I appreciate that!

It was a CL ad, but the dude lifted the images from this Ebay auction: www.ebay.com/itm/Charizard-1st-Edition-Base-Set-Shadowless-1999-Pokemon-Card-4-102/122888225031?_mwBanner=1#vi__app-cvip-panel

Unfortunately didn’t find out till just after I paid when I posted it to the discord.

I’m sorry to hear that. I was just getting ready to write a lengthy and irrefutable document too;)

I wish it was you, that would have been super helpful - though I was in touch with the ebay user and I’m sure they’d write something if I needed it.

I just don’t even get the scam, I sent g&s - they never even uploaded tracking… I guess maybe if they do it enough someone will send F&F or something…

Paypal also said that if they don’t respond in 10 days (which I can’t imagine they will), it auto wins in my favor… May use what I get back to buy a consolation 1st ed booster pack and open it haha.

Have a read through this thread. @cullers does an excellent job explaining their underlying motives.
