eBay has gone to hell.
- If I buy a graded card, then it has to be authenticated first.

- If I buy three cards from the same seller, they have to be sent separately to the main hub and I have to pay a high shipping cost for each packet. Furthermore, I have to pay tax on each card.
- Even if I buy a pair of shoes, they have to pass authentication first!
eBay = high shipping costs + taxes + long wait times + high seller fees ...
This is why I don't buy stuff from there unless I have no choice ...
The other option is to try to connect with the guy on Facebook so we both can avoid all the BS mentioned above.
