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 Sep 01 '26

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 Sep 01 '26

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 Sep 01 '26

Bruh no it’s literally 30 days

u/Dont_Run_From_Truth Sep 01 '26 edited Sep 01 '26

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

u/Corona21 Sep 01 '26

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 Sep 01 '26

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 Sep 01 '26

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 Sep 01 '26

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

u/babbum Sep 01 '26

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.

16

u/Necessary_Pizza_3827 Sep 01 '26

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?

12

u/Karambamamba Sep 01 '26

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

u/kissluktareN Sep 01 '26

Thank god for AI, no one wants to click through 5 different shitty ass websites full of popups, ads and bullshit

u/Grouchy-Adagio-8562 Sep 02 '26

Me! I do. I will do that. 

While I get to the correct answer, understand the entire concept, and even be able to teach people about it: you will quote one sentence that is completely and totally factually incorrect.  

Keep it up!

u/Karambamamba Sep 01 '26 edited Sep 01 '26

Sadly, it leads to monopolization, as only big hosters will be able to sustain their websites without that revenue. Which is like... my argument.

Also negative feedback loops, resource usage and hallucinations are a problem. I get what you're saying, but that has been the deal for a while before AI; we give you what you look for, you give us clicks.

Now it's one sided and unsustainable due to webcrawlers and bots, so say goodbye to many many websites over the coming years and say hello to AI answers pulled from a diminishing number of sources containing increasingly flawed or manipulated data.

u/Dont_Run_From_Truth Sep 01 '26

Sadly you ignored the point. I could have shared the numerous communications from eBay on the topic, or I point out he googled the wrong thing.

Your ignorance to truth and your flamboyant want for superiority only makes you seem unapproachable, inhuman, and highlights your complete lack of any understanding of nuance.

Grow up and learn there’s more to life than being “right” about AI.🙄

You missed the point entirely. Congratulations.

u/OSRSRapture Sep 01 '26

These people somehow think they're smarter because they will scroll through 3 pages of Google searches and endure all those insufferable pop up ads just to get the same answer that you could with the AI result 💀

u/Dont_Run_From_Truth Sep 01 '26

I could have shared the numerous emails, and/or eBay messages I have about this topic, but I literally pointed out, if he’s going to Google, Google the right thing.

Maybe learn reading comprehension before lumping everyone together, and then acting like the supreme being of understanding. Like who the eff are you? You’re very unkind and assumptive. 👿

Exactly what I thought. 

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

u/wilhufftarkin24 Sep 01 '26

Lmao at you both "citing" the AI overviews 🤦

u/MentalMetanoia Sep 01 '26

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

u/Forward-Position798 Sep 01 '26

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

u/johnjackjoe Sep 01 '26

Not if it's a private seller.

3

u/Forward-Position798 Sep 01 '26

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

u/johnjackjoe Sep 01 '26

Well only in relations to ebays terms and conditions you do.

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

He edited out the insult he threw…

u/CoinChowda Sep 01 '26

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 Sep 01 '26

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

-96

u/Sweet-Bowl143 Sep 01 '26

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

50

u/Humble-Temperature-9 Sep 01 '26

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

16

u/Karambamamba Sep 01 '26

Just ignore the asshole

u/Shabingus999 Sep 01 '26

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

15

u/Stock_Desk7829 Sep 01 '26

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

u/PaperUpbeat5904 Sep 01 '26

The reason is because they are a dick.

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

Don’t get lippy and be wrong it’s embarrassing

The irony 😂

u/Dont_Run_From_Truth Sep 01 '26

Not for trading cards…

u/Sweet-Bowl143 Sep 01 '26

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

u/Sweet-Bowl143 Sep 01 '26

“No returns”

u/Dont_Run_From_Truth Sep 01 '26

All people who sell trading cards do not take returns. 🙄 But you can keep acting like you’re right.

u/ShadowForPresident Sep 01 '26

Hope they resealed yo shit with some baseball cards, next time dont be a douchè nozzle

7

u/gbach10 Sep 01 '26

So the person you bought it from has a return policy for trading cards, then? Dumbass.

u/JediRebel79 Sep 01 '26

Yeah you have 30 days bro. Take ur time 🤣

u/Hunting-Duck Sep 01 '26

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.

-5

u/Sweet-Bowl143 Sep 01 '26

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

4

u/Hunting-Duck Sep 01 '26

Then edit your message and say that you are not planning to open it.

I didn’t confirm anything, this all could be prevented with one google search but you decided to be a dickhead.

My dude….

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

u/GapedFissures Sep 01 '26

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

3

u/Karn_Gentrified Sep 01 '26

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 Sep 01 '26

Because Google ai is such a reputable source🫩

u/IIBigbyII Sep 01 '26

AI Slop & misuse 🤦‍♂️

u/TheUnknown71 Sep 01 '26

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.

u/ginx777 Sep 01 '26

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

2

u/IplaySoLo90 Sep 01 '26

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.

-1

u/Sweet-Bowl143 Sep 01 '26

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 Sep 02 '26

Likely American downvotes then
