eBay scam alert

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.

The Williams card listed was also sold via eBay on 9/10/18.

My friend has contacted that seller to see if he has any info on where that card was shipped, etc. Granted, it could be the same guy with another scam account.

But this one has 619 feedback, all positive, so hopefully not.
