More Than a Store: Why I Joined the Trash Pack Community and Why Your Trust Means Everything

The Cost of a Dream

For a long time, I operated on giant platforms like Amazon and eBay. But recently, a harsh reality set in. Increasing tariffs, rising shipping costs, and a mandatory 15% platform commission forced me to keep raising prices.

It broke my heart. A toy that should be affordable became expensive due to these “hidden wastes.” To me, that 15% isn’t just money; it’s a barrier between a toy and a collector who would love it. My mission has never been just about profit—it’s about helping every toy find its “Hero,” a collector with a caring heart who sees its true value.

Born in October 2025: What is “Myretoy”?

In October 2025, I began building Myretoy. People often ask about the name and why I deal in “second-hand” or nearly extinct toys.

To some, these might look like “trash” or “garbage.” But in my eyes, they are never outdated. These toys carry the dreams of specific moments in our lives. Myretoy was born to ensure that everyone can realize their childhood dreams without leaving any regrets behind.

A Heartbreaking Turning Point

I was a loyal eBay seller for 10 years. I thought I had found a stable way of life. But in January 2026, everything changed.

I have long-time, loyal customers in Japan and Mexico who desperately wanted pieces from my collection. However, because I didn’t have a dedicated account manager, I was restricted to using only “SpeedPAK” logistics—which cannot reach those countries.

Faced with the choice between following a rigid platform rule or helping my old friends, I chose my customers. I bypassed the rules to get those toys to them. As a result, my 10-year-old account was restricted, and many of my items were delisted. This deeply hurt my heart. After a decade of dedication, I realized I needed my own space—a place where no rigid logistics or rules could stop a toy from reaching the hands of someone who truly desires it.

Finding My Tribe: r/TrashPack

Through the introduction of those same loyal customers, I joined the r/TrashPack community. As a die-hard player myself, I felt an instant connection.

I’ve met so many of you here—people who are witty, humorous, and incredibly welcoming. Your support during this transition has been overwhelming. I want to express my most sincere gratitude to everyone in the r/TrashPack and Discord communities. You didn’t just welcome a seller; you welcomed a fellow collector.

My Promise

Please rest assured, Myretoy is now my primary mission. I am committed to making my greatest contribution to this community. I will continue to hunt for the rare, the “gross,” and the beautiful, ensuring they reach you fairly and safely.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s make those childhood dreams come true, one toy at a time.
