OT: Would you return card because of better deal elsewhere?

I'm aware that the buyer will be picking up the tab for the S/H.

With this 30 day return policy, what stops a buyer from trying to sell the card and then returning it if they can't make a profit.

The buyer will definitely be blocked, that is a no brainer.

It's just another day in eBayland.

Another reason why sellers should not do free shipping.

What stops a buyer (other than current PSA backlog lol) from buying a card, trying to bump it, and then returning if unsuccessful?

The bold part happens a lot with the new shiny cards. The youngsters call it prospecting. They buy the new it players new shiny card and relist it on eBay for way more than they bought it. Then if it does not sell or the player tanks they return it. PayPal gives way longer than 30 days.

EDIT: To answer the question, BLEEP NO, I would feel like a slime ball for screwing over the seller. I know I would hate to have someone try to do that to me if I was the seller.

I own two 1969 Johnny bench’s because of this. I don’t mind cause it’s a cool card. The first was raw with a crease the second was psa graded with no crease. I paid a few dollars more for the one without the crease.

It sucks but hey it could be worst on EBay. It’s like the Wild West.

I bought a nice 1970 Topps Alcindor about a few months ago. Before it arrived I found an almost-as-nice one I had put away in a box of basketball cards years ago and forgotten. (Yes, I'm an idiot, don't judge me). I didn't consider returning the purchased one but I did think about contacting the seller and asking if he'd trade me some other cards from that set for the Alcindor. I would have been willing to take a loss on the deal for sure. In the end I just kept the card and may sell it myself.

Don’t people place a value on their time? $11 to go through the back and forth of a return and then mail it back? I don’t get it.
