Self Ebay Plug

Some of the cards you may have seen here on my site will be for sale on Ebay seller id: hertz27. Some of you may have even done business with me in the past and I was also recognized as the guy who always charged $1.65 or less for shipping ($1.65 combined no matter how many cards you bought). I've always gone out of my way for the customer and my feedback details says it all (100%). I've done many international sales and I've only ever had one problem and the guy ripped me off big time even after I provided proof that he signed for the item and that the item was delivered. Seems like there's always a bad apple in a bunch! However I still do international sales for the most part. Oh I'll have more than just sports cards for sale as I'm looking to do some spring cleaning as well. Some items you may see are drum parts, cymbals, comics, ex-wife, computer games, and many more different types of things.

Times are tough and the economy is tough and my wallet is getting tighter and when you have kids you have to find ways to make sure all the ends are covered because we all know how "little things" like to pop/creep up on you. Yes I am plugging myself!

Ebay Buyer SCUM and SCAM

I enjoy selling something on EBAY. I enjoy selling sportscards on EBAY. I like taking the time to do everything just right for the customer and clearly stating the requirements in the item description so their is no confusion on the buyers end. By the way.... DOES ANYONE READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTIONS ANYMORE? Then when it comes time for the payment to be due you send out notices and email the winners so they can have the invoice right away. What's that??? I have not heard back from you in 5 days so I'll send out another casual reminder. What's that??? It's been 14 days? Finally after filing a NPB you all of a sudden have contact from the buyer and then you begin having to hear all of the excuses as to why they forgot to pay. Here are some quotes that I received lately:

"Very sorry about that. Payment in full will be received by Friday if that is ok. Had an unexpected auto repair that has drained the wallet. I will not welch on this - I have over 1000 feedback (100%) so I can be trusted." THE GUY NEVER PAID!!!

"hello I have place the wrong click.. i was going to make a counteroffer hit the wrong bottom.. can you cancel this please I will make another offer.. thanks hope to hear from you soon.. I really apoligies for this inconvenience."

"Hello,I thought I had paid for this card as part of a larger payment that I made for several items more than a week ago. Then we left for vacation and I had very limited email access. We got back last night and I am now catching up with emails and discovered that something had gone wrong. I just paid for the other two items for which the original payment had not gone through, but I can't pay for this one because it has been cancelled on account of the unpaid strike that you filed against me.I apologize for the mixup, it was an honest error, though I'm still not certain of what went wrong. If you check my feedback you'll see that I always pay for my auctions and I do so in a timely basis.What can I do about this? Naturally, I still want the card.Please let me know.Again, my apologies for the delay in making payment, it certainly was not intentional." EDITORS NOTE: This JERKOFF then filed a item not received against me three weeks later and I had the last laugh as I produced his signature acceptance and delivery confirmation. He was left speechless when I called him and asked why he filed the "item not sent" complaint when I called his bluff and he didn't say anything for about 5 seconds and then began stating that his wife had picked up the package and took it to his desk and he didn't see it on his desk when I heard his wife in the background hollar that he already got the card. I called him a liar and hung up. ONCE AGAIN BULLSHIT LIES!!!

My favorite part is when you ship the product out and then 3 weeks later you get a claim of the item was not delivered. Here's where I like to stick it to the buyer so I don't get screwed over: I don't charge for delivery confirmation or signature required nor do I describe it in the auction listing. Then when I have the proof that it was delivered and signed for I just simply hand it in to Paypal and I email the buyer the confirmation information and then watch all of the excuses come pouring out again as to how they misplaced it or the signifigant other picked up the card or some other bullcrap excuse of trying to cover their ass cause they were going to rip me off. Then after all the dust has finally settled and another few days has passed I begin to fill out the feedback forms. I do not leave feedback unless it's left for me as I see that's only fair. The feedback the seller left for after attemtping to rip me off left was simply this statement, "thanks".

This is where EBAY needs to allow the sellers the opportunity to leave negative feedback for when the buyers pull this crap. But then again EBAY doesn't care about me, you, the BP oil spill, the gum on your shoe, the dead bird on the front of your car's grill, or how your Mom is making extra money on the side teaching a pole dancing class in your Dad's garage while soliciting Amish men. The fact is once EBAY has "their" money .....YOU ARE A PILE OF STEAMY, SQUISHY, "CORN VISIBLE IN THE PILE" OF SHIT TO THEM OTHERWISE. Prove me wrong!

Now at WalMart......Enough Already's E.P. The EBAY Gripe Sessions

I'm getting annoyed with all of the listings for 1/1's when there is NO 1/1 listed on the card anywhere. I do believe that is called false advertisement. I'm hoping someone starts buying all the false 1/1's and then when they get the card they file a complaint with PAYPAL because the seller is LEGALLY false advertising a product. You should really learn the legalities when listing Items on EBAY. You could have a field day with some of these listings with Paypal taking to the seller's side due to the listing title.

Here is a list of Ebay false 1/1 idiot listings:

This is just a plain out right joke.
Oh this one
This one is a winner!
This is the tea bagger!
THE GRAND DADDY OF ALL BOLONGA OF 1/1'S FALSELY ADVERTISED BUT LISTED AS NUMBERED TO 20 IN THE DESCRIPTION.

Then you get to some of these listings under the "Buy it Now" tab that just make you wanna either laugh at them for what they're asking for or just feel sorry for them. The best part is when your negotiating the "best offer" and then they quote in the email, "well according to Beckett Book Value". At that point I drop my business with them immediately. I usually find the card somewhere else for a third of the cost.

Let's take a look at some potentials:
Um.....yeah.....I don't think so bub!
Yeah....let me go right out the door!
Um....No sir...I don't like it.
Who the heck is that?
THIS IS THE KING OF EBAY FALSE LISTINGS!



On a happier note, I've surpassed 5,000 views. Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to even remotely look at my crazy world. Heck I would be happy just with 5 views let alone 5,000. Thanks guys!

Ebay's "HeRo Of ThE sTuPiD"

WOW......this just screams ugly of an EBAY auction listing. A PSA / DNA cut auto?

WOW! This guy has fallen off of his rocker a little. $19,685,250.00 is a little bit steep of a price to pay for Pat White cards.

Let's see.....hmmm......his rookie year but yet he was in the Pro Bowl??? There have been so many fake patch cards up on Ebay that it's just completely disgusting. Another thing that is getting out of hand is the shipping charges. I only ever charged $1.65 for shipping which gave you a sealed top loader and shipped out in a bubble mailer and sent first class. Never had a problem and I never had a complaint and I had been doing business on Ebay since Feb 10, 1999 (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=hertz27&ftab=AllFeedback&sspagename=STRK:ME:UFS). It amazes me that when you buy a $1.00 card and they charge you $4.00 for shipping and then when you finally get your card in the mail and you open the envelope and it falls out of a penny sleeve...yeah...automatic negative will be given in my opinion.
Oh by the way, I quit doing business on Ebay at the beginning of February this year because of the ridiculous fee's that have been brought on by Ebay and Paypal. Plus the fact they no longer really support the sellers and the feedback system stinks. So I closed out my account and I have yet to pay my Ebay fee's. I had sold a card to someone who claimed they never received it and then they turn around and tried to sell it on Ebay 3 weeks later. Do you think Ebay cared? Heck no. They did absolutely nothing even after presenting them with the proof from the auction and pics of the card (serially numbered- matched my auction and his). It took me getting the police involved and threatening to have the guy arrested for fraud (he did give me the money for the card finally thanks to the Sheriff's department). Here's a copy of it: Goes from newest to oldest.

First never defraud someone who does investigations. Bad move on your part. You can play coy on the phone all you want. You know very well which card we are discussing Maunel. Secondly I will give you notice that everything has been transpired between us including the emails have been faxed to the Tulare Sheriff's office and at the fax number they gave me 559-591-5875. 15 pages worth. feel free to call and confirm it if you like. I also turned all of the information into paypal as well. I am more than willing to work with you and give you a chance to either send my card back to me in the condition as described and as seen in the auction or you can pay me the money owed as what is was in the auction. Your other choice is facing legal action and I am prepared to do so. If you send me the card or pay what is owed I will not press charges. I give you my word on that Manuel. People make mistakes and can be forgiven for them. I will tell you I do not harbor any anger towards you. I just want to know why you lied. I will call the Sheriff's Dept and tell them to drop it if you work with on this. You already gave me all the proof I needed to go forth with everything. The choice is up to you.

This is manuel villegas ebay ohscards. Mycal is the account on this computer. I found the guy that i sold the card to. I am trying to pick it up on thursday. I will scan it and send it to you. I rather have it thru paypal and I will send with confirmation. Here is my cell number xxx-xxx-xxxx.

I'm also sorry but I most apologize but I am confused a little. Am I speaking to manuel? I don't believe we properly introduced ourselves and we're writing back and forth all this time. At least that is who the seller on ebay told me your name was. Is it Mycal or Manuel- not to be rude I'm just trying to write to someone properly. Also how can we do payment? Can it be through Paypal? UPS COD? Thanks!

My number all throughout school was 58. My number in college was 58. So when I am collecting cards I try to find the serially numbered ones like 58/300 or 58/250. Some would call it weird or something along the lines of OCD, I don't care. Back in the beginning of dec I saw a leaf mcfadden materials autograph on ebay and I tried to get the seller to end the auction early and he wouldn't. I saw that it was sold before I could get home in time to bid on it. So I figured I'd try to take a shot at and I would be willing to offer you more than what you paid for it. That is the reason why I emailed you.

THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY EBAY SUCKS!!! BECAUSE OF GUYS LIKE THIS WHO TRY TO RIP PEOPLE OFF. EBAY DON'T SUPPORT THE SELLERS. THEY ONLY SUPPORT THE BUYERS.
