Well Here's An eBay First Ever

A customer inquired, through eBay messages, about buying my BGS 10 1st Base Charizard yesterday. I explained to him that I wouldn’t sell it separately but my PSA 10 Charizard listed is honestly in even better condition than both the BGS 10s in existence. I included a link to that PSA 10 listing.

So what did I just get? An email from eBay stating I am being charged 250.00 for providing links in this message in order to deal off eBay. So I checked my sellers account and there it was…250.00 charge.
Just in case I went back to that message and checked the addy to my PSA 10 listing. It wasn’t good cause when I cut and pasted I inadvertently left off the last digit. It went to an item not active or removed eBay page.

Of course I’ll get reimbursed but I guess we should all know they’re paying attention.

Definitely useful to know that they have algorithms in place that will detect attempt to sell off eBay and immediately charge you! >.<
