Was the broken piece in the envelope?

Yes. In fact, the broken pieces were still in the CGC "slab bag" itself (and some of them are still inside the slab, as referenced above.) This damage happened while the slab and its bag were still inside the padded envelope.

This proves the item was damaged during shipment. If you have a picture of this then that wins your case with eBay

There's two sides to every story 

It'd be nice if the seller posted his side here.

Two sides goes without saying, but it looks like the seller, by ceasing to dialogue on the subject, would be equally as evasive here. If he did come here, it would be likely that most would want him to out his eBay handle and it would be an instant block by many.

In the listing title? You would be leaving out a lot of better key words that people search for.

Thats my thought too. But if you do a search..... well here. Look.

What I'm saying is you are only allowed so many characters in your title. I usually try to fill that completely without even getting to bag & board. I put that in the product description.

You're better off finding what you want and looking at the sellers feedback.

"Personal", in the manner I'm using it, doesn't mean "of or pertaining to a specific person." In the sense that I'm using it, it means "of or pertaining to a single (as in "one", not as in "unmarried") person, rather than a group of people." There's a difference in meaning there.

And the question was rhetorical. You don't want me deciding what's best for you, anymore than I want you doing it for me. It leads to abuse. In the same way, I don't want USPS to stick their noses into policing UPS boxes, because it leads to abuse. And there's a difference between telling someone what you think they should do, and actually making them do it.

Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.
And USPS ought to play nice with their future boss.

Yes, it's "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (if we're going to use archaic language.)

It's not "...and make sure everyone else is doing unto others what you would have them do, too."

You're right. Not in our current society. It's more about how I can take advantage of something to make a buck.

That's been true far longer than our current society. Besides, I don't want the USPS policing things that aren't their job to police. I'd rather let the police do the policing. Letting the police do their job isn't giving approval for bad behavior.

So you ship comics Media Mail? Don't want them "policing" and all.

You're conflating that which is within their purview...shipping methods of the USPS...and that which is not...the use of shipping materials of other companies.

Not a valid comparison.

There are always two sides, of course. But that's the point of reporting every word the other party says: you're giving their side, too. It's disingenuous, dishonest, and provocative to imply that someone, in that situation, is only giving one side, and that the other side needs to be "heard." 

They were. Every word of it. There's nothing more (for now) to hear.

Precisely, you were simply more elegant in expelling it.

This sounds interesting. Can you elaborate, please?

I had recently graded books shipped via fedex under my account next day. When I arrived at my ups store (I have deliveries sent there) the normal CGC rectangle box (for 3 slabs) was a small brown fedex square box. The original label used by CGC had been taped on the new box. I knew that the box had been repackaged by someone and told the owner of the store to witness me opening the box (I feared it had been stolen and not broken)

the books were cracked badly all 3 of them etc 

the worst part is that while I did file a claim with fedex and they said they sent a $100 check to cover the damages I never received the check, called them multiple times to reissue the check and never got paid for it. They now claim that they cannot find the original claim and that money is lost

You’re probably right, but I like to judge these kinds of things on an individual basis. If I don’t trust one party doing all the talking, why would I assume everything they say is the truth without hearing from the other party?

I bought this book, seller seemed nice. Book was missing the centerfold and I believe the back cover is trimmed. Seller knows about both. 

So just a heads up since he did not mention it in his listing. I saw the listing when I was going to look for a feedback link after I got my refund.

I didn't leave him any, because I'm hoping he will change the listing. If he doesn't, I'll mention the missing pages in the feedback.

But MEANWHILE, I didn't want anyone here to get stuck.

 He answered, apologized and said he will update the listing. 

 

So nice, honest eBay people do exist outside the forum:)  It's the first Woman in Red, first masked female super hero, so if anyone wants an inexpensive copy, the pages are nice. It's missing the first page of the story.

You are the very essence, definition, and embodiment of the concept of "bad faith." There is no discussing with you, because your goal is vengeance, not understanding.

Please stop trying to pick fights and MOVE. ALONG.
