You would think I would know better. I'm coming up on 13 years on eBay. I've bought and I've sold. For the most part the bad experiences I've had were mostly my fault. This is one of them.
I purchased an autographed picture. Now, it was one of those spur of the moment thing. I was searching for one thing and came across it. Not something I collect regularly, but something I'm not unfamiliar with. Relatively speaking it was inexpensive, $9.99. Well, I got it today. When I opened the package, it was horrible. It was ripped and smeared. I couldn't believe it. My first reaction was anger. Then I thought, there was no way a reputable seller would even try to pass this off as normal. Then I realized, I don't ever remember reading the small print (at the bottom of the listing). And I must not have taken a closer look at the photo (a well know movie scene). When I got home I checked the listing. Enlarging the photo, I could see the damage. And when I looked at the description, it was described.
My own fault, though I never even would have listed it. I'm not going to leave negative feedback, because it was my fault. I will contact the seller (he only has a 15 feedback), but I won’t ask for a refund.
Live and Learn. I guess this will happen 5 or 6 years. I’ve gotten so used to good service, I don’t always look to closely.
