So having some Ebay issues and I will try to make this as simple of a read as can be.

I sold a SPX auto jersey card.

Card was paid for (paypal)

Card was Shipped.

Buyer receives card send me message:

"thank you for sending me this piece of garbage. You will be receiving negative feedback"

So I think oh great, well a few days pass an no negative so I send him a message:

"Sorry to hear you are not happy. Is there an issue with the card?"

Then I get this in return:

"The scan or photo you used in your listing does not show the very top of the card-the area of the card that has chipping on it. Request refund"

So I figure well this isnt as bad as I thought maybe I can work with the guy. I'm 100% there was no chipping so if I lose a few bucks getting the card back no big deal.

here's what I send:

"woudl it be possible for you to send a few scans over of the card and the affected area?"

And todays response from him:

Sorry,don't have a scanner-wouldn't send scans if I did. Card was protected inside hard plastic inside a bubble mailer.It's pretty simple-if you dont want to take card back you will receive negative feedback"


So that is where it is at now. not sure what my next step should be. I have a feeling I will receive negative feedback almost no matter what. And I will probably be lucky to get the card back, and if I do get it back I bet there would be more damage to it then just chipping.

So I ask of all of you, what would you do?

Here is a link to the original auction, obviously the scan is 100 % and the top is right up against the scanner so im not sure if any %age of the top would or could have been cropped off but without scans from him unable to compare makes a big difference.

Click to expand...


but only if there is no more damage to it...
but since in your auction you give refunds if the card is returned within 3 days...im hoping you meen he tells you he wants a refund within 3 days of recieveing the card. and if he waited longer tell them tough shyt but if it was within 3 days of recieveing the card..buck up and get the card back and refund them

1. Ask to have card sent back. No Return = No Refund

2. Refund when seller returns card.

3. Give out his ID so we can all block his sorry pathetic *** if the card has been altered or there isn;t substansive chipping. sounds like a Canuckelhead of a buyer so to speak.

I will ask him to send the card back, doubt he will since he wont even send me scans. Wonder if it is worth asking for tracking on the return?
 
So the story ends and all the drama is complete.

Here is the neg I received, just got it today

"More subterfuge than substance to this seller"

oh well what can you do.
 
Another satisfied ebay customer.

Can i get the name of the buyer? I'd like to introduce him to the blocked list.
 
added him to my blocked list. Looking at the feedback he's left for others it's the 3rd time he's done this in his last 25 feedbacks left.
 
Simply put:

Paypal requires me to have the card sent back to me to issue a refund.
Once it is received back - I will gladly refund you.
Please remember that per Paypal rules - you must also send it via a trackable method.

If he negs you - send the correspondance to ebay - they will at times - strike it from your feedbadck.

Burce
 
That is ridiculous. I just had a similar situation happen, only the guy claimed he never received the card and demanded a refund or else he would leave negative feedback. He threatened negative feedback twice while I was still trying to work something out.

You're a good sport for rolling it with it, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from you knowing the situation.
 
Absolutely tell eBay/Paypal you offered him a full refund and then all of a sudden you get the negative out of the blue.....
They may get rid of the negative feedback for you. I also just blocked this guy!!!
 
Wow....quite a character.

I always maintained there are two kinds of people in this world...those who want to get along and those who wants to start some ****e....

I would say this guy firmly belongs in the latter catergory.

I feel much sympathy to your flight.
