How to Scam and Make $ on eBay...

[CharleyBrown]

I reached out to the seller again tonight, as I thought it was the best thing to do before leaving negative feedback.

They were very apologetic, and offered to either take the card for a full refund, plus pay for return shipping and PSA grading fees, or allow me to keep the card for a partial refund. I still am not a fan of the way they list and title their auctions, though at least they owned up to it in this case.

I say leave them a Negative.

I think they know what they are doing because:

1) They don't get the cards graded.
2) They have scans that don't show the flaws in the card
3) They have descriptions that are not accurate.

If you return the card or take a refund, they continue to get away with what they are doing. If you leave a Negative then maybe people will see that and think twice about bidding on their cards or bidding higher on their cards.

By paying you off, they are making money in the long run, as compared to getting a Negative for not accurately describing their cards.

If I were you I'd take the partial refund and leave a negative.

A nice fat negative with bad DSR's would really hurt them.

But I was watching this auction throughout, and have watched several others from the previously mentioned sellers. I cannot believe the sales price! This card is being adverstised with two hairline creases, which per PSA cannot grade higher than a 4 technically. That means this card cannot be higher than a 4, and could very possibly grade lower. However it sold for nearly $600 more than the most recent PSA-4 did.. it even got more than the last two PSA-5 T202 Cobb's!!! How???

Also interesting to note two of the high bidders have only bid this sellers auctions.. 100%. I hate to point a finger without knowing facts, but this looks really shady to me.

Here's another winner: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-Topps-M...-/320747273728 The guy actually says it's a reprint, but selling it in a fake PSA holder is just a bit much...

This guy must have a shill acct to because he has run of the mill o/c '55 ex commons going for $12+

Not sure if he is shilling but this seller is 4 sure. All the auctions are private.
