Ebay Player Break Question
Never tried one of these. Thinking of bidding on one for tomorrow.
Question:
Why would the breaker say it this way (primarily wondering about the business card)?: YOU ARE BIDDING ON A TOP LOADER WITH MY BUSINESS CARD, AS A BONUS YOU WILL RECEIVE ALL CARDS FOR THE PLAYER LISTED IN THE TITLE THAT ARE PULLED DURING THE BREAK.
Is he basically saying that if I end up getting shut out, that I have basically paid for his business card? Meaning that since I paid, he has to send something?

Yes, because the breaker is protecting themselves from participants that say I did NOT receive anything and file a Item Not Received claim which the seller will have NO proof of delivery if they didn't send anything.

You need to look for details because they each have different rules. I was in one break that only sent you what they called breaks (had to have jersey, serial number, autograph or jersey. Even if you got the top rookie picks for your team/s you didn't receive that card so be careful.

Yeah, I seen some stupid breakers that state "mailing hits only" and them "donating base cards to charity" - dumbest stuff ever.

You're not wrong on that.
Monopolies encourage dooshery, since the advent of the Industrial Era.
