Too much lawyer speak here for me, so will say this. I factor in my bid with the shipping prices in mind.

If the card does not meet description, or if the seller offers no description, and creases or some such are not apparent in the photo but are obvious when the card is in hand, the grade is nowhere close, etc, I decide to either return or eat the card. If I eat the card, and the transaction is blatently misleading, the seller gets a neg. If I eat the card, but the card is marginal, ie, VG vs Ex, the decision is described in comments with a neutral. Having never returned a card, I keep all this in mind during my buying decision.

If shipping is described to justify a price, and the seller does not do as described, the seller gets a neg. No hesitation. I've done that twice in twelve years.

Cheat me, you get a neg. Mislead, you get a ding. The seller or eBay does not make that decision, I do.
