When listing your baseball cards on eBay, include detailed descriptions and high-quality photos. Take photos of both the front and back of each card so buyers can clearly see the condition. List any flaws, damage, or wear visible on the card. This sets the right expectations and prevents disagreement later about the card’s condition.

Make sure to list the card’s year, brand, set and any notable players featured on the card. Provide measurements of the card dimensions. Research recently sold listings of similar cards to appropriately price your item. Overpricing or underpricing could lead to unhappy buyers or unsold listings.

Use eBay’s return policy options carefully. The money-back option exposes you to increased risk of fraudulent returns. Consider an option where the buyer pays return shipping if the item is not as described. You can also opt out of certain high-risk countries to reduce scams.

Clearly state in your listing policies that sales are final for open, damaged or well-worn cards. This prevents buyers demanding a full refund for cards flaw they already knew about. Ensure your handling time states when you will ship by so there are no disputes over late delivery.

When listing multiple cards together, photograph and describe each individually. Do not just provide overall condition statements that may lead to after-sale disputes. List rare and valuable cards separately to avoid claims the top cards were switched out after payment.

Require immediate payment on all auctions and “Buy It Now” listings to reduce non-payers. Only ship to the confirmed address on the buyer’s eBay account after payment clears. Never ship to a different address or until funds are marked as received in your account.

Use tracking on all shipments and save copies of shipping labels with the tracking number. This provides proof of postage in case a buyer claims an item was not received. Consider shipping signature confirmation for valuable cards to prove delivery.

Respond to all messages from buyers politely and promptly. Address any questions or concerns respectfully without accusations. Escalating disputes will only damage your credibility on eBay.

If a dispute does occur despite your best preventative measures, remain calm and cooperative. Work with eBay and the postal service to resolve issues using evidence like photos, messages, and shipping records. Consider partial refunds for valid claims rather than full returns to avoid losses.

Following these tips when photographing, listing, pricing, handling payment and shipping baseball card orders on eBay can go a long way in avoiding disputes and scams. Careful documentation at every step protects sellers while fair policies keep buyers happy. With the right procedures in place, you can successfully make sales on eBay with minimal risk of problems down the road. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!
