Damaged poster
Damaged poster
My brother bought a movie poster on ebay for around $50 and when he received it, it was packaged in a crappy tube and sure enough, when the tube was openen, it was obvious the poster had damage. He contacted the seller, but he has yet to respond. What would be the next step to take?

The item is the property of the seller for the entire duration of the shipping process, so if it arrives damaged then it is the full responsibility of the seller to get you an item in the condition that you were expecting, or to give a complete refund of all associated fees--including shipping and taxes. Its not your responsibility to insure the seller's goods in transit.
Demand a replacement or a refund, and file with Paypal. If you used your credit card, initiate a charge back for failure to deliver.

If you have to send it back to him after the paypal claim you are responsible for those costs and it has to be trackable online.
If he is out when it turns up and then takes his time collecting it or does not sign for it within 10 days you do not get a refund and you have lost out on your goods as well. it is also your responsibility if it gets further damage on the way back to him......

make sure all of your communication is done through ebay or paypal so there's a record of it in their system
Re: Damaged poster
He just contacted him back saying to send the poster back for a refund. My bro said he was going to, but he usually takes a while to do anything. Oh well, if he waits too long, it's his loss. I'm tired of babysitting, lol. Thanks for all the tips though, I'll pass them on to him.
