Hello mate is there any chance you could email me individual photos of the cards please,
Will make payment once received photos if possible.
Thanks
Surely that’s a request you make prior to bidding, and then winning the item in question.

That’s stupid.
I had an extremely similar incident a few years ago and have since added to my item descriptions “Please ask any and all questions BEFORE buying.” Just to do whatever I can to dissuade this junk.
already proving to be a problem buyer and he hasnt even paid yet! don’t supply him with anything more
I’m going to look like a shill bidder if I relist though right?
Does the buyer have 100% bid activity with you for multiple purchases over time? That’s usually the only thing that isn’t coincidental.
Nope, but he’s bidding on my current listings.
Then I wouldn’t worry about it. Or if you’re concerned, block him and it can’t happen in the future.

Ah, didn’t know you could block buyers. I’ll see if he pays for this before doing that though.
That’s lame. I have had it happen before on BIN/OBO listings. Guys offered me $x, I accepted, and then they ask for more pics after we had negotiated on the price…
He actually ended up paying anyway!

That’s a relief.
Pretty lame what he is doing…
But I guess it depends how large and expensive a purchase it is… Ive asked these questions before and after the bidding just to calm my nerves. And make sure I know exactly what I’m receiving.
Usually on sealed video games or consoles I buy worth thousands, which I then send to get graded.
I’d expect the seller to give me the most up front clear photos, and pictures before I finalise the Purchase. Sometimes ebay limits how many to upload clearly to 12. But it’s usually enough. And some sellers take terrible photos.
I think the buyer has the right to request more info before paying.
And if they so choose to cancel, eBay has policies in place for this now. You can cancel the item, and the buyer will receive a red mark. That’s a consequence in place for this discerning nature.
Yeah I was actually at fault for only providing one photo as it was a bit of a rush job. Yet I expected the final winning price to reflect this.
The issue was - if you want more close ups, send a message prior to winning the item!
At least with my PSA listings they’re graded so need for loads of photos/scans.

Just send a couple snaps and see wat happens. There’s a chance he saw it late and didnt have a chance to message for pics first
Glad to hear it worked out
Buyers are all different so I always accommodate special requests and, in fact, welcome them.
