eBay Seller Return Scam

[perezfan]

Ebay should indeed side with you. I am confident you'll get your refund, even though it may take a few days.

Yes, buying raw cards can be risky unless you know what signs to look for. Hopefully this will serve as a good "learning moment" and a lesson not to rush into deals that look too good to be true. The seller's lack of feedback, questionable scans, overblown description (complete with with pre-built excuses), and references to God are all common red flags of a shady seller.

Once you learn what to avoid, the ability to move on becomes almost "automatic". I have made some of my very best purchases going raw, and a slab is by no means a guarantee of security, either. Thousands of altered, trimmed and recolored cards currently reside in numbered slabs. So hopefully you'll be made whole, and can feel confident going after both raw and graded cards moving forward.

We've all gotten burned at one time or another. And anyone who denies it is lying. The key is to learn from it.

Best of luck with the refund!

You got that right.
