Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Just curious. I see there are sellers on ebay posting and selling some of the same cards that I have. Their's are selling and mine aren't. Am I doing something wrong. I don't belive my prices are out of line. But, if so, I would welcome advice as to some pricing guidelines. When I price a card I consider the ebay fees and shipping costs. I'm not out to make a killing on cards but just to move the over 500,000 cards I have. I also don't have a lot of current sports cards. Mine are mostly from the 90's and early 2000's. I don't and won't sell damaged cards either on ebay, here or in person. I don't believe in selling or receiving damaged cards. Some suggestions please. My ebay name is RVCC and I have an ebay store called Rogue Sports Cards. Check out my items and let me know.

Maybe put a link to your page here to make it easier to find you on eBay 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/284382111976 is just one of the items

Looks good to me. Shipping is a very nice price, pictures are clear... don't know if others are selling '87 Traded like you but I see nothing wrong with your post. You may want to mention how the 59 cent shipping is going to work (I imagine by envelope) in case people think it's coming in a bubble mailer even without tracking. 

The only thing I can see is the cropped photos/scans like on this web site.  Most people want to see a actual card and corners so a photo or scan with a 1/4" of space around the card.  You always promote having a std of quality for this site, but eBay buyers don't know you like the members here might.  I rarely by if the the entire card pic is not visible.
 

Otherwise it's looks great. Hope it helps.

You have some good cards available, but some of those sets like the 87 Topps update and 90 Score football will be hard to sell at your prices. I'd suggest selling those as a starter set instead of singly. 

Two things stand out to me. That would make me pass your post.

1. Your icon is blank. That leads to people passing you for someone else. Take a photo of your card room or a shelf showing cards. Something like that. Your name means nothing, people need a face (a photo, an image of something) If I tell you to think of McDonald's what do you see? If I say Nike what do you see? Now you get why the black icon hurts you.

2. is a big one! Your one negative feedback states you are not posting photos of the cards you are selling and are using stock photos. These two things scream con man. These two things would make me pass your post for someone else and I probably have.  No one wants to buy a 2ed hand card without seeing it.  I also do not buy a card if there is not a photo of both sides. 

Do not go over the top with a photo and try and make it look like a professional photo (like you have now.) If you go too far it looks like a stock photo. Put it on a stand or lay it on a table make sure you leave some of the backgrounds in the photo. That little touch will key people into knowing, that is the card they will receive. That makes the sale. 3 photos are the best. front, back, and a close-up. But the close-up is not a make-or-break thing when the zoom is on.

No one that buys 2ed hand cards will buy from someone using stock photos and that one native feedback with the photos you have is a killer. Making these two changes will show people, you are just a regular guy selling cards and that is something everyone can trust. Right now you're not showing that at all. You have zero of the personal touch. 

Remember selling things is 80% psychological & 20% of people wanting it. Right now you are only working that 20% and people are one click away from others working that miss 80% you don't have.

This was too easy. I did an image search of the first card you have posted and found it on two other pages. It took me less than two minutes.  It is the same image because the mark next to the name on the right side of the name is the same. Not good at all bro. I would pass on buying that card from you. because that is not the image of the card you are selling. 

Just thought I'd see and let you know how easy it is.

Just to let everyone know "I don't use STOCK photos. Every photo of the cards I sell are genuinely mine. I scan each and every card I list for sell. I don't like stock photos either because I know that's an issue mentioned here. And the one negative I have received was unjustified because the person wasn't happy with the condition of the package when the item he/she received. I can't control how the package is treated through the mail system. When I send my cards out I make sure that it/they are well protected. What happens between mail locations is something that I can't control. I really appreicate all the feedback for you folks and I will learn from your advice.Oh, and didn't think that showing both sides would be such an issue. In the future I will that I scan both the front and back and hope that those who are interested would know that this is the card I have.

Would suggest taking pictures of the actual card including all corners and putting a label in view of the picture with your ebay username and a recent date proving the card is authentic. You see that type of thing all the time in facebook buy/sell/trade groups for cards. Best of luck!
