I bought a pair of Kistler rods from a gentleman on BBC, I received then in a bent cardboard tube and both rods broken. Post office said I can file a claim, but the seller only insured them for $100. I paid a lot more then that, and I paid thru PayPal. So what would y'all do in this situation ??

I had that happen to me once when I sold a guy a rod off BBC. I only had $50 insurance on them so we agreed that I would pay for Dobyns to replace the rod. Not sure how Kistler does their warranty stuff, but I would first see if the guy will pay for what ever warranty fee Kistler will charge for replacement. If he doesn't want to pay for the rods to be fixed you can file a claim with pay pal so long as the payment was sent as "goods and services" if you sent as "friends and family" (to avoid the fee). You cannot open a claim to get your money back.
Hope this helps

Show the seller and explain it, have him file the claim (especially since he only insured for $100), get your money back from paypal if you have to.

I would ask him for a refund first, if he refuses, then I would file a claim with PayPal to get your money back and let him deal with the shipping insurance to recoup some of his money. He should have purchased the right amount of insurance to cover the shipment.

You paid for 2 unbroken rods. You did not pack and ship them. This is out of your control as a buyer and thecrest falls hack on the seller. He needs to refund you ASAP. It's his mess to correct. You should be out nothing.

Get a dowel rod that fits securely inside the rods cut about a foot long and epoxy glue the dowel rod inside the rod pieces wipe off excess epoxy at connection. When you are done nobody knows but you that they where broke. You loose a small amount of rod action but at least you still get to use your new rods. Really?

Takes a serious amount of pressure to bend one of those tubes. I received a brand new one like that before though and thank goodness it wasnt broken. Made me sweat for a minute though.
