Protect yourself against ebay scams

Post  Emz on Thu Oct 01, 2009 3:50 pm

Please read descriptions carefully, and do not bid on ANYTHING that shows lots of rare cards at low prices without checking the description first.

Secondly, ONLY buy sealed boxes as people can open boxes, weigh for the lv X card (which is slightly heavier) and sell on the rest.

Thirdly, beware of fakes. The most common fakes don't have "ridged" seals on the packs, the back is often faded, the coating on the cards is like plastic, the font is different/enlarged/skewed, foils are not foils, and the ones that are foils are dull and not sparkly. If in doubt, private message me or contact a league leader. You can also check official pokemon tcg site for recent releases of cards. Pokebeach Is very helpful too.

If in doubt, remember this golden rule: If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
