buyers also need to stop buying raw cards and expecting them to be gem mint......

Absolutely.

I had the same situation as you stated happen to me last week. I listed the card as NrMt-Mt which it was. It had one tiny indent on the card the size of a pin but it would still grade at least an 8 which is NrMt-Mt. I took the return and then blocked the buyer. Sold the card last night again on Ebay for $15 more than I did on the last sale. I'm getting tired of buyers being a PIA so I am keeping a small portion of my collection PC and selling off everything else. It's not worth the hassle anymore

Couldn't have said it better myself. When I resold the card I stated in the auction that it was NrMt-Mt or BGS 8 which is how it would grade.

Thanks to all that posted their thoughts and experiences. While I do believe in customer service, I am not a big time retailer, just a guy that likes to bust the latest products and just trying to make back a portion of what I bust...so it's tough when buyers nowadays expect so much. It is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

I tend to even block bidders if they bother me with offers when they are unsolicited. They can get really irritating. I know they're just trying to get the best out of their money, but they don't think about the fact that a lot of the smaller ebay sellers are actually just collectors or guys trying to make back 30-50% of their busts.

Thanks again to everyone who responded!

The worst part is that they are usually buying so that they can grade the card and turn around and resell it for more. Just one more reason I am not a big fan of grading (especially for modern cards). The perceived price increase for a grade can be ridiculous
