Case in point, I just blocked alize2184 for making a $20 offer on a $200 item.

Bye-bye, m0r0n!

Low ball offers are annoying. You could be proactive and set minimum best offer requirements avoiding the annoyance. Though you can’t set a minimum on counteroffers. 

Those Millar Fantastic Four’s are real easy to spot and maybe the only time you can tell a newsstand vs direct by looking where the barcode and title are. If they’re on top it’s a newsstand.

This one?

 

Yes, I mistakenly stated 133 when it’s in fact 134. 

First Lara Croft. 

Or they could get rid of BS Qualified grades!? If a books missing a stamp then it’s missing a stamp. It shouldn’t be graded as if it didn’t have a major defect.

This seller seems to have several items, that when you go to the item, you see this message in the photo section.....

The "seller" is...igmsma_23

There is no option to "BIN" it on eBay, although a price of $2,910 is listed in the description.  Apparently you need to contact direct to purchase.  No surprise this seller has a feedback of 15 with numerous pages of items listed.

 

 

 

They are scammers. They actually hijack accounts and list a ton of keys. I run across them constantly and report them to eBay. 

If you’re blocking someone for making a lowball offer you should also block yourself. Why? Because you can set a minimum best offer and avoid lowball offers.

This is true, but most of the time, with my trouble buyers, the first sign that there may be trouble is that they have no feedback, or very low feedback, or it was a recently registered account. This last guy had a decent feedback of over 1000, 100% rating. So it surprised me, because usually if I'm stiffed, it's from a newbie or from what I assume is a shill account.

You can setup your account to block new accounts or set a level that’s acceptable to you.

Nice GR Silvestri newsstand! 1st appearance!

I picked up two more copies of GR28 from the same seller. This morning. Really nice, clean copies.

Thanks, I only wish the variant cover was in newsstand, as that features the character on the cover. It’s been on my list for several years and I’ve forgotten the characters name. It’s the Tibetan GR if I remember correctly. 
 

The Gen13 book is the first appearance of The Planetary characters. It’s an original story that only appears in this issue and C-23 #6, not including the collected editions. Which is one of my all time favorite series.

Another deadbeat/ghost. It really is epidemic these days. No pay, no communication, and it's odd because they have decent feedback as well.

eBay doesn’t allow sellers to leave negative feedback for buyers.  It’s not even an option and if a seller left a negative comment for a deadbeat buyer they can contact eBay to have it removed. So feedback isn’t reliable.

Says things came damaged - whatever - but says he is "texting" me and I'm not responding. Dude, you're not "texting" me because you don't have my phone number. I'm not sure what you're doing. I gave him a refund but I told him to never buy from me again.

eBay does give your phone number to both buyers and sellers. So it’s possible he’s trying to text you. 

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I bought a Swamp Thing #25 and the label states it’s a $0.95 Canadian Price Variant but it’s just the regular $0.75 newsstand edition. I know you guys like the census to be correct and it’s off by one book. Slab#3922987019. As well how much will it cost to have it corrected? Though I don’t know how it was labeled as a price variant when the cover price is on the book.
