Ebay Scam: Honus Wagner Rp!!!

[Leon]

Of course the auction has been ended. I don't know if it was my report or not but I did mention the auction # where the seller bought the card. Bad seller imho......even though they seem to have great feedback. (which kind of sucks)

[timzcardz]

Well the listing itself still exists, and says "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale," so ebay didn't pull it.

That probably means that it was sold to some unsuspecting individual, possibly one of the offerers, outside of ebay.

The seller might have gotten email comments and knew the jig was up so they ended it. That, or they might have caught a fly in their trap....

I sent him a particularly unpleasant email and received this in response -- and the listing was then pulled:

"We will send the card in to SGC get it graded. We are an excellent ebay seller and we guarantee every item we purchase as you can not ebay our feeback of over 6 years."

Of course, his comments mean nothing.

Let me see if I understand this right?

He's a Power seller.

User ID's kept Private.

He claims to be an excellent eBay seller, but doesn't slab Wagner's for more money.

I know I'm 78, but part of my education were from the streets of Spanish Harlem.

What part of REPRINT doesn't he understand? ... and how can we help him?

Stay Classy Ebay.

". . . you can not ebay our feeback of over 6 years."
Huh?

I got a totally different response from him when I contacted him. This is cut and pasted from his response to me via ebay messaging...........


We are in receipt of your email. We are an excellent Ebay seller with an excellent history and reputation and most of our buyers are repeat customers and auction houses.

We are a large company with several people who list on Ebay. A new member of our staff from San Diego listed the card by mistake along with several lots of other vintage cards last night. Within 12 hours of the item being listed, we removed the item as the value and description were completely wrong and it was found by one of our partners.

We would only ask that you look at the whole of our company as a buyer and seller prior to rushing to judgment, however we understand your intent was to be of assistance.

We have no intent to mislead anyone and enjoy a 30 year history of excellent business relation and over 6 years on Ebay with 100% feedback.

All our best

Mistakenly listed the card while the previous sale of the card (correctly identified as a reprint) was still searchable on Ebay.

They don't have anything on ebay over $2000. The Wagner was listed for $4500. As their top card in their inventory it is unlikely they made an 'honest mistake'.

I'm really upset. I thought I was bidding on a 1959 Fleer.

Got a pretty funny followup from the guy after politely asking which answer he gave to multiple people was the correct on. It was a slow day at work and I wanted to put a smile on my face to see how big of a hole this guy could dig. I guess I'm easily entertained, but also wanted to put more pressure on the guy so he knows he's being watched. Here is follow up to me, cut and pasted again from ebay messaging, nothing at all altered.....

We are sorry you cannot accept our answer. As for the email this morning, it was sent by the same young man who listed the item and he assumed he was doing the right thing. He has since been informed on proper protocol on a matter like this.

In the meantime, we did not sell the card off line, nor would we as indicated by our business history. In closing, since we are a large management firm, all of our Ebay transactions are private and always have been as are many Ebay sellers.

Thank you again for your interest.

I've also been blocked from bidding on his auctions. I love when fraudulent sellers do me the favor of keeping me away from them so I don't have to worry about accidently bidding on something of his years from now.
