I put each card individually in penny sleeves, then top loaders, then blue tape on four sides, with a pice of cardboard top and bottom covering the cards and place them in a bubble wrap mailer. A couple days later he PM me that the Manny Machado RC was missing. I couldn't believe he was lying to me like that. I was so angry that he was scamming me for another Machado RC card. Fearful of getting 1 or 0 stars I sent him another one. I have made very few trades since then. It's sad that a trader left such a bitter taste in my mouth that I no longer trust trading on this site. Thankfully I've have a great experience trading with bonds20001, who has helped to restore my faith in this site. Thanks for taking the time to read my 2 cents on my bad experience. I just wish there would be more honest people out there. But I guess there's always going to be dishonest people in our society....
Back when I first started selling on eBay I would send out the cards in bubble mailers without tracking to save on postage.
I sold a Jose Calderon 1/1 basketball card for $71, sent it out and like two weeks later there still was no positive feedback.
The guy contacted me and said he never got it so I had to refund his money ... no way to prove he got it.
My other favorite eBay story is underestimating the shipping on a hand-collated set of 2005 Topps football cards ... I estimated $7 and it was like $11 ... then the set sold for 99 cents, so I actually ended up paying someone $3 to take my set from me.
