It's not a bad thing to be critical. This hobby of ours has attracted plenty of rotten apples over the years. Many of them create and/or sell counterfeit cards. I'm glad we've got a group like Net54 to help us spot the fakes.

Your experience with the eBay user is a separate (though, in this case, related) issue. Regardless of what someone is selling, their customer interactions shouldn't leave the buyer feeling as though they've been "raked over the coals."
