That's just fear mongering. There is enough buyer protection on eBay to assure nothing like this will happen, and if it does you'll get your money back. I've been on that side a few times, and eBay bends over backwards to accomodate the buyer.

Everything on eBay isn't shilling. Let's not always jump to the worst possible conclusion.

i have a feeling the guy has 2 (or more) cards.

Edward, I have that card raw, at least around the grade you were looking at. It's been with me since the latter 60's but time for Luis to leave the nest. Shoot me a PM with a link to the card in question and your email address so I can send you scans. No shilling allowed.

My take on second chance offers:

• When a winning bidder backs out, and I offer a 2nd chance to the underbidder, they NEVER accept
• When I win an item and it is not as described, the seller almost ALWAYS tells me that the underbidder has asked that they sell it to them if the winner backs out

BTW - I wasn't involved in the auction in question. It just got me to thinking about two very recent experiences.

The only reason I think I was shilled is because it happened litteraly an hour or two after the auction was over

Ask the seller for rationale of the second chance offer. Perhaps, as another poster suggested, the seller has two PSA 4's. If it's exactly the same card, you should suspect shilling. If it's a second one, ask for scans and be confident that you have not been duped in some way.
