    Sticky: Re: How to get the most out of Ebay

    Granted my knowledge is a few years out of date, so things may have improved since.

    I hope you're prepared to lose the card and the money. Any shipping without web-accessible tracking is an easy way to lose a PayPal dispute. This is why I stopped shipping internationally on eBay...

    He's likely trying to rip you off - there's no way a card in a bubble mailer mysteriously developed creases.

    At the very least, you can file a dispute as "condition not as described" and send it...

    Depends what you mean by "what it's really worth". The highest possible price you can find someone selling a card for (eg, SCG) is not what most people would call "what it's really worth". A dealer...

    Sticky: Re: How to get the most out of Ebay

    No, that's not going to help. If you have cards you think won't sell for more than $1 alone (or as a playset), you're pretty much left with taking all of those not-valuable cards and putting them all...

    You basically trade money for time. The more time you spend selling, the more money you can make - the more time you save, the less money you make. You're not going to get anywhere near "SCG price",...

    Did you read the thread?

    Ship with delivery confirmation at minimum, preferably also tracking and maybe insurance. Don't sell outside the US, it's not likely worth the extra risk. Set your Bidder...

    Europe is much more problematic for PayPal, though.

    You shouldn't be shipping to a non-Confirmed/Verified address anymore, and that's much less prevalent in Europe.
