A buyer bought 5 cards, then opened a cancellation request the next morning, saying they wanted to ā€˜renegotiate a deal for more cards’. Extremely frustrating.

I’ve used this: Let’s consider that in the price of the additional card(s). That way we can keep this above board, and simple. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I’m pretty sure it was a lie to make me more willing to cancel :sweat_smile:

This was a fun one. I don’t sell a ton on eBay, but I guess lesson learned to not try to be helpful without directly being asked. :man_shrugging:

Clearly a chronic pessimist, which I can’t really blame them for in today’s world. I always prefer to look on the positive side, but whatever rubs your buddha.

Some of the worst buyers are the ā€œbestā€ sellers. Tho, they might be a great seller… But, I think not if they immediately assume the worst and write you a manifesto about it.

I typically send an invoice before payment, which avoids these types of things, but this buyer (xfixyourbrainx for those who care) had autopsy setup which prevented me from doing that. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that I did something unexpected, which I’ll learn from, but they certainly went from 0 to 100 real fast which made me regret my decision to sell stuff again pretty quickly. :laughing:

for pokemons in general most of the time the combined wont work out anyway b/c as soon as it is >250 you will have to ship separately to the authenticator

Yeah, I typically sell slabs so I don’t have to deal with this, haha. Believe it or not, this reaction was for about $150 of cards with no single card selling for more than $55, haha.

First rule of eBay. Never contact a buyer unless you have to.

In this case that extends to proactively sending partial refunds.

I’ve seen people unwittingly poke a bear too many times lol

Aren’t pre-orders illegal on eBay (against seller policy)? I can’t remember seeing sellers listing pre-orders for individual cards outside a retail shop… :roll_eyes:

Pre-orders are ok on ebay as long as your handling time reflects the pre-order timeline. You will get dinged by ebay if a pre-order goes beyond your handling time.

Two buyers that immediately asked to cancel after winning an auction. Do what you want with this information. I made it easy to copy/paste their usernames, comma included :wink:
