PWCC Strikes Again. but in a different way...

Sorry Troy, that sucks.

Where is Snowman to explain how/why this is all OK??

Can't saw I'm surprised. They screw their customers over by having shill bids and they still continued to sell trimmed cards even though they were notified prior to auctions ending. PWCC is the absolute worst.

There are more than enough other resources for buying cards. I would simply ignore these crooks, let them rot and die a slow painful death.

The FBI has apparently let them off the hook, but we have the power to bring them down. If we start acting like they don't exist, eventually they won't.

I had 7 lots get axed.
Probably a total of $90.

Not very upset.

Thanks Ryan! Not the end of the world to be sure and I think the 4 cards that were part of this were all PSA 1s. Likely $500 of cards or something less. More the principle of it all for me. They're back on my "nope, not buying from them again" list.

I've been very happy with how easy them leaving eBay has made it for me to forget they even exist.

What was that Yogi saying... it's deja vu all over again... kind of like those Goldin auctions not so long ago.

Honestly, I've never had an issue with PWCC so I have no complaints. However, that would suck to think you won something only to have it back in limbo. I remember during those Goldin auctions that kept crapping out I was up on a couple lots and then BANG - over, done, lost I haven't bid with them since.

Fear not, I'm here to the rescue! Let me know if you need any help sorting this stuff out. I know, it can be difficult.

Your BFF,

Lol. Good reply! That said, you have historically defended pwcc; many times making valid points. Do you have any comment on this situation?

If I was PWCC, I would do everything I could to make my auctions as seamless and not-sketchy as possible. This is especially true given (1) they are still trying to make hay as a stand-alone platform off eBay, and (2) they have a checkered past and a bit of a reputational issue. Calling off 800+ finished auctions is not a good look.

I will still bid with PWCC and I was the underbidder on the 1917 CM Ruth in their last premiere auction. I bid with them bc I am a card whore and bc I, personally, have had no bad interaction with them (except I am sure I have been shilled, but I blame that more on eBay than pwcc and we all get shilled from time to time regardless of platform). I did take about a year off after the scandals, but I will/do bid with them. Not happily, however (again, I am admitted card whore). Thankfully, they rarely have things I want. That, together with instances like the subject of this thread, are making a permanent boycott for this card-addict evermore likely.

Regardless, eyes are (and have been for a long time) wide open with this group.

I personally have no desire to bid with them, although I won't begrudge anyone who does. But I will say I had a friend who was bidding on lots and did indeed experience errors that kept his bids from being placed. So I understand why they're doing it.

I'll also say if I was a winner of one of the lots, I'd be livid.
