No need to fret anymore over this one, Larry, ole buddy.
You're in the right. The fact that you even wrestle with this at all simply attests
to your ongoing pursuit of the good.

+100.

Larry, you have to be the easiest, most fair minded guy to deal with on the board. Don't sweat some jerk. Life is too short.

I used to cave in to idiots like this buyer and submit to their demands even when I knew I was in the right just to protect my ratings and keep my 20% discount...now that ebay has made it nearly impossible to get the discount I don't play games anymore. You got a problem, send it back for a refund..if I made a mistake in my listing, or if it got broken in shipping I'll refund your return shipping too. If you have buyer's remorse I'll take it back and you pay the return shipping. If you're out for a partial refund for any reason ship it back, I don't play that game. It's gotten me a few negatives, but like I said I don't cave to the unreasonable idiots anymore.

Larry,

Your the best on the bay !! Thanks for all of the transactions we have had together. The buyer although with a lot of feedback seems to be trying to strong arm you because he is " experienced" and negative feedback will result in never selling another item. I doubt that eBay will side with him as your description is good.

if he cant see that card is trimmed even from the scan, he should save the grading fees and put the cash towards a new set o' specs...

If it were me, I would cave to the buyer's demands because he sounds completely unreasonable and will almost certainly lead to negative feedback, which could hurt the prices you get in future auctions. So be careful there...

I would also block that guy from bidding in the future.

In his defense, I will say that your listing is unclear and because you have the word trimmed below the Cobb card, he could have gotten confused. I would get that Cobb card outta there...

my question here is this about the question about the cobb picture,
does the heading say cobb or myers?

Your Buyer has a FBack of 6947!! Clearly he knows what he's doing & surely he has tried this ploy many times before. You owe him nothing!

I DO think, however, that "trimmed" should either be in the Title or at least a bit more prominent in your ever so brief & rather small type descpt. just to be a bit clearer & to avoid any confusion.

I don't agree with what the buyer is doing, let me make that clear. You asked what would I do, I gave my viewpoint. Tis' all.

+1...Additionally, I do not see where Larry did anything wrong. Just my opinion...

Larry:
1- I don't think the Cobb Green is confusing;
2- I think you made it clear the card is trimmed;
3- You don't owe him anything. You could give him a refund to keep him happy, but I doubt you want him as a customer anyway.

I once bought a 1965 Topps Oliva advertised as PSA 9 Mint. On the flip it said Mint 9(OC), but the seller never mentioned it in the description. I was angry at him, but also at myself for being careless. You put it in the description in red. I think the buyer should have paid more attention.

[Cardboard Junkie]

Did I miss something here? Where does Larry say the buyer "missed that the card was listed as trimmed"? He may have sent the card in seeking an "authentic" slab. Yes he is unreasonable to want Larry to pay for grading and postage....where did he come up with that? What was the reason he gave for asking you to do so? Dave.

I'm not so defensive about perfect feedback that I'd be run over. I'd tell tell him to F off and if I got a negative I'd appeal it.
