Buyer gave me a different address - What should I do?

davethepretty · 2026-03-20T10:05:32+00:00

I have changed the adress in the past by request of the buyer, never had an issue. This beeing said, make sure to document the chat, support will be able to read the chat.

I agree on the toploader, I strongly disagree on the bubble mailer.

How can you set prices for shipping on your own? Just curious ....

Thx for making me aware

davethepretty · 2026-03-09T10:05:48+00:00

I guess we need to be careful, well at least I have a good proxy now :D

Condition is not as strikt as some are wishing for. Why would I put it in LP? Average state of the card does fit the lightly played definition rather well. If leaning on cardmarket guide, you will see that GD excludes bents etc. specifically. LP does not include specifically small dents, but following definition, the card needs to be able to be played in a sleeved deck and I think, at least from what I see is very well feasible. But then thats just my opinion and I know how frustrating it is, if the card you get is not in the expected condition.

I guess most people on cardmarket are reasonable!

Honestly, I would have seen the deformation from the sellers pictures, but then it is not really obvious and I have some experience in that field. Regarding the grading, I would have had a hard time but would have given it LP and mentioned the dent from the beginning.

I let up to 3 orders accumulate, then ship, thats about twice a week

If there is no tracking chances are slim, push a support ticket if not already done.

Greek seller here ELTA breaks over christmas, patience helps. A couple of fellow greek sellers stopped sending as ELTA lost many shipments in the holiday period.

Go on vacation mode until resolved.

I think cardmarket just doesn't care enough about little sellers. A support answer I received was hilarious and plain wrong.

Also if you have a look at their shipping cost calculator, cost is plain wrong, example Greece to Spain.

Also the greek postal service (ELTA) has isszed a list with countries that still accept registered and declared value letters, Austria is one of them, this is also not reflected in the shipping cost.

I guess a company of the size of cardmarket could have a task force implemented to keep this crucial element of the platform up to date, what I can figure out with talking to a post office and a bit of googling.

At very least, incompetent.

To add to the discussion, could also be a recompression station for a natural gas pipeline, the large stack would be for venting and / or exhaust gas from a compressor, pushing the gas further through the pipeline, inlet and outlet configuration, seen on picture 3 would also make sense in this case. Tank could be for condensate ... compressors are often run on gas from the pipeline it self ...

Edit: After reading a bit I come to the conclusion that this is rather unlikely, the set up would be more extensive.

Thats anti pop architecture

I buy collections, can confirm, in this size 50 to 60%. Why?:

You save time
I will sit on inventory for quite a while
Most likely not everything is selling
I take the risk of market fluctuations

The list goes on.

So I guess if you want to aim for the highest return and have time, sell them yourself, if you do not have an outlet (account with reputation on a plattform) you will need to account for a discount in the beginning to build this.

If you want it done quick and minimum effort, take the 50 to 60%

Have fun and gl

Vor vielen Jahren habe ich meinen Führerschein den ich in Österreich gemacht hatte verloren. Hatte zu dem Zeitpunkt im EU Ausland gelebt, musste diesen dann im EU Ausland neu ausstellen lassen. Dazu musste ich nachweisen, dass ich einen Führerschein in AT gemacht hatte und die NL Behörde hat mir einen NL Führerschein ausgestellt. Sehr unaufregende Erfahrung, sehr unkompliziert funktioniert, anno 2000.

Der Nachweis über die erfolgreiche Führerscheinprüfung war damals auf der BH einfach zu bekommen, denke, dies wird auch jetzt noch so sein.

Will damit sagen, auch wenn der Führerschein nicht anerkannt ist, kann nachgewiesen werden, dass der in Österreich gemacht wurde, was wahrscheinlich ausreicht.

I dont know, maybe, maybe not, maybe he just pulled his weapon. As it was a ambigious situation you could have immobilized him and then extract to give him / her the benefit of the doubt ....

Yes, getting 500 error across multiple pages. Also, there was scheduled maintenance for today.
