Ends today - HOT! heres what I see “behind the curtain” on the Sellers side...

You’re beat - doesn’t matter that you’re right, and the buyer’s a tool. Can’t fight the Buyer Protection process eBAY has in place now~~ I just went thru this 2X! Relist and change your description to potentially reach new buyers who will pay even more —- like recovering “pain and suffering “ - no Lawyer needed have peace that every time you look in the mirror- you see you! Just think what the Tool buyer of yours sees when he looks at himself ( see pic ) .... that’s his punishment for screwing up your perfectly good sale

Seeing lots’a action! ALWAYS with this issue - ends tonight around 6:30pm

Well... I have to admit ... I’ve “eeked” out a tiny profit over the Years ....

@fastballspecial - I’ve sold some High Grade Moderns on eBay over the past 2 Weeks, since starting this thread, and do appreciate and used your advice ( seriously ) You’re obviously one of the sharpest knives in the drawer on these Boards This time, I did NOT give a numeric grade — just general info including a “generic/safe” description and NM for condition- and they sold for 75% of what they would have / should have - had I used my ‘normal’ detailed description -and a numeric & alphabetic grade ~ I’ve accepted that I will now have funds frozen on a few transactions, due to “never happy, returns are inevitable” Buyers..... I will NOT accept a 25% hit on everything, because I’m scared of those few buyers. Sell an Uber-High Grade 9.8 as a ‘dumbed down’, generic NM because “they” ‘might’ come across my auction and end up the high bidder? - that’s CRAZY! I’m not scared of anything, except Spiders — they absolutely horrify me 🕷

Well... 1+ week after my eBAy “ Hell Week” — frozen funds, unsatisfied ( unjustifiably! ) buyers, and reading all comments here, I have to come this conclusion: 1. eBay has NO viable competition for selling ‘RAW’ Comics 2. I will continue to use their Venue, and “Be Me” - Sell using my experience as an accomplished raw grader, and boldly state the numeric grade I assign to each and every sale 3. hope that one of ..... you? has the ambition, Financial backing, desire and energy it takes to “build a better mouse trap” ~ that I don’t! just listed 2 more raw, “my grade given” auctions, and moving forward ...

Venom 3 / 2nd Print / 1st Sleeper Cover — presently selling at $60 for 9.6/9.8 raw copies —- IMHO there’s seems to be MUCH more potential upside then downside —- ( but what do I know? - everything I touch seems turns to GOLD ... eventually )

I’m selling some VERY High Demand, HIgh Grade Moderns over the next 30 Days - stay tuned! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultimate-Fallout-4-1st-Print-Miles-Morales-9-6-NM-HIGH-GRADE-1-NR-KEY/174098304037?hash=item2889114c25:g:s7YAAOSwnihd0GNt

Interesting... why do you think this book has UF4 like potential?

$1 start / 3 Days / No Reserve! https://www.ebay.com/itm/2019-House-of-X-Powers-of-X-2-Putri-Connecting-VARIANT-X-Men-NM-MT-9-8-MINT/174097282250?hash=item288901b4ca:g:fpcAAOSwH41dpHxu

Come on - you’re “The Brain”! You see what I’m asking about, right? ( or did I drink too much tonight?! )

In 2019, the top book ( IMO ) that took the Market by Storm: Marvel Comics Presents # 6! I can’t think of anything that compares ... FOMO - or a belief that Wolverine’s Daughter would one day be a Marvel Movie Star? .. all I know is that the craze lasted for 3 or more Months - non-stop! pic is of my 9.8 “keepers”. I also fanned the fire on this issue, and probably bought / sold 50-80 copies myself this Summer - and I’m just 1 guy ( collector - not LCS owner ). 10 years from now — gold or fools gold? I have enough faith to stick with them (MCP6)...but they’re no sure thing! What’s your pick as the Top Book from 2019 that took off like a rocket? .... whether it made sense to or not!

Just don’t pay too much in 2005 .... then find out the hard way during the sub-prime crash of 2009– that the masses didn’t hold it in the same light you do ( did , shouldn’t have, whatever....,) when you send your copie(s) to Heritage to sell at a Signature Auction, because you need the money back you spent on them to pay for your own house, since your income dropped overnight by 80% -90% due to the mortgage meltdown / that ironically you contributed to at Wells Fargo as one of the Nations Top Subrime Loan officers.,.....while your wife’s at home Raising your twin sons, and you have a $3,800 mini-mansion mortgage you got for yourself because you could.... just saying.

No and N/A

If this isn’t a slam dunk 🏀 CGC 9.8 after pressing 📚, then I give up! ... and I’m switching to Stamp Collecting (and I HATE Stamps!)

It you READ what I posted — I returned 8-10 marvel comics Disney 1000’s... that were DESTROYED during shipping- due to poor packaging from the non- comic book sellers....Totally different situation

RE: buyer AGREED with my Description and Grading. He said he found a "very minor manufacturing defect" with one of the 2 book in this auction -- he attached pics -- I didn't see ANYTHING - no idea what the problem is ( he must have literally used a Microscope - or just be a nut job! ) / my problem = eBay! I called eBay / emailed the Buyer and Ebay -- letting them know I didn't print the book, I just sold it -- and the buyer admitted everything about my Ad was correct --it was a Manufacturing Concern. Here is the end result --- eBay Customer Support made a decision Hi showcase- We're sorry there was a problem with this transaction.
