Deans cards and some eBay pet peeves

[autograf]

Put -reprint in your search and it will exclude all the items with reprint in the title.......

Thanks, I'm aware of that and since I found out about it I've been doing so, but it's still a pet peeve.

Welcome back, Neal.

[savedfrommyspokes]

My ebay pet peeve is when an ebayer has buyer's remorse and the ease in which this .001 of ebayers operate.....added one tool to my BBL a few years back for this and sure enough, he used his other/another ebay ID to circumvent the block and buy more so he could then.....guess what....ask to return some more cards. I do not comprehend the fact that if you disagree with a seller's subjective grading enough to return a card, why you would continue to purchase from that seller.

Over the years, I have had so very few returns of this nature (actually much less than 0.001%, however, two in the past week) that it is probably not worth the time I took to type this, but it is still a peeve none the less. In almost every case I have had a buyer's remorse situation occur, a quick google search of the buyer's ebay ID reveals a chronic habit of this discussed in a series of chat room rants.

In both cases this week these tools opened NAD cases, but because these they either offered no tangible reason for the return, or offered a reason/flaw that was clearly depicted/described in the listing, ebay agreed with my assertion of buyer's remorse and both slime balls are returning their purchases on their dime, not mine.

This was a game changer for me...I HATE all the reprint listings along side the real deal. Drove me nuts...

I've said it before, Global shipping is a ripoff and I dislike the "May ship to Canada" listing only to find out they don't.

Just had a seller cancel a transaction I won and paid for after she posted the shipping fee I asked for.

In her reply, after she provided the shipping cost and I made payment, she said they don't ship to Canada??

All toll, it was a $9.00 card including shipping, but it was graded and a card I liked.

I asked her why the change/cancellation after the fact but she has not gotten back to me.

Irv,
You should get a COMC account and have cards sent to your COMC mailbox in the US. They will then mail them to you from their Canadian warehouse... look it up at www.comc.com

Thanks Swarmee, I will be sure to check them out.

I appreciate the info!

Exactly...Ebay makes it so difficult for sellers to ship to Canada. All it takes is to get ripped off a couple of times via the "I didn't get my item" bullcrap to make sellers stop shipping there. Anything to make it easier for Canadian's to get their cards, I am all for.

All my cards to date have been purchased state side and I have yet to have a problem paying far less than what Global charges.

Not saying problems don't exist where people claim they didn't get their card, but I bet the same problems exist state side as well.

Just received this again from my transaction yesterday. Shipping went from $3 to $9.50 all of a sudden with some B.S. mubble jumble I can't understand? Needless to say, this transaction will be cancelled, again, as I think the seller has issues.

"we have a block on out of us buyers by ebay but it hasn't worked plus we didn't look at your address just assumed you were us buyer sorry if you want the card shipping as per usps is $9.50 to Canada"

Yes, this!

I live in Japan and its way worse over here, the vast majority of (card) sellers either don`t ship at all to Japan or charge like 30$-$40 just to ship a single card.

I don`t necessarily blame the sellers, USPS rates are out of their control and some might just feel more comfortable dealing with domestic buyers. But it is frustrating when I see a card I want but can`t have.....

That's a crazy price but I have seen $51 dollars just to ship one low dollar card here before!

I was looking at it on E-Bay (not logged in) and thought it would be a great card to purchase and noticed shipping was only $3.00 dollars. I logged in and the shipping went up to $51!!



I mentioned this in another thread but got no feedback. Long story short, when searching for particular cards or years of cards (52 Topps) in E-Bay, do you have to specifically type in exactly what you want to see?

I received an e-mail the other day from "invest in baseball" and noticed the cards were listed on E-Bay so I threw some early bids in on them via the e-mail.
I knew the first cards were ending last night beginning at 8:20 but when I entered through Leon's "post war" link at the top left, those cards were not there despite there only being about 10-15 minutes left?

I typed in 1952 topps in the E-Bay heading and there they were, ready to run out of time?

My question is, are there different auctions going on at E-Bay, (even though 52 Topps cards are post war) that can be ending around the same time? It surprised me these cards didn't show up even though other post war cards that I could see were ending around the same time?

If I never typed in what I did, I would have sworn the cards were removed or the auction stopped for some reason?

Sorry friend but its such a pain in the rear to ship outside the US. Thats just how it is which makes me a US seller only for sportscards. Do you have a friend in the US? I see lots of people get stuff mailed to friends and once they accumulate the friend throws it in one big package and off it goes. Wish you the best.

Not disputing your claim, just don't understand how it is such a PIA?

90% of the cards I have purchased (30+) have come from the U.S. and I haven't had a problem yet with shipping or receiving my cards.

My only gripe, which has nothing to do with U.S. sellers, is usually the price it costs to ship up here and sometimes getting stung for duty.

Global shipping is by far the worst and I won't even look at sellers cards if they use Global.

Just curious why, for some, they have no problem shipping up here, but for others, such as yourself, they find it a pain or a hassle?

I`m kind of curious in what way is it a pain in the ass? Do buyers from some countries cause trouble? Or is it just a pain to calculate the different shipping or deal with the Ebay program? Or does the USPS give you trouble?

There are a few Ebay dealers who will ship to Japan at a reasonable price and I am happy to give them all my business, but sometimes I`ll see a card they don`t have which I want from another seller and that "US shipping only" barrier is just a pet peeve of mine (to each his own, I`m not criticizing sellers who do that for their own reasons, but from my point of view it is a pet peeve).

I also think its kind of self-defeating for the seller since they are basically passing up what would otherwise be a sometimes quite significant sale every time that happens.

COMC has a mailbox service that will collect your deliveries in the US and then package them all up and mail in one box overseas. Worth looking in to, and also has 12 Million cards for sale (12,000 are mine).
