GPA correction report

[paperheart]

The importance of this event is valid enough to warrant its own thread because?

 

A) It's Friday somewhere

B) To inform the masses of the additional books to be sold

C) I have no idea

 

D)GPA is a division of CGC and hops to it whenever a board member requests anything

One motive?

I have 10 cgc graded copies .

 

 

I can see how someone with that much to lose on 10 copies would want to invalidate a transaction that's a GPA low.

His negative feedback read :

:WARNING SELLER ABUSES RETURN POLICY HE IS A CONMAN LIAR!! THIEF".

 

Now, any potential bidders who saw his feedback would have thought he is likely a shill, hence the book selling at a GPA low.

 

On top of that, why would I want to take the chance of getting screwed a second time when I ship the slab out to England and he returns it for a refund...sending me back a box with 2 pounds worth of newspapers?

 

As a seller, I reserve the right not to sell to such d-bag scammers.

 

What was his overall feedback score though?

 

 

 

The fact it was a GPA low didn't make you dig through the buyers feedback though?

 

PS: I'm going to go do some yard work. I'm curious to see how this goes though...

 

 

Whenever I sell a bigger ticket book, I check the buyer's feedback before I ship out.

 

In this case, the buyer had a score of 200 or so + feedbacks.

 

One of his most recent feedbacks from a little over a month ago (within his last 10 or less feedback postings) was the glaringly negative feedback.

 

That screams red flag to me.

 

We all know that the buyer, given Paypal's return policy, would allow for the buyer to open an iyem not received case, or merely just write up a return item request, and send the slab back to me.

 

He may or may not have done so, but I am not taking that chance because based on his negative feedback...he screwed someone over before....and there would be no way for me to prove that if he did send me back a box full of grass clippings in a zioloc baggie, that weighed as much as a box with the CGC book in it...that I'd have no way to prove the slab was not in the box he sent back to me.

 

I explained that to the eBay customer service rep and the rep sided with my point and as I refunded the guy within minutes of being paid, the rep approved my cancellation request and removed the negative feedback that he posted under my account.It took 3 phone calls and well over a collective 2 hours of my time to get this sorted out.

 

To those, who want to question my character, I have decided to put the book back up to its original BIN price of $550.

 

And just like the Suicide Squad #1 CGC 9.0 that I sold on Friday with shipping on me and 100% of the sale price donated to the Wounded Warrior Project, 100% of the sale of this book will go directly to the Wounded Warrior Priject.

 

The book has 4 sales over $500 in cgc 9.8, this year.

 

IMHO, due to this book being a news stand copy, it is worth every penney of its' GPA high of $550.

 

To those who question my character, I say put your money where your mouth is.

 

Buy the book, effectively donating $550 to one of the most deserving charity groups out there, in the process.

[thecopperagekids]

Regarding my character, let me state that the 1 guy who bought a slab off me did receive the book, albeit a late delivery.Since then, all of my shipments have been very prompt.I learned my lesson and to make it crystal clear, I have *never* fleeced anyone.

 

I also am not going to let myself be sucked into responding to any other remarks of a negative nature.

I don't know the seller from a hole in the wall, but this is the comment that resonates with me.

Can you see how disclosing you have 10 copies to sell, and that you cancel an auction that's well below GPA, ostensibly because the seller's feedback is the reason, even though you note only one feedback out of 200+, could be seen as potentially having competing motives over and above your paralyzing fear of being defrauded?

 

Can you see how having 10 copies of a book and donating one, at a price that would tie an GPA all-time high, might be construed as a helping you move the other 9 at a number that's currently $220 above the 90 GPA average in addition to purported altruism?

 

Or is helping move GPA back in the "right" direction and your massive personal inventory, again, irrelevant?

 

Probably would have helped you more to email George directly to correct GPA and not reveal you're sitting on a pile of copies all Smaug-style.

Your rebuttal is completely hypocritical.

It's not about trusting the buyer as he already paid you.

You were sad that your down trending book sold for less than you like.

You are the one who should be receiving negatives on eBay.

You don't have the common sense to run a successful comic stand

and should find a new gig.

That's my favorite way to sit on my piles.

 

Smaug style.

 

PS. $550 for a 1987 book? Oy. When is Justice League (1987) gonna take off?

Smaug style is the only way, really.

 

With some careful GPA cultivation, you too can move Justice League where you want it to go. You've got to want it, though.

Does the payment go to you or to the WWP? If it is direct to WWP,

Not questioning your character, I can write off a donation to them. I cant write it off if it goes to you.

[RockMyAmadeus]

There you go.

 

Gauntlet: thrown.

Being deceptive and sneaky is wayyyyyy too much effort.

[shadroch]

There you go.

I'm not challenging anyone. I think its a nice thing he is doing and if I can help, so much the better.

Nevertheless, there is someone willing to take him up on his offer. Now we shall see where it goes.

[rob_react]

Why is this posted here? Why not just email GPA? Is this like how Comics General is ComicLink's customer service?

[comix4fun]

There you go.

If it's about donating to charity, then it should be acceptable to accept the transaction here. Let Shad make the donation directly, show proof, and ship him the book.

 

It shouldn't have to go through eBay, so GPA can track it, so Shad can't make the donation directly, if it's all about giving to a worthy cause and no other competing reason.
