Pretty sad experience today with a guy I'm pretty sure I've dealt with before. I know we can all wake up on the wrong side of the bed, but no one deserves to be attacked, insulted and sworn at on ebay for no good reason. And so I post this here as a warning to those currently doing business with Dauminator1215.

Last night he purchased an Aho YG Raw Card 9.5 from me. My listings, as they have been for nearly 20 years (powerseller) are some of the clearest listings on earth. Like many of us, I actually lose money on shipping. I am in Toronto and ship via Canada Post - tracking is around 10 bucks within Canada and 15-20 bucks USA.

Being that he is in the USA, I invoiced him, and he wrote back with some of the most outrageous reactions I've seen. He called me a "piece of ™™™™" and a "gouger" and demanded I cancel the auction, which I did. I explained to him that a) my listing was clear and b) that's what Canada Post charges. Not good enough. He called me a piece of ™™™™ again.

I promised him he'd hear about this and that there are consequences for behaving this way. He has all the opportunity in the world to ask questions and approach me as a man, not a maniac. So that's my story, and ebay's going to hear about it next. Be good and enjoy the hobby y'all

Not sure why people cannot be nice in their communication on eBay. Seem some crazy responses over the years.

I dont really have a grievance but has anyone else had problems with 1 cent "free shipping" sellers?

Not that it's a big deal, but I found it kinda amusing that I won a 12 card lot of Pro Set II Fedorov RC's, and I won the auction for 1 cent with free shipping and a few days later my mail guy comes to my door with a pink slip telling me that there is something at the post office (POD) waiting for me to pay for... I stop in after work and it was only a couple of bucks but I thought that was kind of a "bait and switch" tactic there... Sure, I will take a dozen Sergei Fedorov RC's for a couple of bucks, I would have paid the seller that for shipping but he sends it cash on delivery? c'mon... I don't leave negative feedback EVER so I gave him positive.. I mean I got the cards and I was happy so....

Not to get too far off topic but what I don't understand is how these sellers can afford to sell cards for a penny... They're basically giving away cards for free and then pay out of pocket to ship them? makes no sense to me... My theory is that their intent is advertising their pages and stores with those auctions.. You know, draw people in and have them check out what else you have and hope they bid on other cards.. Good tactic to draw them in if you're a whale... You can really rack up a tab if you're not worried about shipping or if your shipping is combined with some sellers, and that isn't a complaint - it's good for me and the hobby..

This may not be a popular opinion, but you should have left negative feedback or reported it to Ebay. They did not provide what you paid for, it's shady business practice and would make me question what other shady practices they do

I agree. That's a negative all day long.

Heads up : Ebay is now defaulting all 30 day listings as Good til Cancelled listings.

That's fraud, plain and simple. I would contact the seller and give him a chance to fix it or I'd be leaving a negative. Then I'd be contacting eBay. I have no problem paying for shipping, but don't tell me I'm getting something free of charge and then slip in some charges at the end. It's a deceitful way of doing business.

I've seen that also, tought the site was not working. Why are they doing this? More $ again for them?

Theyre probably promoting it as a additional feature for the benefit of sellers.

I have yet to find out how to remove the GTC without manually doing this on the last day of the listing as this does not work

How to remove automatic relisting

To remove the automatic relist option in Seller Hub:

1. Find the Active - opens in new window or tab listing.
2. Check the box beside the listing.
3. From Actions, select Remove Automation rules
4. Select Remove rule.

If you're using the advanced listing form you can also deselect Automatically relist this item up to 8 times if it doesn't sell in the listing form.
