anyone have ebay dealings w/ surfcitycards
Just curious if anyone has had bad experiences with this seller. I currently have an ebay case open against him/her. To say the seller has been less than truthful with me is an understatement. Since he claims to have such a stellar reputation I was just wondering if others here have had any reason to doubt this sellers honesty and integrity. It seems as though I am filing cases now every other week against sellers for not shipping my merchandise in a timely fashion. I wonder if the curent evonomic conditions are to blame.

Hello, if you are not receiving items you won bids on, I can see opening cases. But, if you received the items you won, why open a case against the seller?

what my collecting friends and i think is happening with some sellers is that they put cards on ebay and then the cards don't garner high enough ending prices. they then wait until a case is filed and then simply make up excuses as to why they didn't ship the merchandise.10 days later the buyer gets a refund and the seller gets to put the card back up for sale. Power sellers with 40,000+ feedback can take a negative feedback comment once in awhile also , so they don't even sweat that anymore. Between this type of behavior and the shill bidding that is rampant, I'm surprised the price guides can reflect accurately how much some cards are even really worth.
Since the seller in my case has refused to respond to Ebay, but has emailed me with several excuses, I expect a refund in a few days and the card I won to be put back up for sale on ebay again. I will undoubtedly bid on it again though LOL, or have a friend bid on it if this seller decides to block me for some reason. i realize a lot of guys make their living selling cards, but Ebay is starting to give me that sour taste in my mouth that i got back in the early and mid 90's. A few bad apples can ruin it it for some of us I guess |

speaking of fakes. I have been gathering every PSA graded card I own that has a frosted looking mark on the holder. Does this usually mean the holder has been tampered with ? I own hundreds of PSA graded cards and am noticing that most of them have some frosting around the edges. Should I be worried ?? I bought most of my cards from very reputable dealers and auction houses, a very low percentage came from Ebay

Usually a whole side will be frosted. I think a small area of frosting is perfectly normal (1/4" or less). If you see that frosted look all up and down a complete side, I would be worried however.....

I would not bid on any of this sellers items again unless their customer service and attitude changed. it's unfortunate that the card I won from him/them rarely comes up for sale on Ebay.
