If it were me, I would cave to the buyer's demands because he sounds completely unreasonable and will almost certainly lead to negative feedback, which could hurt the prices you get in future auctions. So be careful there...

I would also block that guy from bidding in the future.

In his defense, I will say that your listing is unclear and because you have the word trimmed below the Cobb card, he could have gotten confused. I would get that Cobb card outta there...

my question here is this about the question about the cobb picture,
does the heading say cobb or myers?

Default Hi Larry--

Your Buyer has a FBack of 6947!! Clearly he knows what he's doing & surely he has tried this ploy many times before. You owe him nothing!

I DO think, however, that "trimmed" should either be in the Title or at least a bit more prominent in your ever so brief & rather small type descpt. just to be a bit clearer & to avoid any confusion.

I don't agree with what the buyer is doing, let me make that clear. You asked what would I do, I gave my viewpoint. Tis' all.

The seller has a responsibility to list an item in a clear manner that should be free from question or confusion to buyers. The buyer has a responsibility to ask questions of the seller if the listing is not clear. Both parties failed in this respect. While " trimmed " is mentioned in the listing, it is hidden in the middle of the post, by the Cobb. The Cobb is trimmed? If trimmed was in the title this problem with the buyer likely does not exist. Sure timmed is in red, but so is half the listing. The listing never says the card for auction is what has been trimmed. The buyer should have been asking questions though. I would refund the buyer, and be clear in my listing to sell the item next time.
