hey man, probably not the message you are expecting on this card but i’m really good friends with travis’ younger brother and since travis is back home right now because of his tommy john he’s saying travis probably won’t make it to the league until next season so if I were you I would hold on to this card till next year and wait for his debut before selling this card, it should at least double in price by then.

Who’s Travis?

Not a message, but some fun listings.

I mean it's not as rare if you list it twice, right?

The rubber gloves really set it off.

One for your block lists. Buyer bought 2 items each at different times during the day and then submitted two cancelations hours later. After a check of feedback, they're a habitual order cancelation user.

Seller had 3 cards I wanted, so I asked if they combined shipping; total shipping would have been $14. He said sure and he would refund the difference.

Charged me $8.10 claiming that's what USPS charges people, instead of something reasonable like $5.99. Yeah, USPS charges $8.10 and then there's the $2.90 discount eBay provides, which is $5.20, so he's pocketing the difference.

He wants to argue that's reasonable.

I am guessing this is Travis Sykora. We are friends with Travis.

Recommend adding dutchiestheman to your block list. They bought a card and I shipped ESE. It wasn't ever scanned, which happens somewhat frequently, but they left positive feedback a few days later. Now about 45 days after I shipped the card they filed an INR claim. They said they must have left the feedback by accident because they didn't get the card. I just refunded because I would still likely lose with ebay since no scan, but it just annoys me when people game the system to get a free card.

Actually I believe you would have won the INR case because they passed the 30 day limit to file. No acceptance scan necessary for ESE shipments.

Pretty easy buyer to block on ebay: chco-2120

Negotiated with him and gave him a deal on a couple cards. Combined shipping into an ESE. Refunded him some of the shipping (he checked out in 2 transactions). Therefore, the same tracking number was on both cards. A glitch in ebay's system only showed 1 of the cards as delivered, the other was not (same tracking number!?!?). He decided to open a case on just the one card. I called ebay twice and they said not to worry, they would decide the case for me. Of course the case got decided in the buyer's favor. The buyer stopped responding to me after he opened a case.
