I had a mediocre experience selling cards in comparison to the above posts.
The good: Fast and easy, discount codes! 20% bonus to mtgotraders credits and 8% discount with a code so 28% total.
The bad: Failed to e-mail me before sending payment, No equal trade for MTGO tickets from bot credits.
I received a gift certificate to mtgotraders, and would have liked to trade that for tickets, however the only way to get tickets from a bot is by using bot credits. While bot credits are slightly lower than $1 each, it takes 1.5 bot credits to get 1 ticket, so even though there is a 28% bonus in total, to transfer it too tickets is %50 more, so that would result in a 22% loss in cash value to tickets. I ended up just using the gift certificate to get cards which were reasonably priced, rather than going through the hassle of more e-mails to get things sorted out more to my liking.
I personally don't think that it is good business practice to just send a payment before a final deal has been made by default. I personally think that the default should be to send a final offer to see if the seller accepts that offer before sending a payment, which assumes that the seller is going to accept it. In reality, when doing business, both parties agree to a final price before the deal is made.
Overall I'm glad to have a place to trade paper for online magic, and there really aren't many other options that I have found to do this, other than selling cards on ebay and then using the money from paypal to buy tickets. Selling a bunch of cards on ebay would be a hassle which is why I didn't do it. With Capefear you can just send in a collection all at once to one address.
Some of the cards that were graded lower I would have likely have requested to be sent back to me, but now I fear they are mixed in with others and I would just get a random card that was graded the same. (I could have sold the lower graded ones on ebay for quite a bit more).
Well that is my experience selling cards to Capefear, and if I had to give them a rating I would say 3.5 out of 5.
Since they cared enough to correct the mistake I would give a 4.5 out of 5 rating and would do business in the future if I need to sell cards.
Why would someone feel that it is necessary to write this?
