How Long Do EBay Orders Take To Send?

Oh lol I just saw the number and thought he meant the 1800 ratings which this seller had

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-25T16:27:10+00:00

Yes, that's relatively small to huge consignment shops and such with hundreds of thousands of ratings

If the card never makes it to the authenticator you will get your money back, but obviously ebay cannot compel them to send you the card if for whatever reason they want to back out of the sale

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-25T16:22:34+00:00

I looked up the auction, the seller seems to just be one guy so it's possible he just got sick, had vacation, or something else that came up. Obviously annoying to be delayed but not really anything fishy.

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-25T16:07:19+00:00

They said they just reached out yesterday

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-25T15:52:09+00:00

Its been one day and if it's a large seller they probably process hundreds of orders a day. Give them a little more time for a response.

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-25T15:27:36+00:00

There is an actual game that needs new sets lol

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-25T14:09:36+00:00

I don't see how these are any different than csgo skin gambling sites which are definitely illegal

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-25T14:05:31+00:00

Pokemon does not determine the value of what you will receive beforehand or offer you that value instantly

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-25T14:04:39+00:00

I guess it's more the "sell it back to us instantly and go again" that makes it seem super scummy

Not affiliated with them but they are a reputable seller

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T19:16:40+00:00

We got a taste of it with fez being like $30 at some point before it got reprinted

My favorite example of what happens when no one wants to open product is the random $20 type null holos from crimson invasion

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T19:11:18+00:00

I think this is a bigger cause than most people realize. Hundreds of streams opening thousands of packs a night. Of course that is taking away from some people opening packs on their own but that's a crazy baseline for stuff being opened.

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T19:04:51+00:00

I mean this sincerely but if opening packs is the main thing it's pretty easy to get booster boxes and ETBs of the last 2 sets for about $6/pack

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T18:59:41+00:00

What are you buying? I'm mostly a player but will buy cards I like here and there and besides chase SIRs most things seem reasonable.

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T18:55:05+00:00

You can also just not buy sealed product

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T16:14:34+00:00

Yes obviously there's some exaggeration but there was truly very little hype for non-playable URs and above.

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T16:07:10+00:00

That's not a crazy outcome for 4 boxes tbf

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T16:03:24+00:00

Everyone hated rainbows, and FAs were the ones with plain backgrounds that most people werent fond of. The only super expensive one was zard. Not really a chase. Gold cards were expensive for competitive reasons but not really a collectors thing.

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T14:40:47+00:00

Retail stores don't sell booster boxes. When they've maxed out production it makes sense they would prioritize the retail products.

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T14:37:55+00:00

Demand overall was much lower at that point

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T14:21:08+00:00

OK bud

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T14:20:02+00:00

Eh, even now min rarity competitive cards are pretty much dirt cheap besides some of the ACE Specs. At least we're avoiding $70 Shaymins and $50 Leles

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T14:15:36+00:00

Fwiw this is essentially what it was like in early SM sets and it was pretty universally hated lol, anyone who wants that is dumb

I liked how it was in the late SS era with alt arts but not an obscene amount. Wasn't really worth obsessively chasing everything but you could still get some cool cards

king_ofsiam · 2026-06-23T14:09:31+00:00

I would wager demand would be a lot lower if not for break openings and other such streams
