The other issue with Battersbox and many LARGE sellers.....on lower grade stuff they don't spend an inordinate amount of time inspecting the stuff when they're listing it. They do a cursory look. I can only see a little black mark on the back side of that card in the border that looks like it COULD be an ink mark or it could just as easily be a print mark too. Also remember the graders aren't infallible as well. I don't play the registry game but I'm assuming you're trying to buy something described as VG or VGEX and hit an EX in this case? A $30-$40 card, grading at $8-$10 and try to get it to a $60-$70 card? As for the 53 card, flatbed scanning can hide some stuff obviously. It looked like a low grade card to begin with but hard to get on you about that one.
I think you're skewering them about their return policy but it worked 100% of the time. You returned 4 cards which, in dollar terms, represented 40-50% of your $1600 gross buy. They made a business decision to block you from bidding. Maybe that's just an automatic thing after four returns from a single buyer. Have you called or emailed them to see what their excuse is?
