I officially will never buy or sell pcbs that need to be shipped again!

Previously, I had bought a pcb on ebay and the guy poorly packed it and it broke in transit (so he said). I then went thru a 4 month hassle getting my money back.

Last week, I sold a Top Gunner pcb. I thoroughly packed it in a brand new, perfectly sized box. The buyer emailed me today and said the package looked like a monster truck had ran over it. The pcb has been bent horribly. I started a UPS claim, but I've heard the horror stories of trying to get them to fess up to breaking things.

Anyways, just wanted to vent a bit. Enjoy the pics, and remember, that box was crisp and brand new when it left my hands. ;)

It's hard to tel if the person is trying to lie to you and the PCB never worked to begin with or if it really was broken during shipping. I try to be there to test any electronics i buy that is used.

Regarding the one I bought, the guy claimed his mom shipped it. It was in an oversized box and the only packing material was...a single sheet of newspaper wrapped around the pcb. :laugh2:

It sounds like you bought from a kid who needs his mommy to ship stuff for him... if only you knew.  :P

Heh, I sent back the board at my cost in agreement that he would refund me. Well I never saw a refund. Finally, I saw him trying to sell the exact same board on ebay as "untested" a few months later. After I kindly pointed this out to him and mentioned I might be contacting his bidders, I suddenly saw a refund sitting in my paypal account. ;)
