| If I packaged the Item improperly, or whatever caused the Damage , was
| clearly my fault, of Course. Why wouldnt I ?
|
| I didnt like the Fact that this Seller Actually WORKED For Fed ex, got a
| Discounted Rate, and did not know how to pack up a Monitor. She basicly
| admitted it was her fault, but would only recommend they pay me the
Shipping
| cost, plus what I bid for it on Ebay. The item was covered by Fed Ex for
up
| to $100.....so I dont see this as a problem at all as it had a Dollar
Value
| to me worth more than the Bidding price which is actually , believe it or
| not, why people buy on Ebay to begin with. If Someone buys a TV with a
| broken control Button on Ebay and Recieves the Item with the Case all
busted
| up because of Improper Packing, the Buyer ought to be compensated -
period.
| Its not their Fault the ITEM was damaged in shipping, and if they are
pissed
| off, and ask for compensation under the $100 coverage on all their
| shipments, what the heck is wrong with that? In their View, this was a
Scam.
