Anyone Else Get A Little Upset...

when you win an auction and you recieve a card that is considerably different than the one pictured in the scan? Considerably meaning: O/C.

Yes, then I submit to paypal saying item not as described or different item.

You're talking about the Pomeranz, and you have every right to file a claim for item not as described.

Although if you got it at a price that you will make a nice profit raw and the market is now dry, keep it and neutral him. If not, return it, get your money back, and get a new one.

Not just the Pomeranz, I've bought roughly 70-80 cards in the past few weeks and there have been 3 or 4 cases (2 of which were from today's mail plus someone who decided to ship a card without a penny sleeve) where I recieve a card that is definately not the card I bid on. It's just a little annoying because I set high snipes on well centered cards...since I'm willing to pay a premium for well centered copies, and it's pretty disappointing to open up the mail and see that I recieved something I didn't bid on.

it kinda sucks.

I think for some sellers, a card is a card, so it doesn't matter if they have a "stock" photo of a card that they have multiple copies of. They are bigger retailers and don't give a squat about "grading" - it's just another card to them.

What some sellers don't realize, though, is that the buyers for their cards are basing their bids on those photos, for condition assessment purposes, so it sucks when you don't get what was pictured.

I don't get upset, but I leave the appropriate DSR rating for cards that don't match the description/picture.

I once bought a Chrome Refractor Auto (of a player that shall remain nameless because he is sucking right now) that was listed with multiple pictures of different cards in the listing. The seller pointed out that the card was "the one on the left in the picture" even though that card looked like a regular non-refractor, but was well centered and had a clean auto. The desc also stated the card was "mint condition and gradeable". I placed a higher bid than I normally do for copies of said card, won the card, and received a Refractor auto that was off-centered, had 3 soft corners, and a smudge on the auto. Clearly a different card than the one pictured/described (although the serial # matched the desc). I left a + FB with a 1 star item as described DSR. obviously im not buying from that seller anymore.

I don't like it at all. If you're going to post a picture, post the one you're selling. If you don't, then you're risking a charge back if the buyer isn't happy.

When that happens to I just take note and don't buy from that seller ever again.

eBay sucks all around (Fakes, misleading descriptions ect.)

I've only had this problem when buying product that is just released. Bowman 2010 is a good example because I think a lot of the big sellers busted several cases of this product but in their rush to get them on ebay they went with "stock" photos rather than scanning every card individually. Still sucks though.

I have had this happen with autos... diff style of sig, OC, what ever... then I get the excuse about having so many of them etc... blows

 

[ballerskrip]

It is total BS, i buy my cards based off of the scan also. If it is worth it, and I paid enough for it, I ask for a refund.
