You started your post by finding fault with the seller then ended by saying blaming the seller is out of line. In this particular transaction, there is plenty of blame to go around - Beckett for setting up the system, the seller for taking advantage of it and the buyer for dropping $8k on a card and not bothering to look at the back.

To your point that the card is clearly listed as good or better, it's also listed (in large font) as a "6." In every other grading system and even Beckett's normal system, 6 means EX-NM. Proving the point is that clearly the buyer didn't notice the grade description and just bought based on it being a "6." Again, plenty of blame to go around on this one.
