Pokemon TCG collector runs into \u201cshady\u201d eBay interaction The Pokemon CompanyWhile buying Pokemon cards in person can be fun, getting them online can be much quicker and easier. Sites like TCGPlayer and eBay make it easy to access a wide range of cards and TCG accessories, but they can also present challenges and risks for collectors. Shopping for cards online means that you can\u2019t see the cards in person and check for any issues before buying them, putting your trust in the seller completely. This isn\u2019t always an issue, as there are some amazing vendors out there, but it can sometimes turn out to be a nightmare. One Pokemon TCG collector ran into an unfortunate issue while trying to pick up Paldean Fates Pokemon cards on eBay recently. After winning an auction, they were told that the seller wouldn\u2019t be sending out the cards \u2013 seemingly due to them selling for too little money in a 24-hour auction. The seller promised a full refund and a free card in return for the \u201cfrustrating and unfair\u201d experience, but OP was still understandably upset by the experience. Winning an auction and then being told you can\u2019t have your cards is an annoying process that a fair few collectors end up going through. While discussing the issue with other collectors, OP was advised to leave them negative feedback and report them to eBay. The majority of collectors in the subreddit agreed that OP had experienced something irritating, with one person slamming the seller by saying \u201cPlay stupid games win stupid prizes.\u201d Others felt that the seller should be given credit for owning up to their issue, with a reader sharing \u201cIdk, at least he was real about it. Maybe I\u2019m na\u00efve or too forgiving, but, like, at least you get a free card out of it.\u201d Regardless of which side of the fence you sit on here, it\u2019s always upsetting to see a fellow collector disappointed like this. If you\u2019re planning to grab any Pokemon cards on platforms like this, always make sure to double-check the seller\u2019s reviews and ratings so you have the best chance of getting exactly what you\u2019ve paid for. If you\u2019ve got access to a local game store, though, it\u2019s best to head in and buy your cards in person. The selection could be smaller, but buying in person gives you the chance to examine cards up close and check quality.
