So my first post here was asking for help authenticating a Williams autograph. Everyone was great in showing me all of the countless reasons why the ball was an absolute fake. I've returned the ball and the seller is now claiming that the ball was damaged in transit and as such is refusing to issue a refund. I've forwarded e-mails to ebay wherein he states that a refund would be issued once he received the ball. In my mind there is nothing stopping the seller from damaging the fake ball. Furthermore, can I be held responsible if USPS did indeed damage the ball? The purchase was through ebay and a case has been opened. I also provided theNet54 thread link wherein the ball was discussed to ebay. Do I stand a chance of being refunded? Has anyone been in this situation? Any advice for the newbie? As always, thank you all for your help.
