So let us start by saying the sniping issue sucks for sellers, it just does and there isn't a ton you can do about it unless you are dedicating all your time to Magic which is unrealistic for many, so I am not without empathy.

At the same time, if you can't manage multiple platforms or your inventory then perhaps you need to rethink your selling strategy. Again, sucks, but you do need to accept some responsibility here.

As for DB buying/selling as a whole. The main problem as I see it is that the pricing on this website can't compete with a plethora of other options when it comes to buying cards at a good price. Sellers want retail pricing when they aren't a retail shop with all the overhead.

Let's use Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath. It's 49.99 on SCG, it's 59.99 CND on F2F, it's about 40 Mid and 33 Market (usa) on MTGStocks/TCG. I found a Canadian seller on here for 54.99 USA. I can buy them on FB Sick Deals pages for  45 CND.

With all of these options DB is priced out and rarely a viable option for me. If I want to pay for security I just pay retail to SCG or F2F and it's still cheaper. If I want the lowest price I just do my due diligence and check refs on FB and buy there.

Now, it's not to say you can't find deals on DB, or sellers who are willing to work with you in terms of pricing, but you have to put the time in, cultivate the relationship, usually point them in the direction of "cheaper alternatives" in order to get there. When it works it's great.

I would love to use DB as a platform for more than just "trading" but honestly, there are better options out there. I recognize a lot of users from MTG Finance subreddit, so it's not like what I am talking out is foreign to anyone who buys/sells regularly and/or frequents that subreddit.

You pay retail for the added security (or sometimes to acquire HOT cards you need NOW), otherwise you are over paying. Simply put, if sales are slow, your cards are overpriced (on any platform).

I wish we could all just get retail for all our cards but that is a myth.  Sorry if this type of logic upsets the general audience, it's not my intention, rather a sad fact.

*EDIT* To answer the actual question. I don't like turning the buy option into the same thing as trading. All it does is push buyers away. How can one trust a system that you can't purchase from "immediately, and/or may or may not follow through on the transaction" after the fact?  Sounds awful to me

Is anyone else having this issue?

When I look through my inventory at Core21 cards, the set symbol is not the same size as other sets, appearing  squished and difficult to read. thankfully when I hover over the cards it displays the correct image for each card.

When I look at my decks, the set symbol is squished but when I hover over a card like hooded blightfang for example the image displayed is simply the back of the card. It does this for all Core21 cards, which is obnoxious.

Anyone else experiencing this issue and/or can someone look into this. All other sets as far as I can tell are not affected.

Thank in advance

This! Thanks Sebi

Thanks Sebi, glad to see it up and running

Bump,  still looking for two copies

Thanks for explaining about how the multi line system works and the free trial sounds promising and I am looking forward to trying it out

I also agree this would be a great feature.

Cubetutor does this for those of us with cubes.  Very handy feature

bump, still looking for pieces

I will start up a trade and see if we can come to some sort of agreement

Sure.

you can send them to dieselonly@gmail.com

cheers

In this case, it's blatantly obvious. I agree that retaliation or just simply abuse to screw with the system is a possibility, but I would rather be shut down right away and reinstated to protect the collective, then to have these returning rippers who are clearly "testing" the response time of the new system.

Scammers show no mercy and are always looking for a backdoor to get in. I suspect we will see these scammer accounts evolve as crooks are sometimes quite talented (shame they can't put this energy to good use).

I am just glad other people saw this too, I happened to stumble upon it by accident.

Going forward, I plan to check all new users I come across and double check their refs. I have no issues mashing that report button all day every day to make the site safer.

EDIT: Can we get a feature that excludes suspended users cards from appearing on the "cards for trade" stream?  Seems like easy coding to me..
