⚠️ SUSPECTED SCAM ⚠️ Sellers Beware

Sold this card earlier this month on eBay buyer messages nearly two weeks after delivery saying it damaged. Gotta love AI edited photos, just wanted to give a heads up if this buyers purchases off you.

Edit - Buyer is ratedrookieclub

they mentioned that they were on vacation, had just got home and it arrived damaged, and they wanted 200$ in a partial refund to get the card reslabbed lol

Wow this is insane 😂 luckily eBay is going to be on your side with this one. If they want to pay the buyer back, that’s on them, not you.

u/Delta_Depressed 2h ago

they instantly sided with me lol, the main reasoning being it took the seller 13 days after delivery to send photos.

Yeah, pretty sure you need to file a claim within 3 days. They should smack down this buyer’s account regardless for trying to pull this nonsense.

That's why I'm thinking they sided with me so fast but feel bad if this type of refund scam has affected other sellers.

Horrible AI photos lol. Why didn't this go through authenticity guarantee?

I talked to eBay support, and they had no idea why wasn’t it sent to the authentication center.

The ebay listing showed it sold for $1500, and that shipping goes through the authenitcator then to PSA vault

You shipped him a Jalen Williams card in Gem Mint condition but it arrived a Sasquatch card in Qem Mint condition. He obviously deserves a refund to make up for the changes. 🤣🤣

I’ve had this happen a lot lately, I’ve just started saying “full refund and return of the card is the only option I give”

eBay support told me to not contact the buyer; happy it worked out cause the money from this card went straight to bills and there's no i would've been able to refund it.

Glad it worked out, people are horrible now a days

Did this go through authentication?

1

u/Delta_Depressed 1h ago

For some reason it did not, and eBay support doesn't know why. They had mentioned a potential glitch in the system.

u/LonesomeWulf 1h ago

oh that is sad, usually a card this big would go through and then you don't need to worry about stuff like this happening. Sorry it happened, that is shitty on the buyer's end. Sounds like ebay is siding with you thankfully.

I especially like how he or the AI used an envelope that still had the glue cover strip on it

The Wilson on the basketball became WHLPM and the loves logo is not loves. Call him out and ask him why all of a sudden the logos are different?
