On darknet markets they use an escrow account and admins act as mediators, so as long as you can show that you have a valid tracking number. The issue becomes when people try to scam you by selling you broken electronics or scam buyers pulling fraud returns. Weirdly this is common with VCRs on eBay. There’s large resellers who buy good VCRs and steal parts out of them and return them. Then they resell on Amazon. I guess it comes back to having a karma system.
The issue in the US with accepting payments on behalf of sellers is that you have to then collect sales tax which is different for every locality. Then you also have to issue tax forms to the sellers for sales over a certain amount. Which leaves us with sellers collecting payments on their own which means using something like PayPal or Bitcoin. You would just have to have people build trust through reviews and hope for the best. You could base the service in a random other country so that you wouldn’t have a bunch of regulations to deal with and leave all the tax stuff up to the buyers and sellers. You’d probably run into issues with accepting credit cards though.
eBay/marketplace/etsy alternative.
At first I had to remove some posts but then I revamped the rules and that really helped. the community has grown into its own thing over time. The most I had to remove was recently due to a spat people were having in the comments. I never have had to ban anyone.
iirc they posted one of the few posts I’ve had to remove from !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world nothing serious, it just wasn’t really appropriate for the com.
They use hundreds of smart phones with data plans.
Let’s say you drive 10k miles per year and you’re getting 20mpg that’s 500gal of fuel per year. If gas is $5/ gal that’s $2500 per year. Let’s say I can get a car that gets 40 miles per gallon. Over ten years I’m saving $12k so I’d need to spend less than $12k on a car in order to save money. Idk what the cost of electric is over the cost of gas but I know that I can’t get an electric car for less than $12k that isn’t going to need an expensive battery replacement in the near future.
I do the same with Nintendo DS off of eBay. Almost always just something simple.
Because working from home doesn’t really mean you have to be in your house as long as you’re working. Just like you don’t have to actually eat on your lunch break. If you can’t trust me then why am I still working for you?

They’ve deluded themselves into thinking they can achieve full ai and take over the world. These tech billionaires got their money young and never grew up because of it
I didn’t get age verification ever, if I did I just shouldn’t use the site. I do get websites that arbitrarily prevent access if you’re using a VPN which is highly annoying.
How’s that supposed to work with ssh keys?
They’ve literally come out and said they can infer with a great deal of certainty who is driving a specific car. The cameras have built in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. They could be using those to fingerprint your phone.
