just thought id tell everyone about my disapointment so use all can have a laugh lol…
i just bought a “bargain” of ebay, it contained a german arcticuno, base set gyarados, rockets zapdos, latios, togitik, promo 1st movie zapdos, base set blastoise, and a few other good cards all for $25… got them this morning full of excitment to find that most of them are in the worst condition
cant even see the picture of the blastoise,
both zapdos are probs not even worth keeping, and the arcticuno wasnt holo … so give us a reply and please tell me im not the only 1 whos been hurt on ebay lol
I’ve received several cards from eBay that in the auction description they were said to be in mint condition and were not. If I spent a lot of money on the card I usually request my money back and some sellers will accept the cards back for a refund. What was the condition of the cards listed as?
Also, I won a ultra rare tournament promo (worth about $1000) for about $5. The seller never sent the card and never replied to any of my messages.
My Biggest eBay disappointment was when I saw ‘my’ cards up for sale without my approval.
Regarding disappointing transactions, we all know the saying ‘if it’s too good to be true…’
@shpunto9 I’m curious you stated you ‘won’ the card by that do you mean it was up for bids correct? If that is the case did the seller have a reserve on them? It is highly unlikely that someone would put on ebay a $1k card and let it go for $5, well I’ve done worse
You didn’t read my detailed post about what happened to me regarding all of this, I’m not going to repeat it; read it under the ‘collectorcache’s’ thread if you want to know what I am talking about.
that makes me feel alot better thanks guys,
but its also got me worried, cause i just won the pass card promo, and 1st ed charizard none have reserve prices on them, if use want i could show use the link, and use probaly wont beleive the price i won them for lol
The card was of course not sent and the seller did not reply to my messages. If I were him, I wouldn’t have sent it either. I don’t know how it went under the radar without any other bids.
Zamp,
If the condition was stated as mint or new, and you received the cards in poor condition (and are unhappy about them), I would ask the seller for a refund if you send them back. If you paid with Paypal, you should have absolutely no problem getting a refund.
Yeah I know who that seller is. Nathan is shady but when money is involved you see everyone’s true colors. I bought a couple cards from him, but it is disappointing to see people that are like that. He should of put a reserve on the auction.
You know I thought it was my buddy Nathan, he sold me that magikarp card that you now own Scott. It took me like 2 solid weeks of email pestering for him to even communicate with me.
I had purchased the card off of him on a Friday, well my bank was closed and since it doesn’t do transactions over the weekend he decided to put it back up and then come Monday my money was gone and he still had the card up, finally got it however; fun times, fun times
( Scott you didn’t buy that 4th place league promo from him, did you? He did try to sell it to me but I declined telling him it was too frustrating dealing with him and that I would never deal with him again.)
He started the bidding at 0.99 GBP, someone bid like 2.90 GBP on it, and I bid like 120 GBP, and won it for 3.10 GBP. I couldn’t believe it after the auction. But ya, he never sent it, so I left him some negative feedback. That would’ve have been the rarest card in my collection.
Yes I saw, I saw with my own eyes that shpunto9 was indeed God All that I believed in is now put to doubt and questioning
However I guess Scott’s awesome karmic power dethroned my new God
Anyway, reinasierpe did the seller of the jumbo cards mention what condition they were in? or was it damaging caused by shipping?
People this is why PSA is the way to go, If your PSA graded cards get damaged then you can blame it on anything else but the seller, oh wait Jumbo cards are not graded by PSA.
(To PSA grade pokemon jumbo cards and since I gave you props and an idea to increase sales in your service of grading please pay me $20M half of which will go to Scott so I may buy his trophy cards. PSA, I’ll be awaiting a PM from one of your many representatives )
