Compensation from seller,

[elite_brick]

How can I get compensation from an item I bought on eBay for $500? The item stated the stickers were in "good condition" but they are in an appalling state; when I asked the seller to cover the replacement cost for a new sticker sheet he is refusing. I want to keep this item but I also want some compensation to cover the cost to replace the stickers which are $124.22 at their cheapest and I asked the seller only for $80, he is refusing to acknowledge that he delivered me an item that was not as described, instead insisting that it is despite photographic evidence and quotes from his item's description.

This feedback I left finally after many messages we exchanged, this particular seller was extremely rude and disrespectful to me to the point when I had had enough. You shouldn't judge the situation when you don't know the full story.

I wasn't judging the situation, I was judging the one sentence you wrote for the feedback "DISGUSTING seller SCAMMED me with FALSE item description; AVOID AT ALL COSTS!" which sounds overly aggressive. It's your feedback, your choice, it's not against any ebay rules, but don't then expect the seller to be nice to you. As others have told you here, either keep the item and let it go or open an ebay case and return the item for a refund (if you win).

Boardies can only give opinions on the information available to us when a question is asked.

Feedback and Feedback Left for Others is part of that information.

If you are going to come to the boards for help it is probably best to do so before leaving feedback which does tend to limit your options.

The seller could probably have that feedback removed.....words like disgusting and scammer are not allowed in feedback.

Thank you for your input; Unfortunately, there are no "used" sticker sheets, they're new until the stickers are peeled off the sticker sheet, here is the source of the price for it: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=84713#T=S&C=0&O={"color":0,"iconly":0}

Yeah well thank you very much for your judgement over my feedback, mate. How I choose to describe the transaction is up to me and I simply expressed how I felt and warned others to stay away from this obnoxious seller's store so that this kind of thing doesn't happen to anyone else. Seriously, your input isn't helpful and you should probably stop there.

I have no resale in my eBay store...

it has been removed.

Edit: elite, did you pick up the item or was it posted to you?

Interesting point.  Listing quotes postage, but fb says quick pick up.

If it was pick up, surely all problems should have been noticed then.

yep, inspect at pickup, mention any discrepancies in the item listing description, negotiate on the spot.  No need for sending messages or photos if everything is sorted at time of pickup.

How can I get compensation from an item I bought on eBay for $500?

I’m confused about the price though.  The Opening Post says $500, but the listing says sold for $600.  Wondering if the price was negotiated down by $100 at pickup, OR, are they expecting compensation of $500?

elite, I am only raising these points so that we can get the full story.  It is always hard to offer advice when information has to be extracted or is provided in a trickle down fashion.

No need for that rant.

And your feedback is going to help no-one - it's gone.

I would expect that this is another buyer who thinks that a USED item is going to be in brand new, mint condition. Nowhere in the ad was mint condition mentioned. "Good" condition was and that generally means that its been played with and shows signs of wear and tear. Maybe the OP needs to read up on what the different "conditions" mean before unloading a heap of money.
