What about this ebay situation?

A seller has two BIN/best offer auctions, they are both PSA 10's of the same player, year. I think one of the PSA 10's looks better centered, so I make an offer on it and its accepted. Today I get the card and from the PSA serial number its the one I didn't make the offer on.
The weird thing is, several days ago a thread came up here about this seller and apparentley he has a bad reputation that I knew nothing about, although I thought his feedback score was good.

So if you're an ebay seller is it okay if you have two identically graded cards to send whichever one you want to send or should it be the one pictured in the auction?

    No it is not ok. You bought a specific one.

    I'd email him and let him know.

    Thanks Steve, that's what I was hoping you'd say. I'll email him and see what he says.

    Ditto winpitcher. It could have been an honest mistake, but if this guy is known to have issues, it probaby wasn't a mistake at all. I can't believe all the semi-dishonest people in this world. I wouldn't do that. In the past, I have listed multiple items of the same grade for sale on Naxcom. When I sale one, I try to get my wife to randomly select one of the cards, because I don't want to be guilty of sending out a weak card in that particular grade.

    he is going to try and say that it shouldn't matter etc etc etc, but you know as well as I know that it does.

    Afterall if you wanted the one he sent, you would have hit the BIN on that one.

    Now unless he specifically states in his auction that he has multiples then he can send whatever he wants.

    Had he done it that way he would not have had 2 auctions though.


    Good luck getting this resolved.

    Ebay, never a dull moment.

    I just did the same thing as a seller. I shipped a different PSA 4 to a guy who won my auction which pictured the actual card. It was a mistake and I caught it when I was going through inventory. I emailed the guy, told him that I screwed up, and offered him either and I would pick up any an all shipping.

    Moral of the story: you deserve to get what you pick and pay for.

    So who is the seller?
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    WinPitcher is exactly right!

    In "theory" there maybe shouldn't be any high end or low end PSA 10's, all should be "perfect", but in practise of course there are high end and low end 10's. Despite the fact that he didn't send the card you bid on which in itself is NOT okay to do...the card he sent is probably classified as a low end PSA 10 and the card you won is probably a high end PSA 10 and definitely worth more money than the card he sent. Yes...Demand that he send you the card you won!

    Contact the seller, give him the serial number of the card from the auction you WON. Expalin to him he sent the wrong card (even though this was more than likely an intentional bait & switch) and let him know you would like the card you won. Ship his card back to him, whether he agrees or not. If he refuses to send the proper card, file a dispute and get your money back.

    In the end, it's all about principle and letting these shady sellers know that we won't stand idly by and accept their crooked conduct.

    If you paid with Paypal I would first contact the seller if they do nothing file a SNAD claim with Paypal saying you bought card #(whatever) and got card #(whatever)
