Re: Ebay Authentication Thoughts
Exactly. And just because a card is from 2018 (just using that since the OP mentioned that year) does not mean it has not been trimmed / altered, in a counterfeit slab, a blatant counterfeit (every year of cards is being counterfeited - look at ETSY listings), not in the condition as described by the seller, etc. Many… -
Re: HELP with this Gold Coin? Is it Authentic?
If I understand the latest story, the original one about inherited coins was a misdirect so as not to tip off the potential deal. Those coins were then supposedly sold. Then, the scammer came back with a "new" coin which the OP posted on this thread. If the above is correct, it was a little bit of fibbing to try to keep… -
Re: New Ebay Payments Can you still use Paypal?
No, you won't, because the carrier delivered the item. The buyer (scammer) is a thief. Carriers only pay insurance claims if in fact the item is not delivered and/or signed for (lost). Once ebay forces managed payments, I will just sell directly to buyers I know and trust or consign my items for sale. -
Re: dumb question-2nd chance
How did the scammer know who you were? You were identified as bidder 2? I was under the impression ebay did away with the names and went to bidder 1 etc so people would not get phony 2nd chance offers. Did I misunderstand you? SD -
Re: Can you tell me if this Baseball is the real deal?
You should stamp "FAKE" "REPRINT" or "FACSIMILE" on the ball or hole punch / burn it so that it does not fall into the hands of a scammer who will pass it as authentic to a novice collector. Never again will the hobby be the same because your son and dog gave the ball an aged appearance. This has clearly ruined the hobby. -
Re: Second chance offers on ebay
RYK: You got him on the hook now. Time to reel 'im in. You might want to check out 419 Eater for some good tricks on how to bait these guys along even further. It's for the typical Nigerian scammers, but I think it is good research for your mugu. Have fun! -
Re: 1954 Topps
Paypal does have scammers, but if you put delivery confirmaton on every item you sell, you get rid of a lot of problems. I, actually prefer it when people pay me via Paypal. It's easier than going to the bank for a cashier checks. Of course I am not a powerseller. -
Re: I don't care what anyone else said Plante23 is a JERK
Well, I'll tell ya; one thing and you can bet your last $ this will happen..One of the folks here who say he's a good trader is gonna bring him here to defend himself and then we're gonna have yet ANOTHER worthless p.o.s. scammer here on the board -
Re: Ebay-No Retutn of TPG Coins Enforceable? HELP LOL.
This sounds frighteningly similar to another case here for roughly same amount and time frame but I can't recall who it was. I believe after Paypal ruled againstr him even after proof the buyer was a scammer, he got his money back after going to the media about it. -
Re: Hypothetical: Scam
There's no proof of anything in a hypothetical. One doesn't need to prove anything. If it's outside of eBay and a handshake deal, you're on your own. eBay and PayPal are not there to deal with alleged scammers. They're protecting their own interests and their customers' Playing outside of those parameters comes the great…
