Ebay should have a report button for false product descript.

General

I see it all the time, an eBay post that says its a “First Edition Charizard” and its like a present day magikarp or something like that. I think it would be awesome and easy to add a report button so say after say 5 or so reports it takes the item down. Maybe more reports if its something that is abused somehow. But after the first report it would send the seller the information of the reporter saying whats wrong with the post.

I don’t know if this would work, but there really is no way of reporting an item for being false and there should be in a free market where scamming is a thing.

I’m really getting tired of “NO GOLD STAR CHARIZARD” or things like that just to make their listing show up when you search charizard. Very annoying

Agreed, I believe the title should be pure. If you want to add fan fare at the end like condition sure, but anything else seems silly.

“PSA 10?” (has a crease).

“Mint?!” (Idk you tell me the condition why are you asking the buyer?)

“Pokemon lot, charizard, gold stars, shining… *scrolls down* … Every 20 lots sold will get one!” (oh FFS not one person will get a charizard, gold star, or shining, u lyin’.)

I’ve got saved searches on eBay for certain sets PSA 9 and 10 so I can check quick during work if something I need for my set gets posted, and it’s super annoying seeing a raw card with PSA9/10??!? and it would be lucky to get a PSA 6.

I dislike lotto style listings. They exist both on mercari/ebay.

They’ll have some pictures of neo 1st eds like the Lugia/Pichu but the description/title say vintage PSA 9/10s for 171$.

I hope no one buys them but youtubers always do the attention videos of “I just gambled 3000$ on x!”. And thus the subscriber base gets hyped up. Even my LGS does mystery boxes which have okay value but you’ll come out ahead just buying what you want.

That being said I rarely open product as sourcing a mint card is always cheaper. (over the long run, obviously you could buy a heavy 1st ed base pack and get a perfect charizard). Lotto listings are a more unregulated “pack opening”, and you don’t know if the seller has ill intentions.

This. I can’t stand it when i see listings with a title that says like “BASE SET CHARIZARD READ DESC” and the description says you have a one in 1,000 chance to actually get the card in the picture… Feel bad for the people who bought these without knowing what they were really buying.
so muggy

they do, but nothing will be done about it so I would spend my time on something more productive

No idea the option was there. Will use it from now on whenever I see something completely unrelated.
