Ugh. Just had a guy make an offer on a book that I accepted. He instantly turns around and asks to cancel. Well, I have a few days to let it hang out there. Let him squirm. I will cancel it, but hasnāt responded to my message as to why he made an offer and then backed out right away.
eBay buyer name is antdesimone8
I think these are the types who go around putting in offers on same book and when they get the score on lowest first they cancel the others where sellers accept.
I have had more cancellations lately than ever before.
Anybody notice Ebay changed the Summary page layout ?
I just ask that if you buy and collect comics you know the grading system and that 9.2-9.4 does not mean 10.0 and no flaws at all. That very very very .5 mm stress line is allowable
I would argue that the majority of collectors or flippers etc do not know how to grade.
It doesnāt help that the grading companies keep shifting the goal posts as to what defects actually affect the grade.
'Ol Poyo says all his books are precious and perfect 13.0 gradesā¦ or do I say 12.0ā¦ I canāt even keep track of my own grading scale nowadays! 
Well this is why I hate eBay. Guy said I sent him an empty box. I personally package all my comics. I sent out a ton of Superman 10 cent adventures copies last week. I have none here. Guy said box came empty. Needless to say he said people like me should not be allowed to sell on eBay. Yea someone with 100% positive feedback with 2500 positive feedback and a member since 2002.
I refunded him. Screw it. But I blocked villajorge
Sounds like a real winner thereā¦ itās people like him that shouldnāt be on the effing internet in general!
Blocked. I wish there was a way of getting this out to literally every seller of comics on Ebay. Thatās just B.S. and he knows it and knows heāll get away with it.
Sorry to hear that. Thats super shady. I blocked them as wellā¦but he got away with it and Iām sure will make another account and do it againā¦
Eh. I am out the comic. Really. I loss. I would have sent my personal copy to him but he was an ass.
Blocked that guy. Iāve had buyers pull that same crap with me.
That sucksā¦ perfect example of why Iāve never tried reselling on eBayā¦ Iām just certain that Iād have to deal with buyers that try to scam me out of my books like that. Sorry dude.
I havenāt had any issues with buyers in some time. Several years at least, though Iāve probably just jinxed myself. My point is you hear the horror stories but not all the uneventful transactions.
I realize a lot of you probably have used Shop Pay (payment through Shopify), but have you ever used the app? They just released a feature where you can follow the stores you normally visit, and then your āfeedā populates with new items from your favorite stores.
The other cool featureā¦if you are like me, you forget which comics you order whereā¦. This will track all of your orders regardless of which shop you order from. And give you a little map of where your item is.
Not sure how known this is as it just released, but I thought it was really cool because the shops I normall frequent (Gemini comic mailers, toss comics, scout comics, etc) auto populated to my feed.
Yea for every one sale thatās a problem there are a hundred that are not. Itās easy to look at this thread and think oh man eBay is a mess but itās not. Itās probably less than 1% of my sales have a problem with the buyer.
I love the Shopify app. Handy for keeping track of stuff.
I agree, its just those ones are really frustrating because they are most likely scammers who get away with it. Just wears on you! Statistically though, Iāve had thousands of sales and only a few who were bad. On the other side, Iāve had a few things go wrong on my end (mostly inventory snafus), which Iām sure the buyer isnāt excited about thinking they bought something and turns out they didnāt get the deal they wanted.
I can only imagine itās more of falling prey to buying things you really donāt need in the first placeā¦
