One of my biggest frustrations in the world today is the lack of accountability people take for their own actions.
Buyer opens an old poster and it's damaged. How did he/she open it? Was there proper care taken? You opened it, own up to it and go "WTF, my bad."

Doesn't the seller have accountability too? Maybe it was stored improperly in a wet basement. Is that the buyers fault? If you buy a 1952 Topps unopened wax and the cards were all moldy from improper storage,are you going to just eat the loss? I wouldn't, the seller should be responsible.

If I sold someone an unopened 1952 Topps pack and that person took it upon themselves to open it, no way is it acceptable to expect a full refund for an unopened pack of cards you decided to open.
An unopened poster is unopened. There is no reasonable expectation for the seller to know the condition of something that has never been opened. Using the unopened pack as an example, would it be appropriate for a buyer of an unopened pack to expect a refund if they opened the pack and found the cards were off center? If the piece of gum inside the pack stained the top or bottom card? Last edited by packs; 02-05-2020 at 02:47 PM.

That's as much an assumption as anything else. Just my opinion but the seller sold a sealed poster and delivered a sealed poster. If the buyer wanted a poster it could see the condition of, there was probably an opportunity to buy one that wasn't sealed. By buying something you can't see, you are assuming the risk of what it turns out to be.

How much was it?
I didn't have many problems, and none on anything that was any decent amount of money. Most of the stuff I sold was cheap, and if the buyers were at all pleasant about things I'd usually just refund them and move on without asking for the item back. If they weren't nice about it, I did things differently. Each case was different, but I usually went with the easiest thing.

Unless there was obvious 'external circumstances' damage to it (obvious from the outside that it was damaged-- torn, dented, mildew, water damage) the item is sold "as is." The seller is not expected to be a savant or svengali, and the buyer is often buying an unopened box for the gamble.
However, eBay is eBay. They can and often are wrong, but have final say. Maybe it will happen that a buyer will want a refund because he didn't pull any 10s from an unopened box-- and perhaps eBay will give it to him. Last edited by drcy; 02-05-2020 at 03:27 PM.
