Buyer has no control over what the bank chooses to dispute.

All three ebay transactions happened a month ago. So the buyer selected what to dispute.

You sir, were correct. The email that the buyer disputed the transaction with their CC company came through this morning. It cracks me up because I have a bunch of message in my ebay inbox from the seller asking me to create the different bundles to sell to him.

I also seen that one coming. O Boy it is easy on some of these buyers/sellers. As just a buyer now days I see red flags on more than one seller and then I go on to the next seller.

I would love one big seller or more, who open tons of football to make bundles for me for my PC. With all the parallels and inserts out there over the last few years I need tons of cards which should be really cheap, but some sellers think they have gold in their hands. The real issue is!! It is not worth their time to do it unless they ask a high price. As I'm not willing to pay their prices to do it. They can make more money pulling a few cards vs pulling a lot of cards that I want.

I understand it so I pick up singles now and then as I find them.

Had someone cuss me out for setting a low end card at $.99 auction with a $250 BIN to trigger the Ebay Authentification.

I've had a lot of issues with people buying low end $1-$5 cards and claiming not as described or damaged, getting a refund and never returning the card.

No longer need to wonder why the eBay AG process can sometimes take a very long time.

Advise them to have USPS forward all their mail to Florida. Or Arizona.

Well looks like the credit card company decided to side with the buyer an all three of his disputes. I wish I could send them the ebay messages of the buyer asking me to list the items. But I am protected under the ebay rules, so I am not out any money. But if anyone wants to make sure they don't deal with this person, ebay username is thegafferman3.

3:15pm Hey man my 5 year old hit the buy now when he grabbed my phone just tappin away can you plz cancel that

3:22pm Hey man plz cancel that I don’t have have to put in a dispute with my bank

4:11pm So I put in a dispute with my bank I would appreciate a cancellation there’s a 7 day return policy can we plz do this the easy way I wasn’t the purchaser of the item man it’s not worth the bad reviews from the multiple ppl I’m going to have buy stuff from you and leave horrible reviews reviews

#SMH. Some of us have jobs are are not babysitting eBay messages all day. My reply at 6:40pm: Shut up with the BS. I'll cancel the order.

I couldn't cancel the order through the request since I already printed the label. I had an eBay rep call a few minutes later suggesting I refund which is the equivalent. He was patient allowing me to vent a little. "How is a dude with negative feedback allowed to buy and why can't sellers add this to preferences? Why is there not penalty for buyers abusing the cancel order option? Now I have to wait three weeks to get my shipping label money back? Etcetera.

That alone should be enough reason to get the user suspended.
(but I doubt eBay cares)

Plus every single card I have sold this month cleared Ebay Authentification within a week. They can't be that backed up

This will end up being a situation where eBay will start charging for the AG service because it is being used in a way not intended. It will be similar to why they started charging a percentage of shipping costs due to sellers overcharging for shipping as a way to avoid final value fees. If you find a way to cost eBay money, they will find a way to fix it.

Buyer emails me about a listing - are the edges sharp? Surface clean? Did you pull these yourself? The complains that he "can't tell" from the scan.

Antennae go up - grade-grubbing detected.

I reply in the affirmative to all queries and send him a 25% discount on the price.

Two days go by.

"When you will be able to take the item to the post office to be scanned?"

You told him!

Footballcardlis · 02-26-2026, 06:44 PM

When my wife started helping me (I do marketplace and eBay) I told her if someone asks a question, they aren't going to buy anything; lol. You may get one every once in a while, but 99.999% of the time it's a no sell. And I haven't been wrong.

Aside from those I get annoyed after something is delivered and they have some sort of hidden rule that I guess I was supposed to know because apparently, I don't know how to ship things and I was 1 day late on shipping or something silly. Of course, they leave this on feedback and never sent me a message directly.

Funkster · 03-03-2026, 05:37 PM

Oof, someone won an auction for .99 and messaged me they dont get paid until thursday do i mind waiting..

We all need you to ask him, "You have to wait until next Thursday to pay $0.99?"

Report back.

TXRunner · 03-05-2026, 10:11 AM

So many offer retractions lately. I will get the offer and an hour or two will get an offer retraction.

I also got a great message the other day on a slab I am selling for $30. The person said they are part of a group who buy cards for kids and would really like to purchase the card for that group. He asked if I would sell it for $9 for that purpose. SMH.
