i would refund. as a seller i don't hide behind ebay's 45 day protection policy. if a card or autograph i sold comes back trimmed/not authentic i would refund whenever.

I disagree. With that much time that has gone by you have no idea or should be in any way responsible for that card. Just as there are bad sellers, there are bad buyers. Not inferring anything in this situation as I have zero clue...but after a year he owns that card and anything/everything that could have happened to it under his ownership. Who is to day he didn't trim it himself for a better shot at a better grade? The seller has no idea whatsoever. If a buyer can't decide he made a good purchase after 45 fricken days, c'mon. Had it been within the 45 days...and legit...full refund.

This^

Completely agree, you have no idea after all of this time if the "trim" job was done under his watch. Too many unknowns after an entire year.

I couldn't agree more. A few months, I could understand but a year is ridiculous. Just my 2¢.

Maybe you could ask for a scan of the card he would like to return? I think that might help you decide.

I can understand why many would not, but me, I'd refund it.

I've got a stack of ungraded cards. If I submitted them and had one come back as trimmed, assuming I had records of the transaction, I'd ask for a refund too. The length of time passed wouldn't be a factor, just the condition of the card.

For those citing the amount of time that has passed, if the parties involved were an auction house and you, would you still say that too much time has gone by?

Yes.

1 yr--a raw card= ridiculous request.

I couldn't even be sure I hadn't mixed the card up w/ another one in that length of time!
