The Buyer has joined the forums and while waiting for authorization, he requested that I post this:
<< <i>Thanks for the heads up.
I wish I would never have bought that card. Long story short: the card was advertised as "1979 Kellogg's Kelloggs #14 Buddy Bell PSA 8 NM-MT" (item number 150208332478). Here is the link to the listing if you want to look. As you can see he wrote, "This is the variation with no trade line in the bio. "
There are two versions of this card 14A and 14B (one with the trade line one without). PSA mislabled the card and I informed him of this and asked for a refund.
His reply was: "Hey Mike, take a look at the PSA label, I listed it as PSA graded it. You got what you paid for."
My reply: "I bought the card not the label. The card is incorrect. I'm giving you the chance to correct this between us. Please let me know if you would like to correct this."
No reply from him.
My follow-up email: "I take it from your non-response to my last email you have decided to ignore my request for a refund. I will now start a dispute case with ebay concerning this item. I'm sorry you felt the need not to do the right thing and refund this purchase. As I stated in my last email, I bought the card not the label that is incorrect."
PayPal found in my favor after the dispute was researched by them. I left him a negative feedback for ingoring my requests for a refund ($1 plus shipping!) and having to go through dispute resolution. He then leaves me a negative in retaliation ( and I see people cheer him on for this on the blog ). I pay on time and try to resolve the issue between us and I'm the bad guy. I have bought and sold on ebay and had a 100% positive feedback until this. As a seller I have supplied a refund to any buyers request to keep up a good customer service history.
I guess I can't win.

So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
<< <i>Steve: Correct, he went to Paypal first without contacting me. Ridiculous. >>
Based on his side of the story, he contacted you not once but TWICE requesting a refund.
Someone is a liar...

So you are sticking with your story that there was zero communication from the Buyer, only a PayPal dispute that escalated from nowhere?

Some said he did the right thing because they only had one version of this story to go by. I do not think you will see any more cheering based on all the facts that have been presented. An immediate refund was definately in order.
All this over 1.00.... GEEZ... If I had been the buyer I would have just let it go. As a seller I would have just refund and moved on. So what if you lose a couple of dollars was all this headache worth it from both sides?
<< <i>I'm sticking with my story that you're an ass. >>
Uh oh, already resorting to name calling?
Getting a little nervous that your sob story is now going to blow up in your face or something?

This kid wanted to charge Craig (Gumbyfan) real American money for a few 1986 Jim Gantners that you wouldn't pick up if the streets were littered with them (sorry Craig), so there is no doubt that he told this buyer to go pound sand over a $1 item.

It was for Alan, he LIVES for this type of situation, how else could he create a thread where he is not asking some stupid question?

Mike our/my mistake we took this guy at his word. Only Gumby read right thru all his crap. Sorry, never again will I take this guy's word for anything.

Ya, I was one who was on board with Teknobaby... until I heard the whole story. Obviously I have to recant my backing of him. It's too bad because I was thinking that maybe I had been too hard on this dude, maybe he's not a bad guy, etc... and then I hear the whole story here and realize he is just Teknobaby being Teknobaby. Too bad. Oh ya, and all over a dollar? I charge $250 an hour for legal work and I have wasted a half hour on this thread the last few days. Can I bill Tekno $125?
P.S. Maybe time to recreate your identity again Tekno/Alan/Only The 10's. Let's start a new thread for possible names you could use!?
Alan, I think that the answer to your original question is YES. The neg was deserved. You should learn from this and also realize that all the name calling is not making you any friends either. This is suppose to be a fun hobby. I do not think you are in this for the money when you are selling PSA graded cards for $1 so try to keep it fun. When I joined this message board I put my complaints out here and quickly learned to just keep it to myself. Maybe you should try that and life may be easier for you. I am sure you could offer alot to the message boards on a positive note.
gumbyfan, you may have read through all his crap, and so did I for that matter. But I can't help be a little annoyed... because we shouldn't pick on retards.

I would say ZERO. And if you do have any POST them here, I mean you have done that before so it is NO BIG DEAL to you.
If anything Craig hit the nail right on the head and AGAIN EXPOSED you.
Must be a magician Alan how do you get all these PM's when your PM icon is turned off?
I know you just turned it off right?
Must have been all those PM's you got telling you to pound sand.

You and Gio trading PM's doesn't count.
I really am sorry that you did this to yourself again. At some point, you should learn that liars don't make friends.
