I fail to see where the destruction of the AS due to substandard packing has been disputed. I also fail to see what that has to do with PayPal. Insurance claims should've been made with the shipper, no? It's not PayPal's responsibility to fix damage done in shipping. If the item had never been shipped, that'd be one thing, but I'm assuming it was fine when it was purchased, past which point PayPal could rightfully wash their hands of it.
That's why I get all over a seller to find out what they know about packing such items before their incompetency has a chance to come into play. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich" <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 3:23 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Whaddya think it will Pay Pal? > The first question I have is who exactly negotiated with the shipper, who > I am making the assumption > was UPS? > > > On Wed, 14 Feb 2007 15:24:50 -0500, Ken Danckaert wrote: > >>Since you appear to be such an expertl, I refer you to the pictures of >>the badly demolished Columbia AS.
