Hmmmm

On brickbay you expect a bit more.

You take a chance wherever you buy.
My rule of thumb is this - if it's a lego buff, then you should know where
you stand - if they sell
lampshades, shoes or samurai swords then, ... well, they may not know what
WE mean
by 'complete', 'good condition' etc.,

On brickbay I don't expect an 8862 'boxed' where the 'box' has no innerds at
all !!
On ebay, well ...
What's complete? An 8865 with grey hubs ?! What do you do?
When quietly suggesting to the seller that they are not being quite
truthful,
they take umbrage and scream "I am NOT a liar!" etc.
But,  I have been lucky too - a MISB 6416 for c. $12. Did I complain or
shout? No sir.
So I say on brickbay there ought to be little room for misunderstanding - I
expect most
brickbay sellers are buyers too. Fudging over shipping is a bit
disingenuous.
Ebay is a different kettle of fish ... caveat emptor

Hey Y'all:

I had a recent hassle with a seller on Brickbay who sold me a yellow • castle
minifigure and some other bits that were not in the "Great Condition"
described.  I found the black visor on the minifigure to have been chewed
(ABC) and other obvious defects on other items, but I kept most of the • items
I ordered from this seller.  I told him I was sending some of the stuff • back
for a refund of the purchase price and the cost of mailing the stuff back • to
him.  Today, after a two week delay since receipt of the items (which is • not
that big a deal except to note that some of the stuff I sent back to him • is
now for auction on eBay -so he has time to arrange for those auctions but
not to refund me my $$$), he informs me that he can refund the purchase
price but not my shipping charges.  Now the shipping charges are not a big
deal, but as a matter of principle I don't see why I should have to pay
shipping twice because his item descriptions were less than accurate.

My question is this: who pays shipping on a return item?

Thanks in advance,
