When i ordered a celebrations charizard it got delivered in completely different part of US according to tracking, the seller never responded but i had no issue getting refunded through ebay. Really felt like underestimating a buyer/ebay if it was an intentional scam.

Think quite a few of us here could probably relate to this one

Anyone who hasn’t been scammed just hasn’t realized they’ve been scammed yet (or they aren’t buying anything). Even if you only buy slabs, Team Rocket will strike eventually.
Back in 2020 I purchased a collection for about $1700 over Kijiji (Canadian Craigslist)
The seller sent a binder of random XY cards.
Luckily I used PayPal G&S and got all my money back.
More recently I bought a no rarity chansey on mercari for ¥6000 and the seller sent a regular chansey (@needzeebs might have the chansey now lol). I just ate the loss as I didn’t want to lose my buyee account over it.

One time, Around 2015… I bought a raw 1st Edition Neo Discovery Umbreon on a Craigslist type website for a grand €85 which at the time was around 100 USD around the price of a Psa 9 at the time.
The seller send me extremely convincing photos that the card was indeed mint++ and seemed like a good guy who was genuinely liquidating his collection.
Enfin once the card arrived in my mailbox it ended up being Lp-Excellent and was clearly not the card he showed in the photos 
I messaged him about it and he started gaslighting me instantly.
My day was ruined back then & i felt horrible after that interaction. Fuck You @yannickdurbaca Respectfully.
I still have this card somewhere and everytime I see it I am reminded of this story xD.

I’m so glad I did the majority of my purchases before my generation took over.
