its the unpaid auctions that are the killer for me. i'm not so bothered by the inchoate offers. losing a week to some joker with 8 feedback points (half of which are registered as positive but contain negative comments by sellers to warn other sellers) is what really gets to me.

Just have to check who is bidding on your item with like 1-2 days left - any 0 review profiles just cancel their bids and block them:

https://www.ebay.com/bfl/cancelbid

https://www.ebay.com/bmgt/BuyerBlock

That said, I've still been burned many times on auctions. Would be great if they instituted the payment verification method there too..

yeah, uh, hello and welcome to eBay however that is not salient advise for any number of reasons and especially for those of us with more than 3 cards for sale. moreover, i'm unsure you have the requisite experience for giving out advice of the sort. should you wish to avail yourself of the expertise of sellers like myself with over 23 years on the site i welcome your queries...

^------ What a !&@!


Most sellers note that they should be contacted previous to bidding if you a zero feedback bidder. If I had 4 expensive cards for auction and I see the same 0 FB bidder, bid them up without a simple message to me, I'm blocking them with all 24 years of my experience

Lol and I'm the !&@!? Get a clue. I've got 37k cards on eBay at the moment. You don't know what you are talking about so maybe you're "24 years of experience" isn't worth jack? This eBay seller trying to stop bad advice certainly thinks so...

I know they probably don't but Topps should be panicking anytime a Sapphire product sits like F1 is right now.

They'll pull it from the site eventually and sell it backdoor.

It sure feels like whoever decides pricing just throws a dart at the board and calls it a day.

They sold out in minutes with a higher price on the overseas sites. I'm guessing they reallocate how many boxes each site gets for future drops.

selling out on uk.topps means nothing unless you know how many were allocated for each site.

Hopefully taking notes for when they decide in prices for SW and future Sapphire products.

With Galaxy being priced triple that of last year, I don't have high hopes.

Topps tends to keep the Sapphire stuff at the same print runs as previous years. Not many deviations that I have noted except for 2021 Bowman Sapphire was double 2020.

With my 25 years of experience I reach out to every bidder with an interview form and remind them that all actions have consequences. Has worked every time.

Also every eBayer had 0 feedback at one time. I've had 1000+ feedback bidders that don't pay. In 2023 everyone is a suspect.

My 25+ years experience with eBay is a large reason I've moved most of my buying and selling over to myslabs.com.

Without checking eBay listings/sales, I have a feeling that you'll be able to score some boxes for around MSRP once all are shipped out.

Sold....to 3rd parties. No way did this sell out on the website.

Now distributors can raise the price and offer "sales" at still too high of price for promos and such.
