There is a contract between the shipper (seller) and the carrier. You, the receiver (buyer0 have no legal standing in a damage claim as far as the carrier is concerned. So, if the B***H*** seller chooses to not negotiate with the carrier for the damage claim then you, the buyer need to send for the lawyer or blow it off. It is not the $$ transfer agents responsibility. And, for the general information, the ability to just back charge the credit card did not exist until the federal fair credit laws. And we all pay for that with the 3% or so hidden in the price or a part of the fun or receiving payments through PayPal.
On another note, Just who was the seller of this trashed Columbia AS? Some bargain basement estate auction picker with eBay feedback in the thousands? Look at how fast the seller is accumulating feedback. It takes time to properly package something. And, most carriers will not cover real value loss on an antique. In simple terms, if you can not buy a new or recent production "like for like" you might have a problem.
