An eBay problem and call for advice from a quasi-neophyte

[slidekellyslide]

You got the card that was pictured...I think it's a stretch to say that he used his cunning to get you to pay more. Obviously you paid one increment over the underbidder who I'm sure knew it was an OC or he would have bid a lot higher. IMO you got what you paid for.

All that said he should accept your return, but I think you should also pay his ebay fees.

" I would be penalized monetarily for not paying attention and he would lose nothing"
seller loses $83.00 that he would have gotten from the underbidder if you would have just looked at the card.

Is it not everyone here on this board the same people that say PSA qualifiers automatically knock off 2 grades. That means he over paid for the card. Although he should have looked closer, the seller should have disclosed this as it is a major factor when determining prices regardless.

Andrew,

Check VCP. He paid well under the average PSA 6 ($147), a little under an average PSA 5 ($87) , and about $19 over a PSA 4 ($63). The two grade thing is not an exact science.

Thanks Jim I had not looked at VCP. I guess if thats the case then the buyer should have no quams.

The seller will be refunded all the ebay fees on a returned item. There is NO excuse for this seller to not accept a return under the stated circumstances.

I didn't know that...I agree that if the buyer isn't happy and the seller is willing to pay for the return postage the seller should accept it back.....but I really have little sympathy for the buyer here. I don't care how much of a hurry he was in..it took me one second to notice the card was way off center. I also think the seller should put the complete grade in the title of the auction....I suppose if I collected PSA cards I'd like to have that information as I probably wouldn't even click on an auction for a common card with an OC qualifier.
