As altered, trimmed, or another reason which even a reputable seller may miss and which won't show up on even a good scan. I've got burned once like that by a reputable seller (more than made up by for by buying other ungraded cards at a low price, getting graded, then selling). I sent in the card 6 months after the purchase, so it wasn't realistic to try to get a refund.

Perhaps you can state on your website that you will guarantee your raw cards as gradeable for 6-12 months after purchase plus paying the card grading fees if a card doesn't grade. I would think such a guarantee should satisfy the objections voiced here by people who prefer graded cards.

The responses indicate at best you're limiting yourself of potential buyers, at worse, you're going have to discount much more than the card grading fees to sell a card. That has been consistent with my observations of raw cards sold on Ebay.
