I purchased this figure on Mercari, which is automatically processed by Buyee. I paid roughly $1,000 for it, after the item cost, plus shipping and tariffs.

The figure arrived today in a mangled box. My hope was that it was just the box, and that Buyee had the wherewithal to put the item in a box larger than the item itself, so there would be room for the box to be somewhat squished and not hurt what's inside. No. The box was barely larger than the box for the figure, with a tiny bit of packing paper and bubble wrap. Absolutely nothing to protect it at all.

I ordered the standard package from Buyee, and I've put in a claim. What are the chances they actually pay up, now that the box is dented and ripped?

I was discharged on March 27th as part of the current administration's ban on transgender service members.

I never received a DD-214.

I was promised six months of TAMP benefits, yet MilConnect doesn't let me sign up.

I applied for unemployment, but I was denied because my state (Maryland) claims I'm not a veteran, since I didn't complete my first six-year contract.

We were promised that we'd get to keep our enlistment bonus if we elected to VOLSEP, but my final LES had a $9,000 deduction for a recoupment of my enlistment bonus.

When I separated, VA.gov had an incorrect name on file for me. It took three attempts at contacting them to get them to fix the issue, and after the third attempt, they locked me out of my account, giving me an error that multiple DoDIDs were found for my name.

I contacted my former CoC, and it got me nowhere.

I contacted my congressmember. It got the login issue to VA.gov fixed, but none of the other issues have moved forward.

I contacted the Trans Representation Project at the NIMJ, and while the lawyer I've been speaking with has said she'd be helping me, I haven't seen anything materialize in the month plus since we initially spoke.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I'm in the middle of filing my VA claims, and my VSO is requesting a DD-214 I don't have. I'm unemployed, going to school full time. I can't use my GI bill because it was too late to apply them to the current term. Any more than a few months of this and I'm going to burn through what little savings I have and I'm going to be homeless.
