The question is, what was the final charge amount.

Only to play devil's advocate here, it's probably likely the grader's note was supposed to be 8.0, not 9.0.

I guess it depends on your refund policy. If you say no refunds, I'd contact Ebay CS and explain your situation and have them look at the messages. If the item is as described, and he just wants to return it because he's now unhappy, I'd see if you can get them to deny the refund. If you accept refunds, you may have no recourse. I just hope you don't have to pay shipping. You should also note the weights of what you sent and the item returned in case he tries to scam you.

It's pretty well known on these forums Fedex is terrible. This other post by Mike may help you.

I wonder if there's a spine roll. I know those ding books pretty heavily.

26 boxes? Wow. You'd need probably a van to transport all those right? Should narrow down in and out vehicles I'd think. Does the storage company offer any sort of insurance compensation?

If you had over 20k in income and 200 sales, then yes.

I'd say about 0%. Even if they cancel it, it's probably been reported to the IRS already. It's on you to list the deductions and cancellations on your taxes.

Allows buyers to stay even more anonymous? Though it does seem shilly.

i just assume my Ebay sale is final value minus 15%. Makes it easier when deciding to sell.

Did you have cancellations or returns? Last year I sold something for 8k, but the buyer cancelled on me. The buyer never even paid, but my 1099 showed it as income. Definitely wasn't happy since I magically had an 8k "return" on my taxes that's probably a huge red flag.

As in the initial sale was $100+12.9% (so $112.90), or the sale was $100 and they're counting it as $100 regardless of the 12.9% ($87.10)? If it's the second one, it's up to you to deduct those fees from your business expenses. They also tack on any returns you accrued.

You can always email them. I had one that spanned the entire right side of the slab and they said it was in the margin of error or some BS like that.

I think it's a thing with the sonic weld not fully welding. I've had a few in the past and was told they won't fix them for free.

Parcel post is going to be a lot more popular here soon. That actually went down in price. What really hurts is the cost of shipping a comic in a Gemini has gone up about 60 cents if shipping coast to coast. Hope they can oust Dejoy here soon.

Makes me wonder if somehow the foil cover is causing abrasion inside the slab somehow.

I'm not the best pre-modern grader but that still sounds off. What page color did they end up with?

Out of curiosity, did they appear to you like a 9.2 and 8.5 before pressing/grading? That's a pretty big drop, what did the grader's notes say?

Does slab bagging occur at packing stage or encapsulation phase?

In the end what you or I think doesn't really matter. The market is decided by the 1st or 2nd Google result that 99% of the collectors/speculators will take as gospel if they plan to invest. I have no really opinion on this, but you're best off making the argument to places like KeyCollector if you feel strongly about #2.

Interesting. So places like MCS don't have to deal with 1099s?

It's fine. Realistically it's less about the carrier and more about how it's shipped. If the box can't support at least a 35lb weight on any side, you need to reinforce it more.

You're not set to vacation mode are you? That can be set to block offers while away.

I wouldn't worry too much yet. It's definitely longer than I'd like to see between tracking updates, but it's not uncommon Registered doesn't get tracking updates. Also keep in mind much of the country has been hammered by storms in the past two weeks. There's likely been a lot of delays here and there not to mention the holiday package traffic is probably only now back to a normal pace.

As a long time EverQuest player, some of those are amazing. Wish I had the scratch to buy those.
