A buddy of mine paid 8 grand for a 1958 Topps Ted Williams PSA 10. Sent money through paypal, seller sent a package with delivery confirmation and return receipt. I was there when he opened the package and got two Upper Deck golf cards. Paypal wouldn't do anything about it because of the return receipt. The seller's address turned out to be fake and the scan was stolen. Looks very much like the case you're dealing with here.

This is one of the worst stories I have ever heard. I am shocked that Paypal did not stand behind the guarantee. Do you they expect us to all take videos of the box being opened?

egbeachley posted :Question: If Paypal protection can be used if the card is fake, then why does having a Return Receipt make a difference?

I am wondering the same thing. Seems like any way you slice it the buyer could be screwed..

T206 collector - I got off the comp last nite before I could post more info of the site. It was antiques.com. And yes...the seller is in Russia. Please see my previous posts as to why I would even think that this was worth asking about (paypal protection)

Also you can see that the pics the guy has were taken with a phone (his reflection is seen in both pics lol) and not stolen from the auction website. But still super duper shady nonetheless. I know.

Maybe the card was stolen somehow in a previous scam or something. Now it is being offered for sale at a discount outside the US since the card is stolen??
Guess only the original owner of that card can tell if it was stolen/scammed away at some point.

I would like to also know why PayPal did not protect the buyer as mentioned before just because the mail was registered???

Do you think he has a rookie card? Perhaps in T206 style with a ... Polar Bear back, of course.

The odds of a deal from Russia being legitimate are only slightly better than being the lone beneficiary of a Nigerian prince's fortune.

Probably should have mentioned the Russia thing in post #1.

That would have been the first and last post of the thread.
