Ebay whoopsie for a seasoned buyer. Opinions please.

I'd say yes, because the item specifics clearly says that PSA was the professional grader (even if the description says "should grade a 4"). There is no doubt that the item specifics and description conflict.

[Cozumeleno]

Agree with Marc - he does clearly state it should get a 4 but you cannot state that PSA is the official grader in the Item Specifics section if they have not graded it.

[ibuysportsephemera]

100% Yes! The ad is very deceiving and the photos give the impression that it is slabbed.

On the other hand...you should probably have clarified if it was actually graded so you wouldn't be dealing with this now.

I would say yes although the price isn't bad for the card itself. May not be worth the hassle for the difference. Live and learn..... need to see that PSA sticker in the ad!

Agreed...I feel like such a fool....looking back now, it is obvious it was not graded........a late night buying spree cost me.

Using PSA in the auction title for the keyword benefits, if the card is not graded by PSA, should be a listing violation, IMO.

On the flipside, a buyer who doesn't view the photos carefully and reads the description fully is guilt of contributory negligence.

title - 100% misleading, putting PSA as grading company -misleading

Picture - pretty clear and description even clearer.

So, I think you have legitimate grounds for return, but certainly have a degree of accountability. For $25, probably just live and learn.

I'll take it off your hands for $20.50 in a PWE then its only a $5 mistake

[Rhotchkiss]

100%. The title is completely false advertising.

[mintacular]

Technically you should be able to get a refund and in some ways "deserve" a refund due to the title..... However, because the further description is correct maybe you should chalk it up as "lesson learned". I guess it's a matter of how much energy/time you want to devote getting a few bucks back....

On the matter of principle though I do think you are justified to request a refund....

[Republicaninmass]

I've had people return stuff for stupid reasons, so I'd say the seller should learn a lesson IF he pays for return shipping

Stephen...if you want the card, it's yours.....It's NOT a PSA 4 though....more like a 1....2 at the most.

[bounce]

There's nothing to argue about here. It says PSA 4 in the title, not "should grade" a PSA 4.

This is a clear case of keyword abuse in the title.

If you don't want it, return it. It's not as described.

And I'm not sure that card would grade a 4 anyway.

I agree, although that seller was clearly trying to deceive potential customers. A return is justified but I probably wouldn't bother.

Rookie mistake but everyone has to take a mulligan occasionally. You can ask for a return but if it fails, it's not terrible to walk away knowing it was really only about a 7 dollar lesson.

Justin is 100% right....the seller accepted a return, but in the grand scheme of things what did I really lose?? Paying $20 for a $13-$15 card?? I'm not gonna hassle with it.
