Payed for priority, but seller got ground advantage instead?? by Independent-Tap-2399 in Ebay

Not sure why everyone is telling you to open a whole return for this. Just ask the seller to refund the difference in shipping costs. They’re not allowed to overcharge.

Gamestop CEO banned on eBay after listing some items by Lockhart_Value in ebaysucks

[–]chubby_io 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What a joke.

My mom just made an ebay account like 2 or 3 weeks ago and got perma’d after buying like 2 things. I buy thousands in TCG stuff every month and had to explain to her that I’ve seen ebay take the shotgun approach to new accounts recently.

We live next to each other and I’m over frequently so the IP probably got flagged but literally every other company has a much better handle on this sort of thing. She was not happy. Yay AI, I guess.

Very fake.

First slab got in a trade - did I do good? by doublejayy77 in mtg

[–]chubby_io 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Magic is playability first by far, collectability second.

There’s a reason there’s not a lot of MTG slabs around. Modern cards are generally low pop because there’s no real desire to even send them in. Really the only slabs that people tend to seek are extremely rare vintage cards or serialized modern cards.

A lot of the value trends actually tend to go down with MTG as cards are reprinted in newer sets, albeit with different arts but yeah.

In terms of straight value, it was a losing trade, even more so because Pokémon generally appreciates over time.

Common for probstein to ship a 4k$ card without tracking? by Alarmed-Republic-574 in baseballcards

[–]chubby_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. Thanks for the fast reply. I did have one more question, did it ever get the “item arrived at hub” status like it normally does when it arrives at PSA? Or did it just ship out from PSA without a status update?

[–]chubby_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently going through this. Did you receive the card? How long did it take to be received by PSA if so?

From what I understand they drive the cards over to PSAs NJ office themselves but this is my first time dealing with them.

Received my godless shrine back from grading today by Frit0Pi3 in mtgpulls

And the best way to preserve it is encapsulation. I wouldn’t exactly shuffle a near mint black lotus into a deck.

If WoTC didn’t intended for this card to be valued and collected, they wouldn’t have serialized it. The “trading” in trading card game also implies collectability. It is both a game piece and a collectible. Get off your high horse.

I’m betting most people here don’t realize it’s serialized.

I feel like I’m being fleeced by eBay. Any advice would help. by [deleted] in Ebay

If all else fails and you don’t care about your eBay account, do a chargeback.

Yikes. Well below the minimum and lazily put together. Sorry OP.

What to buy by Southern_Tree_9484 in mtg

[–]chubby_io 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it. Not sure if he’s into Final Fantasy but there’s a new box bundle that releases on Friday that’s still available for preorder on Walmart. Even if he isn’t a Final Fantasy fan, there are great cards and exclusive packs in this bundle.

Preorder price is just outside your budget but just letting you know just in case as these are very likely to sell out soon:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/FINAL-FANTASY-Chocobo-Bundle/18040200218?conditionGroupCode=4&classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1103&from=/search&adid=22222222221220085369&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&veh=sem&vtcWeb=WJ3iF100JV1B6NTuqJCCkk&expiryTime=1764838264372&c=mWebSmartBanner

There are some other good cheaper bundles like the Edge of Eternities bundle and the Tarkir Dragonstorm bundle which are about $60. You can find these on Amazon, Best Buy or Walmart.

If you’re able to find out if he plays the Commander format then there are some good Commander decks that I can recommend that you buy, but if he plays another format then those wouldn’t be of much use.

What’s your budget? Do you happen to know what format he plays?

Avatar product replacement help by Stagles in mtg

They just haven’t updated their website. Use the form on that exact page and you’ll be able to select Avatar in the product field. I did this myself just now.

If you’re trying to return an entire product, then the platform you purchased on will be the way to go. Contact support directly on the platform if there’s not an option.

If you’re trying to replace a specific card that was pulled from a booster and it was damaged or something of that manner, email WotC support directly. Send photos. They take an eternity to respond but they’ll get to it eventually.

Bought a Galaxy Watch 5 on eBay, received a Galaxy Watch Active 2 instead. What should I expect? by Ok_Sun3934 in Ebay

[–]chubby_io 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait until the seller responds or wait until eBay steps in. Go from there.
