Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

A couple partial refunds I've given out over the years we're on me. I sold a 3P Megatron called Hegemon and the buyer said a piece was missing from the actual figure. It was a non-critical panel that I can't say was definitely there because I never transformed it and it wouldn't have been visible in my photos. I took a few bucks off. I sold a lot of Hasbro Mighty Muggs to a guy, but he was expecting the smaller Mini Mugg sized figures. The nice guy that I am offered a partial refund because I thought it could've been an honest mistake...also didn't want to take those back

Sold my Danhausen figures last week, got delivered over the weekend.

Got a message this morning from someone asking "Did you sell these???". Never spoke to this dickhead before, never discussed his potential interest, nothing. With that being the case, I opted to just...not respond. The guy who bought them got them, and that's that. Nothing further that this rando and I needed to discuss. Don't know if you are asking because you were interested, or if you are looking for how much I got because you're selling yours. Whatever the case may be, it's none of your business. Put two and two together. You don't see it, I either sold it or I took it down. Period, the end.

I get a follow-up email from him about half an hour ago that just says "????".

Alright, fucker.

"Oh, sh*t...I'm sorry, I was unaware I owed you a response. Yes, they sold" is all he got in response.

The fucking gall to act like you are owed an explanation. For something you didn't even buy. You're not my customer, you didn't give me money, we didn't have any sort of agreement.

The actual fuck?

The batarang is out for delivery today, so I'm hoping to hear something entertaining by tonight!

Why do I feel like you're goign to get a message telling you the batarang was scratched or imperfect in some way next.

"SCRAAAAATCH!"

"You scratched my batarang you know..." messages coming once a month for the next year.

In broad daylight, no less!

Tracking says it was delivered, but I've heard nothing as of yet...in all fairness, this dude has my return address, he could be on his way to beat the shit out of me as we speak. Make me look at his butt through a straw or something.

Making you play "Up Periscope" (Perineum-scope?) or else it's bad Ebay feedback on your head junior!

Plot twist: the tracking info yesterday said "delivered", but today it says it is at a processing facility about 2 hours from him, and it says it's been there since 6:30am yesterday. So I don't know why it said "delivered", and this is the only guy in this town I've ever shipped something to.

It's gone from funny to still-kinda-funny-but-borderline-concerning, because it shouldn't still be sitting at a UPS facility 36 hours later. With my luck, it will get lost and he'll still try to return the figure He has been provided the tracking number, he might have to call them and see what's up.
