I am asking for pictures now and yes $50 insurance I think. Lesson learned.
thanks!

Did this guy just message you or actually open an eBay dispute?

Also if you shipped through US Priority Mail, it's auto insured up to $100. Check what You need to do for a claim.

Really? They have been telling me $100 for a number of months now.

Yup I've gotten this same info from PayPal when printing labels. Maybe they're wrong or have a special agreement. They do offer discounted shipping so it's possible.

PayPal defaults to that third party insurance. Are you it's not the ship cover that PayPal defaults to? I just shipped something the other day wand when I picked USPS insurance it was $50 free on PayPal.
 
hey guys need some Ebay advice.
I sold a Kotobukiya IM statue for $75. He was perfect leaving my house. so it arrived at its destination on the 24th and today he said the base broken and wants a 25% discount instead of returning it. What are my options here? I don't mind doing the discount if it really is broken.

It's also not a bad idea to just go through the eBay dispute even if you agree with the seller... essentially it just keeps a solid record of the transaction and I think you may get back the fees of the refunded difference; but I'm not positive about that part.

Oh, and I assume there is no way to know for sure if that is your base or not... probably not individually numbered? But I would not put it past someone to swap out a broken item in order to save money. And I'd check the buyers buying and feedback history just on the office chance he has purchased a broken IM statue or has left a lot of neutral and negative feedback when people didn't agree to refunds... there are a number of people who just scam as much as possible on eBay and you really can't tell until you do some digging.

I had that happen when I sold a used ipod years ago, the guy said it was broken and wanted a full refund and to return the item. I knew it was functional when I sent it and didn't believe it could have had any damage. So I check his buying and selling history and sure enough he had left a lot of neutral and negative feedback for other sellers and had bought and sold a number of broken ipods. I submitted my findings to eBay and they sided with me, I kept my money and the buyer got nothing but to keep what he paid for.
 
Flat rate boxes have $100 coverage right ?
According to USPS if its regular priority mail it includes $50 of insurance, the priority express ( formally know as next day) includes $100. I think its the payapl third party that might include the extra coverage.

Actually I just tested on ebay its says $50 included with priority mail using a flat rate and the ship cover charges for $50.

I had a guy try and pull something like that with a SS dio i sold. He said the hand of Anakin had broken in shipping and there was a big piece missing. I asked where the rest of it was it? If it was broken during shipping the piece would still be there. Never heard back. I figure he broke his , he bought mine and was going to try and send me back his broken one but when I called his bluff even a lil he chickened out.

Hopefully this guy isn't just a ****** and if he is ill get some karma points lol. i checked his feedback all positive. So no red flags there.
