Bold-Arrow Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm not following your train of thoughts but basically they are saying you can't use free 2 day shipping for any reselling activity as it will cost Amazon a lot of money and that's not what prime is designed for . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego_Monsters Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Someone just opened an A-Z claim on my TOO sale. Bought shipping via eBay because the shipping was cheaper with FedEx. No signature but the tracking shows delivered. Am I screwed? I replied to the claim by saying the tracking shows delivered. What can I do?

What can I do? Does "TOO" mean Tower of Orthanc? Did the buyer say the item was never delivered? How did you buy shipping via eBay for an Amazon sale?

How did you buy shipping via eBay for an Amazon sale? yes TOO is tower of orthanc. once i wanted to send an item on amazon using super cheap fedex smartpost (which amazon doesn't offer) so i tried this once. it was ugly. i bought shipping under a 3 week old ebay listing i sold for another item that had ended where the item was already received and got good feedback, clicked on the send another package, change the address put in the amazon address, print the shipping label. its very cumbersome and for me not worth the extra mile to get burned by smartpost which is the only reason i can think why anyone would do this. you can't do a signature with smartpost and without a signature, you are screwed.

Status just shows delivered. 2 hours ago, Jackson said: Does "TOO" mean Tower of Orthanc? Did the buyer say the item was never delivered? How did you buy shipping via eBay for an Amazon sale? Yes Tower of Orth. The buyer didn't say anything, just woke up this morning with an A-Z claim email. Just go to any order on my ebay orders and change the shipping address and buy the shipping label. Fedex on ebay was $25 vs $39 on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did this so many times and never got any problems, just this one...they claimed A-Z, the seller's name and the actual name on the shipping address is different though, not sure if that matters, heard people said that these are usually scams. 1 hour ago, Jackson said: I mean...one can buy shipping labels through PayPal.

BrickLegacy Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 99% chance you were scammed. Hopefully Amazon sides with you on the INR claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sucks, I'm removing all the expensive sets on Amazon or priced some of them higher to just pay for the more expensive shipping cost and signatures + insurance.

Amazon has become very treacherous for lego resellers. If someone wants a free set they can say it was not delivered or it's fake. I'm done selling sets over $100 there until something changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Not sure, I wondered if USPS, Fedex, UPS will reimburse even if the status shows "delivered". Can anyone confirm?Not much of a chance. The safest bet is FBA, but I'd still caution against selling higher priced sets there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm?I would imagine the police should get involved if you have insurance and it shows delivered. At least I would strongly threaten that and inquire at whatever is the most local precinct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyclin Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 One Amazon buyer purchased Lego 10234 recently and the package arrived in good condition, stating that the buyer heard there was "rolling sound" in the box concerning the bags "broke" and loose bricks coming out inside the box, the buyer also further raised the concern that the seals were tempered with (the set was purchased from Lego store, specifically selected for good condition box). And the buyer took pictures of all six seals, which surely indicated the seals were not tempered with. The buyer stated that he or she is also a collector/reseller and it would be a big problem that the bags break inside (based on the "rolling sound" because the buyer compared this set with other collections, other sets DO NOT make that sound). The buyer stated that it is not "custom friendly" that I don't refund or partial refund if the buyer finds the bags break and wants to return because the buyer thinks about opening the seal to check inside. The buyer also suggests an option that I send the replacement set without "rolling sound" at my own expense and the buyer returns the set at my own expense. What would you do in this situation? PS: Val-E member suggests better present this to Amazon before going into dealing with the buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
