Happened twice to me, then I found a lot more reputable stores. I'm also convinced, like many others, that they send back played versions of cards that you sent in as NM. It would be a nice experiment to try some day with invisible ink and a UV light; food for thought.
The one good thing that came out of that mess (I had just started playing) is that I got tipped off to communities like MOTL, and stores like SCG, CFB, T&T, and CoolStuff. Why would you ever do business with MTG Fanatic if the aforementioned stores exist?

Yeah that was my 1st transaction with them, wont do that again. I often consider buying/selling to SSG and but their prices are so uncompetitive I just look elsewhere. T&T and coolstuff are nice though, I have had nothing but good experiences with them. Those two are the two cheapest places for sealed products I know of. Ebay, MOTL and, in my experience, believe it not, MTGS trade forum are really your best bet if your willing to put the time into it.
Just a lil' testimonial:
On the Sunday before the most recent bannings, I placed a 'sell' order to ABUgames.com. I sold off 12 shoals, a set of vesuva, and a bunch more stuff. Total was about $245. I was worried, though; if any of that stuff was getting banned, my package wouldn't arrive in their hands until at minimum two days after the banning. They might reject my sale, or try to buy the cards at the 'new' price. But since I had gotten such a sterling recommendation from my friend who has done quite a bit of business with them (think: a dozen beta duals, an entire foil EDH deck), I went ahead with it.
They accepted it all and paid me every cent. Granted, I did place the order two days prior to the bB&R update (as opposed to 10 minutes after), and that probably helped. But they honored every price I sold at, to the penny, and I would gladly sell to them again.
