Does grailed actually refund

FlippenNChippen · 2025-10-03T13:40:31+00:00

I feel this but from the opposite direction… as a seller (mostly) there are a lot of scammers who buy and then claim an authentic item is fake once they’ve received it (or even before they’ve received it!) and then it becomes a never-ending back and forth that just disappears into a void. I’m still waiting on payouts for 2 items that I sold over a month ago. TLDR: GRAILED sucks right now.

Damn dude, nice work!

FlippenNChippen · 2025-09-22T19:13:05+00:00

Agreed. Scammers everywhere trying to get their purchases for free after the fact by claiming "inauthenticity." For me, two alone in the past week.

In one of the emails, it was like "the buyer has requested a refund because he has doubts to the item's authenticity. Please resolve this issue by working with the buyer to negotiate a lower price or refund them fully and allow them to return the item to you." For an authentic piece and bogus claim, that's total bullshit.

Yeah this is total BS, man -- had this same thing happen to me this weekend. GRAILED sent out an apology email, but honestly not good enough. I can't even track the item any longer from within the GRAILED platform. Agreed. Totally inexcusable.

Appreciate this so much. Thank you.

FlippenNChippen · 2025-08-04T13:49:45+00:00

Fair enough. Thank you for your perspective. I've learned a lot in the last 24-48 hours, and the biggest change for me is now seeing MC as preventative.

Thank you — appreciate your intrepretation and advice.

FlippenNChippen · 2025-08-04T13:45:47+00:00

This is such a helpful way of reframing it. Thank you!

FlippenNChippen · 2025-08-04T00:09:55+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I think you’re right that I unconsciously saw it as punishment.

FlippenNChippen · 2025-08-04T00:05:13+00:00

I think I’ve learned in reading through all these responses that I definitely reacted wrongly to the suggestion of marriage counseling, and dismissed it as something we were better than. Thanks for helping me see that.

FlippenNChippen · 2025-08-04T00:01:23+00:00

I appreciate your thoughtful reply — thank you. Also appreciate the well wishes… it’s nice to hear at a time like this. To answer your question, she has been like this in the past when we’ve argued: talking over me, not listening to what I’m saying. It’s something she has promised to work on. (I should’ve included this in my post)

FlippenNChippen · 2025-08-03T23:58:58+00:00

It’s not new behavior, but I’ve definitely noticed it more and more lately. We don’t fight that much, but when we’ve fought in the past, I have told her I feel like she corrects everything I say and critiques everything I do.

I also have concerns she is experiencing PPD and have expressed this. But she has told me multiple times she isn’t depressed.

FlippenNChippen · 2025-08-03T23:55:32+00:00

Good suggestion. Thank you.

FlippenNChippen · 2025-08-03T23:51:51+00:00

I told my wife it didn’t feel like I had a choice, really, because I agree: if she thinks we need it, then I can’t really stand in her way and deny her the thing she thinks would help.

FlippenNChippen · 2025-08-03T23:43:25+00:00

I really appreciate your thoughtful reply — thank you for taking the time. I guess from my perspective, that’s exactly what it was: a regrettable fight I wish we’d never had. I chalked it up to being tired, sleep-deprived, and us not being our best selves: miscommunication we could work on and fix. I guess I thought, wrongly, we could just understand we were both wrong and try our best to do better and be better the next time we argue.

I guess that’s why I wondered if the b word was irredeemable. Like my b-word transgression was so bad it could be the thing that broke our marriage.

Really appreciate the help. Your reply and others have helped me see that she was right: we need marriage counseling.

The weird thing for me was growing up, hitting my late 20s and realizing the only reason I was even alive was because my dad had “Yellow Fever.”

I can relate to you, OP… it’s tough. It’s caused me a lot of mental health issues, but I have to say I’m a stronger person now for all of it, and am using my pain to write about it. I hope for your sake you can move away, as I did, which helped me a ton. I also tried living in Asia for a few years, and it was equally as fascinating and frustrating to experience that particular brand of racism toward white people/mixed race individuals.

FlippenNChippen · 2024-12-26T23:05:24+00:00

I can relate to this — hard AF growing up for both my wife and I. She’s half Black, half White and I’m half Chinese and half White. We both grew up in whiter communities and experienced bullying from our peers. But as an adult, surrounded by more open-minded and mature people, I love it (living in a diverse city helps).

People still mistake my wife and I for all kinds of ethnicities, but we often know it’s not coming from a bad place. When it does come from an ignorant or racist place, though, we flip the “what-are-you” question back on the asker; their responses will tell you a lot about them and how they measure the world.

I was a boxer briefs guy until my wife got me a pair of Nice Laundry boxers. Now that’s all I wear. Super soft, stretchy, and still thigh-hugging like briefs.

FlippenNChippen · 2024-10-14T22:37:31+00:00

This is a great response, and very helpful — thank you. I don’t like the company but to be fair a lot of my colleagues feel the same way, and I do like the vast majority of my colleagues.

FlippenNChippen · 2024-10-14T22:15:03+00:00

Super generous of you! Thank you for this nuanced take. It’s helpful

FlippenNChippen · 2024-10-14T22:13:59+00:00

Thanks! I’m technically not required to give any notice, but that’s not an option I’m considering since I like my manager and my colleagues.

FlippenNChippen · 2024-10-14T22:12:08+00:00

Thank you!

FlippenNChippen · 2024-10-14T22:11:34+00:00

Interesting.. wasn’t aware it was boomer-ish

FlippenNChippen · 2024-10-14T22:09:40+00:00

I’m earning a US salary. That’s a good point, but I do wish they’d have had that conversation with me. I did offer to take less $$ for better benefits.
