    Are action figures becoming a thing of the past?

    CRAZY New Viral AI eBay Scam That Puts Toy & Card Sellers at Risk | Ep 233

    Have you seen this viral eBay scam? We dive deep into the latest and scariest threat facing online sellers: the rise of AI-generated scam photos. Buyers are using artificial intelligence to create convincing images of "damaged" items to demand refunds, even keeping the original, undamaged product—sometimes even sending back a random item like a VHS tape or a box of pasta!We discuss the viral sports card scam example, the frustrations of dealing with unhelpful customer service, and why the current system unfairly sides with new buyer accounts over established sellers. Plus, we compare eBay's high transaction fees (which can exceed 18% when all costs are factored in) with the lower-fee, higher-trust model of alternative marketplaces like BrickLink.What are your experiences? Have you been scammed as a seller or buyer?
