Ohh, boards members. It looks like I have another really bid problem on my hands. I recenlty won an ungraded Goudey Buyback 33 Gehrig card. The package was mailed to me insured w/delivery confirmation. I am visiting my parents for my brothers wedding and opened this package in front of them only to find 2 Rasheed Wallace cards. After about 10 days of the seller claiming the item was mailed, she has now starting ignoring my e-mails. If anybody knows what action I can take, please comment and if anybody knows of anyway to contact this person, please PM me. Your help is greatly appreciated.

If this deal was done through PayPal, file a complaint. They have a category called something along the lines of "item differs significantly from description". If I recall correctly, you have the option of including images with your complaint. If PayPal rules in your favor, you need to mail the item back to the seller with delivery confirmation. After it's confirmed you returned the item, PayPal will refund the money.

i won a large lot of cards and the seller sent me a big box
of empty binders,3 boxes of wrestling cards,90 pro set,score football
cards.he sent with sign. confirmation and insurance.after i signed and
brought the heavy box inside my house for opening and found all this crap inside,
i filed the dispute for item not as described.i lost on both ends because ebay
said he had proof of delivery and basically it was his word over mine.1100$
to make matters worse 2 weeks later he's no longer a registered user,imagine that!
sure hope it works out better for you than it did for me!

If it's less than $20 go with a Paypal complaint (which you will probably lose)... more than that, just contact your Bank and have the charges reversed asap!

got a link to the listing??
I paid $715 for the card.

<< <i>Paid through Paypal Credit Card (Visa) I'm not ready to send out Username and item # yet. I'm trying to be fair to the seller, hoping for honesty. Will the fact that I opened the package in front of witnesses help my cause? The package came with delivery confirm w/insurance. Not signature confirmation. Will that have any impact on my claim? >>
"Fair to the seller?" Geez isn't it obvious, sorry to say, that you've been scammed. Sick the dogs on this mangy POS.

Under the PayPal scheme, the seller's claim of "simple delivery" would fail, absent SigCon.
However, you have now admitted to "delivery of something."
The correct way to deal with an empty envelope cannot now be employed. If this happens
to anybody else, ALWAYS assume the seller is a CROOK, and do NOT communicate with
them. File an INR, and a PayPal dispute. The seller will lose w/o the SigCon.
THAT IS NOT where we are here, though. IF the seller uses your emails saying that you
got "a package" the burden shifts to you to PROVE by a preponderance that the card
was not in the package.
Get affidavits from your witnesses. (Forget the parents part. Just use their names.)
Submit your affidavit and your witnesses' to PayPal. If they reject the claim, repeat
the process with your credit-card company.
IF the seller has had past problems, PP will be more sympathetic.
AGAIN, if this happens to anybody else: NEVER communicate with the seller, UNLESS
you signed for the package. Your simple position is that you did NOT receive ANYTHING,
and you will win any claim over $250.
For those who think that tactic is dishonest, ask yourself: Is it remotely possible that
the seller of a $250+ item simply 'forgot' to put the item in the envelope?
////////////////////////////////////////
Actually, it does not matter.
The PP cards are ALL "branded cards," issued, depending on when you got it,
by Providian, Chase or CITI.
#1. Their ebay contact # is no longer in service.
#2. They have had 1 feedback mutually withdrawn from ebay. (Feedback score of 58)
#3. I don't have a PP visa, but a BOA Visa.
#4. Isn't this a crime? Shouldn't the police be notified? This package was mailed from Ottumwa, IA small town.
Enough already, you are too nice... call BOA asap!
Good Luck,
Mike
You are now waiting for a scammer to do the right thing, the right thing for you to do is call your CC and tell them you have been scammed.

ebay i.d. clydecoolidge - Lots of vintage stars and HOFers, raw, condition fully disclosed.
one thing I am curious about is how much was the insurance, i.e. is the postage rate indicated somewhere on the package? I would be curious to know what they insured the package for.

The seller will be INSTANTLY NARUd, if EBAY is notified
that there is no contact phone.
You will then have a slam-dunk with PayPal.
I just got an e-mail after 3 days. She claimed that she was out of town. Insurance was full price. Doesn't matter at this point. Thanks for your help. Ottumwa, IA police will be called, too.
Some things of note. She told me that I have to mail to package to St. Louis for inspection so USPS can determine if the package had been tampered with. By the time that is done, I will have no ability to recoup my charges.
Card collecting can be amazingly frustrating at times.

Now that I am back in So Cal. I had to file a police report to the police in South Florida. It's been rediculous.

Here's an actual email from them....after telling me I was screwed, you've gotta love the last line of the email...
Next time, it's straight to the bank for me....no trust left in Paypal/eBay. (This was only a $20 item, with a seller with 1000+ feedback, who apparantly just went out of business and left everyone hanging.....)
