random things on ebay that piss you off?

[mindbinge]

slightly OCD, but ....here's one of mine.

I keep seeing blue NYG Super Bowl jerseys for sale...the Giants didn't wear blue jerseys in either of the last 2 super bowls....so, why do they keep showing up?

:confused:

[dherm360]

LOL, Agreed, Antrel Rolle must have signed 50000 jerseys because a new Superbowl Stat Jersey gets added every 12 hours

[JosieD]

People not putting pics of the actual card in their listing.

[newton615]

People not putting pics of the actual card in their listing.

Agreed on this. I hate it when someone will use a stock photo when their card has a smudged auto or dinged corner.

I cant stand when sellers have a ridiculously high BIN and arent willing to work with you, or answer your pm's.

When you make a best offer and they counter with 50 cents off the original price.

[Broski044]

Not really random but I hate having to wait to get funds available on PayPal.

[The Madbacker]

How about just getting buyers to pay for an item. And having to be super nice and PC about it because the slightest thing will get you a negative.

"If you need some more time, just let me know......." what I really want to say "Hey, deadbeat, pay for your card so I can mail the damn thing out."

that guy in the pic is on youtube and does a lot of group breaks from the looks of his videos. the guy who got that card probably took the screenshot and tried to sell right away.

Its not that hard to scan a card and he would sell it quicker if people knew what the card looked like.

[jeg2315]

I cant stand when sellers have a ridiculously high BIN and arent willing to work with you, or answer your pm's.

In the same vein:

When sellers have those ridiculously high BINs, and my initial offer gets rejected, only for the seller to reduce the BIN drastically in a few days and end up selling it for less than what I offered originally...maybe I just offended them at first and they didn't want to come back around to my offer or something. Makes no sense.

This and the opposite: buyers that offer $10 on a card that routinely sells for $100+... Usually, I send an offer $5-10 off my BIN...

No, it appears he was supposed to be selling the other one, not the green one, and wheeler did a BIN for the green one /99 for $19.99. The guy then relisted it for the other card.

Actually, a mistake was made on my part on several platinum rc auto patches and Wheeler didn't want to hear about any mistakes, but made sure I learned a lesson. Here is the correspondence:

Dear drew42football,

We have seen your principles my friend just in the one small situation. I block all 4 people I have left negative for in 3 years for the very retaliatory nature of the industry.
By you finding out shows me the motive you had. Thus I made the right decision. BTW Who doesn't have 2 id's? Let alone thousands of followers/friends on card forums. Make sure you put that extra 20 to good use. By the sounds of it you are scratching by. Love how you just discount my loss and say you take a loss many a times but this spare change you shrug at. Judging by your private listings you try to control your losses. Check the forums I will be there and you will me mentioned

Dear wheeler281,

I didn't relist the item, I listed the same item twice, one for $19.95 and $39.95. The $19.95 price was set for the refractor version and the $39.95 for the green refractor version. Not sure what mistake I made in turbo lister, but clearly a mistake was made.

I have no problem selling a card for less than market value and over the years have done it plenty of times. If you had read my initial email, you would have seen that I didn't relist the card, but already had it listed at the $39.95 price.

I'm surprised that you take a lesson learned approach on this. You will run into someone that will retaliate with a negative feedback (blocking the person before leaving a negative, doesn't mean they don't have a second ebay id)...not worth my time...you have your principles, I guess and I have mine.

Take care

Dear drew42football,

actually have more then 3 times. Guess what I honored the deal. Most recently had the auto accept too low by accident on a miguel cabrera lot(link below). His offer won automatically for 85 less then it was suppose to be at :(. Just figured it was not worth my rep

Dear wheeler281,

I am sorry to inform you that there is an error in the listing as it was listed twice - one listing at 19.95 and the other at 39.95 (item #160882312053). Unfortunately, when I loaded turbo lister I had two green Rainey auto patches, instead of the base auto patch at 19.95 and the green at 39.95.

Let me know if you have any questions. I will be sending a request to cancel the transaction. If you are interested in either item, please feel free to make an offer as they have been relisted correctly.

Thank you
Andrew

[jason122883]

Zero fb bidders that obviously don't pay

[hugh]

people scanning the cards and then cropping the image so you can't see how damaged the edges/corners are

[hugh]

when card shows up damaged inside the toploader with no damage to the toploader and seller says "it wasn't damaged when I sent it" BS

Yup you took the negative like a champ I can certainly say that. Glad to see you are using it as a lessened learned and I could be your professor. Nothing worse then deadbeat bidders and deadbeat sellers. :rolleyes:

I just couldn't fathom losing my rating for maybe maybe 15 bucks.

I can't fathom leaving a neg to "teach a lesson" to someone who appears to have made an honest mistake.

[Nick Diaz]

In my opinion It looks like an honest mistake he already had the auto patch #/1058 set at 19.95. Why would he sell the green ref auto #/99 at the same price? As a seller it hurts when you receive your first neg because you work so hard to stay perfect. Then some hard head comes along who doesnt want to listen to reason and is trigger happy on the neg.

[beaver1080]

had someone make an offer yesterday and i came back with a counter $10 less than the BIN later that day they give me some bs about how they don't collect the player but their daughter likes him, and then they offer $1 less than their original offer.....

[antrodemus]

Getting a good deal on an item only to have the seller cancel the sale.

[mindbinge]

I would have just sent the guy the card and moved on...it's $20 who cares...i would have explained nicely and asked the guy if it was ok to cancel it, if he said no i want the card then i would have just sent it and been done...not worth all this kinda hassle and drama...or a negative.

doesn't mean the buyer was correct on this either, if I was the buyer i would have let the guy off the hook personally.

The greed of some people is never to be underestimated. I think you handled it fine, drew on the other hand made a mistake expected you to understand without doing anything for him? Seems presumptious to me after all you did was buy something he was selling. He should have sent you that card and learned from that expirence but he didnt

[wheeler281]

His story is false

He did not have 2 different ones listed. He has since revised the old auction after to appear that way. See I at 1st put in an offer of 17 then decided to hit the bin because sometimes being cheap and trying to save $2 cost me an auction

BTW-20 bucks would be if someone hits the bin on his "relis" Lucky it might be 15.

His comments were

"I have no problem selling a card for less than market value and over the years have done it plenty of times."<<---- really?? Just not this one I guess

Not like I searched out his listings and was like got ya. I type Chris Rainey auto and see newest listings and scroll. I see something I like I hit it. I did not go wow got this guy he has 2 listed.

edit- If I overpay for something(which I do all the time) I do not go wow honest mistake Sorry but I can't pay

So basically guy pulls an armyatc is all :devil:

[Drdduet]

When you make a best offer and they counter with 50 cents off the original price.

I can understand that one--but for sellers (or buyers) who have a high volume of transactions every penny adds up.

Let's say I do 1000 transactions a year--50 cents a transaction = $500.

[Drdduet]

Buyers who are never satisfied.
and
Using feedback as a weapon.

[mindbinge]

another thing that pisses me off is when I offer someone a lot MORE than something is worth and they turn down my offer, and then it sells for half of what I offered them. Unless it's a 1/1 or really low numbered and i think i wont see another one, if i make an offer on something i usually wont bid on it if the seller turns it down.

I always want to send them a message later saying hey you greedy fool, how's that offer I made for $50 more sound now?....but, i don't lol.



oh...and another thing is the "partial refund" scam...get sick of people wanting money back on something.

[Daddy91409]

I agree on everything said! Ebay 1/1's, sellers who counter your offer with .50 off the normal price, also I hate seeing an auction for a real nice ( high end ) pc card going for a fraction of the normal rate so you get excited only to find a $50 shipping charge.

Also fake patches and fake autos. Pretty sure it has went on ge awhile but I never heard of faking patches til I bought one on ebay and my lcs owner told me. I am an Alabama fan and bought a Again Alexander IF patch a few years back. It was a nice Seahawks patch of a pc player. I showed my lcs owner and he pointed out where someone cut the card. It broke my heart lol. Also I was out about 30 bucks. I just don't understand how people on ebay and fourms sites like jere at blowout would scam people like that. This is already an expensive hobby and they make it a lot worse.

I bid on an item and the seller accidentally ended the auction to highest bidder, rather than ending it completely. I won the card for about 1/20th the value. I cancelled because I knew it was an honest mistake. Why beat the guy up over the mistake. I know when you smell blood you won't stop biting, but you might be the one who needs assistance.
