My wife has always said selling on Ebay is like 'playing with fire' and I've been pretty fortunate over the years, but a recent buyer really pissed me off.

Username 'Cardbuyer20' bought this '68 Mays PSA 8 from me for $270 that I personally had graded a couple months ago. I shipped it to him in a Priority Mail box and as always, packaged it very securely wrapped with plenty of padding. It was delivered on 1/7. I got notice from Ebay on 1/10 that he requested a return because the holder was 'cracked'. It took him 3 days to figure that out (assuming he opened it on 1/7). I've had less than 5 returns in 18 years, and I really doubted it cracked during shipment (MI. to OH.), plus there was no mention from him of a damaged box. He claimed that I shipped it that way. I accepted and paid for the return and got the card back 1/14. Sure enough, cracked upper right corner of holder.....but after looking closer there's CLAMP or VISE marks in the plastic on the front and back edges of the holder. I'm not sure what scam he was trying to pull, but he screwed up and then figured Ebay would cover his ass! I only briefly chatted with him once via Ebay after he made the initial claim, so I opened a protest explaining the story/claiming fraud on his part, etc. and of course, Ebay sided with the buyer and refunded all the $$ back to him. I asked for $35 to help cover the reholdering from PSA, but nothing from Ebay. What a load of BS.

THEN, this really topped it off. He left me Negative feedback stating..... 'Card is graded PSA 8, case is sealed but cracked, card is definitely TRIMMED!'

WTF!! I did absolutely nothing wrong during this whole transaction. I called Ebay at this point and they agreed it was excessive, refunded the return shipping cost I had to pay which somehow meant they sided with me, and that erased any feedback left for the transaction. Has anyone else dealt with this idiot from Ohio named Eddie Young?
