SO I bought this auction from the guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT
He states and I quote "Everything in excellent condition with no damage I can find, just light to minor wear from play.". So I bid and win and figure the figures are just gonna have light paint wear at the worst and maybe 3 or 4 of them have a loose knee or something nothing major right. Well I get them last night open them up and can tell its just crap, fodder. Over half the figures have loose joints and heavy paint wear. So I email the guy instantly and tell him I need to return these as they are not as advertised and in poor condition. I said it in a non threatening manner and was respectful. Then the guy says he doesn't want to be rude and say anything bad and just tells me to re-read the auction. So what do you guys think I should do. I'm thinking open a claim w/paypal and return the figures, get tracking w/usps then file a claim w/paypal. So that way if he doesn't refund my $ promptly I will be covered. What do you guys all think. I am pretty picky w/my figures to begin w/but I bought this knowing they weren't going to be mint so that I understand but these are literally just crap. I mean seriously. Even when I was a kid I never had figures in this bad of condition. I always took good care of my figures wen I was growing up so I thought this was completely ridiculous. I wouldn't even sell the body parts from the figures to anyone because they are that bad. Each figure has heavy paint wear not light to miner as he states in the auction. WTF are sellers on ebay thinking!

do it. if you think he was miselading. take it to him. we need to stop sellers from doing this and this is a good place to start.

Do it! Open a claim with Paypal and ebay. You should get your money back and even the price it cost to ship the stuff back to him.

Thats what I thought. seriously the Twins have a ton of paint wear and they are easily in C-6 condition. Nothing in the lot is better than a C-7/8. it simply ridiculous. I'm going to go to the Post Office and then file a claim w/paypal as soon as I get home. I'll keep you all posted. Some people these days I tell ya. I mean if the guy said the figures are not mint and have play wear which includes loose joints and moderate paintwear then I can understand and it would be my fault but he was totally misleading. Grrr makes Hulk Angry!

well I mailed all the figures back to the guy. I filed the claim and put the confirmation # in the claim message to seller. I also put the receipt bill# in there as well. Pretty sure I'll get my refund. If I don't hear anything by Monday from the guy I'm going to escalate it to a paypal claim.
