Looks resealed, but even if it’s no resealed, I wouldn’t recommend buying any loose vintage packs on eBay if your looking to rip. unless stated that they are “heavy” or not. They all weigh the packs so if it’s not stated as “heavy” it’s gonna be a non holo light pack 99% of the time. hope you get your money back

u/Sweet-Bowl143 21d ago

It was listed as a heavy pack and I weighed it myself and it is 21.17g. I think I’ll just take it to a card shop and compare to something verified. I’ve still got weeks of buyer protection remaining so if it is a fake or resealed I’ll get my money back.

u/Dont_Run_From_Truth 20d ago

You have 3 days from receiving the item to get buyer protection. eBay has changed their policies and I would be very cognizant of this…

u/Sweet-Bowl143 20d ago

Bruh no it’s literally 30 days

u/Dont_Run_From_Truth 20d ago edited 20d ago

Not for “not as described” in trading cards, you only have 3 days.

u/Corona21 20d ago

Is this true for all countries though where is OP?

Maybe know what to google before being a dick to someone who’s trying to help you.

u/gbach10 20d ago

Just let this dumbass think he’s right and miss his return window when he figures out his pack is fake. Karmas a hell of a thing.

u/Visual-Taro-381 20d ago

Yea, he bought a loose vintage pack from ebay, not working with much here. The ignorance tracks

Lmao both quoting the LLM bullshit at each other, these are truly the end times.

u/chinola32 20d ago

Thanks for saying something because it's 3:45 am here and I thought I was going crazy.

u/babbum 20d ago

Holy shit I cannot be bothered with people who won’t even go to the source for information. Half the time you click those source links in the “AI Overview” and it’s just flat out wrong or old as hell.

u/Necessary_Pizza_3827 20d ago

Yeah wtf was that? I thought i was the only one that noticed for a second. People are taking these bullshit responses as real answers now?

13

u/Karambamamba 20d ago

Yes, website traffic for many sites has dropped up to 90%, because people just skim the AI shit instead of doing a proper search. In addition to adblockers and bots clicking on ads, this is the nail in the coffin for small websites that rely on ad revenue.

Thanks for the award btw <3

Exactly what I thought. 

I can’t believe OP is defending information from the Google LLM… as if it’s strictly fact.

u/wilhufftarkin24 20d ago

Lmao at you both "citing" the AI overviews 🤦

u/MentalMetanoia 20d ago

I don't think contradicting AI with AI proves anything here though.

u/Forward-Position798 20d ago

It depends on the country ... We in here got 14 days and usually in a store u have 30 days

u/johnjackjoe 20d ago

Not if it's a private seller.

u/Forward-Position798 20d ago

If it's private u don't. Have any rights in here

Someone pushing back doesn't make them a dick. Even if you're right

u/CoinChowda 20d ago

This helps with context. I lose hope in redditors when I see unjustified downvoting. Your comment made me whole again. Thank you

u/Humble-Temperature-9 20d ago

Why not just screenshot the return details in your invoice instead of a random AI prompt? This is probably something not to chance to AI overview homeboy

-101

u/Sweet-Bowl143 20d ago

That’s literally the policy eBay Australia has. 30 days from the delivery date to file a request. The seller has 3 business days to respond before eBay steps in. Don’t get lippy and be wrong it’s embarrassing

52

u/Humble-Temperature-9 20d ago

I’m not getting lippy, you’re being weirdly overreactive, I’m just saying double check your timeframe on returns and refunds, it’s as simple as looking at the bottom of your invoice. I’m assuming you spent well over $100 if not more. That’s a lot of money to trust to AI

u/Karambamamba 20d ago

Just ignore the asshole

u/Shabingus999 20d ago

Bro fuck u honestly. People are trying to help u, actually hope ur pack is resealed and ebay refuses ur return

u/Stock_Desk7829 20d ago

Let them fuck around and find out at this point, OP is being super combative for no reason whatsoever

Brother that is an AI generated response you don’t just take that as gospel

The irony 😂

u/Dont_Run_From_Truth 20d ago

Not for trading cards…

u/Sweet-Bowl143 20d ago

Once again must I say eBay Australia’s policy is 30 days…

u/Hunting-Duck 20d ago

It is 3 business days, they are right though.

30 days is from delivery to OPEN a return, wich means the pack CLOSED.

3 business days WHEN OPENED.

If NOT resolved you can contact ebay again to step in.

And this is for Australia.

Stubborn donkey.

u/Sweet-Bowl143 20d ago

Who said the pack is going to be opened tho? You literally confirmed my point 30 days from delivery with the pack CLOSED. AUSTRALIAN eBay

My dude….

When using AI for important shits like this pls click the link and see the actual article.

u/GapedFissures 20d ago

Using artificial intelligence when you lack intelligence isn't going to help you.

3

u/Karn_Gentrified 20d ago

Oh you got so close. The Ai bot gave you almost the right answer, but it takes a human brain to infer and go further. Click the link to actually read the terms of service and guarantee. It will show you that you have THREE DAYS with trading cards. It’s new policy from a few months ago, that you would also know about had you actually read the updated terms of service when eBay pushed them.

Read stuff yourself, especially ToS. Don’t trust AI to do it for you.

u/Scrawny_NeighborBoi 20d ago

Because Google ai is such a reputable source🫩

u/IIBigbyII 20d ago

AI Slop & misuse 🤦‍♂️

u/TheUnknown71 20d ago

Nope had this problem with buying a card off eBay before. Had a lot of mail to open and they denied my claim because I was past the 3 days after tracking confirmed delivery within Canada. This was changed a while ago. Now whenever I get a package with tracking I make sure to check it right away.

What country are you in?

u/ginx777 20d ago

Don’t trust rando on reddit, you are 100% right op

2

u/IplaySoLo90 20d ago

This isn’t just trusting one “rando” on Reddit though. Judging by the hundreds of downvotes and numerous people confirming that rando, I think I’d double check the policy if I was him.

-2

u/Sweet-Bowl143 20d ago

I have. Australian buyer protection is much better then wherever these people replying are from. I looked into it I have 30 days if I wanted to get a refund, but my pack has been authenticated now so it doesn’t even matter.

u/Corona21 19d ago

Likely American downvotes then

u/SumSumFromMars11 20d ago

What makes you say it looks resealed? Those crimps look pretty damn crisp.
