Is This Some Sort of Scam? 1959 Mays

Mays Auction
If you look at the seller's feedback as a buyer, it shows he recently purchased a PSA 8 Mays and PSA 8 Aaron. Now he's selling the same cards as raw 'NM-MT'. The original Aaron PSA 8 is no longer shown in the auction photo but the Mays is and it really looks like the same card as the one he's selling. Why would someone crack out PSA 8 star cards and sell them raw? His feedback is only 48 but all positive. Another red flag is he states he doesn't accept Paypal. Maybe a hijacked account?

Sellers DO NOT have to accept PP, but have to accept some sort of electronic payment.
he does not, so he is not following ebay rules.
Not a person I'd want to do business with, even if you get a deal on this card he prolly won't send it.
At best he sends back your dough at the worst he keeps both.

<< <i>If you look, the card IS in a PSA holder, he just TRIED to crop it out.....probably hoping that you didn't notice his recent purchase.

AGREED! And if you look at the left side of the card, just before the semi circle begins at the bottom, you can see that it is definitely the same card as the one that was recently purchased in the PSA 8 holder.
Someone mentioned that the current seller may have cracked, resubbed and gotten a lower grade and thus selling it raw. Another possibility ... the current seller stole the picture from the PSA ebay sale, DOES NOT EVEN HAVE THE CARD, TRIED to crop the holder out ... and its a SCAM!!!!!
STAY AWAY!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

That's the strange thing though. His feedback as a buyer does indeed show he purchased a PSA 8 '59 Mays and Aaron with positive feedback. Maybe he stretched himself too thin and is trying to rip people off to get some cash.

Dear cpetti5zuo,
This is the actual card and it is not in a PSA holder nor is it a borrowed scan. Thanks for your inquiry.
