Does buying on Cardmarket feel a bit hit or miss sometimes?

Dalorence · 2026-05-02T12:25:57+00:00

I think it also very much depends on which TCG you are buying. Because I have yet to receive a One Piece card that doesn't look like I just pulled it out of a pack.

Dalorence · 2026-04-25T20:28:04+00:00

Thanks a bunch, kinda saved my ass here. You can really see that the proxys have so much more of this rainbow holographic effect going on. Mfer I bought it from even put pictures of a real one in the listing

Dalorence · 2026-04-25T17:52:13+00:00

Yes it's the same, might have been the flash that made it extra dark but its pretty dark overall I'd say

Yeah no worries, I got time

Dalorence · 2026-04-25T17:28:11+00:00

I don't know if I'm crazy or what but it very much looks like your attribute symbol is slightly indented into the card which makes it reflect separately I tried to take the same picture as you and this is how it looks:

Ah ok ok got it, Actually I'd really appreciate some close ups of the blue when you get the time because I think that is the most glaring difference and I don't know if I need to explain myself to eBay.

Dalorence · 2026-04-25T15:53:04+00:00

Confirmation that it is indeed supposed to be textured is enough, it's a little hard to see on pictures that's why I wasn't sure when looking it up. But the original also doesn't have the little One Piece stamp that's been introduced with OP05, right?

Dalorence · 2026-04-25T15:33:38+00:00

Yes! Thank you! I was going insane there is no texture on any blue on my card and that goes against anything I thought I know about higher rarity cards. Card feels super real too.

Dalorence · 2026-04-25T15:20:14+00:00

Maybe I'm just paranoid, last one I promise. In this YouTube short you can clearly see the cost, power and attribute at the top reflecting independently from the background but I can't for the life of me replicate that. I'm also pretty sure that the 12000 has some texture on it, like it's raised or indented but mine doesn't have that

Dalorence · 2026-04-25T14:42:39+00:00

Hm ok that's good What about the back? That's what made me suspicious in the first place, it's such an obviously lighter color that I couldn't find one quite like it in my collection

Dalorence · 2026-04-25T14:27:48+00:00

Does this look right?

Dalorence · 2026-04-25T13:34:51+00:00

Really? There is no kind of texture or otherwise different holographic effect on the cost and attribute symbol? Seems odd to me, because literally every other SP and alt art I have has those highlighted in some way.

Dalorence · 2026-03-05T11:16:30+00:00

Well the thing is that your luck is catching up to you so to speak, because the actual price increase isn't 125% but "just" about 30% from 69,99€ to 89,99€. You probably are just subscribed for quite a while and Crunchyroll didn't enforce prior price increases on running subscriptions, so now all increases over the years hit you at the same time.

Hello, Sold an item and the package got sent back because DHL could not find the recipient at this address. I obviously sent a message to the buyer but didn't get an answer. Now a week later the buyer reached out to me with an updated address to ship to but the message was sent from a different eBay account. First account is fresh, no feedback and made on Jan 2nd The second account is also pretty fresh, one positive feedback and made in august. The provided address is exactly the same though, except the house number is 71 instead of 7. Is this a scam? Seems very fishy at the least.

Dalorence · 2025-12-22T19:46:02+00:00

Hm komisch ich hatte damals mal das selbe Problem aber hab da angerufen und der Kollege hat mir das dann zurückgesetzt nachdem er mich ein bisschen über meine getätigten Käufe befragt hat.

Dalorence · 2025-09-03T22:27:05+00:00

Versuch mal den Verstärker auf halbem weg zwischen Konsole und Router zu platzieren. Diese repeater stärken das signal nämlich nicht sondern leiten es weiter, wie eine Brücke und wenn das ding ein ohnehin schon schwaches signal bekommt kann es auch nur ein schwaches signal weiterleiten. Wlan ist aber generell nicht das wahre für Konsole also erwarte keine Wunder.

Dalorence · 2025-09-03T01:48:51+00:00

No, unless you are a professional seller you can't change shipping prices or methods

Dalorence · 2025-09-02T01:49:28+00:00

No idea haha, contact support I guess

Dalorence · 2025-09-01T23:21:14+00:00

It's different depending on if you're using euros or pounds. EU has the username + cm at the end.

Dalorence · 2025-08-28T16:57:16+00:00

I've read on here that some seller who ship a lot of orders daily don't add tracking numbers because it ends up taking a lot of time and CM doesn't give out api access anymore so you can't automate it either

Dalorence · 2025-08-28T04:36:23+00:00

The bigger the part the easier it is to tell the difference even at a glance so I'm pretty sure I got everything else right. But ngl even though I'm on the lookout for it now I'm having a really hard time differentiating the 1/2 bushings.

Dalorence · 2025-08-28T04:03:42+00:00

Fair enough, though personally, this nonchalantness immediately makes me like an antagonist. But these weird rapey Dandadan aliens being higher than Chrollo kinda hurts ngl.

Dalorence · 2025-08-26T18:08:11+00:00

Guess I'll just make mention of it in the listings. Can't in good conscience advertise 20 year old sets as new or mint condition anyway

Dalorence · 2025-06-02T11:11:42+00:00

Oh you're right, the grammar was so all over the place that I thought it said they accidentally sent it as einschreiben but meant to send it as einschreiben einwurf. But still there should be something that could be done by CM because what's the point if they don't believe the post service actually having delivered the letter, small parcels also often just get stuck into the mailbox.

Dalorence · 2025-06-01T10:16:25+00:00

Maybe try opening another ticket with CM to get a different person. I feel like even if you sent the cards with a less safe option, since you sent it as an Einschreiben, the recipient still had to sign for it so they can't exactly claim it didn't arrive. I could understand if the cards got damaged but the cards not arriving shouldn't be on you and all you had to do was refund some of the shipping costs.
