If you sell on ebay, you are aware that ebay is always in favor of the buyer not the seller. A buyer can basically submit a refund request for anything they want and ebay will always justify giving them a refund. This is an issue for the seller, as you lose the sale price (have to refund the buyer) and many times also lose the card! Two common scenarios I keep facing regularly include: 1) Buyer says that they never received a card that is shipped via ebay standard envelope. This is impossible to dispute as ebay standard envelopes are just USPS standard mail with NO TRACKING. Even though ebay gives you a so-called "tracking number", it is not an actual tracking number and only registers when the item is shipped, not the statuses or delivery confirmation. 2) Buyer claims that they never received a card that is shipped via USPS ground advantage with actual tracking that shows the item was delivered. My approach for these 2 scenarios, as the buyer, is as follows: - Note, the dispute is typically open for 5 days. Thus, do not resolve it immediately, but do 100% resolve it before the end of the 5 days so that your seller account does not get dinged. - Start by immediately messaging the buyer to understand the situation and see what they did so far. - For the ebay standard envelope, convince them to wait 4-5 more days to see if the card arrives, inform them that you will issue them a refund if it does not, and then ask them to notify you later if they receive it after issuing the refund. - For the USPS ground advantage package, ask them to follow-up with their local USPS to confirm the package was delivered and that it was not a mistake by the system or they are holding it at the post office. - If you have to refund the buyer for ebay standard envelope you can get your money back on the loss via ebay's PIP program: https://www.pip-claim.com/PIPClaim/eBayIntClaim/CreateeBayClaim - If you have to refund the buyer for USPS ground advantage you can get your money back (up to the maximum insured value) via USPS direct: https://www.usps.com/help/claims.htm

Not a good look for BGS, when they are supposed to reopen today and their website isnt even up and has been down for a week now! Says it includes both the website and app! How in the hell does a company operating in 2026 take down their website and app?

Question on pricing this card at a 1/1. I pulled this from Pristine Auction in a pack with guaranteed auto for $40. On card ladder these were the last solds from the other 1/1 cards. Would I base it off of those?

If you don’t attend at least one a month, why not?

This is a pretty exciting offer that Fanatics Collect has launched on their platform. Anything that you have in your Fanatics Collect Vault and sell on their Fanatics Collect BIN marketplace is eligible for 0% selling fees if you get paid in FanCash! Note, FanCash cannot be retrieved/withdrawn to your bank account and must be used to buy other cards on Fanatics Collect. However, this is a HUGE opportunity for a SOLID alternate flipping strategy! https://support.fanaticscollect.com/en_us/fancash-no-fees-SyEB5XuBzx On Fanatics Collect you can buy cards in the BIN marketplace (search for cards showing as GREAT DEAL) that are well below Card Ladder's value estimate. Cards are then immediately vaulted and you can immediately relist them for sale at or slightly above comps. Easy quick flip for 10-20% ROI. Fanatics Collect also has Sunday night auctions that start ending at 1030pm EST. This is where you get the MOST deals. There are 1000s of cards that end every Sunday night and its overwhelming for most people to comp/check them all. There are always deals that go unmissed. Remember that there is a 20% buyers fee for the weekly auctions (take that into consideration when bid). Just look for top players/cards with a lot of comps, where the bid price is around 50-60% the comp. With the 20% buyers fee you will be in the 70-80% range and will have 20% or more margin left to resell on Fanatics. Note, cards on Fanatics marketplace do not get the attention that eBay does. Thus, it's advised to BUY only what you like and wouldn't mind keeping in your PC in case they don't sell right away and/or the comps change (come down). Note, Card Ladder is NOT PERFECT and has many bad comps and bad estimates. If you find these outliers you can really benefit and get some big wins/flips. Good luck with this alternate strategy, give it a try this Sunday! Let us know if have any questions or let us know what you buy/flip!
