How to handle this Ebay transaction that went south quick.

Seems I read a similar thread on this lately that ended up being a discussion about a potential scam. Bobby, has his payment cleared? If it's still listed as pending and you go ahead and refund him, he can cancel his payment and then you're out the amount he won the item for.

I see, it seems the earlier suggestion to call Ebay and explain the situation seems to be your best option. That or email the customer and ask him why he paid if he doesn't want the card.

You can cancel through ebay; and he'll get auto refunded and you will get FV fee's back. cancel transaction saying their is problem with address. At that point he can only leave a positive. A similar thing happened to me about a month ago. I cancelled and decided not to send for same reasons you said. Although I thought I'd get a 2006 common in return for a 64 Mays.

You have his money and the card. Let him deal with ebay to get his money back. When ebay sees the conversations you two had you get your final fee credit.
By the way your listings are really cool. I like the way you have the pictures of the card in the description as well

Thank you!! I hooked up with Seller Sourcebook. They are a great listing tool. I got grandfathered in so I got a cheap price, but I don't think they are cheap anymore.

Ebay had me cancel thru PayPal, so the buyer got his money back, and are manually crediting me back the $8 FVF. They also made a notation that if the buyer leaves me negative or neutral that they will remove it (I'm not holding my breath on that one). They think the buyer did that to avoid the non paying bidder strike, which honestly, he should have gotten because my auction hid NOTHING. You saw you were getting a PSA reject in rough shape. I said it would be nothing more than a cheap placeholder.
