Quote: However, if I can somehow write a claim to Paypal in order to force him to refund me about 10$ in order for me to pay for the shipping to return the note to him, I would do it, but I have never done this so I'm not sure what Paypal would decide in this case.
It's pretty straightforward. I can understand (as a seller) no partial refunds, because that's often used as an excuse to get a better deal.
If you complain to epay/baYpaL, explaining your concerns about cost or not getting a refund, they will usually let you keep it AND refund all the money, including shipping.
Your specific complaint is SNAD - Significantly Not As Described. He advertised new and sent damaged.
let me help with the "problem" of damaged (5) DM notes. First of all, Mr. Hilmer is a highly recommended dealer in Germany. I bought a lot of times from him and never had problems. Now let`s face the problem: It was said that this damage was caused by counting machines. That is possible but not the whole truth. The main reason for this "damage" is the cutting process. If you put let`s say 50 sheets on another then the part of paper with the security strip is much bigger than the rest. If now comes the cutter from above, the parts of paper are cut normally but it takes a lot more power to cut the part with security strips. I hope my English is well enough to be understood... Now, if you have a banknote with a very slight damage, the note was on the upper sheets. If the damage is as severe as shown at the beginning of this topic, the note was on one of the lowest sheets. In Germany this belongs to the process of production, so these notes are still in UNC-condition.
Btw: This "problems" are still existing for Euro-banknotes
If I understand your explanation correctly, since it takes more power to cut the area where the security strip is, it causes it to sort of "bend" this area of the paper and thus creates a crease right where the cutting occurs ?
