That's a totally reasonable position to take and to be honest, if I were the seller, I'd take the card back.

That said, just as a heads up, the Very Good condition isn't the same as a VG grade. eBay's condition categories are completely different than what we use to grade cards. Instead of Mint, Near Mint, EX, etc., their categories are: Brand New, Like New, Very Good, Good, and Acceptable. Why they use them for cards is beyond me - they're more for items like clothing, DVDs, etc.

Technically, calling a trimmed card Very Good, even by their standards, is probably still wrong. But it's just hard to prove that the seller knew it was as such.
