If they can authenticate cards without being "card experts" I'd like to know theit qualifications.......

..Has anyone on the forum ever been told to send a baseball card to E-Bay Auctions ? Details , please ?

Yes, I'm not sure of the threshold but any cards over $700? Get shipped to authentication.

Under the current eBay rules, graded cards over $350 and raw cards over $250 go through the authentication process.

They also disclose that it’s “currently” free. We’ll see if that changes, and it so, how much they charge for it.

what a dirtbag.

I'm tempted to write to him/people he knows on FB.

If you are refering to eBay Authentication then yes, I did recently. Went smoothly:

Listed card on Monday September 19th
Sold on 20th
Shipped to authenticator on September 21, signature requested
Received notice of package received on Friday Set 23
Received notice of card authenticated on Monday the 26th
Payment released to me on September 28th.


As a first time seller (at least of anything of real value) I was happy to not have to worry about the "I never got it/I got an empty box/I got a different card" scammers.

[Trigerb7]

Unfortunately this sale was not through ebay. The sale was through a Facebook group and we completed the payment though PayPal goods and services. Papal has all of the information at this point and the case is still pending.

If I see this guys mug at any Houston show I will make sure everyone in the room knows what a P.O.S. this guy is!

[Stampsfan]

If eBay claims to not be card experts, what (of the thousands of items they are the broker for) categories are they experts in?

Seems like a blanket statement for anything that is available on their site.

Paul, the seller, has emailed me this morning. We are emailing back and forth. He says you guys got it all wrong. I asked him why he is selling a card he said he never received. We'll see....

and his response-

"I was off of ebay from october 2019 thru september 2022. I was very ill. I just now started selling and buying in the last few weeks. I had an issue with 2 sellers. because I got the orders mixed up. I tried to contact Brandon Treadaway from facebook to let him know I found the 2 cards I said did not arrive but he blocked me from contacting him but I did close the paypal dispute, I had another issue on facebook with missing cards but contacted the member to tell him I found the card. I try to be as honest as I can be. I hope you will help me in this matter. Thank you so much.

Leon,
I don’t believe a word this guy says. He told me he was buying for his grandsons collection. I added over 10 ultra modern cards for free. If he bought these for his Grandson why is he selling them all on ebay. He is a pathological liar.

[Pat R]

Looks and sounds like another Larry to me. If anyone is buying his story just take a look at his feedback left for others from his purchases. The last 30 purchases he made according to his feedback he had problems with 23 of the 30 most of them saying he didn't get all of the cards or "minor problem was resolved" and I bet that means he received a refund or partial refund with the same BS.

Man, this guy’s slow. 1) He still hasn’t figured that we know who he is and 2) it took him over 2 years to found out there was a post on Net54 dedicated to him.

I've been reading this thread, but I didn't realize until after your post (that made me look back at the dates) that it originally started 2 years ago then was revived in September because a different net54 member encountered the same guy. Hard to believe how long this has been going on for.
