raw card grading in ebay listings

keating3620 · #1 07-25-2011, 09:31 AM

I agree that a lot of EBAY grading is way high and it hurts sellers like bobby that honesty rate their cards.

The other problem with Ebay is 1 neg feedback screws buyers/sellers. I tread lightly when risking a return neg feedback.

Sellers can no longer leave buyers a negative feedback. This has been that way for quite some time.

This is a joke, right?

Bobby, this isn't a joke, these are the FACTS:

• You sent in a '55 Bowman Willie Mays to PSA to be graded and it came back EOT.
• Then you tried to sell it raw on eBay without disclosing the fact that it was trimmed.
• When the buyer wanted to return it, you started threads on the PSA boards and Net54 looking for advice on accepting returns of raw cards.
• Everybody told you that you should accept the return.
• You were asked if you attempted to have it graded before you sold it and you said no.
• Then it was found out later that you did attempt to have it graded, so you lied.

Did I miss anything/leave anything out? If the events I stated above aren't true, please tell me where I have it wrong.

I made an honest to goodness mistake on one single solitary card. Out of 6,000 transactions, I made a mistake on ONE card!!!! You will never let me live that down, will you David?!?! You know what they say about people and glass houses, don't you buddy boy?

Getting back to the original question posed in this thread...

It's an interesting question. If I bought a card described as EX+ and it arrived GD/VG, I would probably ask to return it. And I would either leave no feedback, or pehaps a neutral (based on how the seller responded). I would also describe the problem in the brief number of words Ebay gives you.

Ebay has come pretty close to rendering their feedback feature useless, and this is one of the last ways to exert some influence with regard to potential future bidders.

Anyway, I would never give glowing / positive feedback to a seller who misrepresented a card that severely (raw or otherwise).

.

I got my very first negative feedback a few days ago from a newbie buyer who was evidently pleased with her purchase, but still left a negative..I've tried to contact her, but she won't answer my emails...I called ebay and they said I can send her a revision form, but I can only do this once so they said I should make contact with her first to see if she made a mistake before doing so. I guess I'm just stuck with her negative even though the guy on the phone at ebay told me it does look like she mistakenly gave me the neg...ebay sucks.

When buying raw cards from sellers I'm not familiar with I usually expect them to be at least a grade lower than stated and bid accordingly. If I'm still not happy with the card when it arrives I'll ask for a refund.

If it is a grade or two lower than stated in the auction, but I'm still satisfied I will just leave positive feedback stating something like "Quick shipping, card was a grade lower than stated in auction"

At least this way if future buyers look at the feedback they will know what to expect.
