Question on ebay returns (after 30 days)

You have a point. I guess I'll just try and see where it ends up.

If I remember correctly, the listing probably didn't specifically say un-altered. Of course, it didn't say un-radioactive or un-soaked-in-cat-piss, but I'd hope the burden of disclosure would be on the seller....

Did the seller give it a grade, either numerical or otherwise? That might matter. For example, cards in "Poor" condition are still considered to be unaltered.

It was part of a small lot where the cards were described as NM/EXMT. I've contacted the seller and am waiting to hear back.

Just to be clear, I'm not here to vent or cast shade on the sellers (who, save one, haven't responded yet). Just trying to understand ebay's policy so I know where I stand when approaching them.

So how did you pay on eBay? Most credit card companies (or PayPal) have a 180-day return policy that applies to items you buy online as well. You might be better off going straight to the credit card company or PayPal if you used one of them to make the purchase.
PayPal may have just changed their policies on trading cards because of all the fraud recently, so your mileage may vary.

As long as you provide proof of the items as you claim not as described, the seller should understand its NOT buyers remorse and issue a full refund upon receipt--although not real sure who would be responsible for the return shipping cost beyond the 30 day window--something that could be worked out eBay recommendations--
