What makes you most suspicious of an eBay auction?

[Nashvol]

"sorry for the poor scan, it doesn't do justice to the quality of the card"

[Leon]

Sellers with high end cards not graded while others of theirs are...

[smtjoy]

An auction with lots of early bidding and then the high bidder has bid 100% with that seller.

[tcjsavannah]

"I'm not a professional grader but these cards look sharp/great/fantastic/mint/etc."

Doesn't make me suspicious, just seems very unwarranted, especially if you're putting pics in of the cards. Just once I'd like to see an auction where a guy says, "Why yes, I -am- a professional grader..."

Registered within the past month, has 10 feedback (all buying, e-delivery to boot) and all of a sudden is selling high dollar cards with crappy photos. Oh yeah, and using eBay mobile to list.

When a seller has the card listed both auction style and buy it now style at the same time.

[Bocabirdman]

When the seller buys reprints using the same User ID and then sells "his grandfather's legacy".

Why is that?

References in the text about Jesus, God and Christianity. Also, grandfather's cards, found in an old desk and the old proverbial I don't know much about grading but......"

Makes me suspicious of the seller rather than the card itself. I once submitted a best offer price and won auction style. Seller sent invoice for the best offer price which was $13 more than auction style. It's a beautiful high dollar card I really wanted and I love, so 13 bucks was no big deal, but it seemed kinda shady to me

Dead bodies lying in the background of the photo, just behind the card.

A sudden glut of a difficult card you've been looking for....
