Fake Sellers with Fake COA's!!
Summary: kylececich shared a frustrating experience about purchasing a 1985 Michael Jordan signed card with a COA on eBay for over $700, only to find out through PSA that it was fake. Due to a 30-day policy, eBay refused a refund, as the seller deactivated their account and vanished. jacbarcollectibles advised that while eBay's refund deadlines are strict, customers can seek a chargeback from their payment source, which may offer coverage up to 180 days from the purchase date. This discussion underlines the importance of cautious purchasing and understanding refund policies.
Just want to put this out there: I bought a 1985 Michael Jordan signed card with COA for +$700. Of course, it took me over 30 days to run it through PSA to tell me it is fake and E-bay wouldn't give me a refund. They let a fake seller with an illegiate item sell on their platform and say "well, it is over 30 days so you are stuck with it." Therefore, BE CAREFUL when buying from an E-Bay seller, even if the items comes from a COA. The seller then deactivated account, so he made off like a bandit.
E-bay made money.
The fraudelent seller made money.
The buyer (me) got screwed.
Don't let this happen to you. You may wind up wasting your money on fake product and then wasting your time speaking to the most unhelpful group of support members to exist like I had to.
Thanks E-Bay!!

Mentor2 months agoeBay's money back guaranty has very strict deadlines. If you are past the deadline then you should be able to go to your payment source and ask for a charge back. Most payment sources will cover you for up to 180 days from payment but some are less.
