Well, Franc, kinda have to disagree with you. Sure it arrived damaged, sure the seller should return Rich's money, but to give the seller a pass for the high possibility that they were patently dishonest and doctored or 'massaged' their Ebay images to fraudulently present the poster in a better condition than
it was, does matter.

If they were merely guilty of horrific packaging, that's likely carelessness and negligence. But if that IS the same poster and the images were doctored not to show the massive tear, then that shows some pre-meditation, and a cognizance that the poor condition of the poster would not bring a high price, ergo
their motive to doctor the pics.

Franc, I doubt you were suggesting that doctoring images is an acceptable practice as long as the seller refunds an unhappy buyer's purchase price. For what would follow, as may be Rich's experience in this case, if the seller is commonly fraudulent and then they make Rich wait weeks for a refund, that, in itself is no evidence of A**holiness, for this Seller is only being consistent and clearly had class with a capital 'A' to begin with.

It doesn't matter if it's the same poster or not. The poster apparently arrived damaged beyond reason. The seller should return the money to the buyer in the interest of good business. But if you're waiting for three weeks for a refund, this seller is either an A**hole or a crook or both.

Subject: [MOPO] eBay seller Isaacmuzzy is a crook


hey folks

I have to post this one.. looks like I have been screwed by an ebay
seller who apparently used a stock image for a 1917 poster I won

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310099293533

the poster I received was shredded on both sides due to rotten
shipping and the tear which is shown as a few inches in the photo was
a 23 inch jagged tear

here are pics I took before I shipped it back
http://www.movieposterbid.com/0heart/

item was returned to the seller 3 weeks ago & as yet the seller has
not refunded my money

everyone should clearly avoid such a seller, especially as Paypal has
refused to refund my money - $250. (I'll be on the phone with those
a**holes shortly)

The seller frequently has silent posters and I have to presume she is
no more honest with those listings than she was with my win
