Yes. The ignore list is our friend!

Default Topps Project 2020 is the worst product since 1991 Fleer

Welp. Got my first eBay return. “Card was loose and scratched. This is not due to price drop”.

You don’t think those people that bought Trout Ermsys for $2400 on eBay aren’t gonna somehow find a scratch on the case that “was not as described” eBay sucks for sellers we all know this
This is why I've moved over to using them. 100%

I’m really hoping that StockX gets huge card buying/selling adoption through this. I’m really sick of the Wild Wild West of ebay
One way is to be able to see a picture of the card. Probably not possible with StockX platform. Personally I don’t like buying site unseen. Great for sellers though. I sold about 10 cards on StockX this wknd and although I got less than the going rate on eBay, it was worth it. Don’t have to create a listing, no worries about payment, no shady buyers. Ebays system is broken so I’m happy to go elsewhere when possible.

Prob has nothing to do with the fact card is going for just north of $200?? LOL

Sorry brother ebay system sucks and there will be always gaming the system.

I'm just trying to help sellers out, it's obvious why I've received three item not as described cases and three requests for returns. I don't mind the request for returns because I don't offer them on Project 2020 and I can just deny them so I will not be reporting those buyers. But I have had to put up with a ton of messages from two other buyers: rungoodlife & cardsandstuff2731

There was one today that sold for 1,450 auction while others around the 1k mark.

Even with prices tanking still can't get to a print run under 20k. Card values may dip another 50% and we still won't see a sub 10k print run on a new card.

Is it mandatory to offer returns/refunds on on all eBay items?

Not a big deal. The product is much more popular today than it was 3 weeks ago when PRs were around there.

Prefer the Siff Ripken by a wide margin but the Beck one looks good too.

I have already spoke to eBay and they are looking into it. Part of me thinks this guy already did or will take card out and damage it to show pictures for his case. So I feel like I’m getting stuck with a damaged card sent back to me. Some people have no integrity.

eBay name is ryanmaa

Anyone know if there’s a way to see if a completed sale really happened or was canceled? I sold a card Friday that the buyer asked me to cancel a few hours later - it shows up still as a sale, artificially effecting the sales history of that item. I know there are sites that reveal BO prices (130point.com being one of them) - anything that shows what’s truly a sale vs. a cancellation/return? I understand why eBay wouldn’t want to make this info public, but I figured it might be available via API/services like BO prices are... Thanks.

I got in late, maybe on the 2nd hype wave... Hoping newbies and people with lots of cashola keep driving up the those print runs, so the 35,000's and 20,000's and 10,000's don't seem like a whole lotta!

how is stockx handling cards not yet shipped by topps? stockx usually only gives you 2 days to ship.

the highest bid for a henderson baller is $170 yet you can just buy another one on ebay for $80.

I have had three requests that I just denied because they weren't a complaint they were just an ask. I'm totally okay with this.

I have had three items from two buyers opened as "item not as described" cases against me (two ben ballers don't have numbers on their back saying which of the 36000 they are and one buyer claims his case is scratched). I assume I have a lot more coming to me
