BURNING IN HELL
I am so fed up dealing with those liars and/or bad buyers.

1) If I list an item as mib - only opened to inspect then placed back in box. Then it might HAVE paint scratches, dust, or black tars/marks on the statue, plus the base might be full of crap that looked like it's been displayed in a monkey zoo for the last 2 years, it also might have different colored paint brushstrokes used to touch up defects. I don't make this crap.. I just sell it. Blame the chinese factory worker who obviously had more interest in reading some Pokemon porno manga instead of painting up a toy.

2) If I'm going to ship a $400+ item, then I'm not going to spend _____**** 30 sec to duct tape the styrofoam shut and package it properly. I don't work at the USPS. If you want your item professionally wrapped then ship Martha Stewart to my house and I'll have her spruce up your items and put little bows on them with scented cinnamon sticks and potpourri for packing material.

I have had buyers literally whining about me throwing the styrofoam together without any tape and then dumping it in the box with no padding on $500+ statues, of course the styrofoam will come separated during shipping and all the parts will fall out into the box..chipped,broken. But hey man, that's like uh.. uh.. that's like the delivery person's thing man. That's not uh.. uh.. my thing man. I don't work at UPS. Mannn.

Then I had shipped one statue while I was eating some delicious chines food and yeah maybe some of that delicious rice fell in with the item and stuck to the base. and I was also tarring my roof while I was packing the item so yeah maybe some black sticky marks got all over the figure, still listed as new/mib. I mean, it WAS new/mib before I started packing it up. So technically that description is 93% accurate.

And just recently I shipped out a mib code 3 x-wing only to find out this buyer didn't like how I carefully and very delicately threw the accessory hard case into the giant soft shipping paper box without any padding/protection. Of course the case opened during shipping and all the pieces came loose and started grinding against each other (picture a high school dance with no chaperone's). The end result is every piece got chipped and scratched up. But that adds to the realism. x-wings are only in pristine condition when they're not battle tested. Would Luke Skywalker get in an undamaged x-wing!? NO.

So yeah..

The sad part is most of those horrible buyers all have good feedback here and on ebay. I am pretty easy going and really not a picky seller, but this is just insane! Like.. in the membrane.

To be fair most buyers are honest and and just STFU when their items come, but it really gets under your skin when you have to deal with those bad buyers especially after they specifically ask you to confirm if the item is mib/new and you say yes because AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME AND SPACE IT IS. But who knows what can happen 10 seconds later. You know? Oops there goes my Popsicle, right into the x-wing cockpit. Oops there goes a used Maxipad into the same box with a Predator. When you're selling and shipping out crap on a daily basis ____ gets real, real fast. Son.

/RANT OFF

Anyone want a new/mib TrueType from HT? It's already packed up and ready to ship!

Yeah l hate buying a PF that is claimed to have never been removed from the box, yet when l get it home and open it up there is some chicken fried rice and sweet and sour souce dried to it.
 
Ugh, I have a stupid buyer situation going on right now.

Someone bought a statue off of me through ebay. I waited 2 days to ship it so that I got paid, etc. I message her letting her know I'll be shipping it out, and I will have delivery confirmation and tracking/insurance.

She then tells me she wants me to ship it to a different address. But I got the message after I had already sent it. Now she's pissed at me for not waiting to hear from her first. I mean really? Why not A. Update it in your paypal! and B. tell me the minute you win? Why wait until I'm shipping it? She's going to leave me negative feedback or neutral now, just because I shipped it to the paypal address.

I hate life.
 
And PayPal only covers you if you ship it to the buyers confirmed address. So tell her to hush.

Just do not forget to reply to her negative feedback. Also, contact Ebay because there are actions you can take for unfair feedback.

My first response to her was that paypal advises against sending it to any other address not listed with them. But then she got mad at me. If she leaves me negative, it will be my first and not the end of the world. It's just really annoying when people buy things but they give you an address that doesn't work for them. Wtf?
 
I for one appreciate the added delicious rice. In fact, I get pissed if a seller does not add this particular complimentary free item to every order.

If she tries to leave you bad feedback on that, you can fight it since you are supposed to ship it to the Paypal-verified address.

I put my junk in a box.
