Although feedback is not a cure-all for scams - for the most part I found you can trust it. I have 437 positives and another 200 repeated positive feedbacks - so over 600 deals...I was scammed only once. It was for $18 on three Sean Casey rookie cards (back when I was insane). |

sellers on ebay are 99% wonderful. stay away from private auctions and sellers who cannot tell you if a card is real or not.if the seller expresses a lack of knowledge or authenticity of a card being real or not,its simple logic..its not real!there is no reason why, not to buy cards on ebay. prices are much lower than from dealers or auction houses/card shows. |

While there are a small number of scammers out there, with a few self imposed rules you can have a good experience on ebay. Stick to the dealers that have the good feedback. Everybody will run into a jerk and get a negative once in awhile, but I try to see what it was for and most importantly look at any response the seller gave after getting the negative. Attitude is everything. Most dealers will try to work out an issue before it reaches the need for negatives. I know I would rather have a happy returning customer than somebody getting stuck with a card they don't like. |

I've done nearly 1,000 transactions on ebay with only a handful of bad ones and only two I can think of where the seller outright stole my money (one never sent the cheap photo I purchased and was NARU's shortly thereafter, and there is that stinking crook who sold me two fake OJs). If you are really worried, transact only with regular posters here, vendors linked to this board, and nationally known dealers who use ebay. And ASK US; as you can see, we are not bashful about stating our opinions of dealers and sellers. |
