E-Bay purchase?

Even a 52 lo number HOFer with some potential back damage isn't a bad price for $11. If it was a common then yes but not a HOFer, even a lower tier one.

Big part of the reason why I bid on it. The front looks like a 2-3, maybe even a 4 so I thought it was worth a shot?

In all honesty, I was surprised I got it for that, but that's also assuming, on my part, that the back was good also?

Hopefully it is, but I still haven't heard anything back from them over 12 hrs later?

I will update when I hear something or receive my card.

Thanks everyone for the info/help. I really appreciate it!

Regarding the late invoice and the Global Shipping Program (if that was used by this seller). Does Ebay know what they are going to charge for shipping before the items get to their distribution center?

It wasn't Global they used, but rather USPS first Class.

I can't answer your other questions as I have no clue why some use one shipper and some another?

From what I have seen, even if 2 identical shipping companies are used, the prices are never the same.

Some would be based on their location of course but I have seen cheaper shipping from say Texas to Canada as I have from Ohio to Canada, and both are using the exact same shippers?

Aside from shipping, my card was sent out today. No reply, nothing, just an e-mail saying it was on the way.

Also, it was brought to my attention, the negative feedback this store has! I never once looked at it, just the "Top Seller" logo at the right of their ad.

Learning something new everyday I am!

It's eleven dollars, or $32 Canadian.

I've spent more that $11 worth of time reading this thread...

It's likely every member on this forum has experienced something like this at one time or another, myself included. Just remember that your reputation is the most important thing you have in this community. I know there can be a lot to absorb, and the excitement of the find can be very tempting. Just remember that once you've submitted a bid, or have selected to buy it now, read that next page that comes up. If you proceed from that page, you have obligated yourself. You've given your word.

If, when you receive the card, it's not what you expected, then you might take action. Contact the seller, and if you are not satisfied with the response you get, you have the option to open a case.

Chalk this up to a learning experience, and next time, make sure you've read everything before committing.

Good luck!

Thanks, Stache, great info. I am learning as I go, that is for sure!

My 2 biggest mistakes with this purchase are not taking my time and reviewing the whole ad thoroughly, especially their feedback, and being caught up in the excitement of bidding on a card in hopes of winning it.
There were 14 or more bids on it and because I am sticking with 52 Topps to add to my collection, it's a card I wanted, not just an everyday card I hoped to win for fun.
