Even scummy sellers should know their accusers per the rules..

I have made one purchase from Great Lakes Auction. Purchased a raw Reggie Jackson rookie and was hoping for a 7 but came back a 6.5. I was happy overall with the card as a lot of bidders were going after it because of the centering being near perfect.

Here's something for you shilling aficionados and a perfect example why sniping is the only logical purchase method to avoid it.

Battlefield listing that ended on 12/22 that I was sadly thinking about -

Bid history -



User history for user M**l who just fished for the max bid on two different users and tried to hit up O***s for more till they accidentally overbid a real bidder -



Look what's back mysteriously after likely filing a NPB on someone who only bids on Battlefield auctions so no Ebay fees were accessed -

...make your call on whether or not you think that's on the level.

First time I encountered this seller it was with a card I really wanted but after looking at the scans and reading the descriptions, I wasn't going to chase it much farther than 50% of FMV. When I saw the feedbacks I decided not to bid more than 25% of FMV.

Sadly, this sort of crap is becoming the new normal on fleaBay.

How does a seller that has 135 negatives still be allowed to sell on eBay?

Wow, guys, had no idea about battlefield. I'm always looking for Braves cards and her name pops up for the early 50's Topps that I'm looking for. Thankfully, I've never bought from her and now I never will.

This Battlefield thread from not-too-long ago, I had posted (#27) in this thread some comparison scans along with examples and information others had posted as well. This may help give an idea/illustration of what they do to doctor scans and commit fraud.

I recall sending or reporting this to eBay with the usual eBay response/action. Nothing. Actually, no - eBay has done something about it since .. they suppressed history information making it tougher to investigate/prove this.

eBay doesn't care about the positives outweighing the negatives so much as the overall volume of items bought and sold by Battlefraud and the steady income back to eBay they provide.

When scummy sellers like this can make money for fleabay the question needs no answer.

As long as the seller issues a refund when asked eBay couldn't care less about the rest. They see cards the same as toasters. You buy it, it is defective, you send it back, the seller refunds your money. No harm done. Buy a different toaster.
