This will sound more harsh than it’s meant as I’m heading to work so I don’t have time to refine it, but that’s kind of not cool on your part. You know (since you just told us) and she knows (why she’s making a stink about it) the box isn’t the original. You know what original means to a collector. Just because the Ebay staff don’t doesn’t mean you should try to make her in the wrong on this.
From my experience, boxes matter to some people. She might not have bid on your auction if she knew there wasn’t a box. I don’t care about boxes, but when I’ve boughten collectible gifts off Ebay as presents (eg. Disney Classic Collections figurines for my sister in-law) I have passed on items without a box or bid higher on auctions when an original box was present.
True, but I have gotten…whats a nice way to put it…”the short straw” stuck to me from people in the past on small technicalities like this. So if one person is going to do it, its “fair game” so to speak.
I don’t think I understand. Unless you are basically saying (my interpretation of what I read) because someone did you wrong in the past, that it’s OK for you to wrong others from there on out. A mentality I completely disagree with. But I’m fine with letting the discussion drop to avoid an argument if that’s what you meant. And well, if that’s not what you meant, I’m still fine with letting it drop. =P I’m glad you both found a resolution to the transaction.
