Hooray for Leslie Phillips Alan Rickman and Robbie Coltrane should be feeling very ashamed of themselves when someone of Leslie's advanced years takes the time and trouble to sign but they wouldn't. |

That's called bait and switch. The seller should either offer you a partial refund and allow you to keep the card, or ask you to mail the card back and give you a FULL refund (including shipping). You're right, there's nothing in the listing to indicate that you wouldn't receive the exact card. The seller might have "borrowed" the image from another auction, thinking no one would care if the swatch on the card didn't match the one in the auction.

Yeah, that really stinks! Definately let us know what happens on this. BTW, are the bottom corners dinged up or is that just a shadow on the scan?

Ohhhhh NOOOooooooo not again!  :'( That's not funny Jackie and I'm fed up of keep seeing this happen.  I know there will be buyers who won't care two hoots what they get in their swatches but I'm afraid we DO!  Take a deep breath before you blast this seller Jackie and let us know what they're going to do about it for you.  You also need to find out if they have the correct card listed too and if they have (and it's condition is good of course) then it should be replaced with the one you received. Please let us know Jackie.(((  ))) |

I have always been wary with auctions where the autographs or swatches of cards really matter and ALWAYS ask the seller if I am bidding the exact card pictured. That way, if they send another card, I can use that as a bargaining tool in any future dispute. I re-read the description and it doesn't say anything about card scanned won't be one receiving!!!
But it also doesn't say card number either!! :'(
I always use the default that an outstanding card is a stock picture and will confirm with the seller before bidding to save any disappointment later. I'm not criticising you at all Jackie - its just that I am so sick of seeing auctions with stock items (especially when they advertise a nice variant of that item) where you don't get what you pay for. How hard is it to put an extra line in the auction informing bidders that the item photo is a stock photo and you may not get the exact card pictured? Hope you get a good result with the seller!  |

Jackie, if you go to your auction link, you'll see that the card you rec'd is still for sale under "More items for sale from this buyer"
Maybe it was an honest mistake and they confused the cards?!?!?!

Well spotted, Jackie it has to be worth an email to ask. Horrific confession coming up - I once sent out the wrong numbered cards to two people - the swatches were the same (it was something like a Quidditch cloak from PoAU) and I made a genuine mistake. I emailed both bidders and actually neither was bothered so they just kept their cards, mistakes do happen so let us know how you get on.

I have to admit, when I saw the auction and saw such a great looking variant, I automatically did the BIN!!! I didn't even read the description!!  I know there has been a few others lately that some Shackers have picked up and so I was really excited to see this and with a decent price!! (I think John's was in the $80's and Jules was $60's). I should know better than to jump!!! Well, this is what has happened!!! I e-mailed him telling him that the card I received was not the one in the auction. (keep in mind that he did not use spell check!!) His reply: i used the provided stock photo from the website for the card, the one i sent should have been extremely close if not better, i do apologize for thatI then told him that it wasn't better, that they were very different. I then sent the link of the auction and a scan of what I received and told him to compare!! I told him I was not satisfied and wanted a full refund!! His reply: WELL I APOLOGIZE FOR THE MIX-UP, I WILL TAKE TYHE CARD BACK AS I WILL NOT HAVE ANY TROUBLE SELLING AGAIN FOR THE SAME PRICE OR POSSIBLY EVEN MORE, I WAS ASKED MANY TIMES AFTER THE LISTING ENDED IF IT DID NOT GET PAID FOR THEY WOULD TAKE THE CARD, IT IS VERY HOT AND DESIRABLE RIGT NOWAnd then immediately followed by: BUT I DO NOT REFUND SHIPPING ON ANY RETURNS I was charged $3.00 for shipping and the postal sticker was for .60 cents! I asked for his mailing address (because the one on the package was smudged) and told him I would watch for the refund. His reply: i will refund within 48 hours of receipt of the card, i will run this by you though, to keep the card anmd me not have to fool with it, would you accept the card for say a 10-15 dollar refund difference??? this way i can avoid fees, either way desnt matter to me though$10 to $15 refund!!! Told him no!! I will return with delivery confirmation!! I also told him that I was soo glad that you had sooo many requests for the card, for the one in the scan was a great variant!!!!! I just hope when it goes back up on auction, you use the correct scan!!!! Because it does make a difference!!!! Jackie, if you go to your auction link, you'll see that the card you rec'd is still for sale under "More items for sale from this buyer"
Maybe it was an honest mistake and they confused the cards?!?!?!
This is what cracks me up!!! He already has the card re-listed using my scan!!!! At least he took my advise!! So let me ask this!! I'm not too upset about no refund of the shipping. This seller mailed this card to me in a snap close card holder (like used for thicker cards) and a SS BT2. Should I keep these? Or is that being selfish? |

Sure, the seller had a lot of interest in the card -- because of the swatch shown in the auction! You should return the card in the holder he sent, as well as the box topper. The snap holder probably isn't PVC-free, so it would be good only for short-term storage of cards, anyway.

Yeah, he had lots of people asking because it was a great looking card!! The one you got, is it just the two stripes, or like the one I have with a small smidgen of a third stripe on the other side? I want to watch his ne auction to see what he gets for it, as I would like to sell mine, but would like to get close to $50 for it....do you think that is possible? Maybe you should just file with eBay that the item received is not as described....

The last one that sold like mine, from a forum member, went for almost $45. Here ist he link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6214255459That would be a good price. I sold one a while back when the prices were lower. I would say she got a really good deal, but i can't let this one go that low this time... |
