Hey all,

I went to sell few things on ebay (my kid's shopkins of all things) and my account has been "paused" for selling. Apparently paypal can no longer be used for selling (supposedly buyers can purchase with it). So frustrating. I have been a member for 15 or 20 years, but I don't sell much. And every time i go to sell, rules have been changed again and I have to do some convoluted crap to sell something.

So they have this "managed payments" thing. They ask for a SIN number as optional (they shouldn't even be asking for that). I will never, ever share that. Alternatives are drivers licence or a passport numbers. Seems kind of sketchy asking for those, especially from an organization that would have the gall to ask for your SIN number. So unless I provide one of these it looks like I can no longer sell on ebay.

Anyone else run into this? Am I missing something, a way to work around this?

I also noticed it seems they force you to charge sales tax. I can't seem to turn the tax option off on the draft listing I created. This is also a crock, as I'm just trying to sell crap. Not running a business. To me ebay should be akin to an online yard sale.

So all this makes me want give ebay the finger and find alternatives. A lot of people reference facebook. I have a facebook account which I have not used in years... I don't really care to partake in facebook. But it seems like it might be a wide reaching market. Facebook has changed vastly as well, so I don't really get how it works these days. For example, if I sell there, are my friends and family going to get notified every time I list something? I don't really need them all watching all my facebook activities if I'm going to be buying and selling on there. Or are there settings?

Anyway, main thing is, are there any good easy alternatives to ebay where I can sell stuff? It should be easy and reach a significant market, just like ebay used to be. Any suggestions or tips?

Thanks.

So whats everyone think of these?

Really odd looking. I actually love the greedo. Obi looks super clunky and awkward. The jawa seems odd double robed but about what I expected.

Hopefully amazon.ca gets these. Gotta get the greedo at least.

Didn't see a thread for indigo.ca

They have the retro Hoth board game on sale right now for $26 if anyone is still looking. Amazon is price matching as well.

Well I was kind of excited to see these and now that they've revealed snake eyes scarlet roadblock and Duke I'm rather disappointed.

The designs just look off. Like they're so close but they just did enough weirdness to really mess them up. What's with all the goofy shin pads? And the goofy gold? And what is that thing roadblock is holding?

I thought this line would be more along the lines of pursuit of cobra or the sideshow Joes. PoC was a near perfect modernizing of many of the figures. Instead it seems to be leaning too much to the 90s goofiness that killed the Joe line back in the day.

Snake eyes is pretty cool, though again not quite right. Just a little off. Too busy and not really a modern version of either v1 or v2 snake eyes like I was expecting. More like the CD rom version that came out in the early 2000s. A weird choice.

Anyway I thought I was going to get sucked in and be all in for this line. Instead, my first impression is I'm going to be very choosy. With wave 1 only snake eyes has me interested in actually spending money.

Anyone know if this one is coming to Canada?

Surprisingly I couldn't find an existing hot wheels thread. I haven't really been collecting these since I have titanium and focus primarily on OT stuff there hasn't been much of interest to me.

But I saw these concept vehicles from hot whhels a little while ago and they showed up at SDCC. Anyone know if these have come out in, or are coming to, Canada? They look really cool and I love concept stuff so these are a must for me.
