      Left them a neutral review for it arriving without damage but could easily have been damaged. They sent me a request to change it, and after not responding, they blocked me from buying from them 😂.

    I think this video is the best video I have seen in a while. Going through your purchased cards and buying NM and they arrive not in that condition is absolutely frustrating. If you are selling cards, take the time to package them properly and make sure the card you sold is actually in the condition you had put it up for. People need to be educated the difference between NM and LP/MOD. People dont use their brains and just throw it in an envelope and send it thinking all is good. Sellers have a standard that isn't being upheld and just ruins the experience!

    Mandatory viewing for TCG Player sellers! Check condition (both sides) before listing, and quit it with the tape addiction, and you'll be ahead of most sellers.

    • @jumpiestaman100
      @jumpiestaman100 Рік тому

      Tape is necessary typically, because you have to close the opening. Even if you also put the toploader in the team bag, if the card falls out, it can be damaged.
      However, if you use Masking Tape, it's actually perfectly fine, as it's easier to take out.

    Honestly this is the main reason I shop for singles on eBay specifically. The sellers usually have detailed pictures of the cards so you can see what you're buying before you spend the money.

    @Suzaku_Mizutani Рік тому +1

    Man, it's something I think I'll just never understand. Like, my first thought when someone complains about the condition of a card by looking at the back is "Well... just put it in a sleeve where you can't see the back, the front is what's important."
    And then I realize that most of the people aren't even going to use those cards, and that to someone who seeks to buy cards as investments rather than as a hobby, that kind of stuff actually does matter. It's just strange to me; I know I could never be a collector.

    @Cyberdarkvoid12 Рік тому +1

    I’ve had similar experiences with tcg but nothing as bad as what you got. Maybe a couple scratches and some scuffing. That star is just insane. I sell my cards in a penny sleeve then a normal sleeve so if it falls out it’s protected and then in a top loader. I do tape it because I’ve received a card where it fell out and kinda dinged the top but I suppose if double sleeve that probably won’t happen.

  • @sluggernott641
    @sluggernott641 Рік тому

    I'm a small seller on TCGPlayer. The cardboard sleeves are about 12-14 cents. Top loaders are about 30-35 cents each. I send cards that are 10 or more dollars in a top loader. I also sell cards down to 35 cents as well. Anywhere you can save some extra cents, it helps. All I'm trying to do is recover some of my money that I spent on my sealed product. If I buy 300 bucks worth of of sealed boxes, I make about 30-40 bucks back on it because I also collect as well as play, selling extras requires as much cost saving as possible while also trying to ship as quality is possible.

    • @JohnDoe-og2bt
      @JohnDoe-og2bt Рік тому +1

      You need to contact tcgplayer about it. They stand behind the listed condition and when someone sends the wrong condition it reflects on the entire platform. Apparently they throw their weight at the vendors because suddenly otherwise silent vendors start sending messages of apology and sometimes offer free cards on top of a replacement with free shipping.
