| I'd tell him to return it, then I would submit for the reholder. You know, give that little bit extra of customer service. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte @Bronte You're doing the right thing telling him to either send the book back or keep it as is. If he is threatening negative feedback to force you into giving him money, that is basically what extortion is. I would first take it up with Ebay as such. Tell them the buyer is using feedback to try to extort a resolution that you do not offer. Hopefully they will take care of the feedback and maybe even warn the buyer. |

 To answer your question, no, this is not where the comics go to die.

| @Bronte why not just have him keep the book, give him the $45 refund, and file the insurance claim to get your money back? | ||

| Now he can't find return label. I bought the return label and called ebay. They confirmed he got it. Its in hos email box. I don't know what this guy's issue is. Personally if someone gave me back money and paid return shipping, I'd be satisfied with service. If he gives me a negative, ill try and dispute it. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte @Bronte I love it when they put their extortion attempts in writing. That's always a good piece of evidence to have...and maybe to point out that you have. Maybe something like: You have the right to return the book or keep it. You do not have the right to demand a resolution of your own making. By threatening negative feedback if I don't meet your demands you are attempting to extort a resolution from me that I am not offering. Thank you for putting that in writing. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte I know you weren't at fault for the damage but I believe the seller should take care of the claims. I have been fortunate enough to have only been through it a couple times. Each time I just got pics of the damage from the buyers, filed the claim, and refunded the money to the buyer. It's a lot easier than having to go through all of the return hassles. |

southerncross private msg quote post Address this user | |
 lol that was hit on the edge with a hammer. See the curves of the fractured plastic case in a half moon shape. Think it's a case of quicker you give back $45 the quicker it can be sent to CGC for a crack and press and hopefully a grade bump. If you want to get a grade bump then flip time is the essence. Not a wait for insurance claim and do it. And you can't press and grade a book again if you have sent the book back with a refund. Just my thoughts. I could be wrong of course  |

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @MutantMania Honestly it would be cheaper and easier to give him the money. If he didn't have such an adversarial attitude from the offset, I would have offered it to him. I repeatedly asked him for patience while I navigate how to put in a claim. He was adamant about getting his money. He said it was my problem. In my opinion, he could have given me time to see what my options were. But thats not how it went. At that point I agreed with suggestion that I should just return him money. What more can a seller do? You may disagree with me, but in the end I paid shipping both ways and have to deal with the damaged book. And I still will get negative feedback if ebay doesn't agree with me. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte @Bronte You are assuming he will ship it back. I don't think that he will. I'm guessing that when posed with an either/or scenario he will chose to keep it once he realizes that his gambit is not going to work on you. Could be wrong though. |

Donnied private msg quote post Address this user | |
| Every time I think about going back to selling on Ebay I go to this forum to be reminded of the horrible amount of fraud on that site. And the rulings by Ebay that always support the buyer, no matter the logic. I'm pretty sure I don't want to give my comics away free to some smart guy scam artist. @Bronte - that looks like a pre-planned scam to get you to pay to get that comic reholdered, and most likely he will get away with it, or you'll have a damaged slab back, and out some money for return shipping, and negative feedback to top it off! What a bunch of BS! |

I don't sell much but I did send 12 books to MCS (mycomicshop) and it sounds like this type of shifty stuff, if it does happen there, will at least not be my problem. Wish you luck @Bronte -this is just bad, bad, bad. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Donnied That's exactly what it smells like to me also. But I'm thinking that a buyer like this would have a history of doing this. Is his feedback visible? Even if the feedback is positive it might show a history of sellers mentioning some small hurdle that had to be dealt with in the transaction. Or I'm wondering if members of the CGC forum might have some history of dealing with partial refund requests with this seller. I'm not on the CGC forum but it might be worth asking over there if anyone has history with this buyer and see if a pattern emerges. |

poka private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Bronte I would tell him to either keep as is or return for a full refund. Most likely he is going to press and has is looking for a partial refund to get a discount. He is going to keep it.if he leaves negative you have the threat in message. That should be sufficient to get a neg removed. Just a tip. If you submit a book through MCS they will do the reholder submission to CGC for you and you only have to pay $15 (no shipping). Of course you will have to sell the book through MCs afterwards |

Quote:Originally Posted by southerncross The book was double boxed in a priority mail box in addition of the brown box you see in the picture. There was a huge 2 to 3 inch gap from the book to the top of the priority box. I honestly don't see how it's possible to have that kind of damage without it being inflicted after the fact. The book is old enough to never have been pressed. @poka Thank you for the advice. I'm seriously thinking MCS is the way to go for all future sales. @EbaySeller I'm thinking you are prolly right. He will probably keep it. Hence the I don't know how to print a label excuse. It's easier to just keep and reslab if I were him. Although I'm pissed and a part of me doesn't want to give him the book anymore. @steveinthecity He has over 2k feedback. You'd think he would be less of a prick when dealing with a seller. |

GAC private msg quote post Address this user | |
| There is no question that the damage to the box and the damage to the slab do not add up. In order for the slab to be damaged that way it sustained a severe blow and yet the box shows no evidence of an impact that hard? Something is wrong here. | ||
