Hello all and welcome to my guide on how to buy yugioh cards on E-BAY.

1st} look and read the auction VERY closly, it may say the folowing in these examples.

     A)  if you bid, you will win one of the folowing,

                  Crush card virus or 3 random foils

         DONT fall for this popular scam, i may use stock pics because i dont have a cam, but its no reson to not try and get a real pic.

 B)  if you bid on this auction, you will win 1 of the folowing,

           Dark Armed Dragon  or a Secret rare in my colection, this will be disided by a coin flip ( or dice in some cases )

           this is also a popular scam that people try to do, DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!!

C) Selling a Dark Armed Dragon - 99cents

           UNLESS this seller is trusted, DONT FALL FOR THIS 1 EITHER!

D) Selling Crush Card Virus - $250

          ok, this may look normal but it is the inevitible, THEY RIP YOU OFF AND NEVER SEND THE CARD, also, ALWAYS USE PAYPAL!!!!! A MUST!!! money orders or money can never be returned.....

2) here are somthings to look for -

     FEEDBACK - feedback allows you to see if people are happy with the person or not - for example

                       A)  100% means that everyone is happy with that person and he/she is relible

                       B) heres the rule

                                        100%+ means they are very relible and people like them

                                        99% - 95% meaning that around 1-5 people per 100 people arent happy with them, still pretty relible, slim possiblty you may be in trouble.      

                                        94% - 90% meaning that this person is more on the shady side of things and around 5-10 people out of 100 dont trust or got troubled by him/her and having a small yet probible chance of you getting into some trouble with seller.

                                        89% - 70% meaning that over 10 people and almost 20 people have been either ripped of or have had trouble with seller with multipule problems and so dont like seller meaning that you will have a medium to pretty good chance of having trouble with seller.

                                       69% - 50% meaning that little under half to half the people buying from this person have had dificulty or have been hurt by seller, you MAY be one of these people if you bid on stuff from this peron. so watch out!

                                             49% - meaning that they are not trusted and have done harm to people and are not trusted, DO NO BID FROM THESE PEOPLE!

                                               0% and new to ebay - meaning that you can give them a chance to prove there worthness of this seller, so give them a chance.

              ITEM QUANITY - WATCH OUT FOR HOW MUCH THERE IS OF 1 ITEM THERE SELLING

                                            if there selling too meny of 1 item, its probly a scam and DONT FALL for there scams, search up the item to see how rare and compare to the sellers amount.

             SELLLER RESPONCE -  HOW LONG IS RESPONCE AND IS SELLER GOOD WITH COMMUICATION

                                             Sellers are somtimes slow responder so heres what to look for -

                                            IMEDETE RESPONCE - meaning that seller is on the draw, of corse, there not on nights, and will responde to question swiftly.

                                            HOURLY RESPONCE - meaning that they probly check hourly and awnser in the hour.

                                             DAILY RESPONCE - meaning that they probly check once a day, kinda slow, but they check.

                                            WEEKLY RESPONCE - meaning that they are slow and probly showing signs of troubled sellers and may rip you off.

                                             MONTHLY RESPONCE - probly end of bidding but keep sending questions but arly any responce, shows unrelible seller.

                                              NO RESPONCE - meaning that they will rip you off 99.5% of the time, so BEWARE!

 

                                           ALSO, LOOK FOR THESE KINDA RESPONCES,  examples -->

                                                     Q: can you send me a real pic so i can take a look

                                                      A1:  {NO RESPONCE}

                                                      A2:  NO!

                                                       A3: Shure, it should with you now or momentarly

                                                 you should ask for a real pic and if the pic is blured, ask for a clean 1, if posible, if they dont respond or say no, dont bid!

                                       SELLER PINS BLAME - look if the seller blames onther seller for bad sevice, saying there a scammer when there really not, this shows a seller with no plans of sending card or even lieing about card this shows no responseiblity and makes then look really poor, not trusted basicly.

HOW TO BUY YUGIOH CARDS WITH TRUSTED SELLER -

                                                           COMMUICATION - commuitcations is key between comstomer and seller, so talk to seller and make arrangements if somthing is off or need to wait for a bit. IF YOU NEED A FEW EXTRA DAYS, ASK SELLER SO YOU CAN MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

                                                            TLC WITH ITEM - if this person is good with items, it will refelct in everything, he will ship with TLC and so you recieve item in working order, also, as a kind gesture, leave good feedback if they did a good job, this, thus in return, leave good feedback for you and you will get a better rating.

                                                           SHIPPING COST -  if you see the shipping cost, people will probly either a responsible shipping price or a outragous 1, well, since the cost of fuel goes up, shipping will get very costly but watch out for shipping cost, in the long run, make shure it is right with the size of item.

                                                           COSTOMER SATISFACTION - if they make costimer satisfaction a key priority, this will help the comstomer not worrie so much, can help them make a distion on what they would like to bid on from you, offer discounts and bonuses at certion prices so they can try to get those prizes they offer.

                                                           DISCOUNTS AND INSURANCE - if they offer discounts and/or insurance for item, for shure get the insurance since this is a very good idea, also, see if you can get dicounts on the item(s) so you can enjoy without digging deep in pockets.

                                 this should cover most of what and what not to do on EBAY so i hope you likes this LONG giude, i may be new, but not to EBAY. so, HAPPY BIDDING
