Returning damaged item to seller....

Here is MY selling policy:

Example #1

You buy item from me and pay shipping. Your happy, then I am happy. Great. 

Example #2

 You buy item and item is damaged when it arrives. I refund your money AND pay return shipping.

Example #3

 You buy item but don't LIKE it. I provide full refund, but YOU pay return shipping.

Thank-you all for your responses.

Seller has yet to reply to 1/2 shipping offer. I will keep it in my garage until such time as he responds or my children throw it away after I am no longer here!

I would place the item back in the original damaged packaging and double box the whole thing in a larger, well-padded box. Plenty of photos and no opportunity for him to say it was not damaged on the way there (which hopefully PP knows by now).

PayPal has a free return shipping program if you're not satisfied with your item and paid with PayPal. Details are at the link below.

Basically you pay for the return shipping and then you file a claim with PayPal. I have used it many times and it does work great.

bugredmachine - that was what I intend to do.

srinisr - did not know that about PayPal, thanks!

Still no reply from seller on my offer to pay 1/2 for shipping.
