And very odd for a seller who deals in sports cards and who in his description mentions how rare the card is and the pop report that he had no idea that the card was quite valuable. So, that doesn't jive to me.

I don't get where you say someone in this thread is messing with you, what does that mean?

Is it a rare back? The price is probably about right for a common one. I would file a report with Ebay. I don't think they allow what he did. I would show them the message too. Good luck!

Cycle 460… was underpriced but not my fault they didn’t do the research on it. They posted the pop report to lol

That sucks. Yeah, if they knew enough to check a pop report you would think they would do just a little more googling to find the approximate value. And it could have been someone on here. Never, ever post an ebay buy until you have it in hand. This has happened so, so many times.

Had you posted the auction here? It's a common theme that happens.


Also, ZERO, and I mean ZERO chance of anything aside from a Ebay slap on the wrist will happen.

I never posted that I won the card. Woke up to this message after I won it last night. I love this hobby

That stinks Brett I've had it happen to me. There's a member who hardly ever posts that does this a lot (makes a higher offer on a card that has already sold below value) the funny thing is that he includes a business card when you purchase something from him with his email and if you contact him about a card he has listed on ebay through that email his reply is he only will only sell through ebay.

has happened to me also. it’s sucks but you can’t make them ship the item. just move on.

I’m sure what they are saying is somewhat accurate, minus the family sale part.

Seller has a ton of cards for sale. Modern and vintage. They f’d up and someone probably messaged offering a lot more.

Someone also posted last night saying that this was a steal. About 10 min later i get a message from the seller canceling. I wish people would not post stuff like that, really a shame all around.

Had it happen once, won an auction for a 3 card lot at a great price, paid, then a couple days later they claimed it sold at a show over the weekend.

They offered my choice of their fake autographs instead but if it was more I had to pay the difference.
I reported them.

I doubt much happened, but they were pretty much off ebay a couple months later.

I saw that and I can easily assume that brought out the wolves.

Still would put 99% percent of blame on a classless seller. The same has happened to me, more than once. Unless it's an egregious error like posting a 99 cent BIN, when it was meant as an auction, this should get a suspension...but we know that will never happen.
