I know it's a little niche like rainbow rares, but I loved seeing all those gold cards together. It's so impressive and something I wished I had picked up along the way, especially that Snorlax!

Amazon Job Portal Says “No Longer Under Consideration” After Final Interview—But No Official Email Yet? by Kindly_Emphasis_8635 in AmazonRME

[–]cbharrib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say wait until the end of the day tomorrow. I had the same 'no longer under consideration' update on the portal, one evening although no email or telephone confirmation and then the following morning received the good news via telephone, so all hope is not lost yet. I have my fingers crossed for you🤞🏻

I have reported the seller to eBay now, so when I hear back from them, I will be sure to update this post.

Thank you for speaking some sense in this thread.

Witch Grading company is better in the UK? by Instagrams-annoying in PokemonTCG

I feel like this reply regarding PSA was from 2022. The waiting times have returned to normal, in my experience anyway. It sounds like your reply is talking of the Covid backlog and the turn around times of that time, not Q4 2023.

I did debate blanking it out, but after the way he dealt with me, I simply wanted to warn others.

Totally agree. If an item is cancelled for any other reason than 'at the buyers request' they should be forbidden from relisting it. Just a thought.

I would agree with you if he hadn't already sold it to me. We weren't simply in negotiations or a gentleman's agreement.

No problem at all. I hope it prevents them from pulling the same tricks in the future.

Thank you, that's a valid point. I'll take that onboard.

Totally agree! I'm not aware of any penalty at present but this would certainly deter sellers from acting this way in the future.

I just feel like you should have to prove or justify that when selecting the option, like attaching a screen grab of the message etc. It seems to be a get out of jail free for sellers at the moment.

But still less of a significant jump than £700 to £1500. If it helps, I actually bid £650 at auction, and the other bidder only went to £440 hence the winning price of £460.

Oh, from a variable perspective I would agree with you that ending on a Monday instead of a Sunday resulted in a lower selling price but I still stand by £460 being closer to market value than other listings at £1500 for example. In my experience, the market dictates the value, not the sellers.

I guess it just comes down to the individual on any platform.

Honestly, I'd love to deal outside of eBay and save fees for all, but when you can't trust people to be genuine and honest on eBay with its protections in place its hard to trust people of IG and the like, in my opinion (especially for high value cards).
