As Stormflora said - if you have the books in your possession and they are your books just ignore any and all  threats of legal action. Dangerous Waters is in Florida. You said you live in Canada.  He's bluffing  - the legal costs would be many multiples of the value of the books. It's hard to get court judgments when two different jurisdictions are involved and both are in the same state. Two countries? LOL. Die of old age before anything happens.  Besides that - if the books were submitted under the owner or stores account THEY FILLED OUT THE RETURN ADDRESS.  You don't need to worry about actions by CGC. CGC sent the books where they were told after they were paid. They have done their part. 

As an aside - Dangerous Waters does not have a Dealer Account with CGC.  At least not according to the CGC Dealer look up.  Nor do they list on their website that you can send books to CGC through them. With shipping $250 is in the general ball park - a little high - for five moderns.  Retail would be $25 a book ($125) a five dollar invoice fee and $80 return shipping.  That's $210 - plus whatever he charged to ship the books to CGC.  So you certainly were not saving any money going through the store's account. 

I feel like a weights been lifted off my chest.... thank you

 it cost 250 to grade 5 books the oldest being from 83. he said it would be cheaper if we used his business account and I could send him the money later. after payment to his wife's paypal (he said he doesn't have his own because he doesn't agree with their terms of service) he said that he never got it. when I showed him, I got that "doesn't cover the cost of everything and include interest." I know he's just trying to scam me but is there any way CGC can take my books from me? or mark on the census that the serial numbers I have are claimed as stolen? I was told if I didn't pay up I would have to appear in court and he would call CGC and tell them the books where stolen when In fact that is a lie. Iv never graded a book before so I don't know how screwed I am. 

because I live in Canada I could only send him money for the comic books through PayPal. only his wife had a PayPal account I have the proof I sent it to her. he said he never got the payment. I showed him the proof I have of me sending the money. he explained that only covers shipping and that I still owe the full amount. this is months if not a full year after receiving the books. 

I'm just sharing so no one else gets themselves in this situation submit your own books

I got my books graded through CGC a comic book store owner helped me with the paper work. now he is claiming that they are his books as they are on his account and If I don't give him the books he'll sue me and claim I am in possession of stolen property. since his website hasn't been updated and everything is out of stock. has anyone been in a similar situation or know what to do next? the store is https://www.dangerouswaterscomics.com/all-comics
