eBay etiquette - card has crease

[icollectDCsports]

If you think the crease is a problem and will be unhappy owning the card, then go ahead and return it. You're not stealing from the seller, just returning it so he can re-sell it. Hopefully next time he'll mention the crease. Will be interesting to see if he does.

Eh, taking the guy at his word that he lost his dad, I don't want to argue any more over a small amount of $. I don't like his attitude, obviously, but he might understandably be in a bad place. Best to let it go - it's just a cheap card.

I completely understand that approach as well. I've declined to return some low-dollar eBay items, too, because it didn't seem worth the hassle. And I've also returned some because they just weren't as described and would be wasted money for me. But this seller is engaging in a commercial exercise using a worldwide platform and shouldn't guilt people like this. Like how is it that you're trying to make a buck off of him here if you simply want to return the card? Overall, however, you're right. It's not a lot of money so letting it go is reasonable though not fair to you.

This seller has a bad habit of whining about completely irrelevant details to the problem (whose cards they were, the initial bid, paranoid about you being a dealer, etc).

I'd ignore what he's saying and keep it simple. If you don't want the card, just open a return and send it back.

I assume with all the fakes selling on Ebay, the card was authentic. Its amazing how many fakes are being posted on Ebay and selling!! (the seller usually knows they aren't authentic but seem to skirt around the truth)

I posted a card being very plain in the description the card was a reproduction of some kind, not authentic , RP in the title etc. ! Ebay removed the listing saying it was against policy to list counterfeit cards--Hmmm??

I understand in this case the selling budging on a partial refund with all the shenanigans on Ebay, but would understand completely the buyer asking to return the item + shipping for a full refund. If thats not the case send in back as not as described.---or keep the card--
