Ebay Issue After ONE Year

freakhappy · #1 02-04-2014, 11:07 PM

I've heard stories where people pulled a card from a pack, sent it in, and it came back as evidence of trimming

Since I believe you are a stand up guy and to me you've proven to be one, you should do what you believe is right. Whether that is issue a partial or full refund, not issue any refund, or just straight up block the guy...it's up to you. I'm not sure there really is a straight up right or wrong answer. My gut says not to issue a refund, but that's just my opinion...just seems weird that it's been over a year and he just now gets around to it. If I were him, there would be no way I would request a refund. If he waited that long to send it in, it's on him and he should eat the card...I would expect the same if I were him. I'm sure he's frustrated, but this seems like common sense to me and he should probably just move on.

Good luck and keep us updated,

Mike

EXACTLY! Is there no shame among collectors any more? I've bought things that I set aside and never pulled out until a year or more later only to be disappointed with it for one reason or another, but never once did it cross my mind that I should be able to go back to whoever I bought it from and get my money back. To me, it's just understood that in that situation you just suck it up and move on. Nobody wants to make their own mistakes any more!

If you can't tell, I'm a little sick of being abused by moronic buyers

If they would just announce their idiotic intentions up front, I'd refuse to deal with them on principle, but it's always after-the-fact (sometimes over a year after-the-fact) that they come back to bite you. I feel your pain, Dan.

From the pre-80's forum, there's been several reports of cards from the 60's coming back from grading as not meeting the minimum size requirement. I've personally had one and know darn well it was never trimmed. [note - I'm not certain if 'minimsizrq' is a catchall which includes 'trimmed'.]

Also, depending upon how the initial sale ad was written would have a bearing on whether the buyer deserved a refund. If you guaranteed authenticity, then I suspect a refund might be in order. But if there was no such guarantee and the card was simply raw, then it's always buyer beware (IMO).
