A somewhat good eBay story for once...

Recently I won a 1987 French Bray Orioles sheet on eBay and was hoping to get a gradeable Cal Ripken from it. Unfortunately when the package arrived, it was in a flimsy envelope and bent to hell. Of course the sheet inside ends up being bent to hell as well, and the Ripken card has a crease through it. I sent a polite email to the seller asking for a refund. Within 1 hour he had responded and refunded the payment with shipping. He also told me to not worry about shipping the card back. Gave the guy 5 stars and positive feedback for taking care of it so quickly.

    OK, now you're onto something. Go with that. How are we all supposed to feed off of your hatred if you go and post a good eBay story here on the forums?

    Give me a little time and I will figure out how to turn this thread into a train wreck.

    5 stars for what? For shipping something in a way that it got destroyed?

    Getting a refund is the least the guy could have done.


    How's that Bill?

    How about these?

    Post the seller's ID so we can all buy stuff from him and then make up a stories about how it got bent up in the mail so we can get free stuff.

    Maybe the item didn't sell for as much as the seller wanted so he sent you a bent one and then waited for you to contact him so he could give you the best customer service you ever experienced. Three weeks from now you see he has a PSA 10 up for auction.

    how much did you pay in postage? probably a lot more than a "flimsy envelope" cost. no bubble wrap?? right off the bat that is overcharging for shipping.

    throw in that the guy runs a dog fighting ring, tested positive for a female hormone and one time bunted for a hit in last inning of a 7-0 game with two outs to break up an opposing pitchers perfect game when he was in 5th grade and this guy gets a neutral at best.

    one more thing this guy has a framed autographed photo of gary next to his night stand.
