so this is a title of one of my auction, "Lot of (10) 2007 Bowman Draft Chrome Jason Heyward Rc"

the Description is
"Welcome! You are bidding on a lot of (10) 2007 Bowman Draft & Chrome of the player listed in the title. The breakdown of the lot is as follows: (2) Chrome, (4) Regular, and (4) Gold"

Is this misleading or can the winner complain, should i change it?

THanks..

You should definitely point out whether or not those are gold parallels or gold refractors.

really you think someone would think there are 4 gold refractors with no mention of refractor or numbered.

I think you are just fine. You stated the breakdown. I have seen plenty of auctions like this. Nothing misleading at all.

To me, the title is a little misleading.

I know that people should read the description, but to me, if I open that auction, I am expecting to see 10 chromes, not 2 chromes, 4 base, and 4 base golds.

just my 2 cents.

You are fine. That is STANDARD for lots like this.

I am not surprised it is high. I had a lot of 11, with 4 chromes and sold it via BIN for $60 about 10 days ago.

"bidding on 10 2007 Bowman Draft Chrome of player in title. Breakdown of lot follows 2 Chrome 4 Regular 4 Gold"

removed characters that will not help you sell the lot. Feel free to to add better words for the rest of the characters


Do not think proper grammer, think proper search terms

I hate these mixed lots with a passion.

why is that?

Because when I'm looking for say, lots of Chromes, I have to click on listings like yours only to learn that it's not at all what I want.


;). sorry i am getting rid of everything so i have to do these types of lots. I have so much draft its the best way to move it. id rather get rid of it at once, but i understand.

It's just a minor nuisance, no big deal. Your cards, your listings. :D

MT: I am not saying it's misleading at all. I'm just saying that you are ASKING for a bidder to file a chargeback saying:

"Duhhhh, I read 10 chromes in title so I assumed he meant to gold chrome refractors."

Dont change anything.
That's how I, and thousands of others have done them for years.
I have never had a problem.
