Seeing Cards I Own On ebay?

[mingemirl]

Specifically, this auction:

www.ebay.com/itm/1996-Pokemon-Charizard-6-Japanese-Base-Set-PSA-10-Gem-Mint-64994-/294540702271?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

I literally have this card on hand. What is this seller doing?

The seller is trying to scam people.

The seller is trying to scam people.

Any way to make sure he’s not doing it with my inventory? I asked nicely but we’ll see how that goes

Yep, it’s been discussed here - www.elitefourum.com/t/ebay-garbage/10286/7934

Same scam keeps popping every day from another stolen account.

He/She has a lot of feedback / I wonder if it’s a hacked account.

[hermit]

I have been reporting his listings. I don’t know why eBay has not permanently banned his account yet.

I would assume so, I have seen a few in the past week.

No I don’t think it’s an hacked account,
What I’ve noticed is eBay has a weird ‘glitch’.
so, a bit of a backstory to paint the picture;

I tried to order the 25th Anniversary s8a Japanese box set from a Japanese seller but noticed my shipping address was inaccurate so I sent the seller a message requesting they change it to the provided one and the seller informed me it would be easier to just cancel it.

By this time I’d already made the purchase, money was charged and the transaction was just awaiting shipping. the seller was able to give me feedback even though the order was cancelled and the money refunded. so now I have 1 positive feedback from a seller who the system accepts as a legitimate feedback.

So I’m suspecting it may not be an hacked account but it may be 1 user buying, canceling their own listings to build up false feedback.

Side note: Be careful ordering Japanese s8a 25th Anniversary boxes off of eBay. reason why I say this is I’m seeing the same photo of the same exact box in multiple listings. oddly, when one listing goes to “1 left /x-amount sold” the other listings with the same photo all change their quantities to “1 left” as well.

I am looking for Japanese s8a boxes with promo packs but I’m not feeling comfortable buying off of ebay, definitely some scamming going on.

[pentagon]

Ahh, didn’t know that- that’s really useful to know, as false feedback is really deceptive.

Yeah, that is probably not what was happening here, this user has 200K feedback

I just made a post in the eBay community forum about this.
when I’d noticed he’d still left me feedback and it was positive then that’s when it all clicked for me and it made sense why it was so many listings with the same box/photo in it.
I could be wrong but I’d rather be loud and wrong about this, but the way it looks - it’s a loophole.
