Imagine being the poor dude who is having these cards sold by probstein, you see a $500 sale but only get $90
When it happens multiple times, one has to question whether something more is going on.

Millions and millions in sales per year and Probsteins exit scam is $3k

Yeah. Being a poor dude would suck.

Good news everyone!
Probstein got in touch earlier today to confirm my shipping for the cards. They have been marked as “shipped” on eBay and were processed without me having to pay as promised. I am now just waiting for them to reach me, but I assume they will be shipped tomorrow if they haven’t been already shipped today.
Despite all the trouble I am super happy to be getting the cards after all was said and done. This was the ideal solution for me and I’m glad I will have the cards over a refund.
I agree with posters saying the problems stem from poor organization and a heavy stream of demand. Without PWCC on eBay anymore, Probstein seems to be the biggest player with 20,000 active listings each week. There’s no doubt his operation must be huge and as a result customer service suffers and problems go unsolved. To be fair to probstein his communication wasn’t the slowest I’ve had with a seller, just slower than I would have liked for how big the problem was in my eyes. I think an extra person to help with emails and customer service might go a long way lol.
I will let you folks know if/when the cards reach me and I will share exactly what I won, I think they’re some really great cards. Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts and opinions, I was worried about trying to get the cards over a refund, but I’m super glad I stuck it through and managed to work things out. I can see why some people buy many times and never have a problem with Probstein and why others buy once and feel burned. It really is RNG with a huge seller like him, but he did solve the problem when things went wrong, and credit to him for that
I feel genuinely happy for you

In the first sentence it says intentional. You’d have the burden of proof that the act was intentional. Not saying probstein committed fraud. I believe he said in messages it was a mistake, but just saying fraud is a little bit of a reach.

Probstein123 received that package on January 18, and was contacted about it last week. If this was just a mistake, they would of reshipped the next day. A week later, still nothing.

In the legal world, one week is absolutely meaningless and not nearly enough to prove intentional fraud.

Well aint you cute

I’d avoid anyone with below 100% feedback.
I’d enjoy any buyer with this take avoiding me lol.
Hopefully this has a good ending

Sometimes, as a seller, you’ll do everything perfectly and the buyer will still leave a negative. Big disagree with the above.
I was under the impression eBay can remove malicious feedback?

Sometimes, but not always. And it may not be malicious, someone may leave a negative because you didn’t ship in -3 days and include a hand written thank you note.

You’ve got a little too much faith in eBay, which leads me to believe you’ve never had to speak to their customer service before lol
