Would you neg the seller?

[tiger8mush]

At least the "John McGraw Image PC $85" white circle sticker wasn't attached when u received the card

Anytime there is little/no description followed by "no returns", you have to be suspicious as a buyer.

If you want to keep the PC, then one idea is to leave neutral feedback with a very low "item description" score and a few words about his deceiving scans. If you want to return it, send him an email and see where it gets you. If he won't budge and doesn't see anything wrong with his deceiving scan, then maybe neg him and give low scores across the board.

Good luck, David!

I've had similar things happen to me before. What I've done is message the seller, and tell him that I'm very unhappy with the card because of so and so. Usually the seller will reply and say that he didn't realize that and will ask what needs to be done to make it right. Then I would usually give what I believe is a fair price for what should have been the card, and the seller would refund me the difference. If the seller doesn't respond or is hostile after you message him, I would neg him and give him low DSRs across the board.

David. I would most definitely try to work it out with the seller first, but make note to mention your displeasure in how you think the scan was tinkered with to look better than the item actually was. If then the seller gives you any grief go through the proper channels for a refund if your going to return it, or leave him the proper feedback, (possibly a neg) on your buying experience if your going to keep it regardless of it's flaws. Nice item by the way, creases or not.

As others have mentioned, I would email the seller to get his/her version of events. Perhaps something can be worked out to your satisfaction. Just keep in mind that the ebay sellers "ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS ACCEPTED" statement is worthless. You can get a full refund, if that is your desire (just make sure to send it back with delivery confirmation or if over $250 with signature confirmation).

Leaving a quick negative might give you some initial redemption. But over time, you will look at the postcard with some contempt and probably get rid of it on the B/S/T board for a 50% loss (email me first by the way).

Lovely Day...

Looks like he scanned it without the "Descreen", on and the green dot pattern of the print of the postcard was in turn exaggerated and camouflaged the creases in the process. Maybe even went through a default scanner correction program. I don't think it was manually airbrushed, otherwise he probably would have corrected the notch down near the bottom.

Not sure the purpose of the label on the front. He probably should have mentioned the creases in the description.

I'd ask for a refund and see what his response is.

I would try to work it out with the seller, but I am suspicious of a little photoshop work on the original scan. You can sort of see the crease along the a....

I would simply ask him to help you understand what happened?

Then, you can go from there. I would leave it open initially. You never know. One time I had a good board member accidentally send me the wrong, very scarce PCL card. I asked him about it and he had ANOTHER just like it but with no crease, which is what was pictured and what I based my buying decision on. He sent that one, I sent his other one back and all ended well. Ya' never know till ya ask.

I owned that postcard once (but I am NOT the seller on ebay). Here is my archived scan of it from last year. I think it was probably just the sellers scanner since the price sticker is on it, that means he scanned it inside the plastic sleeve and that layer of plastic probably messed with the resulting scan. Just my opinion, as I know the seller a little and he has never altered anything before (usually gets most stuff graded etc) and this is a pretty inexpensive item.
