Ebay Selling Experience...

[D. Bergin]

I try to default everything as "Used" in the Ebay specifics and note actual condition in the listing with great big scans.

The Ebay condition specifics are completely useless for collectible sellers.

Hopefully you don't get a cracked open holder back. If you do I encourage you to share the buyer ID with the board so others can block him from their auctions..........as Ebay is unlikely to do anything about it.

I think to reiterate what another person said above..open this package in front of the mailman or post office employee. I think this guy is trying to screw you, and he's using the "Like New" as his excuse to get his money through paypal and keep your card.

This is what I typically use for the Condition on the ebay listing when selling:

Acceptable: Authentic - Poor (A to 10/1)
Good: Fair - Good+ (20/1.5 to 2.5)
Very Good: Very Good - Excellent+ (40/3 to 70/5.5)
Like New: EXMT - NM+ (80/6 to 86/7.5)
Brand New: NM/MT - Pristine (92/8 to 100/10)

If the card is raw, I try to map it to what it would approximately grade above. Qualifiers I might nudge it down, depending on how severe the qualifier is.
