Telling a tale of ebay fraud

famous bob said
Not getting into the conversation either way ,what I see is faulty packaging by you , the box was too small and the damage was from the inside out , look at the pics . You should have used a bigger box and shoved an ''inside the box'' piece of styrofoam over the shafts that would have kept them from contacting the box if rudely handled , which you gotta expect . To me looks like the shippers fault to start with!!

I have to agree with this. Idiot buyer thought he could buy low and sell high but he received a damaged item, that's on the seller (our OP) who didn't box it properly.

well would you look at that, that listing ending because "the item was lost or broken"

yea, he listed it before he got it (which is monumentally stooopid), then when he got it it was damaged so his listing was wrong so he had to end it

My understanding is the person who received the damaged goods is to file the claim. That way if usps wants to verify that the damage exists usps can request the person that filed the claim bring the item in for review.

I do think this is correct. How can you make a claim on something you don't possess?
