I enjoy seeing great ebay fails. Let's post the ones we find. First up is this Esposito "game used" stick. Why would Esposito been playing out, even for a camp? Plus, if he used this in a camp, it wouldn't be "game" used. I also can't tell if the seller wrote "Game Used" or if he asked Tony to sign it that way.

Growing up, I attended a number of hockey schools and goalie camps. In most of these camps, the goaltending instructors rarely dressed as goaltenders but preferred to wear player skates, track suit, hockey gloves, and you guessed it, used a player's stick. So I believe that Tony O could have used this stick in a camp, maybe not an NHL camp, but as an instructor or coach definitely possible.

As for the "game used" inscription who knows, I'm inclined to agree with you that it cannot really be referred to as "game used" if it wasn't used in a game.

We already have a huge sticky thread for eBay stuff. Merged with that discussion.

Came across another useless scammer on Ebay over a Boeser YG for $60. Please block him and protect yourselves!

I've never had so much not received claims than in the last 2 months. Has this happened to other sellers on here? Losing a ton of money. I'm thinking about shipping all my cards with tracking, losing too much money.

Why would you not? I thought for sure I would lose business when I started charging for shipping. The reality is that my eBay store took off, and I could not be happier. I still have a ton of orders every week where all the buyer gets is a $1 card or coin plus $2.75 shipping.

I am charging for shipping 3$ to Canada and 3.75 to USA, untracked, in Canada the costs are very high for tracked shipping, about 14$ to Canada and 18$ to USA. I will probably change my policy which was shipping obligatory over 100$, might bring it down to 50$ or 75$, losing too much money right now.

I charge $10 shipping to Canada, which for me has tracking. I understand what you mean about high shipping costs, but if someone really wants what you have and you are not overcharging for shipping, then it should be understood. I looked at your listings, you should be sending everything with tracking. By doing this you will weed out most dishonest buyers and give the honest ones more confidence in your items.

I have heard that eBay will be requiring tracking on every item sent. This change may actually take place before the end of this year.

I understand but not everybody wants to pay 15$ for shipping on a 5$ card!

That will bring an end to lower-end cards on ebay!
