I have a different view (and realize I'm in the minority...)
I would just leave the negative for the sheer inconvenience and aggravation. This was something that should have been disclosed, and is (at best) an extremely neglegent oversight or (at worst) a blatant effort to mislead the buyer of the true condition.
The fact that multiple follow-up emails are now required, as well as a need to repackage the card and re-send it (while hoping for a refund) are a complete and needless waste of valuable time.
As someone who takes extra time and effort to describe items properly, I have a lot of disdain for this type of selling. The ebay feedback system has become a joke anyway, so duped buyers might as well provide honest disclosure. I certainly would not want to buy from him, and would appreciate seeing a negative in his record (which would help me to keep away...) Isn't that the point of the feedback, as Ebay originally intended it?
