Ebay's new trading card / Pokemon card policy introduced last year has been reeking havoc in the sealed vintage card world with an incredibly scammer friendly money back guarantee policy. I was scammed for thousands of dollars of Pokemon card booster packs and because I did not initiate a return within 3 days of delivery Ebay won't do anything.

@pokeforcegold1584 Год назад

WOW, that is so crazy! I was an eBay seller last year and ended up ditching the platform because of how horribly they treated their sellers. I was getting scammed by buyers who were abusing the moneyback guarantee policy nonstop. When I saw your original video and saw you got resealed packs, I was under the impression you were 100%, SUPER easily going to be getting all your money back. That's completely insane that you weren't able to. As a seller, I always had video proof that the buyer was lying, yet eBay forced me to refund them anyway. I'm pretty sure they didn't even look at the videos and screenshots I sent them. Now it's apparently the opposite. When a buyer like you has video proof, eBay ignores it. What a backwards platform they are. I would absolutely file a credit card chargeback if you bought with a credit card.

Exactly correct. It's super easy to get scammed as a seller also. This is how I see it, bottom line, returns of sealed products should not be accepted. The one exception to this is if the buyer has video footage of opening sealed products and there's an issue. Then a return should be guaranteed regardless of the time period after which the goods were received. Seriously though, and I say this as someone who buys tcg products on eBay: I can buy a $1000 booster pack which is completely legit and then claim within three days it's resealed and ask for my money back. eBay would side with me. If you are lucky the seller could negotiate a 50% refund but that would still mean I got a vintage pack for half price. Sellers beware.

@lungbust2971 Год назад

Great video, I’ve been a long time viewer; but you also have to see this from the sellers perspective as well. I’ve personally had problems with people buying Pokémon products and a month late claiming they contained fake cards, or they were opened, ect. (Which was absolutely not the case) and every time I’d have to take a loss, I’d get a return of Pokémon cards from completely different sets, all commons, non-holos, ect. So this is a problem both way and eBay really needs to figure out a way to keep everyone protected. Sorry about your luck man, sellers are getting the short stick a lot too. The seller you purchased those from really needs to be banned on PayPal and Ebay

@adyscript Год назад

Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad buyers and sellers wherever you go. I understand why eBay did this to protect the sellers, because a lot of bad buyers will wait until 29 days to file a complaint about a perfectly legitimate item. It’s happened to me as a seller a few times. I’ve never sold or bought TCGs though, but I know there seems to be a higher rate of scammers on both ends for hot collectibles. I’m disappointed eBay didn’t refund you in full and escalate your situation, as well as shut down that particular seller. It’s worth calling again and demanding (politely of course) to speak to their fraud department if they have one, or someone who can actually do something to help. Definitely open packages as soon as you get them and inspect everything carefully.

In the past ebay has ALWAYS sided with the buyers, they finally did this and started to protect sellers. In this case it does seem like this policy probably hurts TCG cards/products especially in your example. But as far as sports cards go there are plenty of stories out there with people asking for refunds 2-3 weeks later because they bought a player that was blazing hot and within two weeks, they saw the price of the card cut in half. There probably needs to be a better middle ground or maybe different rules from singles and wax, but even when eBay tries to account for this with higher end product people complain about how they have to send stuff to a third party even when they claim "obviously it's not fake"

I woke up with about four emails from Mercari. One to let me know the item has shipped. One to let me know the item has arrived. Another to let me know to review the item, and give feedback so the seller can get paid. And another thanking me for giving feedback. All these emails were sent within five minutes of each other. The tracking showed it got “sent” to a completely different address. The person I spoke with replied, “hmmmm” I feel even they were shook. They said it looked like mail fraud and were gonna escalate it. which Who knows if they ever did. And the person deleted his account that day. So who knows. But luckily I got my money back, and was able to purchase my things from another seller who turned out to be cool, and super legit. I’m sorry this happened to you, Rev. again.

Hey Rev I’m sorry that happened to you and everyone else that gets scammed. I wish us as a community could do something about it, it happened to me before and the feeling you get when you find out you were scammed is overwhelming and especially when the loser gets away with it suck!!! I hope people pay attention and thanks again for the warning.

What a good way to reveal and destroy scammers

@Rectoranimex Год назад

From what I know eBay added this policy because people use to buy graded cards and return them if the card fell in value. eBay always had/have good protection for the buyer than the seller so this policy kinda protects the seller. Unfortunately, some people will always use something good to do bad and it reflects badly on all of the honest sellers on eBay.

@smilemiles2384 Год назад

We need to spread awareness because this is a huge issue. One time I saved some of my money to buy a Pokémon card pack i was really looking toward too, only for it to come resealed.

@adhirajmunshi3188 Год назад

Woah I never knew there were such scams on eBay..... thanks for taking the risk for us

@OutsideDuhBox Год назад

Brother, from a sellers perspective. This rule was made because people who would buy cards then if a player, for example, got hurt or didn't win within the LONG 30 day return window.. they'd just return it and the seller loses out. Been there. 😔 I'm sorry for your end, but.. the rule is pretty clear cut...you maybe had not known about the change, didnt read, and don't/can't/couldn't (understandably so) pickup your packages in time..I see your end but I see eBays side too. 😱 As far as the scammer that's STUPID, scum of earth 🤢 . I'm sorry. Maybe take more time to read but I understand how busy you are. 🙈

@ArtFiendz Год назад

To be fair the feedback on his page shows he's had a resealed pack issue for months. I hope you manage to get this seller shut down. he changed his name to carlos1027. These type of people should be banned from the site. It's sad that people feel the need to do this. Thanks for the heads up!

@ufcquikpiks1027 Год назад

I think the most important thing to do when buying on eBay is just check the sellers history/feedback and if they are established. If they are less than 100 feedbacks then just don’t buy anything worth more than $10

I got scammed on a booster box of astral radiance. The good news is I got refunded immediately and they didn't even want me to send it back. So, I gave my buddy's daughter 36 fake astral radiance packs, and she's too young to know the difference. So it worked out in my favor regardless

Glad u actually spoke about it and showed the seller. Most people nowadays are scared to do so, but if we as a community can’t be aware and avoid these ppl it’ll happen more. We just need to learn how to avoid these ppl and not actually harass them bc they’re not worth our time and attention.

@sprightlyrhyme Год назад

you can tell if they are resealed before you open them(with your eyes closed after you have "felt" a few packs). the packs are sealed with heated jaws, they melt/fuse together the material, the jaw uses heat and pressure and depending on jaw plate pattern will create indents or ripples to maximize surface area to improve seal strength. if you pinch the seal either side and move across the seal you will feel the indents or ripples, once the pack is opened the indents or ripples become stressed and loose there ridgeness, when glued back together you with not feel the indents as you pinch and move across the seal. its minute detail but if you have sealed packs try it and then reseal one yourself and see the difference, it can look immaculate but it will never feel the same without applying the correct heat and pressure and jaw plate. its more noticeable on old wotc packs due to "better industry processes". sometimes you can visibly see the stresses in the seal integrity just by the picture

One of the first videos I did that I was so adamant about was a video where I got scammed on a resealed gold strip blackout theme deck - but you are fully in the right to be exposing them. Thank you for this video because 3 days is really a tight timeframe. I make videos too and it’s really hard fitting in all my packages within 3 days. That being said I totally agree with you there needs to be more time. Lately for this reason I’ve been opening my cards immediately and if I can’t find time to do a video I just lose the opportunity to make content but peace of mind I get my stuff.
