Yeah, but you can tell by the lack of care he put into packing that he didn't think it was his responsibility to get it there safely. So his response is kind of what I would have expected.

And this is the problem. People selling who have no knowledge of customer service before, during, or after a sale. Buy my crap, give me your money, take what I send you and be happy.

There is a wide spectrum of sellers on eBay, and Buyers, too. "Life is like a box of chocolates...." Also fits for eBay transactions. Thank you, Mr. Gump.

The seller will learn the hard way.

Exactly. While the seller has no control over what the carrier does, they are the ONLY ones responsible for packing it in a way this shouldn't happen.

The forum has been very helpful and informative already! I’ve learned a lot. Only been collecting graded comics since March, and just got back into the raw more for reading some classics. 6 issues in on the Kree/Skrulls war from 1971.

I really like the Gemini comic mailer's. Here is what I normally do. Books are bagged and boarded of course, sandwiched between cardboard, bubble wrapped, and shipped in the Gemini holder. I have not had 1 complaint yet. I feel it does not take a big effort to package it correctly and it gives me piece of mind as a seller on Ebay. Sellers need to get educated.

@BrianGreensnips

Education I dont think is the issue. When folks are cheaping out with free USPS packing tools and using media mail they want to maximize profit.

My question is how do they ship their own comics to grading companies? Same half ass way or other? Personally I ship my raw books to CBCS in those Gemini cardboard mailers, then put in a secondary box. I want my stuff to make it unscathed even if it drops from 2nd story building.
