So why not just scrape the TCGPlayer prices without using their API? Then go to the EFF if the legal threats continue and try to set a precedent corroborating Padmapper vs. Ebay. Or go down fighting, at least. It's shitty that sites think they can get away with stuff like this.

Okay, I know that's not a reasonable thing to ask but the price information *needs* to be fixed soon. I'll be curious to see what's in the works.

I hate to be "that guy", but why not allow for BTC payments as an alternative to Paypal?

In general, I worry about the changes here not giving users the sort of wiggle-room in terms of communication and negotiation that Deckbox trading normally allows. Namely, I'd like to sell cards but I worry that it could create problems if my inventory is out of date or there's a pricing error or some other sort of hangup that is resolvable through the normal trade process. It'd be nice if I had the option of having to approve orders or something, just as a precaution. If these kinds of features aren't implemented I think there's going to be an extremely rocky period where buyers will be placing unreasonable service expectations on sellers because they figure that once they place the order everything should work perfectly. I think sellers need some sorts of options to review orders before having to fulfill them.

There's no reason why there couldn't be a rule stating that if a card only has a valid foil price, then inventory without the foil toggle will just use the foil price.

I noticed that the price on the foil Jace AoT and Vraska promos from the new duel decks is zero. The TCGPlayer pages for these cards works fine (eg. http://store.tcgplayer.com/magic/duel-d … -thought), so what gives?

You have your JvV Jace marked as promo not foil. Fix that and his price will display correctly.

Okay, you're right, thanks.

Although I did have it as promo only because the non-foil/non-promo price also shows up at 0. I had not tried choosing the foil toggle.

Which honestly I don't think should be necessary anyways, given that there's no non-foil version of the card. But I won't complain since I can get it to work.
