(For exmaple, I have come across about dozen copies of the #117 Geiger GT that are short both ways). So based on your knowledge of 62 GTs, coupled with what you saw in the scan, and most importantly based on all of your past experiences with the less than truthful sellers you constantly seem to encounter, why would you just not use your browser's back button, move on, and save yourself all of this dramatic frustration??
I agree with you there are some less than credible sellers out there, but I avoid them like the plague(like others mentioned, I rely on the scans to assist my decision to buy or not buy)....thus, 95% of my transactions I am happy with.
I buy a lot more on ebay than what I sell....however, the few concerns I have had from buyers almost always stem from them either not reading the description AND/OR not looking at the scan. Despite the fact that I feel that a buyer who does not read the description or look at the scan should own their mistake, I gladly accept the card(s) back per ebay's return policy.

Hey.
Well, this happened a little bit of a while back, so I wasn't as well-versed with the GT's yet. The main problem was it seemed like something was off, but it wasn't blatantly obvious. That's why I asked him the question I did. When all was said and done, the reason the card looked pretty much right was because he trimmed it both ways, so it still looked proportionately correct. Know what I mean?
And I haven't run into GT's that are short of spec. Granted, I haven't measured all of mine with a ruler, but I was completely unaware that was even a problem. It hasn't been with me. This guy told me he measured it and assured me it was right. Then he turned around and claimed I trimmed it. Just a complete d-uchebag.
