Canceling an Ebay Transaction as the Seller

Posts: 104
A few days ago I sold some cards on ebay, but I feel I could have turned
a much larger profit on the cards. I know its unethical, but is there a
way to cancel a ebay transaction without getting permission from the
buyer? He hasn't paid yet even though the auction ended on Tuesday
night. I have a 100% feedback and would hate to get dinged, but I
feel like I took too much of a hit financially on the auction. Thanks
for your opinions fellas.

You can request to cancel, but buyer would have to agree before the auction is actually cancelled
you can always refuse to sell, by returning his payment, but probably get a negative and stars dinged across the board.

On a normal day, at least average, perhaps a 50+ thread. Just too much going on today though. People too mentally fatigued to reply.

So if you were the buyer how would you feel? You must complete the transaction in my book. You win some and you lose some.
Oh wow Larkin cards already deflating; what a shocker. LOL.
Sounded to me that his was not the type that got 227.00.
So, I'm thinking he feels his version (whatever that may be) should have done better.
I could be completely wrong, wouldn't be the second time.

his cards oughta be worth a small fortune.
Like Bobby said you might have actually done well and a few weeks from now when the hype fades you might be lucky to get what you actually sold it for.
Don't be a tool and complete the transaction.

I think your right Steve.
Also sounds like the seller is looking at the prices of the card and going by the one that went for the most and declaring that as it's value in his head, thinking why didn't I get that.
Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
The Barry Larkin cards are not decreasing in value by the way. Check out the Topps Tiffany
card that is ending in a couple of hours. Its up to $133.00
The VCP info doesn't apply here. Obviously, his cards have exploded in value the last few
days so comparing past VCP isn't very useful.
The few Topps Tiffany's that sold are fetching over $100 and like I said I'm amazed that
the 1987 Fleer Glossy went for $227.
ago I tracked that card for about a year and a half and very few came up for auction at
a PSA 10.
point Bobby was trying to make. Not, sales from over the past 3 years.
In any event, good luck in whatever you choose to do.
I have no ax to grind here and could care less what Larkin cards do but when you have 100's of thousands of copies there is not enough buyers to support the current prices and once the bids dry up the prices collapse.
What many are forgetting is this is the first card that I can see in the Hall of Fame run that has an enormous supply of Mint cards so no other rookie in the Registry run of Hall of Fame baseball players can even be used as a comparison.
I think these events are great for the card market because it creates activity. I just realize the imbalance between supply and demand.
There are only 124 PSA 10 1987 Tiffanys
There are only 35 PSA 10 Fleer Glossy.
Here is the problem right here.
1987 Fleer
Anytime you can buy lots this large of a raw card it is not going to worth anything major in a high grade.
If someone wants to invest in Larkin per say the only card perhaps with a shot is the Topps Tiffany but I still suspect just like Roberto Alomar the pop will fade and it will be back to business as usual.
The same thing I remember happened when Ozzie Smith went in. His low grade stuff popped hard and then within a week was back to normal. Now his rookie is a much different story with very few in great condition and registry collectors for the Topps set itself so high grade specimens are still worth a lot and I suspect are going to continue to appreciate over time.
<< <i>Keep in mind the reason the total is so low is most did not think Larkin was worth grading. Just wait until the major EBAY sellers send their's in and watch the population explode.

Is this your Larkin RC PSA 10 X3 Auction?
If this is your auction then I think you are crazy to believe you are going to do much better breaking that up now. I think you may get closer to $330 tops splitting these up but is that worth a negative? If this is not your auction this please point us towards what you sold because I am not seeing anything else that could be your auction.
The cards that are in high demand are the 87 Topps Tiffany
and the 87 Fleer glossy.
NOT the base cards from those sets. Edited: (not the regular issue cards)
You are comparing apples to oranges, yes, after a while those that have or want them
will have or want them and the artificial price will subside.

lmfao.

Yes that is the auction. Just do the math:
Topps Tiffany can get at least $150
Fleer Glossy can get at least $225 (remember its a pop 35)
Sportsflics can get at least $40 (I think this card is Larkin's true rookie card and way undervalued)
So your talking a little over $400.
The base Bonds card had something 30,000 graded so even though there are a lot less, there are still a ton of the Glossy card. Larkin was never collected and is very few peoples favorite player or even one of them.
High prices bring supply if it exists and in this case it does.
Keep in mind many of the out of the range sales never get completed due to non paying bidders. I wait to use those as a potentially real sale until I see feedback on either party. If none is left on either side withing 7 to 10 business days it is most likely a non paying bidder and that card is coming back for sale.

You are taking the highest amounts these have gone for recently and think you will also get that? Have you been selling on eBay for a while, because that is not the way it always works. The Perfect Storm and sure you will get $400+ but you seem to be ignoring the fact that everyone and their moms are gonna be subbing these cards now.
Stiff the buyer, take the neg, resell these individually with new BINs and within 10 days lets see what has happened. I will bet you $100 to your $20 (nice 5 to 1 odds) that you do not sell all three of the above at those minimum prices since you are so confident you can.
Interested?
ended at 133.50. Didn't move at all in the closing seconds.
the seller through in the following cards to entice buyers. Perhaps
that inflated the final selling price:
BGS 9 1989 Donruss Baseball's Best Randy Johnson
BGS 9 1989 Donruss Randy Johnson
BGS 9 1992 Bowman Manny Ramirez FOIL
BGS 8 1988 Score Rookie/Traded Roberto Alomar
BGS 8 1997 Bowman Chrome Sean Casey
BGS 8.5 1987 Donruss Rafael Palmeiro
BGS 8.5 1988 Score Rookie/Traded Craig Biggio
BGS 7.5 1986 Fleer Update Barry Bonds
<< <i>Brendan I will sweeten the pot and post the same odds. >>
Great minds think alike.
Damn the OP is already changing his mind. Honestly I think you did well getting $300 for all three in one BIN. I would now switch to the train of thought that you should be hoping the buyer pays you soon before they come to the conclusion that dang a bunch of these are gonna start surfacing on eBay soon driving down the price.
He has lots of positive feedback.
You are not exposing anything that anyone here
has not known. My point was simply trying to show you that
we were talking about Tiffany and Fleer glossy cards, not regular issue
cards.
I think we will see another round of hype when he actually gets inducted this summer.
At least that's what happens in the past.
