Sportsbuy if you could please look into this glitch and see why it would pull card with 0 in quantity over to the auction page when listing multiple auctions at once so it does not remain a concern for sellers and buyers.

There's really a very easy solution to the problem. Don't put ridiculously low start prices on your auctions. In all auction situations, you can start the bidding, I.E., your start price, at the lowest price you would be willing to accept for the item. That way, if someone bids, you will get at least what you can accept. And if no one bids, you haven't lost anything, especially since Sportsbuy doesn't charge a listing fee. I know, some of you will say that the only way to get bidders is to put a very low start price, but if that is how you want to play the game, then be prepared to face the possibility that that one bid could be the only one. And if you want to go that route, you must be prepared to bite the bullet and ship out the card for the 10 cent or whatever bid. You won't be happy, I know, but those are the rules for auctions. You take your best shot. I'm sure you wouldn't be upset if someone way overbid on an item - so don't be upset if one goes for a lot less tahn you think it should. You still have to accept the bid or withdraw your item at least 12 hours before it ends if you're not happy.

Again, never start an auction at less than you can accept, whether that $ 10.00 or 10 cents. ]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6232.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6232.page GMT http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6233.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6233.page GMT No one would list an item worth $40 BV for $0.10 if they thought they'd have to ship the $40 item for a dime. It doesn't really matter if someone "overpays" for your item because they are aware of what they are bidding. In my case I was unaware that the starting bid was also your reseve.
I will have to disagree with your statement about playing the game. In essence what you are saying is that, "if you don't like how all the bidders on this site will only pay 2%, then don't list your items here."
Well, all I really discovered is that if I had put a 20% BV minimum bid on my items, I wouldn't have received any bids because I can now plainly see that no one was willing to bid more than 2%-3%, at least for my items.
Also: with this site taking $0.40-$0.60 minimum per listing, I don't see why anyone would start their item at a dime because it appears that you would only LOSE money if this item sells.
There are alot of good things about this site, that is what drew me to this site in the 1st place but, there are also alot of issues that need to be resolved & of course this community needs to grow to improve the bidding & sale prices for everyone's items.
I listed a complete set of 2009 McDonalds Hocket (BV=$40) with Checklist set (BV=$20). I also listed a set without the checklists. I listed both these items at the starting bid of a dime but, do you really think I intended to ship $100 BV for eighty five cents?
I set my "price" (whatever that means) at $20 for the sets. 2 days before the auctions ended I lowered this "price" to $10 in an effort to help spur more bids. I didn't lower my "price" to forty five cents because I had no intentions on selling any of my cards for forty five cents.

I spoke with someone named Matt on the phone & he told me that he didn't know what the difference between a lowest selling price & a reserve was. He said he'd look into this & call me back at home but, I haven't heard back from him since this latest interaction.
I'd like to know, now that I have vented & gotten that stuff off my chest, what should I do?
Should I contact the 2 buyers that won my auctions? Should I just leave the site all together?
If anyone wants to review my sales & see what I sold feel free. I just want to resolve this issue & also try to figure out how this site works so I don't make the same mistakes again.
Thanks for any help. ]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6403.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6403.page GMT
Then there are the people who I buy cards from well below BV at auction, then don't send the cards, don't respond to emails, but respond to a dispute within 5 minutes. At this point, it takes so long to go through the motions on a reversal that it is barely worth doing on a small purchase.

I used to not worry to much about new sellers, because of the guarantee, but now it happens so much that I will probably never buy from a new seller here, which is sad, because when enough people feel the same way, there won't be any new sellers. Unfortunately, the hobby has always had its shady side, which was why Naxcom was started in the first place, but now with the bad economy, things have obviously gotten shadier (are 1/3 of all listings now for autos w/ no coa?).

However, the majority of sellers on this site are fantastic, and thanks to all of those who deliver as advertised, some of whom I recognize in this thread. Let's see some great buys in the new VIP store promotion and see if this thread can get buried. ]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6404.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6404.page GMT http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6405.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6405.page GMT I understand how reverves & minimum bids work. I just thought that the price was my reserve. I don't see the point in setting a higher minimum bid because I simply won't receive any bids. This is apparent now that I will have ship over $200 BV for $3.
The reserve wouldn't metter either, as far as selling cards goes because if buyers are paying less than 5% of BV the bids will never reach a reasonable reserve anyway.
The only only silver linning I see around this disappointing dark cloud is that when I ship all these beautiful cards, logically I should be able to purchase $400 of beautiful cards with my $3. Unless I am the only idiot who has made thios mistake here.

I've been trying to sell on Ebay for years & I am a member at Sportscardforum.com. So, I understand what its like to receive low ball offers on my cards but, I don't get offended I simply thank them for their offer & reject it. I feel like here at sportsbuy, my 1st experience has left me unable to reject an obvious low ball offer. I don't care if I can't unload my collection but, I'm also only losing money by selling my collection off for dimes.

Does a reserve cost money when you list?
If i stated that the 2009 UD McDonalds set was 55 cards big why are the shipping charges the same as if I were shipping one single card?
Does it cost money to withdraw funds from my sportsbuy ballance?

For one I sell alot of stuff here and there are some great buyers on the site and like Hodo said don't put a starting price that you can't live with if that is all your item will bring . If you want to cancel all of the auctions I won from you go ahead i am getting used to it happening but don't state you didn't know how it worked . If you have sold on any of the auction sites they all work the same . So please if you would like to cancel all the items I won I will give you a mulligan and chalk it up to a mistake Just please do it right away so my money can get back into my account . If you look at most recent transactions you will see that some stuff sells really well here and it is a great site.

No one bothered to outbid you & this only indicates that my card are worth very little here. Even if I had listed the cards properly with reserves I can only assume that they would not have sold. You were the only one who thought they were worth 3% of BV.
Secondly I dod not mean to impune your selling status here. If you are somehow garnering more than 25% of BV you ARE doing very well here & I did not meant to critisize.
Lastly I appreciate you comenting in here & addressing the situation. I think because this site focusses primarly on sportscards that it can attract a specific market & grow as more collectors & dealers become more aware of the site. I appreciate the recant on the cards & if it is all the same to you I'd like to try & compromise by shipping the three BAP AUTOs & one complete set 2009 UD McDonalds Hockey.
If, for whatever reason you'd still prefer to cancel the auctions I would understand.
I don't want to start off here on a bad note & I guess I should have played with the software & learned how to apply reserves to my cards before I listed some of my nicest cards 1st.
I'm quite obviously a low end collector. I collect trade bait & when I pull a big money card I generally sell it quickly & cheaply.
I'd like to continue contributing to this site & hopefully I can promote the site in the next few months to help grow it's popularity.]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6410.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6410.page GMT

You just sent an email to me today about this issue and I responded right away that customer care would investigate and then let you know...and from what I understand, this has now been resolved. So why did you post this kind of message on the message boards the same day?! Plus, you said that you sent an email to customer care last week and never got a response. Yet, I pointed out to you that you were using the wrong email for customer care. As noted on the website, their email is customercare@sportsbuy.com.

As for cancelling auctions, customer care does keep a log of sellers and buyers and once they have a habit of unwanted behavior, the users will be warned and then suspended. If you are a VIP, please contact me and I will personally check on the sellers and take the appropriate disciplinary action. However, it's important to note that every one of you that has posted here have a reversal, cancellation or some other activity that is not condoned on SportsBuy, and yet we try to give users the benefit of the doubt...up to a point of course. So keep that in mind.

For all non-VIP's...if you have a problem, send an email to customer care or call them directly and they will work with you to get things resolved. Bottom line is...you wouldn't get this kind of response or personal service anywhere else.

Regards,

-Bill Elder

a) Recieved 3 of 7 auction wins. Having never heard back from customer care, this caused an urgent "what the heck is going on" situation.

b) Started poking around account. Found no auctions awaiting payment. Only three of seven listed in current purchases. All seven are listed on "auctions won." ZERO are listed under "pay for auctions I won." Check cash account. Find money removed only for 3.

c) Email Bill and customer care simultaneously. I only emailed bill because customer care never responded (they even said they were backed up).

d) post update here

e) hear back from Bill, recieve 7 more EOAs and this time 7 purchase notifications. Check cash account. Yup. They charged me for the three I got in the mail today....

f) let customer care know, at the same time the seller is going what the heck is going on. He also lets them know about the double charge, because he doesn't have duplicate cards to send.

g) cc starts reversal procedure which could take 2 days according to the email.

h) Get call from seller, apologizing profusely, though it wasn't his fault. Thanks for the call, by the way. Always nice to talk shop. The seller is a great guy. Too bad nobody bid against me.

i) recieve email from Bill. He is dissapointed that I uncorked a "nasty" post on here.

I disagree that saying someone needs to get their head on straight is "nasty." I did not intend to offend anyone, though.]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6996.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/6996.page GMT but again i think everyones missing the deal here, if i ran this site i would do some things differnt but as far a just kicking everyone who messes up here off is wrong. we all say give them the boot ,but were not runing this site sportsbuy is so with all the blaming sportsbuy for not doing anything about this prob is just no right, they are doing things about it. i see most folks here blaming sportsbuy for not acking lighting fast, it dont work like that, even the crap sellers have rights and sportsbuy make money off them as well . so i can see why they take this prob slow and not rush things. many factors come in to play here, 1, is the seller new and just ignorant,2, is it a seller whos cancaled before more then one item at a time. 3, did the seller make a mistake not knowing that was wrong. this is what sportbuy must look into first i would think. anyways keep your head up high.

What a load of crap!!!!!!!!!! First time THAT happened after winning an auction. If this type of thing goes on all the time I can see why nobody bids.]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7230.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7230.page GMT
The seller should be suspended if it it happens more then 1 out 100 items .... ]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7241.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7241.page GMT http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7244.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7244.page GMT

on the other hand, I have had two instances in my ebay store where the original bidder did not pay or communicate in a timely fashion and I relisted, only to forget to take down the relisted item when the winner finally paid. Once the first guy paid, and a half hour later, somebody else BIN'd and paid immediately. I was tempted to ship it to the second buyer on GP.

Just a little disappointed b/c I wanted that particular card. Maybe I will check beckett. Even if that is a little distasteful for my blood.]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7246.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7246.page GMT http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7341.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7341.page GMT Is anyone else out there coming into the same situation?These sellers arent getting the price they thought they would get and then voiding the transaction after its closed.This has already happened to me on quite a few occasions and I dont see it getting any better.[/quote]

I've run into that lately on a few purchases, and I agree with your thoughts. I've even had sellers mark the item shipped-one seller even marked it shipped twice. As for the sellers feedback ratings, I've yet to see anyone with negative feedback-they're all 100%- I wonder what it takes to file a visible complaint against those type of sellers to protect us serious buyers?, and at the same time let them learn a lesson! ]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7345.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7345.page GMT
That said, their interface is so cumbersome, it took an hour to fill up a cart with 40 cards. I could have done that on sportsbuy in 15 or 20 minutes, easily, and probably got free shipping to boot ($16 order).

that card--the peyton hillis with the 95 SP design, never became available anywhere else that I could find.]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7348.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7348.page GMT ]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7349.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7349.page GMT
If you experience any problems with sellers or buyers not following through with their auctions, please contact customer care and let them know and they will monitor and note chronic abusers and will discipline them accordingly. However, please also know that there are a lot of new auction sellers coming to SportsBuy that don't understand that SportsBuy is different than other auction sites they may be used to...so we educate them that they should start their auction at the minimum price they would need, but low enough to encourage bidders. But as noted before, if they continue to cancel auctions after selling, then we need to know about it and they will be disciplined accordingly. Lastly, if you are a VIP, contact Bill Elder at b.elder@sportsbuy.com and he will assist you in solving these issues.

Also, yes you do have the ability to leave feedback for sellers and we do have many sellers that are not 100%. All negative feedback goes through SportsBuy customer care who will assess each one and then assign ratings accordingly. In this way, it will ensure that buyers can place negative ratings without fearing retaliation from the seller, while also protecting sellers from buyers that leave unwarranted negative feedback. This will guarantee REAL feedback for buyers and sellers.

I am new here but please know, If you purchase one (or more ) of my cards, I always ship my cards and get a tracking # for proof of delivery.

I also have every singe card that I sell right here ready to ship.

If I sell a card via auction style I know that I am responsible for the starting bid and I realize that the card may only sell at that price.
So if anyone win or buys any of my listed card please know you will receive the exact item in the scan. Yes a scan of every card is provided.

Like my avatar? IT'S FOR SALE!]]> http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7581.page http://forums.sportsbuy.com/posts/preList/5001/7581.page GMT
