Re: [MOPO] Lame return reasons
Sorry, Peter, as a buyer on ebay I have to say I lean towards your buyer. There are so many scams on ebay -- many of which are reported here on MOPO -- that its no wonder she's paranoid. The slightest whiff of being scammed sends a buyer into conniptions. The problem (in this case) is not the buyer but the thieving sellers who are scamming buyers. Its easy to blame the buyer, but look at it... what makes ebay run? Its the buyer. If the buyers didn't buy, sellers wouldn't have the money to pay their ebay fees. What makes buyers run? Bad sellers. While its understandable being angry over the buyer's chargeback, you know she can retract the chargeback -- which she won't do if you take a hostile attitude towards her. If you have to suck it up in order to make nice with her, its because of bad sellers. You made a small, honest mistake and she over-reacted.

Re: [MOPO] Lame return reasons
Anyone remember when eBay was only a venue and didn't control every aspect of every transaction, and 99.9% of all buyers and sellers managed to do just fine without that overseeing and were far happier? eBay's relationship to its users is starting to remind me of that of the U.S. Federal government!

Re: [MOPO] Lame return reasons
Hallo MOPO Speaking as a buyer, I've had more bad experiences with mis-sold items in the last 2 years than in the 8 years prior to that. I'm not particularly buying more stuff either (I buy maybe a few items each month) so something seems like it's amiss in this downturned economy In recent months there's been the Mint one-sheet that arrived torn and re-taped (a copy the seller had tried to flog earlier in the year with no takers), there was the Advance poster that turned out to be an International Advance (despite the 'clear' image/description) and a poster with more insect damage than a post-atomic New Mexico. I'm not saying the sellers didn't go to efforts to rectify this, but if too many purchases slip into arbitration it becomes a drag. Several times I've been sent a different copy to the one I bought. Sometimes the difference is subtle, sometimes it is bone-shakingly obvious. This has happened maybe four times in the last couple of years, which doesn't seem a lot unless you consider that I buy infrequently. Guess how many times I've been incorrectly sent a better quality or higher value poster? That's right, a total of zero times. Where's the law of averages when you need him? I suspect Buyers are being unnecessarily ornery not because of one bad transaction, but because there have been several occasions where they may feel they're being taken. The one where they kick-off is the straw that broke the camel's back. I do most of my purchasing from emovieposter.com these days with none of these headaches. Just my 5c.

Re: [MOPO] Lame return reasons
I offer a line of 11x17 custom framed movie poster reprints for $18.99 complete. Every once in awhile I get a person who thought it was an original movie poster, size 27x40 or 41 when they ordered, even though I have the text 11x17 everywhere on the website and my ebay auctions. The last person ordered an 11x17 Forbidden Planet and was upset that it wasn't the original from 1956. I tried to explain that an original was several thousand dollars and they didn't want to hear any of it and threatened to contact Ebay that I had duped them. I offered a full refund upon the return of the item. Not sure what happened, but I never heard from the guy again and went on to block him from bidding on my auctions. Ive had a few other doozies, but that was the freshest one in my mind!

It had a 1/4 edge tear on the upper border but no other defects. I advertised it as near Mint.

Re: [MOPO] Lame return reasons
MessageI haven't had a return for a very long time but one that did irk me was when a customer sent a lobby card back. He said the condition was not as described. I wondered if maybe something might have happened in transit to the package but when it came back it was in perfect condition - no defects at all and exactly as described. I gave him the refund because it wasnt worth getting into a further discussion but I later found out that he had just wanted the card to take a high res image so that he could produce reprints that he sold. - Original Message - From: Franc To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 4:28 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Lame return reasons I haven't gotten the I thought I was buying a DVD in a while but I did get a strange one.

Re: [MOPO] Lame return reasons
I never get excuses from people to return anything.. largely because I almost never get any returns. but they can say anything they want, even my wife doesn't want me to have it.. I just don't care I have a return policy that allows you to return for anything for any reason, as long as I get it back in the same condition I shipped it (presuming a return isn't because of damage in shipping, which again, almost never happens) that said.. yes.. I have heard some doozies.. my favorite one was when selling a Crude Oasis poster maybe 8 years ago on fleaBay (back when I actually sold there) sold it to a college student in this case, it wasn't printed on glossy stock, but on mat stock for International distribution the student thought that was weird and asked her college professor about it he stated flatly it's on the wrong kind of paper.. it must be a reprint no amount of chat would convince her otherwise, so I just told her to send it back she never did.. I got negged screwing with someone once myself when buying a photoplay edition that had a replica DJ, not original, I said to the seller.. well first of all the DJ is a replica not original and it's noted as original DJ in the listing.. also, the book is too small and does hold open the door, so it doesn't serve my purpose. (I later returned the book, never got my $$, got a run-around and left a neg. I wonder why all the people I have negged between the 2 accounts I have have all been for small sums of money. not one is over $40. Maybe it's the less money the sale is, the dumber I am as a seller) : - ) Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Lame returns, I have had 3 or 4 and exactly the same reason WIVES I am convinced wives are the greatest threat to our hobby now that Haggard is dropping soap in Federal Prison. Quotes.

Re: [MOPO] Lame return reasons
I have a good one from today actually. A woman bought an Empire Strikes Back style A one sheet from me on ebay. I have several copies and instead of pulling the copy I photographed for the listing, I mistakenly pulled one marked International on the bottom. She received and alerted me to this. I told her no worries, send back and I will send the correct one and refund shipping. I received a nasty email today telling me that she wanted her money back and threatened negative feedback because I wasn't home yesterday when they tried to deliver it. I told her fine, sorry for not canceling my entire schedule for the week while awaiting her poster. I told her I would refund her entire costs including the two shipping charges she incurred. I then went to paypal and she had already filed a dispute so now the transaction and money are frozen while they look into it. I wrote her and told her the situation and pointed out that it is unreasonable buyers like her that have caused a lot of good dealers to forego selling on ebay. I see a negative blemish on my perfect feedback score on the horizon.

Re: [MOPO] Lame return reasons
That is exactly what I had presumed as well. I wonder if it was the same customer.

He said the condition was not as described. I wondered if maybe something might have happened in transit to the package but when it came back it was in perfect condition - no defects at all and exactly as described. I gave him the refund because it wasnt worth getting into a further discussion but I later found out that he had just wanted the card to take a high res image so that he could produce reprints that he sold. - Original Message - From: Franc mailto:fdav...@verizon.net To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 4:28 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Lame return reasons I haven't gotten the I thought I was buying a DVD in a while but I did get a strange one. I had a lobby card which was MINT. I could not find a defect of any kind on it. It was returned because the buyer said it was not in the condition he expected. I also had a rolled One sheet Advance from For Your Eyes Only. It had a 1/4 edge tear on the upper border but no other defects. I advertised it as near Mint. Someone (who happens to be on this board and resells posters with a huge mark-up) wrote to me that he was not at all happy on account of the 1/4 edge tear and wanted a 50% discount. I told him to return it.
