Hey, has anyone purchased baseball cards on eBay? If so how was it? I've reached the point in my life where I've become nostalgic. :hyper: I want to buy complete sets of the 1976-1980 seasons. I don't mind paying a fair price if I know I'll get cards in great condition.

HWR: I personally have spent hundreds and hundreds of bucks on buying cards on eBay. The thing that you have to watch out for is selelrs who list opening bids low, but have the shipping costs sky high. MOST sellers list cards that are NOT all bent up. Pretty condition cards (some also include plastics too). Would you like to see links of auctions?

At least 95%... Really it should be above 97 in my opinion.

Agreed with everything above - be careful on shipping charges. So many people will try to charge $4 or $5 just to ship one card! Be careful.

Personally, I do a lot of buying AND selling on eBay, but I always try to be honest with pricing.

All depends to me on the feedback if they have like 500,000 feedback at like 95% its a good trust now if they have like 100 feedback and 95% i wouldnt buy from. Alot of people charge alot on shipping cuz them envelopes arent cheap i normally see about 2.50-3.50 per card
