eBay scam alert

I always worried about that. Anyone could claim they sent a card, and tracking, etc. doesn't prove that. That's why I always buy from high rated sellers or people I know.

I wonder if there is Pay Pal protection on this? Wouldn’t every person without morals be doing this hundreds of times per day? Maybe they are.

Scary stuff.

I have always worried about this. Also worried about sending the expensive card and the buyer saying a $1 common showed up.

As long as he mails it back with tracking and it shows delivered, Ebay is on the hook for the refund.

Years ago I was to receive a 1968 PSA 8 Mickey Mantle & instead received an ungraded 1968 Mantle with rips & holes in the card. I used a postal money order instead of paypal. The postal authorities have their own lawyers handling a case like this. I received my money back & the seller went to jail. That's why I don't use paypal using f/f because you are not protected using their policy.

Makes sense. He didn’t use family/friends at least, so maybe there is hope based on what the previous poster wrote.

Years ago, not on ebay, a friend purchased a PSA 4 1952T Mantle from a guy and the bastard sent him a PSA 5 1957T. Fortunately I was able to find the true owner of the card (the thief had used an AH scan), the local DA prosecuted, and my friend got all his money back.

.

Tracking doesn't show what was actually sent. If he sent a $1 card, eBay would pay? Let's all send out $1 cards with tracking,and put eBay outta business.
