Another Battlefield?

[irv]

I was watching a Gil Hodges card the other day and just noticed it didn't sell.

When watching, not bidding, I thought the card might sell at it's current asking or higher but I was surprised tonight to see that it received zero bids?

Needless to say, when I looked further, I found my answer!

Tons of neutral and negative feed back, which obviously worked as no one bid on their Hodges card, but it makes me wonder why Battlefield, despite the negative feedback, continuously gets bids and buyers?

Just another one to stay away from, unfortunately.

Even with all the neutrals and negs, they still have over 99% positive feedback. Seller is known for slow shipping or not shipping at all. The last item I purchased didn't arrive and when I emailed them about it, they simply refunded my money with no explanation. I should have left appropriate feedback, but I just let it go.

Maybe an inventory control problem, selling cards they no longer have.

Yeah, probably, and that's understandable, but the lack of communication is really what bothers me. I very rarely leave a negative, but I left one earlier this evening. I bought the item below and after I paid for it the seller emails me and says the owner of the card passed away and they didn't have the card (maybe it was on consignment?). The offered me a refund. I wasn't happy, but I accepted. I wait and no refund. A couple days go by, I email the seller. No answer. A couple more days go by, I email the seller again, and again no answer. Tonight, he got a negative. It has nothing to do with the card, it was because of lack if communication.

Thankfully, I have never dealt with them, although I was thinking about bidding on that Hodges card before looking at their feedback.

I purchased cards from this buyer and just received my cards 2 days ago. I was awaiting his reply on his shipping fees and shipping skills, but after replying and being a smart ass with me, I left my first ever negative feedback.
He/they charged me $5.00 dollars for shipping and it only cost him $1.80, going by the stamp.
The 3 cards I won came placed on top of one another, raw. No top loaders, sleeves or card savers. These were, the 3 of them, placed on top of one another, sandwiched between 2 pieces of cardboard roughly the size of an envelope.
The cards, luckily, weren't damaged any worse than what they are, but they could have been very easy to steal on top of that.

Like I mentioned, I gave the seller adequate time to reply/respond, professionally, but when his only reply was wondering if I collected top loaders, I gave all 3 card negative feedback.

I had a chuckle as well, but I don't think he found anything funny with my negative feedback!

E-Bay was contacted and told about this and his disparaging comments, but based on what I have read here, it's likely the last I'll hear about any of this?

Can you imagine, the dude blocked me! I thanked him for doing me a favor.

Sometimes ebay will act and other times not so much...

I'll chime in with my experiences since I have probably dealt with him as much as any other seller over the past 10 years. With the single listings, I think you still get what you see for the most part - no photo-shopping. In his lot listings, he used to be pretty reliable with regard to accurate, conservative grading, and pretty timely with delivery. But I have seen those standards slip appreciably over the past four years or so, and especially over the last year. It has gotten to the point where I just don't buy any lots from him any more because I know he will exaggerate the condition. For example, the last NM+ lot he sold me was full of dinged and creased up cards. On the plus side, I have never had an issue with getting a timely refund from him.
