Please, a little help.

Now, I have cards listed on Sportlots for a number of years. However, just to try it, I put up @2000 cards for auction, 1st time. Somebody won. Here are my questions? 

#1. Not sure why but they were listed as "Graded Cards", too late now. Not sure if I listed them wrong.

#2. S/H was a bit tricky to understand, I  listed as a Large Priority S/H cost. [$18.99].

#3. Now what happens? How does the buyer pay in auctions?

Of course, it is not going to generate much profit if anything, kinda like Pay Forward or my Trader Lots. It will certainly cheer up the buyer during the holiday season, I hope.

I did write him explaining all of the above, in case an issue arises.

Hope this works out without any hitches. ~BOB~

The buyer has like 3-5 days to pay for the order. Then you are going to receive the order basically just like any normal order. Then it basically becomes just like any other order. You are going to 'fill' the order just like you do a normal order.On the invoice for the order instead of having cards like "2014 Topps #1 MIke Trout" you are going to see, "2000 card lot" or whatever you listed the auction as and you will fill the 2000 card lot. You will get the invoice that you do for any other order and the customers address will be on there just like any other order and you will ship the auction to them.

Long story short, it is very similar to filling and shipping a normal order.

I don't know if that helps or not.

As for listing as "Graded Cards".  When you are in "Add Auction Item," at the top it says "Select a Category" and you can choose sport, category (of which graded is the top choice and is the default if you do not change it), and range (which is year range). It is not a problem that you listed your lot as graded as I see many different kinds of lots (baseball, football, graded, non-graded, vintage cards, brand new cards) in the "Baseball Graded 1900-1989" category. Usually if there are not graded cards in that category it is safe to assume that the seller simply forgot to change the labels. If you do another lot like the one you just did for the category I would select: (I'm assuming the cards are baseball) "Baseball" for sport "Lots" for category  and "1990-2000" (or whatever year range your cards roughly are) for range.

Again for this one, long story short seems to be that you forgot to switch the category when adding the auction and it shouldn't be a problem.

Hope that helps.

Pretty much what TF said. I don't think the category will be issue as long as the item description/ picture was not misleading.

Super help. Got it. Buyer also said he didn't even see graded on his end???? Paid, getting ready to ship.

Thanks!
