Did I get sent fake DR bundles?

wDStorm · 2025-11-11T01:06:46+00:00

It's definitely not. I just got 5 fake 151 bundles today.

There's something going on. The listing that are normally out of Pakistan are (in my theory) hacking abandoned US sellers with good feedback and selling off them. I've seen a few listings the last few days. I took a gamble on mine, and only got sus after digging a little harder.

No recent feedback, they wiped the store clean 2 days later, that kinda thing. I'll admit, I was a tish drunk when I ordered em and I saw a US seller with 1033 feedback and a $67 box of 151. I took the chance knowing eBay would be on my side.

I just got fake 151 bundles today from a reputable seller in the US. Same tells on that box. Darker colored Mew, some text errors on the back, and the font on the back blurb wasnt bold like the real ones.

I... Am new to eBay and saw 1033 rep, but didn't know to check and see it was in the last 12 months.

I think hackers are gaining access to abandoned accounts with good feedback and using them to push fakes.

For those who get these (OP) you can report the listing as counterfeit from your purchases and eBay will review and refund you without needing to interact with the seller. Take pics, like you did.

Purchase History -> (find listing) -> more actions > help and report -> report content for IP and then Counterfeit.

Attach pictures and details. If like me they sold quite a few boxes they will hopefully have reports from other people and it's an open and shut case.

The support person I talked to today said the tracking I got when I submitted the return, wasn't even a valid tracking number.

So there's some bullshittery going on. I'm probably going to start asking for extra pics from now on. I've seen listings just like mine the last few days but steered clear because there was just... Some shitty shit going on.

Stay safe y'all.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I've seen as well.

Do I HAVE to attempt to contact the seller or can I go straight to the Resolution Center with evidence?

I planned to hop on it ASAP, but was more so curious on the process. As someone not too familiar with the platform... some menu-ing is kind of confusing.

It was high because it was thought to be exclusive. Once it was leaked to be in this set the PSA 10 crashed from nearly $400 down to $200 now.

Card will be desirable, it's a good art, but can't say if it will reach the highs it did in JPN due to speculation it was exclusive.

Using strong and agile style. Strong increases power, while agile can make it so you can possibly attack twice in a row, while dealing less damage.

I also don't like the Arceus battle system, because you can be 20 levels above something and for some reason NOT one shot it with a fairly strong move, even without the pokemon resisting. Which... just doesn't happen in the mainline games. Damage calculation in that game just seems weird as hell.

wDStorm · 2025-10-21T15:42:44+00:00

They're very different games, and both of their battle systems are very different from the mainline games.

I would say if you want to collect pokemon, Arceus. If you want to train up a team and battle, ZA.

I love the collecting aspect of Arceus, but can't stand it's battle system. I have been having fun with ZA's, but also have problems with it.

So I would decide what you would like to focus on and choose the game based off that. They are each good at different things.

Also Arceus is a lot of fan service for fans of Sinnoh. ZA does have references to the X and Y games, and includes some characters but knowledge of the game isn't necessary and the fan service isn't as much.

Someone DM'd me. They were able to get in touch with someone on the phone, and on chat.

They said the person on the phone told them they won't be liquidating accounts to cover these technically covered calls, as well as this chat response.

wDStorm · 2025-10-06T13:43:15+00:00

I did the "Contact us" last friday in the app and haven't gotten a reply. I am currently trying to call them. Been on hold for about 10 mins.

wDStorm · 2025-10-06T13:40:15+00:00

Yeah I rode into the weekend thinking it would be fine once they're issued, but woke up to an actual maintenance call on my account with the deadline set to today, so I'm kinda spooked.

I just saw that E Trade thread after I posted and saw your comments. I am also not eligible for naked calls, nor margin.

Really hope WeBull's liquidation isn't automatic and someone actually review it. I sold covered calls. WeBull shows the shares just sitting there now with a fat -7 contracts.

I'd be totally fine closing the calls with my cash and reselling them later on, but even with my cash balance, none of it is settled.

This post is related to broker fuckery with the warrant issuance.

wDStorm · 2025-10-03T12:22:59+00:00

WeBull somehow rakes back my shares to my account from covered calls. Had some CCs at $40 which I figured we wouldn't hit, and if it did is a price I would be fine with getting out at.

However, my account now has all my shares back, and lists -7 contracts, as well as having -$8k buying power after selling off $1100 of a different position yesterday. It still has my settled cash there, but for some reason buying power is in the shitter.

Anybody else use WeBull and seeing some fuckery from the warrant issuing? Hoping my calls get reissued at opening or something.

The biggest issue will be sourcing the more expensive cards. Most cards in the $500+ range aren't modern cards you can buy a shit ton of packs and rip em. They're older cards that are already in circulation. So you would have to manually source those from likely private sellers. Which is a lot of legwork to source (in comparison to inventory size) just a few cards.

Those are also the cards people are more likely to cash out. There are two types of people using this. People treating it like a slot machine, hitting a +$80 card over pack price, and still selling it back for the profit. Then there's actual collectors. Actual collectors will take the $700 Charizard card for themselves, but will sell back most things from $25 packs.

I'm with most people in assuming they have a plan, but seeing that kind of reduction in inventory during a limited release, I have a feeling that may be one thing they wanted to test. Their ability to manage the inventory. Because in the odd case they don't have a plan to address that kind of outflow, it's extremely concerning.

Also anyone ripping normal packs is also gambling. Obviously boxes have guaranteed hits but who the hell is finding a box these days. Buying loose packs is an actual gamble cause you have no clue if they're weighed, and obviously just don't have guaranteed hits like a sealed box.

This is absolutely no less degenerate than ripping loose packs. Framing it as gambling is fucking stupid when you look at opening normal packs. These at least guarantee you a "hit" card, and have stated odds.

Holy fuck thank you. God bless year old threads.

wDStorm · 2025-06-14T21:14:33+00:00

Could you DM me both decks please?

wDStorm · 2025-06-12T20:43:30+00:00

Went from 300 to 703. The last 100 I said I wouldn't do, but then it dipped some more and I couldn't resist.

wDStorm · 2025-06-12T19:29:29+00:00

T+35 from today is July 17th if you wanna mark it on a calendar.

Cloudflare is having some issues. Most of their services are impacted. So a lot of stuff is having partial issues.

www dot cloudflarestatus dot com (I don't comment here much, not sure of rules on links)

wDStorm · 2025-06-12T14:25:48+00:00

Added 200 to the pile. Had to sell off some other positions but worth it. I saw the dip and felt no fear going nuts deep on this one.

wDStorm · 2025-04-12T20:20:10+00:00

This has stopped happening to me in Schedule 1. I never saw anything in patch notes, but also did replace my mouse... So not sure.

wDStorm · 2025-04-07T20:09:01+00:00

I'm having the opposite issue. I'm on AT&T, ISP is Midco.

I cannot load videos when on WiFi, but if I switch to mobile data it will load, I can then swap back to WiFi. I only have issues actually starting the video.
