Ebay Changing Group Breaks

mikejones · 06-15-2023, 12:48 PM

The eBay trading cards community is filled with dedicated enthusiasts and fans looking to buy and sell in this category. With the growing popularity of case, box, and pack breaks we’re taking steps to give sellers and buyers an opportunity to participate in these live events.

Effective July 18, 2023 case, box, and pack breaks may only be sold by pre-approved sellers. Any live auctions underway can be completed but after July 18 you’ll no longer be able to start new break listings.

Sellers who have been pre-approved to sell live breaks will be contacted directly. We’re continuously working to support our trading card sellers. We’ll reach out if future opportunities open up for selling case, box, and pack breaks.

I just bought into a Random Team break for 1 box of Sapphire and 2 boxes each of Bowman Mega and Series 2 for a total of 5 boxes from ABC Trading Company which I assume is the same one that sells all the cheap trinket items in bulk. Never seen them in the trading card market before today.

All in all I'm not opposed to the new rule if it does away with all the guys doing breaks from their mom's basement with lighting that looks like they have a candle. And have no idea who the players are or what is even in the set they are breaking.

Some of these Bowman Mega breaker crooks that get away with listings that only gives you Bowman 1st base cards. Like a 1st Bowman player card with no Mojo cards. I know some don't research when buying into breaks like this.

This was my first thought. Fanatics lawyers contacted eBay's lawyers and now this.

Jolten Joe · 06-15-2023, 02:09 PM

I don't know about lawyers as in they would threaten legal action but i could see them coming to some type of agreement where only Fanatics approved breakers can list on ebay.

JRX · 06-15-2023, 02:10 PM

What grounds does ebay have to implement this? Do they need any grounds? Does this apply to any product that can be opened and split amongst multiple buyers or only trading cards?

How long until only fanatics approved resellers are allowed to list singles?

I'm sure the amount of scamming that was going on from these breaks left eBay with little choice but to vet the breakers.

I can understand banning breakers who break 1 box with 7 cards and sells the spots to 32 teams

seanbros55 · 06-15-2023, 03:13 PM

It’s be hilarious if Belly Shirt Breaks wasn’t approved…

Preorders aren't 'allowed' on eBay despite them being there all over. You basically have to have what you're selling in hand and ship it and absolutely have to describe it accurately.

I can see breaks being huge issues for 'item not as described' returns. eBay doesn't take video as evidence for any disputes. Now are they going to have an eBay employee watch an hour long (or more) video to see if every Padres card that was pulled was sent to me if I bought that listing? I'm honestly kind of shocked they're going to work with these at all, but I guess limiting it to these groups will help and I have to imagine some added fees.

I wish they would not allow some pre-orders as ebay states the buyer has to receive the cards within 30 days but there are listings that say will deliver in 6-8 weeks..
But most breakers have the cards when the auction ends...

You joke but who knows with Fanatics, they could just buy eBay and there you go. Fanatics is a monster.

mc1 · 06-15-2023, 04:51 PM

They should ban all breaker sales. A good number are scammers. I imagine they also had fraud from the customer side.
