Because of experiences as have been cited above, I have developed a small field of eBay sellers which I preferentially purchase from. If a particularly attractive offering is available from outside of this "circle of trustees", I consider bidding as an experiment.

My experiments have been successful better than 10% of the time. But a single purchase does not establish a seller's performance.

It is totally acceptable to me if a seller reproducibly overgrades or overprices his cards. There are several typically high inventory sellers who do this. I know that I will pay extra for their cards. But I also know that their cards are authentic, that they offer a liberal return policy, and that they may have a card which is otherwise difficult to locate.
