I believe in that situation the buyer could press the issue and get the refund since the card was unaltered and being returned in the same condition. Well known that eBay will usually side with the buyer in areas of dispute. Now, if the original holder was cracked out and put in a PSA plastic sleeve with that infamous AUTH? notation – I think the buyer is SOL.

I had a somewhat similar situation a few years back where the seller represented and sold a 1915 Cracker Jack as a 1914. PSA stabbed as a 1915, I never even thought to look at the slab that closely or the back. My bad. I sniped quickly, won, received, started to crack it out (because I thought it could possibly cross to a better grade) and then noticed it was a 1915 from the back of the card. Bitched but lost bcse I had cracked the slab - even though the seller clearly misled. Not exactly your hypothetical situation, but thought it related to some degree.
