traditional supply chain, which can be costly and unsustainable. A circular economy can foster healthy competition in small businesses, and reduce vulnerability to the fluctuations in raw material prices and other supply chain disruptions.

CFF’s launch in the U.S. notes will help start-ups cater to a growing eco-conscious consumer base to meet their demand for sustainable and circular fashion alternatives. This could potentially translate into increased brand loyalty and market share for these small businesses, with eBay’s backing boosting their credibility and resources to build trust with their consumers.

The B2B economic impact is also evident in how eBay facilitates access to markets for these start-ups. By offering a global platform with a well-established customer base, eBay helps small businesses reach a wider audience, significantly enhancing their growth potential.

This kind of exposure is invaluable, especially for start-ups that may struggle with visibility in the early stages of their development. eBay’s support also includes non-monetary assistance such as mentorship and guidance, as highlighted in the press release: “the fund will support start-ups with both funding and eBay’s marketplace expertise.”

So while I am surprised that not only is eBay still in business but that it is actually in profit, I do think that the launch of CFF in the U.S. is a strategic move to ensure monetary and environmental benefit for all stakeholders involved.

What’d you guys think of this? Does anybody still use eBay? Let me know in the comments below.

Until next time,

Cheers!

Finding the Lowest Prices on Vapes: Tips for Budget-Conscious Consumers

The vaping industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with a wide range of products and brands available to consumers. However, this growth has also led to a significant increase in prices, making it challenging for budget-conscious consumers to find affordable options. As a result, many vapers are forced to compromise on quality or settle for cheaper alternatives that may not meet their needs. In this article, we will explore tips and strategies for finding the lowest prices on vapes without sacrificing quality or performance.

Comparing Prices Online

One of the most effective ways to find vape lowest price is to compare prices online. There are numerous online retailers and marketplaces that offer a wide range of vaping products at competitive prices. Websites like Amazon, eBay, and specialized vaping forums often feature price comparisons, customer reviews, and product ratings that can help consumers make informed purchasing decisions. Additionally, online retailers frequently offer discounts, promotions, and sales that can significantly reduce the cost of vaping products. By taking the time to research and compare prices online, consumers can find the best deals on vapes and save money.

Discounts and Coupons

Discounts and coupons are another excellent way to save money on vapes. Many online retailers and manufacturers offer exclusive discounts and promo codes that can be used to reduce the cost of vaping products. These discounts can be found on company websites, social media pages, and email newsletters. Consumers can also sign up for rewards programs and loyalty schemes that offer points or discounts for repeat purchases. Furthermore, some online retailers offer price matching guarantees, which ensure that consumers get the lowest price available. By taking advantage of these discounts and coupons, consumers can enjoy significant savings on vapes.

Clearance Sales and Closeout Deals

Clearance sales and closeout deals are a great way to find low prices on vapes. Many retailers offer clearance sales on discontinued products or overstocked items, which can result in significant savings for consumers. These sales often feature high-quality products at deeply discounted prices, making them an excellent option for budget-conscious consumers. Additionally, closeout deals on vaping products can be found on online marketplaces like eBay and Craigslist, where sellers are looking to clear out inventory quickly. By keeping an eye out for clearance sales and closeout deals, consumers can find fantastic bargains on vapes.

Second-Hand and Refurbished Vapes

Second-hand and refurbished vapes are another option for budget-conscious consumers. Online marketplaces like eBay, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace often feature second-hand vaping products at significantly lower prices than brand new items. Additionally, some retailers offer refurbished vapes that have been inspected and tested to ensure they meet quality standards. Refurbished vapes can be a cost-effective option for consumers who want a high-quality product without the hefty price tag. However, it's essential to exercise caution when purchasing second-hand or refurbished vapes, as they may not come with warranties or guarantees.

Budget-Friendly Brands

Some vaping brands are more budget-friendly than others, offering high-quality products at affordable prices. Brands like Joyetech, Eleaf, and Innokin offer a range of vaping products at competitive prices, making them an excellent option for budget-conscious consumers. Additionally, some brands offer starter kits and beginner-friendly products that are designed to be affordable and easy to use. By opting for budget-friendly brands, consumers can enjoy high-quality vaping products without breaking the bank.

Conclusion

Finding the lowest prices on vapes requires some research and effort, but the savings can be significant. By comparing prices online, taking advantage of discounts and coupons, looking for clearance sales and closeout deals, considering second-hand and refurbished vapes, and opting for budget-friendly brands, consumers can enjoy high-quality vaping products at affordable prices. Remember to always prioritize quality and safety when purchasing vaping products, and be cautious of extremely low prices that may indicate counterfeit or low-quality products.

How to Quickly Sell Your Phone with Phoneto™: Best Platforms for Instant Cash

In today's tech-driven world, phones quickly become outdated, and many of us, including myself, often find ourselves with old devices just sitting around. Throwing them away feels wasteful, and selling them seems like a hassle. But if you're looking for a fast and simple way to sell your phone, this guide highlights the best platforms for getting instant cash offers.

Why Sell Your Old Phone Sooner?

The smartphone market depreciates rapidly, with old models losing value quickly. For instance, Decluttr data shows that a new iPhone can lose up to 40%-60% of its value in the first year. The iPhone 14, released in 2023, saw its price drop by 42% within nine months. That’s why selling your phone sooner ensures you get the best possible price.

Moreover, phones degrade over time, with battery life shortening and screens wearing down, which lowers their resale value. Whether you want to maximize your return or reduce waste, selling your phone sooner rather than later is always the best option.

The Environmental Impact

The world is facing a growing e-waste problem, with over 50 million tons of electronic waste generated globally each year. Only 20% of that is properly recycled, according to a UN report. Selling your phone doesn’t just benefit your wallet—it also contributes to reducing e-waste. As more people become environmentally conscious, selling used phones to recycling agencies has become a popular choice, especially in regions like Europe and the US, where environmental awareness is growing. By selling your phone, you help protect the planet and support the circular economy.

Top Platforms for Quick Cash Offers

While platforms like eBay or Craigslist are well-known, they can take time and effort, with price negotiations and unreliable buyers. If you need quick cash, here are faster and more reliable options:

Physical Buyback Stores Retailers such as Apple Store, Best Buy, and Verizon offer fast in-store evaluations and instant cash or store credit. Apple’s 2023 Trade-In Program allows you to trade in an iPhone 13 for nearly $400, which you can apply toward a new device. It's a quick, hassle-free option for those upgrading their phones.

Online Buyback Platforms If you'd rather avoid leaving the house, online buyback platforms are convenient for getting an instant quote and quick payment.

Gazelle: Known for fast transactions, Gazelle offers an average processing time of under 48 hours. Once you ship the phone, you can receive payment quickly via PayPal or check.

Decluttr: As one of the largest recycling platforms, Decluttr provides free shipping and competitive quotes, with users averaging around $250 for a typical device.

Phoneto: A rising star in the buyback market, Phoneto offers instant quotes and fast payouts. Users have praised its intuitive interface and competitive pricing, with some earning up to $350 for newer models like the iPhone 13. After you ship your phone for free, Phoneto ensures payment within 48 hours.

Carrier Buyback Programs Carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile offer trade-in programs that can be completed within minutes. These programs are ideal if you’re upgrading your phone, with Verizon's program offering up to $1,000 in credit for top models.

Second-Hand Marketplaces Although slower, platforms like Swappa are becoming popular in 2024, offering secure transactions. Unlike eBay, Swappa provides protection for both buyers and sellers, making it a safer option for private sales. With 30% growth in transactions in 2023, average sale prices for phones range from $250 to $400 depending on the condition.

Prepping Your Phone for Sale

Before selling, protect your data by:

Restoring factory settings

Removing your SIM card

Unlinking iCloud or Google accounts

Deleting personal apps and data

These steps not only ensure your privacy but can also help you fetch a higher price for your device.

Conclusion

Selling your phone can be fast and easy with the right platform. Whether you choose a physical store, online buyback platform, or carrier program, there are plenty of reliable options for turning your old phone into cash. In 2024, platforms like Phoneto, Gazelle, and carrier buyback programs offer some of the best ways to get instant offers while contributing to sustainability.

Imagine this: You've got a fantastic product, but it's gathering dust because you picked the wrong marketplace. The fees are eating into your profits, customer reach is limited, and you're drowning in a sea of competition. Sounds like a nightmare, right? 👀 But don't worry - we're here to help you navigate these choppy e-commerce waters.

In this comprehensive comparison, we'll dive deep into the Amazon vs eBay showdown, exploring everything from seller fees and product categories to fulfillment options and future growth potential. By the end, you'll have a crystal-clear picture of which platform aligns best with your selling goals for 2024 and beyond. Ready to supercharge your online selling game? Let's dive in! 🚀

Platform Overview

Amazon's marketplace structure

Amazon operates as a vast online marketplace, primarily focused on fixed-price listings. The platform is known for its sophisticated algorithm-driven search and recommendation system, which helps sellers reach potential customers. Amazon's structure is designed to prioritize customer experience, often favoring sellers who can provide fast shipping and competitive pricing.

Key differences in selling formats

Feature Amazon eBay Listing Type Primarily fixed-price Auction and fixed-price Inventory Management Centralized catalog Seller-managed listings Brand Registry Available Not available Prime Eligibility Yes, for qualified sellers No equivalent program

Amazon and eBay differ significantly in their selling formats. While Amazon focuses on a streamlined, catalog-based approach, eBay offers more flexibility in how products are listed and sold. This difference impacts how sellers manage their inventory and interact with customers on each platform.

eBay's auction and fixed-price model

eBay's hybrid model sets it apart in the e-commerce landscape. The platform offers:

Auction-style listings: Ideal for unique or collectible items

Fixed-price listings: Similar to Amazon's format, suitable for new, mass-produced goods

Best Offer option: Allows buyers to negotiate prices with sellers

This versatility gives sellers on eBay more control over their pricing strategies and the ability to cater to different types of buyers. However, it also requires more active management compared to Amazon's more automated approach.

With these platform structures in mind, sellers must consider their product types and selling strategies when choosing between Amazon and eBay. Next, we'll examine the crucial aspect of seller fees on both platforms to help you make a more informed decision.

Seller Fees Comparison

When deciding between Amazon and eBay for selling in 2024, understanding the fee structures is crucial for maximizing profits. Let's break down the fees for both platforms and explore some useful tools to help you calculate your potential earnings.

A. Fee Calculators and Tools

Both Amazon and eBay offer fee calculators to help sellers estimate their costs:

Amazon Fee Calculator: Available in Seller Central

eBay Fee Calculator: Found on the eBay website

These tools are invaluable for:

Estimating profit margins

Comparing fees across different product categories

Planning pricing strategies

B. Hidden Costs on Both Platforms

While the basic fee structures are straightforward, be aware of potential hidden costs: Hidden Cost Amazon eBay Storage fees Yes (FBA) No Long-term storage Yes (FBA) No Return processing Yes Varies Listing upgrades No Yes

C. eBay's Fee Breakdown

eBay's fee structure includes:

Insertion fees (often waived for a set number of listings)

Final value fees (percentage of total sale)

Optional listing upgrade fees

eBay's final value fees typically range from 10-15% of the total amount of the sale, including shipping.

D. Amazon's Fee Structure

Amazon's fees are more complex and include:

Referral fees (category-specific percentage)

Fulfillment fees (if using FBA)

Monthly subscription fee (Professional sellers)

Amazon's referral fees generally range from 8-15%, with additional FBA fees for storage and handling if applicable.

Now that we've compared the fee structures, let's explore the reach and traffic of both platforms to understand their potential customer base.

Reach and Traffic

Now that we've compared the seller fees, let's explore the reach and traffic potential of Amazon and eBay, two e-commerce giants that offer sellers access to vast customer bases.

A. Search visibility and SEO potential

Both Amazon and eBay provide excellent search visibility, but their SEO potential differs: Platform Search Visibility SEO Potential Amazon High (A9 algorithm) Limited customization eBay Good (Cassini algorithm) More flexibility

Amazon's A9 algorithm favors products with high sales velocity and positive customer reviews, while eBay's Cassini algorithm considers factors like item specifics and seller performance.

B. eBay's global audience

eBay boasts a truly global reach, operating in over 190 markets worldwide. This international presence offers sellers:

Access to diverse customer demographics

Opportunities for cross-border selling

Exposure to niche markets in different countries

C. Amazon's customer base

While Amazon may not have as wide a global footprint as eBay, it dominates in key markets:

Over 300 million active customers worldwide

High customer loyalty through Prime membership

Strong presence in major e-commerce markets like the US, UK, and Germany

Amazon's customer base is known for:

Higher purchase frequency

Greater average order value

Strong brand trust and recognition

Next, we'll examine the product categories and restrictions on both platforms to help you determine which marketplace aligns best with your inventory.

What is Blockchain Game Development & its Benefits

Expected to reach $65 billion USD by 2027, the blockchain game market continues to experience exponential growth and introduce novel concepts every day, making it an attractive field for investors. Due to its relative novelty, investors often see this area as an opportunity to combine classic or revolutionary gaming concepts with innovative new features for players.

Competition among DeFi gaming projects has already presented marketing teams with marketing challenges. In order to fully comprehend the potential behind blockchain gaming and whether or not it should be pursued as a viable investment opportunity, investors need to thoroughly inspect their surroundings and learn about blockchain game development services.

Entrepreneurs looking for new investment options should read this article, which provides a thorough introduction to blockchain in gaming, its most common vulnerabilities, and changes to keep an eye out for.

What Is Blockchain Gaming?

In terms of gameplay and layout, blockchain games don't differ too drastically from traditional video games. Their variety stretches from platformers and open world exploration quests to shooters - and many provide nearly the same experience that well-known non-blockchain gaming projects do.

Blockchain games stand out because of their focus on play-to-earn (P2E) principles, enabling players to profit from playing by minting assets that can then be converted to real currency. Asset generation may vary depending on genre; however, its implementation must always remain seamless within gameplay to make earning tokens natural and enjoyable for the player.

Top Benefits of NFT in Games

While gaming enthusiasts generally had mixed reactions when introduced into NFT in games, at least 56% expressed interest in blockchain gaming platforms and positive expectations regarding decentralized games stem from:

Accessible source of income

Play-to-earn isn't new - professional gamers compete worldwide and sign contracts with brands and organizations to make a living through gaming. But making money through professional gaming requires treating it like any other full-time career, including hours of training before receiving compensation for their efforts.

Enriched Player Experience

NFTs come in many forms--images, skins, items and cosmetics--making them an excellent source of rewards for players seeking exclusivity rather than profit. Within blockchain games, players can unlock exclusive content to showcase their status or progress; additionally, some platforms allow traders or even sellers to trade or sell unique in-game assets in exchange for tokens that can later be exchanged for currency--similar to selling belongings on eBay or trading collectibles.

Player Motivation Enhancement

There are games that reward players for activities outside the gaming realm. For instance, blockchain-based jogging apps add gamification into daily workouts by challenging and rewarding users based on program and performance - giving unique NFT achievements for their hard work while providing some financial benefits through trading or exchanging awards into currency.

Players noted that adding play-to-earn could increase engagement with a game and help game developers increase retention rate, thus helping game developers achieve increased retention rate. Yet realizing these advantages of blockchain gaming requires finding the ideal development partner and process and an understanding of potential challenges.

What is the lifecycle of blockchain game development?

For P2E crypto game custom blockchain development services, this can be thought of as an extension of standard game development with blockchain components integrated.

As with traditional games, a blockchain game's success relies on its non-development aspect: community and early adopters must be identified before development can commence, as well as a roadmap with milestones and promotion plan that should be put in place.

All of this must be resolved before development commences so game designers and marketing teams can properly understand its style and genre before marketing teams identify potential target audiences for promotional materials and game developers address the specific issue that blockchain games must consider: tokenomics.

In-game economics is key to player satisfaction within blockchain games. When interactions between users and DeFi features run smoothly, it becomes easier for games to attract a larger player base. Furthermore, maintaining a balance between developer profit gains and value gained for participants is also critical; otherwise the game risks quickly garnering a negative reputation and being abandoned quickly.

From Transactions to Trust: How E-Commerce Platforms Use Payout Services

E-commerce businesses rely on payout services to streamline financial operations and enhance overall efficiency. Here’s how these payout services providers in India are utilised in various aspects of e-commerce:

1. Vendor and Supplier Payments

E-commerce platforms often work with multiple vendors and suppliers for their product and service needs. Payout services automate these payments, eliminating the need for manual processing such as handling invoices and issuing checks. This automation speeds up payment cycles and reduces errors, ensuring that vendors are paid on time and maintaining smooth supply chain operations.

2. Affiliate Commissions

Many e-commerce sites use affiliate marketing to drive traffic and sales. Payout services handle the complex task of calculating and distributing commissions to affiliates based on the sales they generate. This automation ensures that affiliates receive their earnings promptly and accurately, which helps in maintaining strong relationships and scaling affiliate programs without additional administrative burden.

3. Seller Withdrawals

For e-commerce marketplaces like Amazon or eBay, individual sellers need to withdraw their earnings from the platform. Payout services facilitate this by automating the process of transferring funds to sellers’ bank accounts or digital wallets. This not only ensures timely access to funds for sellers but also enhances their overall experience and satisfaction with the platform.

4. Customer Refunds

Efficient handling of customer refunds is crucial for maintaining customer satisfaction. Payout services automate the refund process, ensuring that funds are returned to customers quickly and accurately. This reduces the administrative workload on customer service teams and improves customer trust and loyalty by providing timely reimbursements.

5. International Transactions

E-commerce businesses often operate globally, which involves managing payments across different currencies and countries. Payout services simplify international transactions by offering features like currency conversion and cross-border payments. This helps businesses manage global operations smoothly and adhere to local financial regulations while mitigating currency exchange risks.

6. Payroll

For e-commerce companies with employees, managing payroll efficiently is vital. Payout services automate salary payments, including calculating wages, deducting taxes, and transferring funds to employees’ accounts. This automation reduces manual effort, minimises errors, and ensures that employees are paid accurately and on time, which is essential for maintaining morale and compliance.
