How well do you know the buyer?

When I first started in the business, a buyer won a 99 cent Topps coin from me. The buyer claimed that the bubble envelope arrived with a slit on the side and the coin was missing. I didn't think twice and I just refunded the 99 cents plus S/H. I figured someone at the USPS was a thief but it was only 99 cents.

A few years later, I mailed a Topps coin to a buyer and the exact same thing happened. I said to myself, something is fishy here. I looked back on my records and sure enough it was the exact same buyer.

I confronted him and he never responded.

Don't always blame the USPS.

I sure miss selling on eBay.
