In hindsight, the price I paid was a reach and I thought it had a shot at a 5.5 hence my risk.
To the folks who would laugh/dismiss at even broaching a return, try to put yourself in my shoes. Again, I would not have asked for a return if the card came back less than expected and I'm not even asking for a full return. Also, I paid near comp for a 5 so it wasn't like the scenario was well under comp with a disclaimer that they aren't sure about the authenticity/ etc. of the card....

I get that it sucks. I actually paid more than double that for a raw card the seller told me he thought it would get a 3 for a grade. Like yours the only grade it would ever get is a A for authentic. I honestly think I was kinda scammed by the seller because he usually has very good pics. The ones he sent me was kinda out of focus and hid the paper loss and recoloring that was obvious in hand once I actually received the card. No guarantee was given or asked for so I took it as a semi expensive learning experience.
Saying that there is NO chance in hell I would ask for a refund or give one if I was the seller. The only exception was if there was an agreement from a regular customer/friend that a certain level of grade was guaranteed.
