I apoligize in advance if this is the wrong place to be posting this. I normally try to do transactions with fellow collectors here and on Statue Marvels. Occasionally I will buy from eBay but it has to be something extra ordinary be it price or a peice I am adding to my growing collection.
Recently I had the nightmare of dealing with J.C Comics based out of New Jersey. I normally browse the forums and eBay before I start my shift as an L.E.O. I started watching an auction with a buy it now of 275.00 for a Cyclops PF. At lunch I figured why not and bought it, paid immediately and thought all was well. Later that night I emailed the seller (J.C Comics aka Webdeals) for the tracking info. No more than 15 minutes later I was refunded the purchase price. I then got an email from them stating there was an error in the listing, it was mispriced. After here things went down hill fast.
I emailed them stating thats fine, maybe we could work something out, J.C Comics said yeah I can buy the Cyclops PF for 375 + $50 shipping and handling . And after I paid he might be able to take off $20 . I said no thanks and thought this was the end of it. I then got a nasty email from the same guy about how I am an ******* for even thinking they would sell it at that price, I did not responded and instead of not leaving any feedback decided to leave negative feedback due to the attitude conveyed in the emails to me.
This is where it gets out of hand ..... J.C Comics who's mission statement states (We are a family business that treats our customers like family. Many have been with us from the start but we love meeting new customers every day. Whether you are a customer for 20 years or 1 day we want to treat everyone special.) I then received an email stating how dare I leave negative feedback I am nothing more than an ******* ..... I tried to take advantage of them amongst other threats. The next day another ... apoligizing stating they couldn't eat the loss. However if I switched from negative to positive feedback he would send my paypal account $25. I stated that was against ebay policies to even offer something like that and to stop emailing me the negative feedback would stay. I then received two within a few hours that not only threatened me to change it but were also vulgar (multiple explicit rants) and racist. I have taken my matters up the chain with eBay. Was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and wanted to warn fellow collectors.
Also sorry for the length
