Well, who wants to start? I'll go first. How about this line:
"I will start the auction at $9.99; but will withdraw the auction if reasonable bids are not made". Well, at least the auction is a "no-reserve" auction.
Let's move on, shall we. Only $9.00 to ship the card? Well, that seems within reason to me. Again, no intent to circumvent ebay's fees there.
How about the dreaded "Please add 3% to total if using PayPal". To quote Fletch, "I'm not even sure that's illegal anymore."
Then the description: "This is a well centered card with . . . ". Ay yay yay. I guess this explains the reason he felt the following disclaimer was necessary: "All information listed is intended to be as accurate as possible, but errors are possible. No item may be returned or refused based on this information which is provided as a service to our customers."
This doesn't even include the fact that the "card is priced in most guides at $160, but goes higher in the market place, especially since it is graded."
And what a stellar trim job this one has. I guess PRO has no OC qualifier.

<< <i> Late remittance for purchases revokes all Return-Restock privileges. >>
What? So, if you pay "late" (and what exactly is late?), then you can't return this beautiful gem? He'll still take your money, you just have no return ability anymore. Too many rules - this guy needs a clue.
Is the top of that card missing? 6.0= 60% of the card present in the holder???
I share those sentiments exactly.
