Would you neg the seller?

[Kawika]

Shown is the seller's scan. Now that I look at it there is a faint trace of a crease to be seen. Description in its entirety: "John McGraw "You're a Knocker" image post card" followed by boilerplate asserting his impeccable reputation and accompanying b.s. No returns accepted.



This is the postcard I received. Well lookie here! Packed tightly between two pieces of cardboard that showed no creasing, bending, nothing - i.e., the card was not damaged in transit.



Do I neg the guy straightaway? An egregious bit of fraud on his part I would say, and isn't the whole point of feedback to keep the system honest? Or, do I be Mr. Nice Guy, email him politely as to the fact that he has given the appearance of being ever-so-slightly-less-than-impeccable, send him back the card and await a refund?

I don't like negging sellers. Have done so on only three occasions in over 2500 eBay transactions since 2001. I am plenty pissed off about this but thought I would count to ten and maybe accept the counsel of the wise galoots of Net54.
