[QUOTE=Imac7065;9892839]I blocked the OP from bidding on future items when they decided to open a paypal case almost immediately after losing their eBay case. They were trying to double dip. Another point glossed over by the masses here.

Completely agree they are a victim in this situation.. not sure how its my responsibility to hold the liability of COMC though.. still waiting for that explanation. Just because some "feel or "think" its the right thing to do... does not make it so. Once you leave yourself open to scam and fraud.. the flood gates will always come in. 15 years of selling has taught me that way too many times.[/QUOTE]

This dumbfounded me? The OP is trying to "double dip" on what? The buyer has multiple avenues to try and recoup their loss (do to poor shipping by the seller), and I don't blame them. If PayPal sided with you, I wouldn't blame the OP for filing a chargeback with their CC company of PayPal failed him as well. It's absurd to say that you're opening yourself up for repetitive scamming by a company that has done such a service broadly and for a long time. Typical iMac playing the victim card :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=SDcardguy24;9893076]wow Imac is banned. Never thought I'd see the day...[/QUOTE]

Not sure why based solely on this thread. Other than the two member pissing contest (started by the other member) it stayed on point.

There is an addressable issue here, outside how to handle customer service. How much responsibility should the third party shoulder? What level of transparency should be required of them? Similar to shipping to an individual at a corporate address/mail station, where does the seller responsibility and the recipient responsibility transfer?

Outside of the two member personal attacking, the remainder of the thread has merit. It would prove prudent for the company in question to chime in and discuss their SOP and other internal protocol.

I am more interested to see how the eBay loophole plays out. Even COMC can proof they are 100% no fault, eBay will always side with the seller who ships an empty package.

I don't consider it a loop hole, though i conjure negative images when i hear that word. When in reality the use of that word relates to simply following the defined rules.

Look at it from the legal side: the process leaves too many 'what ifs' leaving 'beyond reasonable doubt' proof near impossible. Assumption from a criminal perspective.

Look at all the speculative opines in this thread. Just one if them is enough to question whether the seller is ultimately responsible. (Responsible per selling rules, not individual business etiquette)

[QUOTE=Yaga;9891232]I'm not trying to smear your name and I'm simply repeating what I was told by comc. I did not include the other images originally because comc suggested that the package wasn't sealed properly, and those two images show it best. I've had over 15K in sales (and I can't even guess how much in purchases) through comc and have been a loyal customer for years.[B] They're not going to rip me off 80 bucks in cards to risk losing a good customer.[/B]

Sure I have no issues showing the other pics.

Just remember... I'm the one who didn't get what I paid for, and I'm out the money here.[/QUOTE]

Was just going to catch up but this struck me as funny when we saw what the initial response from Nathan was over an 8.00 transaction. That response likely costs them a few customers.

[QUOTE=Imac7065;9891486]Thank you for speaking out but I disagree. I have stated multiple times in this thread when a package is damaged to the point this one is claimed to be.. USPS puts the package in a "we care" plastic sleeve with an apology letter. That did not happen in this case. It would take a GIANT cluster F on the part of USPS for this to happen the way COMC claims.


That being said.. I have had 5 packages "disappear" on me from USPS within the last 6 months.. I am highly frustrated with them lately myself.

PS.. I have over 1000 items listed this week.. plenty of the kind of things you buy. Thanks for your continued business.[/QUOTE]

I have seen many packages worse than that arrive that do not have that bag. In the end it is up to the seller to get the item to the buyer regardless of insurance is bought or not. Insurance protects the seller not the buyer.

[QUOTE=Clarka3;9892160]seems like it's simple, but there is a loophole that absolved the seller of responsibility, and he's taking it.[/QUOTE]

I said that early on and agree fully. The seller knew of the loophole saw there was an issue and jumped on it by calling Ebay. What he forgot is when the split occurred they stated they will allow you to open independent cases. Hopefully the OP paid with a CC.

wow, just wow.

I think in other threads COMC has made it clear they won't be responsible if items are missing upon receipt. It would appear they took the pictures right away and contacted the buyer right away.

I don't see why they would be on the list of the ones stealing, they actually make money off of the mailbox and have other internal streams to prevent theft, which have also been mentioned over the years.

It's a sticky situation by far. The envelope was cut or the glue was not good and came open IMO. I've used crappy bubble mailers and labels which don't like to stick and worried about it opening or the label falling off. These mailers go through hell once they are out of our hands. I'm sure there are people in that Redmond PO who see the COMC name and know what they do, but it could have also happened back in FL if the PO there knows Imac.

As far as I remember insurance is for the Seller and the seller cannot ask for the buyer to pay extra for it. It needs to be included in the shipping cost/final sales price r out of the sellers pocket.

I wonder since ebay has this little loop hole, if they have a loop hole for consigned items. Does ebay do verified cosigners? I know they advertise for pwcc and probstein. I used to be in a program they ran ages ago to sell items for local people who didn't have ebay. But that was verified and run through ebay for matching and contacting. Could the people sending stuff to the cosigners start to play games with deliveries, selling prices, etc, since the cosigner could be looked at as a middleman/3rd party such as COMC is being viewed here?

[QUOTE=37Jetson;9892315]I just thought of a question.... Does a COMC Mailbox count as a Paypal Confirmed Address?[/QUOTE]

being confirmed no longer matters on Ebay transactions, this is not a new loophole, I have warned buyers who use the mailbox of this potential issue in the past.

[QUOTE=shrevecity;9893435]I said that early on and agree fully. The seller knew of the loophole saw there was an issue and jumped on it by calling Ebay. What he forgot is when the split occurred they stated they will allow you to open independent cases. Hopefully the OP paid with a CC.[/QUOTE]

right. i said that to some other people. Imac sure knew of that rule pretty quickly and jumped on it by calling ebay to get off the hook for it.

then to act like he would refund the guy if comc wasn't involved seemed disingenuous.


honestly, whether he deserved it or not (I feel that he did), this forum is a better place. He did business fine for the most part, but name one thread where he didn't cause a #@#@#@#@-show by not owning up to something shady he did.

I wold think the lies about Houdini was the final straw.

Will all you trolls just admit that the shipping label being torn almost in half, albeit on the opposite end of where the envelope is sealed, is full justification for walking away from financial accountability since it is obvious that COMC stole the cards.

Wow just woke up to read that imac got banned. Crazy!

I just sent this link to Nathan at comc to see if he wants to say anything from their point of view. I didn't realize it would become such a hot topic when I originally posted it!

should of just did what was right and refunded the buyer. $80 is pennies based on your volume. it's nothing to me in my business and it's nowhere near the volume.

instead you exploited the loophole which you were clearly aware of

the likely scenario is that it was stolen by someone in the USPS system. i'm sure some of them collect cards and something going to COMC is an easy mark. no way you sent an empty mailer and no way COMC stole three random basketball cards.

good riddance

It was clear it was going to happen once people realized who the seller was. He knows as well as anyone else that if the items were lost during transit by the USPS he is responsible regardless of if insurance is bought or not. When you opened the case he saw the address and he knew then he could call Ebay and point out this was shipped to a company that offers a reshipping service which voids the protection. He clearly took advantage of this, the most likely culprit is the USPS.

There is really not much for Nathan to respond to(aside from the accusations by Imac) the loophole is not on their end, its with Ebay and Paypal and its there for a good reason, but it does open the door for exploitation like this.

In this case does shipping to an unverified address (assuming this is the case for a COMC Mailbox) trump the third party angle?

I have no idea and would like to hear everyone's thoughts.

Nope, with Ebay transactions it does not. However since the OP has now opened a Paypal claim which is allowed since the split this could actually help the OP, the only issue is they stated when they announced this that they would consider the Ebay results as well. And since sellers have no control over that on Ebay transactions I would hate it as a seller if Paypal does side with the OP due to that reason, even though the OP deserves a refund that reason would open a huge door that could be exploited as well.

Many times you don't have a choice. There are literally dozens of these companies that act like the GSP not to mention family members who do it for relatives and if its on Ebay a seller may never know until it has been done, if you have sold enough on Ebay I guarantee you have done so and did not even know it..

Here is why it is needed though, I sold an item I ship it to an address in Utah. 3 weeks later the buyer messages me stating he just got the item and that it go damaged in shipping so I though OK return for full refund, until the buyer opened a claim and I saw he was in Singapore. I questioned that and he told me that he had it shipped to his aunt in Utah and she opened to make sure it was there then put it on another package she was sending. Ebay sided with me for this reason. Given IMACs volume and such he likely has a dedicated rep for his account on Ebay who acts as a "YES" man.

There are also a couple like the various flight2 IDs that do this as well but their approach the buyer contacts them to bid on the item on their behalf when they win they pay for the item and such. They get the item and decide it if a claim needs to be filed or not. If so they are the buyer on record and can file on their buyers behalf

I frequently ship to a Super Store addressee in Delaware. I have also shipped to them in California and I believe Washington. This company aids SE Asia, particularly China based buyers.

There are quite a few reshippers that assist international eBay buyers.

A few actually do the purchasing and receiving.

The first time I saw this comc address I had reservations. Based on this thread, rightly so. Since then I've shipped dozens, if not one hundred packages there. Call me lucky, but thus far no customer has complained.

I had one instance where a buyer bought 3 cards from me and sent to COMC and one did not arrive. It was 2.00 so I just refunded the card price and moved on. Buyer was happy because he stated it had happened before and he did not get anything back from the seller or Ebay.

You can't run from the inevitable. Only a matter of time before he got banned. Don't know how he lasted that long.

I just don't understand how a businessman can't see why refunding a customer who didn't receive his/her cards (regardless if they are technically not compelled to do so) wouldn't make business sense. What if this thread was actually about how a great seller took care of his/her customer even though due to an Ebay loophole they were not going to be forced to do so? How much great publicity would that have brought to his/her Ebay business and how many people would read it and think, "I think I want to spend my money with this person. He/she seems like good people."

Yes, you won. The buyer didn't receive his cards, and yet you will not have to issue a refund. I really hope that the $80 was worth having your name drug through the mud and having people think, "What a petty man this person is. I think I want to spend my money elsewhere."

I agree IMAC should have refunded here, but there are some cases where it does not work and the publicity you generate can be bad. With Ebays policies many scammers look at sellers who do give refunds to be easy targets for scams, much like some scammers prey on sellers with 100% feedback. They see them as someone who will do anything to avoid an issue. And these scammers have message boards and facebook pages where they talk about who their marks are. You have to pick in choose your battles. Thing is this site only represents a small portion of the card buyers on Ebay and many here already shy away from IMACs listings due to his personality and inability to take responsibility for things

Here it is clear that something happened to the package in transit which is the sellers responsibility, however IMAC knowing Ebay policy took advantage of that and instead of doing the right thing took advantage of that policy and screwed the buyer.

HAHAHA business man? Slow down lol

El IMAC 26 vivirá para siempre!

On another note.... I totally agree with FREE2131 on how this thread could have been positive and a great way for the seller to promote how he does business. Bad things happen sometimes, but as someone who has been in retail management... I'd rather just take care of the customer and chalk it up as a loss no matter who was at fault. If its a clear cut scam, deal with it harshly... but don't lose your reputation over $80.

Found this and thought it fitting...

In his defense given his volume and his attitude his feedback is not that bad and some of the feedback makes the buyer look like the PITA as well. He has a few for shipping delays which we know is just part of dealing with the USPS. One neg the buyer admits they never contacted him to try to resolve. Almost have to wonder how many are members here who just bought something for the purpose of leaving him a neg. Don't say it does not happen we have seen it suggested and done by some in the past.

However that does not excuse how he handles himself at times. If you are going to act the way he does and post your Ebay ID for all to see you are going to have to expect some retaliation. He deserves to be banned, but his banning is not going to affect his Ebay in anyway. Yes his actions here were way wrong, but that is the risk of using COMC mailbox or other services.

[QUOTE=groundsupport;9903079]Only Imac could screw up a $2.00 transaction.[/QUOTE]

2.00 transactions are not that hard to mess up. Many sellers on the Ebay boards will tell you that buyers of items less than 10.00 are the biggest problems on Ebay. Looking at my negs and neutrals all but 3 were on items under 10.00 2 were on dollar items. One I sent the wrong card, refunding and sending the correct card was not enough. The other got mad because I opened an unpaid item claim on a 1.00 item.

Makes perfect sense that higher dollar purchases a seller is going to pay more attention to and put more effort in a low dollar one does not draw that much attention.

Imac's true colors were on full display in this thread. The OP was a very kind and understanding person and Jeremy chose to shortcut the investigative process versus working with the OP. Even if the $80 was preventing Imac from eating or paying the air conditioning bill he could have at least offered to make it up in some other way to the buyer.

So an update finally here... Paypal wants me to file a police report and send them the paperwork. I'm not going to bother over 80 bucks, especially since it was shipped from a US seller to a US consignment place... not even sure if they'd take the claim up here in Canada!? Either way, it's done and the money is not coming back. Sucks but it is what it is!
