Thanks for the responses, I really do always appreciate hearing more thoughts on things like this. I was considering filing a more formal grievance but I'm concerned all that would accomplish was forcing me to ship it back to them, presumably only refunding the cost of the item itself and not the original shipping charge, at which point I'd have spent probably close to the cost of the item itself in shipping only to receive nothing at all.

I think at this point I'd rather take it and move on, I don't know when I'll eventually find the chance to get one at a more reasonable price so I'd rather stay with this one than potentially end up loosing less money but having nothing at all to show for it.

I've heard good rumors from the Star Wars community about some car dashboard restoring products that can help force plasticizer back into a plastic, though I couldn't find much information on it other than a few demonstrations and this plastic is much softer. I'll have to share my results if it truly works.

The item arrived not as described and in (not just deteriorated but) deteriorating condition.  The seller himself acknowledges that this is an ongoing issue with these figures.

He tried to convince you that you were wrong when he therefore knew full well you were not.  He offered a $10 discount and you appreciate that?

Unless your taking that $10 constitutes some sort of contract that precludes otherwise, eBay will surely find in your favor and the seller is responsible for the cost of return shipping (You'd get the full cost including shipping back and my guess is that the seller won't even bother sending the prepaid shipping label and you'd be able to keep the figure as well (not that I believe you care/want it).  It's not my place to tell you what you should do, but you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by filing a claim.

I'm also one of those idealists who believes everyone has a responsibility to do this sort of thing to protect others from future incidents such as this.

Thank you Brett, I was worried but I absolutely trust your experience dealing with Ebay and I've filled a refund request.

I'm an infrequent buyer of yours, and I know you know a lot more about this than I ever would.

[brettnj]

Well now I'm nervous...  ;  )  But please let me knows what happens.

I'm reluctant to comment more before this really comes to anything, but he became extremely aggressive after I sent a claim for a return. He is flooding me with angry messages through Facebook and Ebay, so I thought I should double down on my original negative feedback left here.

I'm saving all of them of course should anyone be (fairly) skeptical and want to see, though I felt this was worth sharing immediately rather than waiting to see if Ebay is willing to step in.

I am really sorry you have had this experience since I encouraged you to buy your holy grail. Unfortunately I knew nothing about this seller. If he sends or posts anything threatening you should forward those notes to eBay and he could face a ban. Sounds like a real jerk.

This shows the seller's true character. 

All communication should be kept within the eBay messaging system so eBay will have it.  Send or link to anything else that might be helpful and certainly anything really inappropriate.  Hopefully you already made it very clear that the item arrived in a deteriorating condition and the seller knows this isn't unusual.  This is the basis for the refund.  But everything else helps.

If you are confident and well spoken, you might find a reason  (You're stressed by it and just want to ask if there's anything else you can/should do (Send the outside communication?) to support the claim...) to call eBay customer service to discuss the claim and often the reps will assure you in advance that it will be decided in your favor.

I'm sorry you're going through this but good for you for sticking up for yourself and calling the seller to task.  And you have nothing to lose. Good luck.

Don't be sorry, I was glad to have the opportunity to finally witness it in person at the very least.

Should've said this earlier but I sincerely recommend paintingdinos here on the board. Had one of my Carnegie Collection Tyrannosaurus repainted by her and had an excellent experience. Fair pricing, beautiful work, and regular updates made sure I'm going to be working with her for many projects to come.
