Heh. Fair enough but how does one damage a toploader and a card without damaging the packaging?

Easy enough, if it was sent in a bubble envelope: It got bent

That's not enough to tear the envelope, but it is enough to break the plastic.

the bend in the top loader and card matches the bend in the bubble mailer so im pretty sure it happened in transit. the scan they used on the auction also shows no damage

i'll say this again

I was typing my message when you posted that, lol I was like, "oh, well there ya go".

Either way, a good seller will work with you and refund you. But there are some bad ones out there too, and Ebay will protect you and for sure refund your money. I think you'll be able to get your dough back either way.

I would say it would have to be the PO on this one something like this happened to me but I was the seller. Sorry this happened rogue

I got a response from the seller and she said to send back and she'll refund the money. so, crisis adverted.

thanks for the input everyone

Awesome! Sucks you're missing out on the card though.

[rogue655]

This brings up a good point...I am not talking from experience but just now thought of this. As a buyer, you said that the card was packaged very well and that the damage appeared to occur in transit which means it really was no fault of the seller. As a buyer, you always have to option to pay for insurance for just this kind of accident.

In your case, I think it's great that the seller is accepting the card back and giving you a refund so basically the money is coming out of their pocket for something that they were not responsible for. All of the posts seem to agree that this is what the seller should do and I agree but what about the seller? I have sold several cards on ebay and thankfully I have not had any issues with people saying that the card arrived damaged or not at all. Most cards I sell are low in value so it wouldn't be a big deal anyway...but what recourse does a seller have in this case?
