Re: How to get yourself blocked on eBay by asking one simple question
While this particular buyer seems a bit unhinged and it’s normally a silly question to ask if a seller is selling the actual item or just a photo there actually have been eBay scammers that have sent a photo instead of the item.

Re: Ebay question -- raw cards for sale
<< <i>I'm not a professional grader----------This one always scares me.
