Marketplace
I bought (not from popcultcha, just using them to show the figure) this Jason Vorhees (but from a random eBay seller) as a Christmas gift for a friend who is a collector and a big fan of Jason Voorhees movies. Part of the attraction is the cool display packaging with a 3D effect on the cover.
Unfortunately, it arrived with deep scratches all over the front. I contacted the seller, sent through pics (hard to see the scratches in photos but they are easily visible in person and some rather deep) and they said "All box are in similar condition. They all packed in one single box, hard to prevent the scratch on the box." The listing doesn't state damage to the packaging and in fact states "deluxe" packaging….
I don't know if it's BS or I should just accept it. I don't want my friend to be disappointed…
Anyone have experience buying action figures from eBay? Is it pretty common for them to arrive with packaging scratched up?
This is the first time for me and it's pretty disappointing so far.
If you can find a replacement in better condition for same price, i would cancel and ask for refund. Otherwise use your own digression. I sell collectables on my ebay account alot and make sure they are handle with the upmost care and packaged correctly. Afterall they are collectables..
