eBay Headaches

I would reply with something like… “All my comics in my opinion are perfect 20.0’s… I’m not however CGC nor work there, you’ll have to send them my pics and ask them! Buy the book, not the potential label!”

I had someone asking similar questions a few weeks back.

Should have told him slabs are worthless…especially 9.6.

Would think he could get it in 9.6 for less a than $75…no body wants 9.6. Better to keep it raw.

No body wants slabs right now except staple books. Modern market is cheap now. I should do a CGC blow out post again. Seeing bargains across the board.

I probably would have asked him why would he want to send a book to CGC when they’ve been clearly damaging books upon encapsulation.

I’d probably get the Gen Z response…(silence….then on to another unrelated question….)

Im still waiting for that one guy that tells me “yea but the label says …”

Is there a cement head emoji somewhere?

I will tell buyers in my listing what I think the grade or grade range is but I also have a disclaimer stating that grades are subjective and I can’t guarantee any of those grades, and I certainly can’t guarantee any of them if sent into a professional grading service and then tell them to take a good look at the photos and read the description carefully (as most of you do as well). Better to have those disclaimers in a listing than not, just incase the buyer overreaches and becomes a problem.

Ok, so check this out. So once ebay closed the case I haven’t heard from him since. Up until that point he was messaging me a few times during the process. Once the case was closed I thought about blocking this individual because the whole process left a bad taste in my mouth, particularly how he waited exactly one day before opening a case on me. He never contacted me before opening a case and once he did he messaged me for updates every couple of days. I forgot to block him, I thought this case was done.

Today just a few minutes ago I got an offer for a comic. Two different offers actually, I accepted them both. As I looked over the order details I noticed a name that looked familiar. Of course the name was familiar because I’ve been dealing with him the last couple of weeks. It’s the same guy lol.

Had I known it’s the same guy I most obviously would not accept the offer. It could all be above board and he may have put this behind him however, he’s someone I do not want to deal with based on our interactions. At this point the sale still says “it’s awaiting payment”. Is there a way for me to cancel the order before he pays? I have never canceled an order before and don’t intend to but it hasn’t been paid yet and I really don’t want to deal with him, regardless if there’s any shenanigans involved.

Edit: can’t cancel order. The book I listed has many extra copies lol

For spite should be an option to cancel an order…

Apologize for canceling the order as you had intended to block him due to his less than impressive way he approached the last sale. Just be honest!

I don’t know why I’m dragging my feet on this. The whole process of canceling an order makes me feel icky. He still hasn’t paid yet. However, I’m bracing myself for my first ever negative feedback from this guy if I go along with this sale :frowning:

Against my better judgment, I did an auction (I NEVER do auctions) on a trading card I acquired and was unsure about the value of. I had someone bid on it but at the last second someone else outbid them by five bucks. A brand new account (which isn’t always bad, we all were new to eBay once). I mesage this account as I do anytime someone buys anything from me to thank them for their purchase and get zero response. I message the next day if they have any questions about paying I’m happy to help. No response. I suspect this is someone sabatoging me as the same card was listed by other folks for more money. I don’t want to wait to open a, “Buyer didn’t pay,” case within another chunk of hours as it is a clearly some kind of fake account. I simply cancel saying I noticed a problem with the address as eBay will let ya do. I relisted, told the person who got outbid that I had the item now listed as a, “Buy it now,” for what they bid. They bought it, and off it went. I just hope it arrives safely to them now. Long story short, I feel zero remorse for my cancellation. ZERO! You should cancel, @SpicyWasabi and never look back!

You guys are not going to believe this lol :joy:

So I went to go cancel the order and to block the individual. I then noticed the buyer ID is different (?) Did this guy make a new account? What is going on here? I then see that this new buyer is in Canada. What are the chances it’s 2 completely different people with the exact same name :joy:

This is the original buyer who opened the case on me. Take a look at the name and user ID. I blocked out the last 3 digits of his name and zip code. He was from Los Angeles.

This is the new buyer. Look at the name and user ID. He’s from Canada.

Looks like it’s a false alarm and they’re completely different people who both happen to have the same first and last name and likes comics. :joy:

Good luck with the sale all the same. Also, damn My USM 13 just will not sell

Odd, I have 4 copies of USM 13 up and have now sold 3 already within the 2 or 3 weeks.

What are you listing them at?

I think I sold a few originally at $20 + $7 shipping. It then sat for a while so I had them for $15 +$7 ship just to get rid of it.

Mine neither. But I’m going to list all my USMs in a multiple issue listing and try to move them. I’ve sold a number of issues, but that one may need to be paired with others.

Mine have been sitting at $12 with no movement.

I don’t see it actively listed…but I see you’ve sold 2 copies.

Is this you?

I got a negative feedback once for like a $5 comic…and it was for something really ridiculous….person never even reached out to me…found out months after the fact. I would have just refunded them. It falls off the radar after 12 months.
