Comc and EBay

[OLDPAPER]

I am not concerned about the shipping either...If I need it quicker...I will pay for it...it is a baseball card, not a heart transplant.

Instead, it's because they are relocating inventory due to expansion based on high amount of submissions. The relocation etc has delayed things.

He said my order would ship on the 21st of this month.

Can't say I'm happy but at this point they hold the power.

Good to hear they responded. Sorry about the answer. I knew they were working on relocating, but hadn't heard anything about it tying up their resources. They really should have put out an announcement about that. I think they would credit you the difference between priority and standard if you ask. It's the least they could do, and probably should've been offered in their response. They obviously didn't meet their committed date.

They actually did refund my $9.99. I should have added that and didn't in my rant. Comc gave back my 9.99 priority cost, which was a kind gesture. I'd drill have rather paid the 9.99 and gotten sooner. A few of the items were a gift for a July 22nd birthday. Figured I'd ordered early enough based on past experiences.

I do agree it sucks that the delays weren't announced ahead of time, but there's not much to do about them now. At least it looks like they're trying to make amends for the issue.


On a separate topic... It does look like low end cards are getting rounded up to $1 now. I've had a few sales of $.60 lately, which would be my cut of $1 sale. I don't know what price I had listed for them, but in most cases there have been a few cards listed below that amount when I check what's still available. Sorry if this topic was done, but last I remember there was still some doubt.

So I just made my July $100 monthly purchase from COMC the other day and was shocked to see they upped the standard shipping on their site to match what they are charging on E-bay and it now will take me longer to get my cards.

Just noticed that they are changing the seller code at the end of auctions on items that are purchased on site. I had two cards purchased by others that used to show up under my code that are now showing under the other two codes.

I was wondering if they were going to fix this. They are up to almost 40,000 items sold and the negative feedback has slowed down a bit. I imagine once they get a handle on staffing and process it will be a huge success.

Some of cards that i bought on the site for flipping still doesn't show in ebay, under my code or previous seller code.

This is bothering me a little, since us seller/flipper can't use advantage to flip sell hot cards immediately in ebay.

Do you have multiple copies of the card already listed? I noticed that on my cards that I have more of one in inventory, that only one of them is listed on ebay, and not all of them. I don't know if that's your situation, but might be something to look at.

I noticed that for multiple copies, they only listed the cheapest. But for my case is new cards that i don't have copies.

I think if i make offer and seller accepted, the card is not immediately listed in ebay (using my code or previous owner code). But if i buy now and list, the card is immediately listed again in ebay using previous owner code.

So I'd always priced things at 74 cents as when the 25 cents is added then I figured it was better to have things priced at 99 cents rather than one dollar. Hey...never a big deal but I figured 'why not' and now I have this ungodly number of cards priced at 74 cents.

Fast forward now to the cross-listed eBay listings coming about. Seemingly the 74 cent listings aren't included. Only cards 75 cents and above seem to be present (anything below that simply isn't). So first off, can any of you confirm that is true based on what you're seeing? Also just be make sure, if you price cards at 75 cents then they're still free of the storage fee, correct?

Overall, it seems then like the difference between 74 and 75 cents is pretty massive after all if the 74 cent cards aren't cross-listed.

You won't get charged the storage fee for cards priced at 75 cents. To verify, go into your inventory manager and filter by "subject to storage fees". Your 74 cent cards will eventually once all cards get posted to eBay. There are still a ton left to go up and I am guessing they are starting with cards $1 or over.

[Swipe79]

If they were already showing on eBay before your purchase, then I have no clue why they aren't showing up.

If they weren't already on there, it's probably that they are in line to get listed still. I only have a little better than 50% of my stuff listed right now.

Some of my vintage Pokemon cards are selling now. Looks like the PokemonGo crowd has gotta catch all the old cards they didn't have when they were middle schoolers.

I've sold a few Garbage Pail Kids in the last week. Why do I even own Garbage Pail Kids?

Yes they are on ebay before i purchase it. That's why it bothering me a little because i expect it will be listed immediately in ebay with previous seller code.

this one example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Bowman-...-/231998895701

it's still not listed in ebay although it was listed before i purchased it.

Why not? I've made some great GPK flips.

I just don't know why I bought them in the first place. When the craze hit a couple of years ago I bought a few blasters just to see what was up and ended up with a bunch of stuff I had no use for. I actually wish I had my originals from childhood, I had a freaking ton of them and they disappeared.

They told me explicitly that everything will be included. But right now, they don't appear to be.

[ga5150]

Could it be 4192 "unique" users feedback, but the higher number is total feedback, including multiple feedback from the same buyers? Example: buyer bought 20 cards and left 20 feedbacks (reflected in bottom number), but is only counted once in the top number.

So, 4192 unique Ebay buyers left 15k total feedbacks.

Just had about 1000 cards hit around a week ago.

Have had a lot of sales go thru eBay.

Very happy with the eBay partnership.

Will start regularly sending in cards to COMC again due to this. Hadn't sent in any in awhile before recent batch due to, what I felt, were declining sales on the site.

Hopefully this will continue.

Wow.

Their feedback shot up FAST.

Seems like maybe 3 weeks ago it was less than 100.

Still have another 400 or so to go.

A lot better than the last couple submissions I had.
