eBay etiquette - card has crease

No substantive information about the condition was provided in the description. No grade. But again - the crease was hidden in the photos, so relying on the photos was not adequate for disclosure.

Even if it was graded, the crease should be disclosed by any good seller. You are bidding on the card... not a grader's random opinion. I am shocked by the amount of lazy eBay sellers who say nothing at all about the card, except to give the TPG grade.

The hobby took a big turn for the worse, when this lazy reliance on TPG opinion became prevalent. I do not bid with sellers who simply tell you the assigned grade (which you can easily see for yourself anyway). What you cannot often see are surface wrinkles and creases that fail to show up in scans. It is in no way unreasonable to expect seller's to include the card's attributes in their description.

You can return it for ANY reason, graded or not. Based on the pushback you're getting, I would pursue a full refund, block him, and then move on.
