Greatest reason ever for wanting to return a coin that I sold on eBay

Many years ago, I had a 1793 Wreath Cent (Sheldon-5, better variety) in an old ANACS-cache Fine details holder that read CORRODED, DAMAGED, BENT. Nice trifecta!
Upon receipt, the buyer cracks the coin out of the holder, and tells me he wants to return it.
HIS REASON: The coin was bent more than he thought before he cracked it out!
Being that I turned 45 today, this scenario reminded me of that hit by The Thompson Twins in 1984 - "Doctor, Doctor."
Have a nice and safe Labor Day weekend.

He already was.

Was this an eBay sale?

No bother, I flipped it to a local dealer at $10 above the lowball price he paid for it in the auction.
BTW, I love your logo, that coin is in my son's type set.

Then he would have cracked it out and tried to return it because the hole "went all the way through" the coin......

Yeah -- I mean really, eBay and Paypal practically prostrate themselves before buyers, but here? If the seller has to deliver what was "as described," seems to me a buyer returning an item has to return it in the same "condition" as the item was received -- in this case in the same ANACS holder.
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

Yes, in 2002.

Thanks for the nice words.
<< <i>God, surely paypal wouldnt side with they buyer on this one. >>
Feepay made me take back a coin that had been cracked out and the $ was refunded to the "buyer'. The coin was a modern commem - 1986 Statue of Lib half in a PCGS holder. "Buyer" tried to resell it as silver and forced a return to me when she found out it wasn't silver.
Also had 2 clowns return modern silver commems thru SNAD claims about a month after the price of silver fell. Each claimed the PCGS and NGC coins were counterfeit.
All that has to be done is for them to claim a SNAD and regardless of what the situation, you will be taking it back and providing a refund.
