I got ripped off, and I don't even want to look at the figure even though it's really good because it reminds me I got made a fool because of it.

What figure? How much did you over pay? Under what conditions did this occur?

Try to exact petty and indirect revenge if possible. For example; a seller on ebay cancelled a listing when no-one but me bid on the item. He lied about it saying he meant to cancel but had a family emergency, then reposted the item immediately for auction. It was the blatant disrespect that got me really.

I made a burner ebay account and proceeded to aggressively bid on the item. Of course Id default on the payment after a week but for whatever reason ebay never banned me from continually bidding and committing to buy on on all of his ebay items. The messages from him became more and more frantic but I never responded, even after bidding on his listings made on a new account. Eventually I messaged him back letting him know I had intended to pay but had a family emergency.

Otherwise let it go and learn not to make the same mistakes.

This guy is right. You saw the pics. You saw how the joints were set up. How can you even blame the company when it's clear as day how it will move and function based on all the pics?

I guess I've been pretty lucky in this hobby, because I can't really remember ever being ripped off. The closest was getting a P5 Joker figma a few years back that was described as NIB that seemed to be repackaged, though the price and condition were good enough that I didn't have much room to complain.

You don't get over getting "ripped off." It's what keeps you from getting ripped off in the future. If you never learn from your mistakes, then you deserve everything you get.

I don't think I've ever been ripped off. I've had sellers not ship, or do a shit job packaging and receive broken toys but I always get my money back. Most sites are prone to side with the seller and when I'm the seller I document my packing methods and get my shit dropped off promptly. I've only had two buyers in my 20 years selling shit online try to scam me and in both cases I had video evidence of the toy working before I packaged and sent it and eBay sided with me both times.
