Should Seller Reimburse Buyer For Grading Fees?

Just to clear things up. The card sent back was not in a slab. It came back in a soft top loader with a label stating "Evidence of Trimming"

Well if it is a SGC flip you should be able to get it slabbed at no charge, PSA your out of luck.

Based on this and the other information you provided I think you are in the right as long as you are accepting of the resulting feedback. You certainly shouldn't have to pay for feeback but that is how ebay has left it for sellers these days.

It was a $30 card and the guy wanted it graded!? Give me a break! People waste more money getting cards graded than there worth to them.
The only winners are the grading companies! Give the guy his money back and be done with it. One red mark won't be the end of your card dealing days. And that's that!

Howard - I'm not sure what card it was, but I'm pretty sure Scott Susor would be interested in buying it.

I have never asked or a refund for grading services nor returned a card which ended up coming back from the grader as "authentic." I had 3 very nice E94s I bought in the last year, 2 from a major auction house and one from the BST which came back from SGC as "authentic" (trimmed) and simply kept them because a) the color variations of these cards are so tough and b) they didn't appear trimmed to the naked eye.
The only sad thing was I traded away a PSA 2 E94 when I bought the EX looking one from the BST. Oh well, you live and learn.
