I arrived home to check eBay out to find a message waiting for me...Reccently I sold a comic and I gave it a grade of VG.
It had some pen marks and the subscription filled out which I didn't disclose but I thought the Grading would cover that. Possibly the person doesn't know a thing about grading comics..I'm not sure but that's also fair enough.
They sent me a message asking for a part refund or returnal of the comic. I don't take returns on anything as mentioned in my listing...I also don't tend to give refunds either unless it's a very bad mistake....But I've told them I was sorry the comic didn't meet their expectations and gave them a link to CPG grading...I also told them I sm willing to give them $5 refund.
Is this my own fault for not telling such a thing? Or is it something the buyer should have asked before bidding?
Just wanted to get your opinions on a situtaion like this..Has it happened to you?
Hehehe..but atleast they liked my packaging..lol

| I'm afraid I have to agree with buyer on this one. If it is anything other than normal wear and tear, I would specifically list it in the item description or at least in parenthesis next to the given grade. That would include such things as pen marks, date stamps, subscription creases, staple pulls, etc. Some collectors don't mind these things, but others adamantly reject these flaws. Disclosing as much as is reasonably possible just avoids problems down the line. As far as a no refund policy...that's a no-no! It gives the buyer the impression that you are trying to hide something or that you are some kind of a "fly by night" seller. The loss of revenue from serious bids that you will lose do not make up for the few dollars that you may potentially save by not refunding an occasional book.

| Always a good idea to disclose any writing or markings on the book in any grade. As far as the no return policy, I do not take any returns either. I try to give an accurate description as possible with an enlarged scan. I then state "Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding as all sales are final."

Pen marks and such are definitely things I would want disclosed as I avoid books like that. Also while I have never had to return something I don't deal with sellers with a no-return policy, I like my transactions to be worry free.

Although I think your grading covers the defects it's always a good idea to list any significant defects. Most people on Ebay don't really have a good grasp of grading so every little bit of info helps....D
