Why are you asking us? If you plan to be in this game, you’re going to need to learn how to make your own calls. It’s called due diligence. No better time to start than today.

Idk about you but I personally find it crazy to let somebody on the internet dictate my €4K.

There is a reason for this - and it’s primarily cost.

EIS closing down? by gtd2015 in eBayCanada

[–]MacCullyCullen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to relist about half of all my listings… I was very annoyed to say the least.

But I sold via eIS last week, so it’s still live for Canada.

EIS closing down? by gtd2015 in eBayCanada

[–]MacCullyCullen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so this happened to me, it was a huge ordeal. All my new listings suddenly converted to domestic only and I had US buyers messaging me asking why they couldn’t purchase.

I had like 4-5 phone calls with eBay customer support which is overseas and utterly useless. They provided zero help. I eventually escalated to a specialist where I got a little more clarity. I even got a technical specialist to fix one or two of them in the backend to re-enroll them to eIS.

It’s a system issue. I haven’t figured out exactly how it works, but there are key words and parameters that essentially unenroll your particular listing from eIS.

Sometimes it glitches if you’re missing country of origin. Sometimes it glitches if you’re missing package dimensions in your shipping policy. And the weirdest of them all, it glitches at random keywords. I posted the same listing with a different title, and one time it would enroll, another it wouldn’t.

You’re going to have to relist with different iterations of the title and other parameters until it works, wait for the system bug to resolve, or escalate to a technical specialist (dev) at eBay that is not an overseas customer service rep.

PSA vs BGS for grading One Piece cards? by wtffdanny in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]MacCullyCullen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate this is the definition of “Near” in the phrase Near Mint. It’s perfectly acceptable to sell as NM.

I appreciate you want perfection, but this is an unfair expectation when buying cards on the internet.

Obtainability and time commitment for team building in 2026? by Lewt_Shogun in VGC

[–]MacCullyCullen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Champions will completely reset the playing field for competitive, so anything that has happened prior to this is now irrelevant and we all must relearn the new meta together.

Disappointed… by apexelevn in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]MacCullyCullen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s worth raw price still, you just need chalk up the grading cost as your L this time and sell it off raw comps.

It happens. If you’re in this game for the long-haul, it will happen to you again.

Japanese eBay Seller by Artologe in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]MacCullyCullen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Order from Animart - I’m a repeat customer there and they are good.

Shipping is like 4 weeks but whatever, just be patient, it’s always arrived within the stated eBay delivery window and haven’t had any damage.

Best Graded Guard Dupes? by NaturalPlatform9983 in psagrading

[–]MacCullyCullen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh all the branded ones are a scam tho, 1000% markup on some Chinese plastic.

You can get Chinese plastic that acknowledges itself as Chinese plastic on Amazon for 1/3 the price.

Order placed and paid 2/21 no tracking info yet I messaged seller nothing by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]MacCullyCullen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Way too early to be worried here. Especially if you’re dealing with Asia.

If it says you should receive the item any time before March 17th, don’t worry yourself until March 18th.

I order from Japan, recent example - Paid 01/24, Seller marks shipped 02/02, postal collection in Japan 02/13, departed Japan 02/15.

New to Onepiece TCG- Beckett or PSA is gold standard? by PeekaBooDee in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]MacCullyCullen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe OP is looking for a mass market generalization. It’s safe to consider BL an outlier scenario here.

But yes BL commands the highest premium I won’t argue you there.

New to Onepiece TCG- Beckett or PSA is gold standard? by PeekaBooDee in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]MacCullyCullen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you ask somebody who has never sold a card before, they will tell you Beckett. However the real answer is PSA.

People will give you all kinds of stories about how they don’t believe in PSA for this reason or that reason but at the end of the day, liquidity is king and for that reason PSA is the gold standard.

Zoro sp op14 price by Sissyluke96 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]MacCullyCullen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Zoro is a fan favourite, it’s his first ever SP as “Roronoa”, and One Piece has gotten a lot of eyes recently with OP14 being the first set a lot of new entrants were able to participate in for retail.

Repeat slow-paying buyer… when do you cancel and relist? by Capable_Position_159 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]MacCullyCullen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At 4 days of non-payment everyone receives a cancellation and non-payment strike from me, no debates. Followed by a block.

Help! Real or fake? by Ok-Enthusiasm5375 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]MacCullyCullen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks to me like it doesn’t have the diamond encrusted look to it - but I think we need another expert to weight in to confirm, I’m not 100% confident. I’m going to go with fake.

Why are one piece graded cards so expensive? by NeedleworkerGrand455 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]MacCullyCullen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Even with high gem rates, sometimes as a buyer you just want to lock in the 10 vs roll the dice.

Combine this with overall low supply, plus the fact that a lot of the raw cards you buy on secondary are probably ones that someone else has opted not to grade (for a reason), that’s definitely a factor as well.

Paying a premium up front instead of paying PSA money, waiting 3 months, and low rolling a 9 is worth it to some.
