Yet Another fleaBay Moron to avoid
« on: December 11, 2011, 03:45:32 PM »
so I buy an Ocean's 11 lobby card from a guy on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320802002865

his shipping says $8.00 and clearly indicates it will be shipped Priority Mail

Package arrives, with the flimsiest of cardboard but amazingly the card got here undamaged

however, this moron did not send by Priority mail, he mailed it 1st Class for $1.68.

so I send him a message:
Buzz
two things
#1 fortunately the card did not get folded in shipping, but if you don't use some sturdy cardboard, you're courting danger
#2 you charged me $8 for Priority Mail shipping and yet you sent it first class for $1.68
I'm expecting a partial refund of my shipping.. $5 will be fine

his response:
Hello:

The shipping is for postage and handling and it was sent expedited. I do not refund postage. thank you.
Buzz

$6.32 for handling.  He must have fondled it well...

I had a similar situation yesterday.  I bought that Tall Dark Stranger poster. It was suppose to be new; it arrived with pin holes and general use signs.  But the guy had reused a tube and it had $5.50 as the cost of packaging and he charged $9.99.  So I sent him a "WTF" e-mail and asked for $10 partial refund...  But, he refunded the entire amount ($29) and told me to keep the poster...  Win? Why do I feel guilty?
