Is it safe to buy a Pokemon card break on Reddit?
It depends entirely on the seller. Sellers with high trade flair (100+) and confirmed history on r/pkmntcgtrades are generally trustworthy. New accounts with zero flair are high risk. Always pay with PayPal Goods & Services (not Friends & Family) so you have chargeback protection. Avoid Venmo, Zelle, and Cash App.
How do I check a Reddit break seller's reputation?
Check their u/ profile for verified flair on r/pkmntcgtrades. Look at their post history for prior break posts and feedback. Google their Reddit username to see if they appear in any scam reports. Ask for references from past break buyers before committing.
