Tell HN: eBay doesn't allow changing countryhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44140192On 2025-05-30, I received an email from eBay saying "Peter, are you still using your account?"I got a security code by email, and successfully spoke to a nice man from Florida on the phone.I noticed that my address has changed, because my parents sold their house in France and moved to New Zealand. So I updated my address as well.On 2025-05-31, I received another email from suspension@ebay.com saying "MC092 FPA NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension - User Agreement - Abusing eBay - peterburk"The first thing I did when I turned 18 years old was to open accounts on eBay and PayPal using my old iBook G3 (before even going downstairs to open birthday presents).And now all my 88 positive reviews are for nought, because eBay blocked me.If anybody reads this, please let me know an email address in eBay so I can contact a real human to verify that my account is real.This is not AI, this is not a drill, this is the real world and life is just a little complicated.May 30, 2025 9:49 PM

Show HN: Outlier, a new daily word gamehttps://outlier.land/Hello HN,If you love daily word games like the Crossword, Connections, or Wordle, you might enjoy Outlier.The game explores relationships between words-- while RED is of course a color, it is also a baseball player in Cincinnati, a Taylor Swift album, and a River on the Texas border (to name a few).Ex:Super Mail Slender Aqua Sand Boogey Hail Hit GentleWhile Gentleman, Superman, and Hitman are all real words/concepts, Hailman is not. HAIL is the Outlier. The Outlier then becomes a member of the set for the following.The next round might then cover Meteoroligical Phenomena, or archaic greetings (Hail Caesar) or words to indicate where someone is from ("she hails from Ohio").Open to all feedback! Trying to decide if the current time penalty should be increased to encourage more methodical play. I'm also posting daily clues on IG @ outlier.land. Thanks!May 30, 2025 2:15 PM

When a Giant Sells You a Ghosthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44050279In today’s tech-driven economy, high-performance computing systems are the beating heart of innovation — from life sciences to automotive AI. Yet behind the polished marketing campaigns of some major global suppliers, there lies a darker and more troubling reality.A small British innovation company recently found itself in an impossible position.They had entered into what appeared to be a promising deal with the UK subsidiary of a large US-based enterprise technology manufacturer — a household name. The agreement involved financing the acquisition of a specialised high-performance server, sold as new, state-of-the-art, and mission-ready.What they received was a system that, within days of installation, failed to operate as advertised. Investigations revealed indications that the equipment had been previously used, and internal communications suggested that even the supplier’s own staff were aware of problems.But here’s the true outrage: the financing contract — designed by the supplierMay 21, 2025 11:22 AM

Spent weeks building, not marketinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44013060Hey HN,We’ve spent the last few weeks pretty much glued to the computer, obsessing over product and ignoring everything else — including marketing. I just really wanted this to work.The project is ecomdesignlab.ai, an AI-powered fashion shoot generator. You upload clothing items, and it generates realistic model shots for ecommerce — no photo shoots needed.Until recently, our onboarding was way too limited. You could upload a fashion piece, but you had zero control over how it appeared — no way to pick the model’s pose, no background options. It worked, but it didn’t feel right, especially not for fashion founders who care a lot about brand and visual control.So I stayed off Twitter, off LinkedIn, off everything, and just built.Here’s what’s finally live:You can now choose poses and backgrounds before generating. This alone made the whole tool way more usable.Image generation time is now ~3 minutes, down from ~11 (which is still common in other tools).A cleaner, guided onboarding flow May 17, 2025 9:10 AM

Validating a women-only beauty service platform (React/Node/Next.js)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43994182Hey HN, I'm Ziad — currently building a prototype for a women-only beauty services platform, and I’d love your early thoughts before we ship an MVP.The idea hit me unexpectedly. One day, my mom booked a beauty freelancer to come to our home. It was a disaster. The stylist had no online profile, no reviews, no credentials, and… no clue what she was doing. I asked, “Where did you find her?” My mom replied, “Someone just recommended her.” That’s when it clicked: why isn’t there a vetted, trust-based platform for this?So I started mocking up a product:Think Airbnb UX meets Glossier aesthetics with a Node.js + PostgreSQL backend, and a Next.js + Tailwind front.We’re building an app where women can find verified, reviewed, and skilled beauty freelancers or salons just for women, filtered by price, location, ratings, and availability.For freelancers/salons: they’ll get a dashboard, booking system, and verified profile (with KYC & portfolio upload).Here’s the interesting part from a product-maMay 15, 2025 12:09 PM
