i would say ---- that guy the first time he started with an attitude. name calling is childish and he did not insure it. the only time its ok to not insure something is when its really sturdy like a manifold or something like that when it wont crack or break from shitty handling

You sound like a good man. there are not to many of us out there. But I wouldn't feel bad for this guy. Its his problem not yours.

I think it's the shipper who's to blame

I wouldn't worry about it, this guy obviously fucked up and knows it. He is basically trying to get you to fix his mistake. I say too bad for him...

make sure you explain to paypal everything like it was theres a chance you will win

i dont know, its his fault for not insuring it but maybe u could (next time) ensure that the shipper knows that it can be damaged easly and make sure it gets packed better.

international shipping w/o insurance on a fragile part....he's a ------- tard.

Was the packaging damaged?

this kind leaps out...

" i paid my shipper to box the flap and hold on to it till the buyer's company picked it up."

if he had paid for the boxing or packing... the its his problem.. but since you were responsible for the packing... its really a tough call
i hope it gets resolved

he finally stopped emailing me. all is well now.

thanks for all of the input though. i really dont feel bad. i still cant believe he didnt insure it

case closed dont do ne thing
