I wouldn't buy this card to be honest. I wouldn't trust a seller like that.

I remember a while back, someone who listed 18 hobby boxes from the first PoA set (and some rare LotR boxes too). Each PoA one game with the PS2 game as well. I bid on some, and then read on this forum that the seller should not be trusted. No feedback, no Paypal payments, etc.... Luckily, I bid low and was outbid on them. I even asked a few others bidding on them what they thought, and they too either retracted or let themselves get outbid. It was a good thing too. Turns out they all ended, people apparently paid, and weeks later the negatives started to show up, and soon, they were no longer a registered user. Ever since then, I don't buy from a seller unless they have good feedback, or some form of buyer protection. I know everyone needs to start somewhere, but when it comes to paying bigger bucks, you have to be careful with who you are buying from.

I e-mailed the seller and asked if I could have a scan of the back of the card...I was hoping to be able to at least prove that he had it.
The seller e-mailed me back and told me he would be putting more scans of the card up tonight along with the option of payment by Paypal.
I don't know? I mean I need this card for the set....if he ends up accepting paypal then I am most definetly going to bid...paypal's protection policy is a really good thing in case he trys to rip me off.
I am going to keep checking the auction to see if he does what he said he would do
What do you guys think? If he puts up more pics and accepts Paypal is it worth it?

Bryan, just for the record, I requested further scans on the 22 January and have still not received them, despite asking twice more. This is not to imply there is anything wrong with this auction, just stating a fact  |

I asked earlier this week too and he told me he was putting more pictures up, including one of him holding the card. I am still waiting for those pictures.

well....u could ask him to prove that he has the card in hand by asking him to take a picture of the card again with a piece of paper highlighting your ebay username or anything to prove he has it. whether he will send it after the auction ended is another question though.........  but all in all, i won't bid coz its very risky. |

Well, I have put in a high bid on this card....it isn't to high, but if I was to win, I would quote his e-mail that says he would accept Paypal, and I would also tell him I will send payment the second I recieve a picture other than the one on the listing, and explain to him how I know it is taken from another seller and that I want proof before I send out such a large amount to him...
I think that is reasonable...right?

I think that's reasonable. If and when you do pay through PayPal, use your credit card to pay for it, just in case PayPal can't recover the full amount if there's a problem, you'll have your credit card company to fall back on to recover any monies PayPal couldn't recover.

Yep, that's right. There's this situation with paypal that if that fellow don't have any money in his current balance, then even if he's in the wrong, u won't be able to get a single cent!!!!  |

Be careful. Some credit cards won't cover you for overseas transactions. |

I didn't know that.  I had to file a claim with my credit card company when PayPal was only able to recover about 60% of the purchase price. My credit card company was able to recover the missing difference, but the seller involved was from Canada and I'm in the US. |

I read that on www.moneysavingexpert.com - so it's always good to check out your terms and conditions... either that or we all just use Anna's credit card from now on  (just kidding  ) |
