How did you ship it, priority, ground select? They both come with insurance. Tell the buyer the choices at this time are to return the complete package along with any shopping material for a full refund or take the discount in which you are offering. That’s the choices. If they choose to send it back they can request a return label.
My question is do you think this is a buy and switch?
Im confused. The $85 was for one figure or multiple? Your last eBay response makes it sound like it was packaged with other things (“I sold you a set of action figures”).
And was the figure have the autograph, or was an autograph separate in the packages?
I’m just trying to understand what was paid for, and what part of it was damaged.
I wouldn’t call a perforated blister pack minor, might as well open it and display now. Seems like you’re basically asking if the seller wants a refund for that one part, and to keep the rest….
I find negotiation annoying. I’d be like “these are your options, pick one.” And that’d be it. That’s me though.
This is what was sold. An action figure two pack that comes with a signed Kelley Jones art card. The item was not sold as a collectible it was sold was a toy. The product itself is unharmed. I offered to make it right in my opinion and what I got was “how much more can I get out of you.”
Clearly the person plays the weasel game. It started with a low ball offer, and even when you came down they still were going for a few more dollars…Then again when you offered compensation.
My experience has been people that do this are significantly more likely to try to pull a fast one on you, or just flat out force a return from buyers remorse once they get the product in hand.
I don’t do best offers. But in the rare case I entertain an unsolicited offer if the person doesn’t take my initial reduction the conversation is done and block them.
So yeah. This person is totally doing this to you. It’s like the damage opened up the bartering table again and they thrive on that high in nickel and diming.
The China accounts freak me out. Maybe it is just me but I tend to believe that they are either selling knock offs, or buying our legit items to reverse engineer them and create knock offs.
A friend of mine is big into card collecting and he buys cards from a certain seller in China. He says they are legit and trusts this seller but I just can’t do it.
A personal experience of mine: My wife bought one of those resale / return mystery lots. Inside were 3 Marc Jacob’s Tote . I listed all 3 on eBay because I felt like we got lucky and could either break even or maybe make a buck. I sold one for $200 to someone in China. Shortly thereafter the other 2 bags were flagged as knock offs and I had to remove them. This is just my 2 Pennie’s.
It is also worth noting that my 100% legit 1985 Air Jordan 1 didn’t pass eBay authentication BUT did pass authentication by 2 different folks on IG and a third in person in front of my eyes….
Headache I brought on myself. I had an, “Exquisite Corpses,” foil variant I picked up for $25. Listed it before the books got really hot and sold it cheap to the point I maybe made all of $10 as I didn’t know it would suddenly get so hot and trend for a lot more. Meh.
I like the series so far. I have done 2 drawings on the blank ones that I got. I even ordered 5 more from 3rd eye comics since every store here was sold out.
