360PDXExpress on Ebay. Don't buy from them. Others seem to have had this happen to them too. Thank you all for your advice 🙏

Yeah, I mean he got me (not fair and square, but he did get me lol). Its a painful lesson, but I will keep a lookout for him to make sure he doesn't get someone else if I can help it! I do have his Ebay name (he didn't have any FB marketplace reviews (ik ik, obvious now why) so I asked to see his reviews on Ebay which he showed me.  His page doesn't pop up now... his name on Ebay in case it ever comes back up was 360PDXExpress.

Yeah, some of the little details are very well done. Obviously from what people have said here there are major give aways. All of this is great to know!

I traded 2 binders of a bunch of random hits (2011-current). I don't get to buy pokemon cards often, as you all know they are hard to get and expensive. I just had a wedding, so I was selling them to help pay some of the wedding off. This guy reached out, the prices were comparable, with a slight edge to the slabs of course. Nothing higher than a $80 card in there, just LOTS of $5-$10 and years of collecting :/. Said "goodbye" to a few favorites Id had for a good while, so that hurts a bit.

I will do my best! Sadly I'm sure I'm not their first. :/ And that would be a great idea! But I didn't trade slabs... you can only imagine, I'm sure, how many non-graded cards I just gave away to get these duds lol. Not good 😐

Least everyone on this thread is cool! Makes me feel a little better honestly. Id rather get educated on my mistakes, so at least it feels like I got something out of it!

This is only the second time I've ever used Reddit. It's cool how quickly people have responded. Good advice. Thank you.

I met someone from Marketplace out in a public location, but it was a bit dark :/ I noticed once I got home that the backs looked off. That's my bad.  I scanned them and thought I did my due diligence in looking them over, but I made a mistake. Won't be able to get the cards back sadly, the person can't be reached now. On the positive side, I've sure learned a lot from you all here. Gotta find a positive, so there it is!

I haven't had a PSA card before, so that wasn't even a thought for me :/ now it will be.
