Hi, I'm hoping to get some thoughts from fellow comic enthusiasts on an issue re a sale i made on ebay. The sale was for the Batman 50 Aspen Turner Covers A,B,C. Knowing how tough some Aspen books are to get in 9.8 when I received the books the pics i posted to the listing were of the books in the bag/board. I didn't want to risk creating any damage from my handling. I understand i should have posted additional pics. i scoured the books (sealed) to ensure there was no damage. The books were sold for $84.98 + $20 for shipping (we can argue that later). I package books in a gemini mailer sandwiched between two pieces of heavy cardboard; never had an issue previously. This afternoon i get a message to cancel the order as the books were damaged. Do i have any recourse in fighting this return or will ebay and paypal side w the buyer no matter what? Honestly if i received the books in the condition the buyer shows in pics i NEVER would have sold them. and unfortunately we all know that the USPS can do a number on packages from time to time. Not only that he received them today, requested the return today and the last line is a little much i think. I appreciate the feedback.
From buyer:
Hi, I just received this today and I have to say, although it was nicely packaged, these comics are damaged. I'd like to return them. There is bad corner damage on all 3 comics. bottom right corner on batman and poison ivy and bottom left on catwoman. Also, the $20 shipping was way high. I only noticed the shipping price after i won the auction, wasn't very stoked then either...These comics pictured in your listing do not have the damages that I see on the copies I received, or you were very clever in hiding said damage. included are pictures. This could have happened in shipping. Either way, over $100 for comics that i cant get graded...not to happy..did you know these comics had these corner creases/bends? If so it should have been stated in the listing... they can possibly be pressed out, but that would cost me another $40. Let me know your thoughts. I look forward to hearing back from you. I'd like to leave positive feedback but as of right now it's not looking good :
