A new low for eBay? Got this message yesterday.

[P_Manning 18]

Sold a 3 card lot of 2008 Bowman Draft Carlos Gonzalez cards.... 2 Bowman and 1 Chrome for $0.99 + $2.00 Shipping... $2.99 dlvd.

This is the message he sent.....

Hi. I just checked in these cards (I was out of town for four days). I know it's only $2.99 but I just can't use these. The two base cards have chipping at the bottom and the chrome card is off-center (and has a few fingerprints). I threw out the package with your address on it never thinking I might need to send them back. Can you give me your mailing address so I can ship them back? Thanks for your time.


I issued a full refund today.... not worth the headache.

I would have made him ship them back. Then he would have gotten around a dollar back after he paid for his tracking.

Stories like this make me sick... I haven't sold anything on eBay in a long time because I just dread sh!t like this. What was the buyer thinking? Did he not press "submit bid" himself?

Nope! His kids did!

Oh wait, that's only on $100+ items...

Wonderful buyer. People are truly stupid and petty.

To avoid this crap, in my auctions:
1. large hi-res scans, front and back
2. no condition mentioned at all, just state "pics show condition"

I've yet to have anyone complain since I can just point to the auction and ask where the problem is. One day though I'm sure I'll have a problem despite my efforts.

 

[P_Manning 18]

Here is the pic from the auction... they are 5 year old Bowman cards.... so he shouldn't expect perfection... especially for a whopping $3 dlvd.

Does a failed $2.99 transaction really warrant an entire thread.

If that's your 'new low' then you're doing OK!

Obviously it warranted a comment from you

Yes.

It got you to reply didn't it?

My sentiments exactly.
In a sports collecting community, it always cracks me up when a relevant topic to our hobby is questioned for validity.

 

[sportscardtheory]

He didn't even care enough to get his cards back, yet this...

I'm not upset by it. People can post what they want to post. Just pointing out that it's a bit strange.

He wants you to not be a nad, I believe.
