    Professor Chaos So unprofessional

    Well the issue with the address could have been easily addressed. To have a confirmed address  the paypal shipping address and the credit card on file have to have matching addresses for the member. Just changing those addresses so they match can rectify the situation. Merely a clerical issue. I don't get any vibes that J2dac is or was trying to pull a scam over the Professor.

    I don’t think anyone really did anything wrong here.

    Oh, yeah the seller did wrong. Absolutely wrong. Vacillating between two buyers to see who was the safer bet instead of honoring the first "I'll take it" that rules the boards. J2dac claimed the item and should have been the one Professor Chaos should have taken time to work things out with even with the address discrepancy. CGC_navigator's "I'll take it" is totally invalid and shady on the sellers part.

    You know what? Maybe we could have proceeded after I refunded his money and he then updated his paypal info. But it never got to that point because he got all dramatic about it once I refunded the money. And I don't want to do business with someone like that. What some of you are people seem to disregard is that it is my comic. And if I choose not to sell it to someone that my right.

    I have some knowledge on this deal.  Everything the Professor is saying is correct.  He listed the comic for $1850 and sold it to the buyer for $1,700.  The deal fell through when the buyer wanted to use a different address.  The Professor did nothing wrong folks.  He did not personally know the buyer and it's his right to use caution and not go through with the deal.

     

     

    The Boards have rules for both buyers and sellers. Equal protection. Once the buyer commits to a purchase then the Seller must sell to the buyer. The buyer didn't violate any board policies and the Paypal unconfirmed address policy is not a rule that over turns a purchase. The seller chose to do that even before telling the buyer that it was a problem. So without any warning or discussion the seller terminates the agreement and refunds the money. The seller has multiple payment options listed other than Paypal in his ads. I don't see where the Seller gave the buyer the option to pay by a different method if shipping to an unconfirmed address through Paypal was such a big concern. If the buyer was allowed to pay by certified check or money order then where he wanted the item shipped shouldn't have been a concern. Especially if delivery confirmation and signature confirmation is included. It's the seller's book until he agrees to a sale. A seller just can't just back out of a deal on the boards without there being some type of serious infraction committed by the buyer. If the buyer's money was good then the sale should have been completed. If  the seller can't abide by Board rules then he/she should be placed on the probation list so other boardies will know they play by their own rules and should be avoided.

    The problem I have with the seller is that he didn't give the buyer any other options after finding the shipping address discrepancy. That too me is shady. It's like the seller was looking for any excuse that would relieve him of having to complete the sale and unfortunately for the buyer one excuse popped up immediately. If possibly losing money to Paypal because the buyer was attempting fraud was the issue then removing Paypal from the equation would have been an obvious remedy. Certified bank check or postal money order are payment options that could have been utilized to protect the seller. There should have been some type of discussion before canceling the sales agreement. I don't think that suspicion the buyer is "up to something" is strong enough to justify canceling the sale. Now the "up to something" suspicion is transferred back to the seller because of the shifting reasons for not going through with the sale. It was a really nice looking WWBN #32 and I think the buyer was deprived of the opportunity to buy this copy. Not giving the buyer another payment option and selling the slab to another buyer is PL worthy IMO.
