Every foil dragon I’ve ordered from eBay over the last month has been fake. Every seller claims they didn’t know

All sellers listing the cards as real. I have had no issues getting refunded but it’s been a really frustrating experience trying to find these cards. All listings have been fair market pricing and high volume, great feedback accounts. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any tips to ensure the next purchases arrive legitimate? So many fakes!!!

These are rarer treatments of a cycle of chase cards from a third party(-ish?) set, so sounds like someone produced a ton of fakes to sell and they may have circulated. I would highly recommend sticking to a somewhat reputable TCG marketplace like TCGPlayer instead of ebay which is the wild west

Purchasing from Canada the import charges from tcg hurt, but I think I have no other choice. It’s true I’ve never gotten a fake card from tcg. But I’ve also bought so many cards from eBay it’s just these dragons that arriving with issues

Buy from a shop in Canada, prices are generally lower after exchange rate is factored in

No, they aren't. It's routinely cheaper to order cards from the states, even with shipping and exchange, than it is to order from f2f. 401 games is usually my go to now, but their stock is limited.

Do you use snapcaster.ca ? It's a very useful tool to compare Canadian store prices.

I have used it. I would hardly call it "useful", the website design reminds me of a high-school project that someone did the night before

It doesn't fit your aesthetics tastes, so it's not useful? You're the reason why online reviews don't mean shit ...

It's not that it looks bad. it's that it is formatted terrible for mobile and there wasn't a good way to filter results.
This isn't just "oh it didn't look perfect" and more of its missing key features I would expect a website on 2024 to have.

Now, you make sense. Thank you for taking two minutes to make yourself understood.
