One says my prices are too high, another says they’re too low! I guess you just can’t win these days. This guy clearly knows my margins, cash flow goals and sales program better than me, maybe I should be grateful. I guess it’s just total coincidence he has recently listed a lot of the same cards as me but at higher prices :man_shrugging:

What should I reply?

“Glad you like my cheap prices, feel free to buy them”

I think it’s nice that he’s trying to be helpful but when people tell me pricing is too high or to low I just think to myself please go buy elsewhere if you’re not happy. It could also be that he has more of these in the psa pipeline and has a vested interest in last sold price.

Yeah if I have to get unsolicited messages about my sales practices I’d much rather receive ones like this than the last one. It’s just still the whole “you’re doing it wrong here’s my opinion out of nowhere” that gets me :man_shrugging:

Hey mate, thanks for looking out but I am happy with my prices. If you want I can notify you when they sell so you can adjust your prices accordingly.

It’s back today, folks. Looks like it was originally shilled and/or not paid for.

Never underestimate Registry Collector Syndrome

Yeah I really don’t agree with this. If someone is strapped for cash, then they shouldn’t bid/make promises they cannot pay, we shouldn’t suffer at the hands of their financial mismanagement. And as a seller too you could be strapped for cash, and relying on the idea that when your auction ends you get the money because you want to sell it, hence why you might’ve done an auction.

Overbidding & buyer’s remorse are still their responsibility. I never bid more than I intended to I always set myself a max bid ahead of time, and I don’t go for an item unless I know I want it, and I know I could always resell it myself and hold most of the value so I have no reason to feel remorse.

Returns are easy in stores as they should be, but you don’t get to return things on auctions IRL either. You enter a contract to purchase the item at a certain price from that person when the bidding concludes with you as winner, and because of the nature of auctions returns make much less sense. We as sellers are not responsible for other peoples’ mistakes and mismanagement of funds/discipline and don’t have to suffer at the hands of it. I also don’t see how online auctions are akin to gambling at all, you know what you’re getting if you win, you can decide how much you valuate it at, etc. They’re costing you money because of easily preventable actions and choices.

Lol wrong thread

Hello! Today I had a buyer with an address over 40 characters, is there any other way to do it which isn’t adding it on the “company” field? Thank you :slight_smile:

Just do the Japanese seller way

‘Buy from another seller at that price’

So here is a perfect example of why I don’t feel bad for customers who want to cancel items they won on auction.

Last week, someone made an offer a PSA 10 Reviving Legends Houndoom card I had listed. I countered, and they accepted. Later that day, they ask, “Will I get this in a few days?” And I tell them yes, I ship next business day.

Well, four days go by without them paying, and last night on the fourth day, they bid on a PSA 8 Team Magma vs. Team Aqua Houndoom auction and win it. They message me after the auction saying, “I didn’t bid on this. I have this in a 10. Please cancel.” They then proceed to message me for the PSA 10 card they had not yet paid for saying, “There is something wrong with my account. Please cancel.”

So they did this for TWO items in a span of four days.

Never feel bad for these types of people.

I’m guessing you’re in the US? In the UK we are told by ebay that most sellers accept returns so we don’t get much compared to you guys of customers doing stuff.


In fact most purchases online are protected by law that you can return without having to give a reason at all. Its long winded but happy to post for those that want to browse.
