Beware Carterscards2006

[Jacklitsch]

As far as I'm concerned the Cartercards post is anonymous and as such carries no weight in the discussion.

Now if the poster wants to identify him/herself maybe I'll take a second look.

"Within 2 days after Todd won this card, we were contacted by 2 other very reputable sellers (who WILL remain anonymous) and warned us that Todd may want to return the card down the road if things "don't work out" with either SGC or PSA."

Sure.

We post feedback for paying bidders immediately. Once feedback is left, you know who bought what. Use a little common sense guys. This is the last you will here from us. Thank you!!!

Todd: "Seller left positive feedback 4 days after auction ended"



So how did the 2 very reputable sellers know Todd won the card 2 days after he won the card if feedback wasn't left until 4 days after auction ended?

then why would he not try and submit his $1000 card to turn it into a $4000-$500 card

Speaking for myself, I absolutely HATE the crackout game! I am a firm believer that cards left in other grading companies cases don't get a fair shake through a crossover service. I won't crack out a high dollar either. Maybe the seller feels the same way?

It's possible but a lot of effort to figure out stuff like that. The bidder names Ebay assigns to keep identities hidden don't change. So if you can connect the actual ID to the hidden ID it's possible.

But like I said, it's a bit of work, and gets harder the less active a bidder is. It's never been worth it to me, If I've been outbid I usually don't care who outbid me. And if I won I'm rarely concerned about who the underbidders were.

I don't have a dog in this fight and I'm not going to pretend to know what the truth is in this situation.

But it's very easy to see what other bidders have won. You don't have to guess their id and track them around.

Advanced search - Bidder lookup

All of their wins for the past month or so come up. No need to wait for feedback being left.

I know because I've followed problem bidders, renegers after auction before to see what they are up to.

I just recently had a bidder take three weeks to pay a $190 bill, send me a Paypal e-check which promptly bounced and disappeared. Meanwhile they're still bidding left and right and spending several hundred additional $'s while they're jerking me around. They even got positive feedback from some of their purchases.

I didn't contact the other sellers but it certainly did cross my mind to satisfy my curiosity and see if they are doing the same to others.

I was able to file for unpaid item claims before time ran out, but it really does gall me that Ebay keeps the buyers number of unpaid item claims private, along with bid retractions for the most part.

Thanks for explaining that to me Steve & D.Bergin.......I really didn't know it was possible to do that. I used to buy on ebay, but haven't in many months.
Even when I was buying T206's, I didn't really get too in depth with ebays functions...if I won I'd just pay and get excited waiting for the mail

Sincerely, Clayton
