To those with Paypal disputes opened against you: if it were me, I'd absolutely call Paypal and explain the situation, and have the dispute expunged from your account...if you can. They'll be able to see his shenanigans, but it's hard to say if they'll do anything. It's worth a try: 1-888-221-1161

I agree. Does this pattern of behavior go back more than 30 days? The fact that it is Darrell, Mike and Barton is the most damning evidence. All three super solid marketplace denizens. What a sad deal this is. +1 I refuse to deal with the guy. Is there anyway for everyone to file a complaint with Paypal against him to get the refunds back? Obviously, he is a conman and Paypal needs to get the refunds back. It's clear to me that this is Hall of Shame level activity. Filing multiple Paypal claims for the most spurious of reasons, and then escalating said claims after being told to return the items for a refund? The buyer is clearly and methodically trying to commit fraud. He *probably* won't get any satisfaction from Paypal, but in any and every event, they will require the items be returned, at the buyer's expense, first. Have witnesses, sellers. Whether it's a camera, or people who can swear to it, make sure you don't open the package alone. So ... does Gecko157 go on the HoS? One more thing, which I forgot to mention: Paypal considers any dispute opened against you to be a "ding" against your account, and it goes on your "permanent record", regardless of the validity, or lack thereof, of the claim. It may have no impact. It may have a lot of impact. Only Paypal knows. But their opinion (and eBay's stated opinion) is that nobody opens a dispute without some sort of legitimate reasoning (which goes hand in hand with their ludicrous, naive philosophy that says "we believe people are basically good, and any dispute is just due to miscommunication of some sort." ) It most absolutely DOES affect their "opinion" of you, and colors their perception of you as a client. So when someone opens frivolous disputes against you, there are real, potentially damaging, consequences. And there's really nothing you can do to undo it. Something to consider for anyone who may be on the fence (though it looks like no one is.)

I have no civil civic duty (legal, moral or otherwise) to report anyone for sending me a comic I ordered which happened to not have been released by Diamond, but thanks for the suggestion. I'm an attorney. I'm not the comic police. Spiderman had no civil civic duty to stop that robber either, and look how that turned out. (thumbs u

What does the second print look like? When i open the cover up it has the roman numeral for 2 on it and Mile high has it listed as the second print. (thumbs u

Not a knock on you, obviously, but I can't believe people are considering a solicitation mag a first appearance. I mean, technically, Previews probably has the first appearances of half of new modern characters. Maybe I should go stockpile whatever issue of previews shows the cover image of NYX #3 or, better yet, Walking Dead #1!! Previews #25896712 - the first appearance of Rick Grimes! Great point! However, I bet there are quite a few people out there who would buy the Previews mag that first solicited WD #1.

I had no idea the market for cones was so robust! Coming from the king of the late responses, I bear this shame with honor.

It's too bad we don't have a functioning quotation system for these boards......

That's what I would do. I'd hang onto that box until they asked where it was or Paypal asked you where it was. Then, drop it in the mail and say "There you go!" I'm not a big fan of the business philosophy that consumers should be so grateful that they get a refund on a shoddy/late purchase they jump at the chance to treat the business better than they have been treated throughout the transaction. Perhaps if consumers made it just a big of a pain in the to get things back as retailers make it for them to get in the first place - we'd start seeing some changes being made. I'd keep the books until someone spoke up about it - just like you had to do. Multiple times. And this isn't a beef against Jay Comics (never done business with them) this is a beef against sellers in general who use "I'm busy" as a crutch for being lazy and inattentive.

Not directed at any particular person. Using Paypal Personal for merchandise is against Paypal policy. If you use it for merchandise, you are stealing from Paypal. If you use it knowingly, you are a thief. Sellers: you are taking a very foolish risk accepting personal for payments, as Paypal will eventually shut you down, and when you might need it, you won't have it. Buyers: you are taking an even more foolish risk, because there's nothing you can do if you're not happy with the transaction. This concept that Paypal is "the bad guy" is...well, it's one of the very big reasons why we have so many problems these days. If you don't like Paypal's policies, don't use them. What they earn, what it costs to run...these things are none of your business unless you're a shareholder.

yaay, my first popcorn
