Default Ebay Descriptions of graded cards

Posted By: Chris

For those who think the card is not trimmed, and I respect your opinion, what do you base it on? For those that think it isn't, WHY is the card so much shorter? We're not talking about a small difference. We are talking much shorter. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it is miscut, shouldn't the card still basically be the same size? I actually brought this up in my very first post on here. How do you tell if a card is trimmed? It is obviously short and the bottom looks to slope to me. Pete and I have given our reasons for thinking it is. What are the reasons it may not be? I will say this, I definately have learned some things with this incident. More and more you learn to buy the card and not the holder. I learned that although I could not see the cut at the bottom of the card, had I looked a little more carefully I would have noticed the gap in the holder. I like Pete, just don't see how a card so short can not be trimmed. I am happy that Lee and I were able to work things out as that I still think is the most important thing. If the person you sell something to isn't happy, shouldn't you try to make him or her happy as long as they are not asking for the moon? Or is the sale that important that people that don't offer returns just don't care if you lose a potential customer? Is it better to refund $ on a card or just tell the customer, no returns, deal with it and make sure that person never buys from you again. Beyond never buying from you again, they tell people. I guess I am just a little surprised at the number of people who don't offer returns. Just seems like bad business to me. I personally think if the card was listed with a nice quality scan and a description that mentioned it as miscut it would sell for less. I can't be sure though. It might sell for more. Who knows.
