Re: Resealed Wax???
Hopefully these things aren't fooling too many people any longer. Bidding got to "only" $162.50 and didn't meet the scammer's reserve. Good thing it didn't because a buyer would have likely received a pack of 5 "nice" EXMT-NM low-mid number commons with a few probably off center. -
Re: Who is the web master of this board?
DS91 I read a post by you looking for someone to start a web site for Scammers and bogus cards.. It would be easy enough to do something like that without the PSA webmaster.. But if you ever did a Site with the content your talking about, you will need a Lawyer to protect you from the lawsuits that will come.. IMO -
Re: What is the best way to sell generic gold.
Exactly! We don't know you and you are not a member of the Circle of Trust here. We've had scammers come to the BST in the past. They would sell expensive coins and then disappear after being paid for them without ever shipping them. Unless you are willing to ship them first to a buyer here who is well established forum… -
Re: Buyer who uses no CC or Paypal Advice please
"Good luck" shouldn't have anything to do with it. Scammers can always be thwarted when the proper precautionary measures are taken. Just inform this prospective buyer that upon receipt of the check or money order, it will be three weeks before the order can be shipped. If that's not acceptable to the prospective buyer,… -
Re: Paypal and fraud
Off topic a little, but I sell DVD's on Amazon. Did you know that Delivery Confirmation IS NOT proof of delivery thru Amazon!?!?! I recently lost a claim against me, when the DC shows the item delivered. If DC isn't proof of delivery, I don't know what is!!!! I guess scammers abound everywhere! -
Re: What have you learned from this forum?

Yes, Storm is amazing...I don't think he is actually human...just one of those supercomputers designed to appear human on forums - I mean no human being could possibly know that much… -
Re: Coin shop owner gets 4 years for defrauding customers out of $1.4 million
The Porsche and Maserati weren't a clue? I have been lucky to avoid the biggest crooks that have crossed paths in my life, but close enough to see some real scammers in action during the last financial crisis. White collar crime is an art form. Banks can write it off... collectors take a hit emotionally and financially. -
Re: Man charged in $2.5 million sports memorabilia fraud scheme
I was born in York, live in Harrisburg. A few years back all the local collectors knew another scammer/. He made national news scamming autographs, got caught. went to jail. Nobody here would do any business with him but lots of people did. They all got taken. Glad they got this guy. g -

* Buy What you want, not what you think someone else wants * Avoid ebay and go with COMC or Beckett Marketplace to best avoid scammers and crooks * Don't expect to actually sell cards for what you hear they are supposedly selling for * Buy What you want, not what you think someone else wants -
Re: A problem I havent had on Ebay....till now
Just a heads-up to everyone, but any sales where you accept PayPal as payment as of Nov 18th will be subject to a dispute charge back under the conditions outlined in the OP for up to 180 days. My guess is that the scammers are testing the waters. They're finding out how well sellers keep records. Updated terms at PayPal.
