ebay must see the writing on the wall, honestly.
sports cards are still booming (relatively, even during this dip) and people dont want to pay all of the associated ebay fees, and i think they are crying out for an alternative. myslabs hasnt really taken off yet, but they seem to be making progress. there are a bunch of other outlets, but ebay still gets the most eyes. if a bunch of the big players start to leave ebay, its going to take a big chunk out of ebay revenue. also, you have to immediately kind of walk this back to nat turner's group buying goldin, and people theorizing that they wanted to turn goldin into a true competitor for ebay for cards, not just for more high end stuff. that sale happened like 6 weeks ago, and seems pretty prescient now. big changes are coming, it seems.

I find this all very strange.
I currently have one card that I won a few days ago in PWCC's current auction, but have not yet paid for. I normally wait until all individual items I'm considering end, before sending a full payment, as PWCC allows. Even with a current item pending payment, I did not receive this email being talked about, from ebay. I also do not have any new ebay messages regarding PWCC in my ebay account. I did get an email from PWCC today around 4:30PM Central Time, where they referenced an email from ebay. I also still had around 20-25 PWCC cards on my watch list, and they have all disappeared. PWCC now has no items currently up and running. Steve

Just coming across this now.
Somehow, this thread reminds me of the mound meeting in Bull Durham - "We're dealing with a lot of s#!+"

Now, ebay has removed the card I won, a 1952 Topps Warren Spahn, from my account.
So it looks like if you have won an item from PWCC this month, and have not yet paid for it, ebay is cancelling it. Steve

Now that Watchcount doesn't exist for checking cards and PWCC has been axed from eBay, I'm guessing they won't be doing their Market Research thing where you can see sold ebay listings going back years. So how do we get that information now?

So I wonder what happens to people that did pay and haven't gotten their cards yet? Also, what is to stop someone who just got a card from PWCC filing with Ebay to say they never got it? Not like PWCC will be cooperating with Ebay anytime soon now. Will Ebay step up and honor those alleged non-received cards? Can't see PWCC ignoring a customer who actually didn't receive a card, but under the circumstances can see someone making a false claim of non-receipt against PWCC as well. Don't think Ebay or PWCC want to tick off any customers any more than they already have given the circumstances. Don't know, but was PWCC already using Ebay's managed payment program, or had they not switched yet? Can imagine Ebay trying to freeze their funds as long as possible to mitigate any such claims. This could be interesting as well. Last edited by BobC; 08-17-2021 at 09:42 PM.

Not every day 20,000 auctions or whatever it was get zapped. And with no notice it appears.
