    @KLeinzz0xL Just a hobby. I buy cheap broken consoles on Ebay and fix them. If I don't have one I add it to my collection, otherwise I trade them into the game store or gift them to friends. This particular ps1 is going to a friend who's ps1 broke recently

    The amount of photos/post of cards being damaged leaving eBay authentication process is pretty wild. It feels like one of the bigger issues you see right now. Very expensive cards being destroyed. My understanding is seller loses the money and gets a damaged card returned.

    @the_Mont @nothowyouhoped NHL found out about the website and shut it down. Ebay is your only way. Good luck.

    @goodapoll0iv I like this. I bought Watchmen again off eBay years ago and I accidentally bent up the spin of issue 12. I paid over $200 for all 12 comics. I just needed what I owned as a kid. Got it back. Good read.

    @TugboatPhil @freddavelynn Years ago I bought several years issues of the American Rifleman magazine from the 1950s & 1960s on ebay. None of the mail order ads had zip codes.

    @cardofdreams I bought this from eBay years ago. 36 card display case that says UV protected. Have six full. Used to have on the wall but took down for safety reasons. They sit on the floor against a wall and nice to be able to access whenever.

    @renoipgp @natsturner It’s not about the loophole existing because it is 100% fact how the system is set up. I’m sure Nat worded it wrong or spoke without understanding the eBay system itself. Again, eBay isn’t his company who controls what goes to authentication. If someone wins a bid. They’d have to ask seller to cancel order so they can repurchase. Only then they can change the address before they repurchase. Not sure what buyer in their right mind would do that? They’d also have to have their P.O. Box and everything set up before delivery occurs. As a seller you lose ebay protection. If the seller asks buyer for address to manually change it seller gets flagged hard as they are strict with it. Seller then loses every right and protection, if buyer asks for a refund eBay would process that automatically and seller is out. Seller could also put it under wrong category which wouldn’t trigger any AG but again they have zero protection and any refund question it would process and buyer be out. So no the system isn’t fundamentally broken. Just like @natsturner could’ve misspoke on it, you are picking and trying to find anyway to dig to justify the slamming PSA eBay and the AG program because you don’t fully understand it yourself. I’m not knocking you in any way at all for the article. Personally, I fully dislike defending PSA on anything ever. I just want to make sure anything like this is accurately talked about. Since 90% of hobby beefs and drama that blow up viral are based on assumptions and misunderstandings due to non factual information

    @sirronhale @eBay bingo... i dont have this problem from the seller side. i have the issue from the buyer side. I stalk an auction for days and get what i think is a good deal.... seller cancels within 5 minutes of the auction ending. how convenient that the item is no longer available...

    @premiercards_2 @eBay As someone new to the hobby, I'm curious: why is this ebay's issue and not the seller? Was this authenticity guaranteed?

  • SpyTactics
    Forever (@SpyTactics) reported

    i did the design research and it was difficult, so I did something in the day, and I will do that other thing i was going to do soon also. When the ebay scam is delivered, if it is, I can try to resolve that, and that is basically the only issue of the month now?

  • MeatballsRedux
    I Am (Still) Meatballs (@MeatballsRedux) reported

    @renoipgp @eBay Thanks. Just saw your longer write up and was reading through it. I no longer see the automated feedback for the card. Does that mean the buyer realized the problem and has since opened a return / case?

  • NHbskraus

    @CardPurchaser and community I have a small problem. I bought a card on eBay that was shipped via eBay standard (with the ESU number) tracking says it was delivered but o never received the card. eBay denied my claim because it was “delivered “. I can’t file claim on USPS.

    @eBay @HollyTurbill It’s a waste of time Holly. It’s all just bots and automated responses when you have any issues with eBay.

    @eBay_UK must have the worse ever customer services. Have just wasted over an hour trying to withdraw funds from my account. I’m sure I would have no problems in using funds to buy on eBay. Doubt if I’ll use eBay to sell future items.

    @saltyalmonds_ @McFranchisee As a buyer, you'll get your money. eBay always sides with the buyer unless the item is drastically different than the description. Thankfully I haven't had any issues with buyers yet.

    Hi @eBay, another issue: an order shows as delivered but I never received it and can’t contact the seller. It’s been 6+ months. Please assist.

    @catholicncomics Same issue. @EthanVanSciver, you should check your eBay messages and sort this out.

  • TCGView
    TCG View (@TCGView) reported

    @crackthepacks The buyer had zero feedback and there was no eBay authentication. Even eBay backed him on this. It's either this or he rolls the dice and hopes it's not someone who will just do a chargeback, and people have definitely done chargebacks for stuff like this. It's a huge issue.

    @TheLazyArtist67 @NovineLeaks I hope Ebay also does something too bc if this does get take down, he might go back there

    @RandyTreibel @CardPurchaser You can’t directly message people on eBay unless they’re a buyer or seller. There’s no way to just casually have conversation with them. You’re just trying to stir up trouble and make something out of nothing.

    @washghost1 I have a 95 Bronco I am restoring. I have really been thinking of throwing down and buying one of these head units from eBay.

    @Royals_Cards I think eBay needs to change NM from “comparable to pack fresh” to something else. Terrible term to use, when many cards come out of the pack with a dent, ding, or scratch

    @cupcakecrypt On eBay, I don’t know any irl stores that would have any issues from before last year. But I also live in the poor part of America that doesn’t have any good stores

    I'm fully willing to correct any issues and comply with all eBay policies going forward. I take my seller responsibilities seriously and would value the chance to resolve this. Please DM me so I can share my account details securely. Thank you for your time.
