eBay Buying Advice

Advice

Been working on a rainbow for a very long time and a /20 went up on eBay yesterday, the first time I've seen one. But there are a few red flags, and I'd love some advice.

- The seller joined eBay in March 2026 and has 0 feedback so far
- I made an offer on the card and the seller countered at his original price (so he didn't decline my offer... he just countered at full price. Either a passive-aggressive move or the seller doesn't really know eBay)
- They are based in Australia, so expensive shipping/basically impossible to return if something is amiss

It's a $50 card so not exactly the type of thing you create a new account for just to scam someone. And again, I'm like a year into this rainbow and this is the first /20 I've seen, so I hesitate to walk away and miss out on the card.

How big are the red flags relative to the opportunity/risk?
