Axe Elf Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) I was just wasting time in the "Blocked eeBay Users" thread, and came across this: A seller intentionally sent an empty box--and took pictures of him packing it--just so he could claim that he did actually send it. "He carefully took photos of packing it, he planned the whole thing." This was just a few weeks ago; I hope it's not the same seller...

gadzukes Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Came in the mail today. No additional damage luckily. Has the MVS Looks like a 2.0 - 2.5. I think taking the spine roll out and pressing might bring it to a 4.0 Edited April 14, 2022 by gadzukes thehumantorch, ADAMANTIUM and mysterymachine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulinehepburn Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) On 4/13/2022 at 7:04 PM, gadzukes said: I found a low grade DD 131 at a very reasonable price on ebay (seller didn't put the number 131 in the title so I got it pretty cheap). This morning the seller sent me photos proudly showing him "shipping" the comic and then gave me the Delivery confirmation #. Check out these photos. Fingers crossed that it'll get to me with limited damage. Thank God it's low grade already. I've dealt with this a number of times, and it really annoys me. These people need to be sorted out. I even read about failure, used https://phdessay.com/free-essays-on/failure/ for that. In such cases, I simply refused and complained about the sender. This needs to be dealt with and cannot be left alone. I wish you good luck bro Edited July 25, 2022 by paulinehepburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Here's a new one...... Just got this today........ This time it's not the senders fault though, but USPS.... are you having fun running over my comics with your truck? So besides writing "Don Not Bend" and "Fragile", do we now have to write "Please do not run over package with your Truck"?

I don't see any damage from getting run over. It's a victory for cardboard!!! That’s good to see. I believe in using 3/16 inch thick cardboard when I ship raw comics, although I do ship Media Mail in a manilla envelope. I don’t do that for more than 5 raws, and there’s yet to be a problem. I am aware of the potential issues with shipping, so I’m always cautious. But running over a piece of mail???? gadzukes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
