PayPal won’t accept more than $5000. Lists it for $8500.
“If you can trust me.”

Is there any way to stop all the people selling their Unlimited Metapods coming up when I search for 1st edition or Shadowless? This bothers me almost as much as all the proxies.

There is currently someone selling what looks like an entire unlimited Jungle set card by card and they all come up no matter what I seem to search for.

If you want to remove certain search results, you can try to add “-searchterm” to your search (where searchterm is what you don’t want)
For example: if you search for “Base set Charizard -shadowless”, results with “shadowless” in the title will not be shown

huh, never knew you could do that. this will be hugely time saving. thanks

Sometimes people make you not want to even sell on ebay.

A bit of context, this buyer bid on one of my items on the 1st of November. He then tells me that he cant pay and to cancel the order, I dont see this message until today as i have to process 130 orders to post and it was the weekend so when I see it I cancel his order.

He then sends me this message

and leaves me this feedback

Im not sure what the problem with this one was i didnt send him any payment reminders and i did not message him asking him to pay it simply was the weekend.

Holy shit. That’s infuriating. Call up eBay and get the feedback removed. Any reasonable rep will remove it for you.

^^ Please report to Ebay and give us an update on this idiot.

This thread making me question every negative feedback I see on a seller :face_with_spiral_eyes:

The vast majority of totally idiotic feedback (i.e., the feedback rob0507 got) you can easily get removed. So if a seller has negative feedback, it’s likely that it wasn’t idiotic. Or they just weren’t persistent enough to get it removed. I got negative feedback once for a comparably stupid reason as rob0507 got his, and all it took was calling up eBay and telling them the situation. So you can trust most negative feedback you see, I think.

It’s a matter of quantity… 100 positives and one negative? That’s fine

10000 positives and 10 negatives? That’s fine

5 positives and 3 negatives? stay away

I have only gotten 1 negative feedback ever and I did not bother fighting it. Honestly would’ve been a waste of my time. I was on like a sub $10 card and the guy didnt even message me. Just left neg feedback that it was damaged. Like obviously i would have rather taken the $3 loss and sent him a shipping label to send it back to me but the damage was already done. Obviously the card could’ve gotten damaged in the mail and was not there when I sent it but it could have been. Since that I have been more cautious about how I list condition. Sometimes you live and learn.

In @rob0507’s case, that is def unwarranted and should be removed. I would report the buyer as well and at this point hit him with an unpaid strike. He cant do any more damage so put him on the block list and let him get his deserved unpaid strike.

Update on this one, Have reported the buyer and Ebay has removed the negative feedback.

im so confused what are you selling

Don’t you know that if someone sends you an email, PM, or chat message you’re supposed to respond within halve an hour, even if it’s the middle of the night for you. No time to respond because of the weekend, ha rubbish! /s

In all seriousness though: why are there so many f-ing idiots who buy items they don’t have the money for. I really don’t get it. :confounded:

Greetz,

This is mostly crap from buyers but as a buyer myself, I’ve gotten plenty of garbage from some sellers. This seller reached out with this after I bought a card for 80 bucks.

At least he offered to let me wait for him to get top loaders instead of shipping it in a sleeve but the fact that he thought I might be fine without a top loader makes me cringe. I also let him know to ship it to my new address as I just moved right after buying the card which he agreed to and lo and behold a couple of weeks later it shows shipped but isn’t in my mail box. I check on ebay and it was shipped to my old address. I let him know it was shipped to the wrong address and got this reply.

Fortunately I have the number of the new owner so I picked up the card a couple of days later and find out the “MINT” card has a large indent across the back of the card as if the edge of a book got dropped on it or something as well as a big indent on the corner of the card. Packaging was fine so must have been before the seller sent the card. Let the seller know and got this response.

15 bucks back on an 80 dollar card that should have been mint but is heavily played. How generous :unamused:

For the record, ‘I moved please ship to my new address’ is a very common scam.

The seller is only protected if he sends to the address on file, otherwise, you can get a full refund from ebay by just selecting ‘Item never arrived’

They will check, see that the item was sent to a different address, and refund the buyer.

The second you asked to send the card to a different address I would’ve canceled the transaction, and added you to my blocked buyer list.

I changed my address on ebay to the new address so the address I asked for it to be sent to was the one on ebay it’s just because I changed the address after the purchase date of the card but before he shipped it so I didn’t know what address ebay would tell him so I was just confirming my new address.

Regardless, the seller was completely fine with it and didn’t have a problem but admitted to just basically forgetting.

Never ship to a different address, doesn’t matter what story buyer has or if they say they added the address to ebay.

It’s also unfair to ask the seller to send to a different address. It’s like saying ‘Hey, mail me the card and I’ll decide whether or not to pay you when it shows up’

Look, this was a one time scenario give I was moving and my move date got unexpectedly moved up by a few weeks. The seller agreed to it and was fine with it. And it was the new address on my ebay account which I changed as soon as I knew I was actually moving. People move and you need to change your address and this was the one card that was bought before I moved but shipped after. If he didn’t want to ship it to the new place he could have said no. And the card was already paid for.
