Question about getting my money back...

I was wondering if anyone has had any success in getting money back from a seller who sent items that were not accurate in the description. I am currently dealing with a seller who sent me 21 Silver Age Thors that were BADLY trimmed. He claims that he did not know and refuses to allow me to return the books.

 

This is his e-mail to me:

"I do not believe the books were trimmed then and I do not believe they are

now. I clearly remember there being rough edges on them. At any rate and not

to sound harsh, but the description clearly says,"These books range in

condition from Good to very fine range, mostly in the fine range. I am not a

pro grader so this is only in my opinion" And I stand by that in my

opinion that is their condition. I talked to my friend who I got them from

and he agrees that he would have noticed that they were trimmed too. Also if

they were trimmed I would have surely graded them higher the reason , I

graded them as ggo-fine was because of the edge wear. Again not trying to be

an [!@#%^&^] but I just cannot see refunding money based on someone I don't know

claim that they are trimmed, when my friends and mine recollection is quite

different."

 

I asked for a scan that he told me that he had so that I could prove to him that it was trimmed and he did not give it to me. I told him that I would return the books first, but he refuses to listen to even consider it. I paid with a Visa credit card via PayPal. I know that I should not bother even going through PayPal, so I should probably go straight through Visa. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Post the seller ID so we can stay away from this knuckle head.

The seller is duderock4life.

 

The transaction number is 2231998848

 

I will have scans up in several minutes. I know that they are trimmed for two main reasons.

 

1) The corners on the right hand side of the books are razor sharp when compared to the rest of the book.

 

2) The books are smaller than the ones that I already have of the same issue! foreheadslap.gif Needless to say, I was kinda shocked when the books fit into modern age bags. 893frustrated.gif

I'm not doubting you Chuck,..cause I couldn't tell a trimmed book if the cover sliced open my finger,...but why would anyone trim a book that has so many other flaws working against it,...I mean even with a sharp right side the book is still a good......

I understand your need for doubt, but if you want irrefutable evidence...here is a scan of the Thor 126...on top of another silver age Thor.

 

See how small they trimmed it? Obviously not professionals. Like I said, these Thors fit into MODERN bags.

Did the seller state his return policy? How much were the comics? Paypal is of no use and the couple of times I had a disagreement, I went straight to Visa.

 

Unfortunately, there is no stated return policy. I am assuming eBay will not do anything. I think it is safe to say that PayPal will only laugh in my face. How much luck did you have with Visa? I have never done this before and would like to know what my chances are. Thanks, I appreciate all advice and light banter at my foolishness for bidding on small scans and high heeled boots.
