Great. I just got one in. That and a Harper Blue AU. It really is to the point where I just want to sell $5 - $25 items. It's always the same BS with the bigger cards.

The day when they lose most card biz to another auction site can't come fast enough

Best part of eBay contacting sellers to get cards cheaper so they dont have to eat the fees........... 
I know someone is going to be pissed I posted this.

First off, I'm sure there are good reasons to have multiple accounts. I'm not implying you or anyone else here on this forum is doing anything unethical. I would be interested in what your reason is for having multiple accounts is though?
My beef with this is that I've had someone try to use a separate account in order to bid on his/her own items. What they would do is if the item wasn't selling for what they wanted it to they would put some bids in. I know they were doing this for many reasons which I wont get in to.
(checking history of other items sold with the same account being a bidder, the other buyers thought the same thing was going on)
To me I would want the positive feedback and only keep one account, but again I'm sure you have other reasons.
Hopefully better reasons than being able to get revenge on a bidder who burned you.
I don't have two accounts but have thought about it for the following reason:
Some people are flippers. If you search their feedback you can see what they paid for an item. This may not be something they want you to do.

Hmm, it would be helpful to have a resource listing corresponding IDs just so you could look up the original price.
Maybe not so much with sellers who mostly sell cards that have volatile pricing, and mostly for sellers with big eBay stores.

I hate when I don't put a best offer on a BIN.....and I STILL get ridiculously low offers. I don't put BIN/BO for a reason, if I really wanted to sell a card I would. Sometimes I just like to fish.
I also hate when after a buyer pays he immediately messages me to be sure to get it shipped the next day...
I dealt with the "accidental" or "my child bid without my permission" bidders to the point where I only use BIN with immediate payment 90% of the time now. I know I'm losing some money by not doing auction or not having best offer...but it keeps my interactions with the idiots to a minimum which is worth something to me.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but what's to stop a buyer on eBay from saying they simply didn't get an item. Even with DC, a buyer could claim there was nothing in the envelope or something of that nature. I just feel like there's nothing protecting the seller

Sometimes I send offers to sellers on cards I need with no BIN but I am fair when I do so. At that time I have money to spend on it and dont want to wait 6 days for a card that I can pay about what it will go for anyway. I also try to do this so that a seller is not eating fees from ebay. If I buy a card for 15 they are getting 15 if I buy it on ebay for 15 then all those fees that come out put them at less than 10 right? That is my reason on doing it.

Nope completely wrong. If you buy something for $15 on ebay the seller is charged 10% which leaves the seller with $13.50.
Paypal fees on $15 are only $0.76 cents I believe so that leaves the seller with $12.74. So they arent really losing that much and hence why they probably see your offer as a low ball one.
That's just how I would react to an offer less than $10.

Your thought only makes sense if he offered less than $10. But your thought is ridiculous if you wouldn't take the offer of $15 (like he stated) for the card that will sell for $15 at auction. May only be $2.26 more but more profit is more profit.

Which is my thought. I am not going to lowball anyone. I may throw a small number out there on a card that has not sold before just to see where a seller is at on something. I generally offer 5-10 less than what I want to spend to leave room for negotiations. Sometimes I average recent auction prices together
and base my offer on that.
