In summary of the thread, there were two people, one being myself, who had agreed to purchase cards from him. Cards were paid for, 2-3 weeks later, cards didnt arrive. There were shipping issues among other things that created the problem. Both of the buyers were refunded.
Not sure how the other deal eventually came out. Personally, I was still interested in the cards, but would not resend the money until I had the cards in hand since I had already done it and not received the cards. Was offered a chance to pay by credit card in advanced, but decided not to do it. Never heard another word.
Still am not sure about what actually happened and why the cards were never sent and why the seller wouldnt send the cards first since it was obvious I was willing to pay. Hope this helps
Edited to add: His CU id is "Gregwash"
Are you aware of this thread from a while back?
Based on what I read?
It appears they Greg is a standup guy - admitted he made some mistakes and wanted to make good.
Not sure why this took weeks to resolve tho? If the PO rejected the packages and returned to sender?
Why not do it right and get them out right away. I do feel like I'm not fully understanding the deal.
Also, I was just curious what kind of "value" transaction this was?

I don't know why all sellers aren't using tracking numbers these days. It is so cheap to do so and just puts everyone's minds at ease. Not giving a tracking number ramps up anxiety and gets a buyers imagination running wild. Not the best way to do business in my opinion.
Agreed, just use PP for shipping and tracking is automatic. On a card that big I would ship Overnight, which automatically has tracking. Hope it works out for you Ed. Big time card.
He stated in his response that he would do business with me and the other buyer. I responded that would be fine as long as I had a tangible address apart from his PayPal account where I could make contact if there were other issues. He never responded.
I see that he also deals in coins. I cannot comment on his character; in my case there were too many "red flags" and I chose (reluctantly) to terminate the deal. Hopefully others have had better luck in their dealings with Greg. It would be interesting to see if anyone in Indiana have dealt with him as shows as where he told me where he did most of his business and Internet sales were new to him.

I chose to ask for the refund as I did not feel comfortable with the manner in which the transaction was transpiring. I don't know anything about the seller's business practices and I am not going to use this forum to pass judgement. I hated not getting the Jeter, hopefully I can get another soon.

I don't think my emails were heated but if they came across too strong I apologize. This feels like a journey that has lasted 10x longer than it really has
I'm glad you finally provided the people here with an almost fully accurate assessment of other key facts. I've monitored this thread from a distance and I believe it's time for me to add to it. Ed has left out that while the picture was a wee bit fuzzy it does clearly contain the serial that has been verified on PSAs website. He has not fully paid for the purchase but I agreed albeit with some hesitancy to ship to bbce. His concern was a tampered holder even though the number was verified to be a true 10 Rice rookie. The first attempt was refused and returned. While it is true I didn't get around to providing the tracking before the return due to a matter he's aware of that I choose not to make public he did receive a picture of the box which was postal stamped. After some hesitance I agreed to stick with the terms and re ship to bbce. My wife handled that for me again due to a matter I don't wish to disclose and he was provided with a picture of the physical postal receipt. We have been in contact via email which I admit has been heated somewhat for reasons that I won't share publicly. I don't feel those heated moments are needed here. I do applaud Ed for coming here and providing this thread with the key missing info especially after one of the heated email exchanges.
Had to look this up - aren't we talking about a 10K card here?
Tracking number? A 10K card should be Registered Mail IMO.
edit: What's with all the bogus tracking numbers?

I'm sorry, but this entire situation sounds completely bogus. I hope you are made whole.
I agree with Tim.
My gut says he's "playing with your money."
He got money from you - had no intention of giving you a card - and when he has the dough refund your money.
I have no eBay experience with selling, yet when I collected thru paypal gifts over 5K for a member here?
I had no trouble sending him the money all at once.
I don't know him - this is just what I think.
edit: why not just ask him to send you a Cashier's check for the money from his bank account since he can't transfer it thru paypal?

Well said Mike. No problem with paypal gifts up to $10,000

Yes Dan...... Sorry I jumped ahead there..... The card never arrived. He sent me a tracking # that always came back No Record on USPS. My post office said it was never entered into the USPS system so it was apparently never shipped. He told me he would file the insurance or have the USPS start an investigation but would refund me. That was about 10 days ago.
Unless I'm missing something, what he is telling you is complete bs.
Peace,

> Hope you can get a refund, Ed!
Please no one send this scammer any more money!!!!!
I will be forced to start action soon
You mean, like this minute? Or, after a few more weeks of trying to convince everyone on the boards that you are hustling great deals for cards which can only go up up up?
Force action NOW.
And I do believe that most problems are best treated privately.
However, I have no problem with someone getting upset and looking for a bit of solace and advice here on our forum.

Exactly. Ed may have already saved other buyers from going through
the same thing he's going through.
