JohnWaited too long no refund for you!
All kidding aside I think you have been more than fair. This is the problem I have with the hobby since the advent of grading companies. As a buyer of cards buyers should educate themselves on the material they are planning to purchase. A buyer must take some responsibility regarding their purchase, which means buying un-graded cards for a fraction of the price of a graded example and expecting no surprises is just plain silly.
I’m also a firm believer that grading companies make mistakes, sometimes the seller is correct and in fact cards may not be altered, and that the seller has every right not to offer refunds based on third party opinions, which in many ways is exactly what it is an opinion.
