Question regarding pirated (stolen) scans on eBay

Posted By: <b>Bob S</b><p>This will sound like I'm a newplayer in this hobby/game, just called up from the minors. LOL<br /><br />But, anyway, other than getting a buyer to send them payment, and then sending them nothing, how can this practice impact a potential buyer?<br /><br />I realize receiving nothing for your payment is very serious, but there are ways of protecting yourself with regard to that circumstance.<br /><br />Are there other criminal "techniques" other than this obvious one?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Bob<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>If its a high $$ item Ive been emailing the sellers and asking them to rescan the card with a penny or dime or both on the holder or card. I have yet to get a reply in the last 4 Ive emailed. I did this for most of the questionable big $$ cards that have been on eBay lately. Not one has written back or sent a new scan.
