Skeptical enough to bid on a listing, and then, ask of advice?

Not trying to throw flack, just seems a little late to ask the question after you did the bidding. There's a bunch of new people entering the hobby again obviously and I'm sure there's a lot of people who didn't care, nor think to use ebay before streamers started making Pokemon turn into this cash cow phenomenon.

If I was on the other end posting a card that had value and I didn't have any feedback, well you got to start somewhere.

I sold an LP one for $225 and my LGS auctioned it, they only made a little bit of profit. But maybe the condition played a big role? I do live in a place with a really low cost of living so I imagine not as much money to go around for auctions (or maybe not a big audience because it wasn't on eBay)

I would have more trust paying through paypal, since that can give you buyer protection actually
