I usually sell cards and tickets in the $5,000 - $70,000 range.

Today I have some auctions going, I managed to get a 110% deal on them but it's the last time I sell anything over at Goldin, I have decided to transfer my sales over to Probstein instead.

----------UPDATE!----------

I have to take my hat off as I was contacted by a representative from Goldin, they have listened to my concerns.

I have always had a good cooperation with Goldin in the past and after this conversation I feel that we are back on that track.

This proves also that Mr. Goldin cares about us slightly smaller players in the hobby, a big star to him and his staff and thanks again for taking the time to contact me, I appreciated it a lot!

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy things worked out for you. But when I see posts like this, I think of band-aids. A person has an issue, they express their pain and injury, a band-aid is applied, they are happy, then it's back to normal business again. Consistency is important. Again, happy things worked out for you!

Yes, I'm satisfied that a good agreement still can be reached.

What bothers me now is that the payouts are lagging behind, Goldin writes in its terms and conditions that payment is made no later than 10 business days after the buyer has paid, I still have not seen the smoke of any money and we have passed the 10 business days mark from my last auction.

As a sports card and memorabilia dealer I need a constant cash flow, I can't wait several weeks, in some cases months for a payout after the buyer has paid.

And the Goldin customer service just sends out an response that they can't do anything about it, not what I'm used to!

Many years and never had an issue with Goldin shipping. If I grab a 250$ item I don�t expect it will be the most important thing on their agenda the following day to move out the door.

Also have never had any problems with either shipping or payments, but since they were sold to eBay the processing times are longer, at least when it comes to payouts.
