I have never had such a bad customer service interaction. I purchased a X-Men 101 and a strange tales annual 2, upon receiving my purchase invoice I realized that the X-Men 101 was out of stock. When I received the "shipped notification it had looked like it shipped without the X-Men 101 despite me paying full price for both books. I emailed them and they said that they caught the mistake and would be refunding me, no explanation as to why this had happened or an apology, but nevertheless I was glad it hadn't shipped without the reason i made the order (X-Men 101). But upon receiving the refund I noticed that the amount was for less than the amount I had purchased the books for, this was due to the foreign exchange difference. So I emailed them again, asking to be made whole, as the mistake, whatever it was, was made by them. They did not respond and after 15 more emails they did not respond, I have been a customer for 7 years and I thought they were consummate professionals, but upon further inspection of their website I noticed a pattern of consignment books being "sold" then being reposted for triple the price. I am dumbfounded, has anyone else had this experience? If anyone from MyComicShop cares to reach out I am happy to chat, but this has been absolutely dreadful and I am quite shocked at how poorly everyone from their customer service team has handled this. 

 

Attached are some photos of the same books being reposted. If you want to verify this: Search up the book, add it to your want list, go to "new listings", filter the search engine by "only on my want list and view that they have reposted books (Thor 112, X-Men 101, Strange Tales Annual 2)

Tagging @mycomicshop on this.

As to the same books being sold and reposted for higher prices......you can likely thank the flippers for that. 

Often times people will buy books they think they can get more money for, and then immediately have MCS relist the books for them on consignment at the higher price.

Yes, seems like we will just keep going in circles. I will continue to say that the way MCS reported was misleading, although there is no concrete proof that they were or were not intentionally trying to deceive, and you will keep quoting me saying you don't like how I word things. In the end, a problem was uncovered, and then fixed. Hopefully we can at least agree on the last part. 

An issue was simply uncovered that raised questions on how a time payment should be reported to GPA.  You think it was reported incorrectly.  That doesn't make your opinion right, and not everyone agrees with you on how it should be reported.  As far as going in circles, I don't mind it, because it tends to expose agendas.  As I inferred before, there is also no concrete proof that you aren't a serial killer either.....so to keep saying things like that is beyond ridiculous.  So, you can keep posting in your accusatory tone about MCS....which you obviously feel the need to do over and over as my last post shows......and I will keep posting about how you're being misleading.

I don't think it's a matter of me or anyone else wanting anything other than the problem to be fixed, which is what GPA seemingly did. And I applaud them for that.

The serial killer comparison is slightly odd since there isn't a trail of dead bodies anywhere, as far as I know. Maybe a slightly less sinister comparison might foster better discussion? 

I used that extreme because you seem to keep missing the point people are making.  As a side note regarding your objection.....there are currently more than 200,000 unsolved murders in the U.S.....and the FBI estimates there are 25 to 50 active serial killers in the U.S. at any given time.....so hide your Fruity Pebbles. 

The point is, there are other ways to state what you're saying without having an underlying tone of accusation to it.  

I can see why some people might be upset with the way it was being reported.  So, for example, you could simply state that you don't believe there was any intentional deception going on, but you think the way it's been reported is the wrong way to do it, and I think they should do it this way.

It's the additional "as far as we know" type of qualifiers being added to the "misleading" or "deceptive" parts that several people are taking exception with.  There has been absolutely no indication at all that this particular scenario was intentional or even forseen when MCS first started reporting to GPA.....since they didn't offer time payments at that point.  They explained their current process in detail and it made perfect sense.

It doesn't mean MCS was intentionally trying to be misleading. We don't know that. 

This is the part people have a problem with.  You keep qualifying your statements.

We do know that MCS was not trying to intentionally mislead.  They've come in here and addressed it directly.  They explained exactly what happened and the reasons for it and it made perfect sense.  They've contacted George at GPS and had discussions on the best way to handle the issue.  We do know that as well as anyone could expect to know it.

What are you wanting?  Do we need to hook up everyone involved to a lie detector and threaten them with prison if they fail it?  Or should we just start throwing qualified statements like this out at everyone?  Nobody is saying you're a serial killer either.  Because we don't know that.  Do statements like that sound ok to you?

Take Domo's advice and chill out. 

Chill is boring.  I don't poke people to calm them down.

So....what do you own, Twinkle Toes?

Absolutely nailed it! 

I didn’t realize you could do impressions 

I wasn't trying to do an impression......I was just poking the BearYonder.

Please start pouring on your elitist condescension 

I don't think anybody in here does that.  

We all appreciate you taking a break from your skateboarding to participate.  However, we're trying to have an adult conversation in here, and it involves things that are quite a bit above your pay grade.

So, what do you own, sonnyboy?

This isn't an issue as the book was sold for "X" amount, the seller was payed in full. MCS entered into a contract with the buyer to loan them money to be repayed over 6 months. If the buyer defaults then MCS owns the book at the sold price and will need to resell the book to try and recoup losses.

I have never used payments via MCS so I could be wrong but I would be horrified if MCS is the facilitating agent of a contracted payment system between buyers and sellers.

I have never used payments with MCS either......so we should probably ask them instead of assuming something else. 

@mycomicshop can you clarify what happens if a buyer only makes half of the time payments on a book and then backs out?  Is the seller paid up front when the book is first claimed?

He made a mistake, spoke to MCS, then made a follow-up correcting those mistakes. He could've done better, but at least he did something. 

It's not easy to admit when you're wrong, especially in a public manner/on the internet, and many people who find themselves in similar situations don't do even the bare minimum to set the record straight. I would cut him a break.

Keep in mind.....he's the same guy that appeared in the ridiculous Karl Jobst game conspiracy video.  In it, he made accusations against people/companies in the collectible video game market based on his "feelings" and "supposed" thirdhand knowledge from the comics industry.

Here's that video queued up to his portion below.

I'm not suggesting he's a bad person, and everyone does make mistakes.....but he probably needs to realize he's not Sherlock Holmes.....then he probably just needs to STFU when it comes to accusing others.

I do not think "I'm still doing it" means what you think it means.

I think you misunderstood.....I'm not still doing it to all of them.....just to one.

(I've heard the "one" is now institutionalized with internet access)

I didn't, rec room has internets access now.

Our tax dollars well spent.  At least computers don't have sharp edges.

Excellent, I look forward to it.  And remember, as a long absent boardie once said,  don't let facts get in the way of a good post!

At this point, I don't think an apology would do any good......since it appears I'm still doing it. 

On 11/16/2022 at 7:15 PM, GACollectibles said:

Yeah, I guess it's not as impressive if you posted "I used to go in there and drive like, 5-10% or maybe just one of them bat s**t crazy."

No, it was all of them.  Looks like I might owe you an apology. 

When did you get released?

I do not think "all" means what you think it means.

I was generalizing.

There was one that only went rat s**t crazy.

There's a hidden portrait of Crain that the kid left in his diaper.

I was 21 when I joined the boards. 

Age has nothing to do with it, this place just sucked a lot less pre-2010. 

This......absolutely.

Disagree.

Here's my opinion on NFT's from March 9, 2022.

It's soured quite a bit more on them since then.

But I simply don't have the time to deal with polls anymore.  Right now, I'm focusing all of my attention on being the best friend to ttfitz that this forum has ever had the pleasure of witnessing.  Does anybody think that's easy?  Pretending to like someone with a massive goiter on his neck is far from it.  

That's my head.

I seriously need to stop offering these pro bono services. 

On 10/12/2022 at 6:28 PM, THE_BEYONDER said:

But wait...

Maybe  we need a poll first @Domo Arigato 

Make it so....

After demonstrating my new Fake Forum Friend service on ttfitz, I have become swamped with other members wanting to purchase the full system for only $997 a month.  Many cosplay girls are saying they'd much rather be offered my system in trade than Dylan's silly comic book one......and the testimonials are pouring in.

"My belly button puckers with excitement every time Domo makes a post pretending to be my friend.  I've already used my fake friendship with Domo to proposition three cosplay girls, and have received restraining orders from all of them....which includes their phone numbers in the paperwork........THANKS, DOMO ! ! !"  

--ttfitz

And, since being fake friends with the disgusting individuals that inhabit this forum is simply going to take up all of my time......I would like to formally nominate THE_BEYONDER as the offical forum poll maker.  All those in favor, please remain silent to indicate your approval.

Thank you.
