well NARK,

I've actually done that too - so best you work out my buying account and block me, eh?

I have had listings that say no scratches etc, but then the picture clearly shows scratches. In mnost cases, it is because the item has been scanned or taken with a jewellers camera through some magnifying glass (can't remember the term) both which magnify everything way more than the naked eye can see.

sometimes the seller hasn't seen the fault until bought to their attention and sometimes, maybe they just listed in the dark

Not every seller understands what kinds of faults are acceptable to be determined excellent

But here's the thing, when I'm looking at paying up to $50 postage for an item (or $110 on the other thing I collect) and I know that even if I will win a SNAD I will still be out of pocket for return postage of those amounts, I can promise you that I will ask all the questions that I feel necessary to reassure myself that the listing is correct.

And if my questions go unanswered *shrugs* no skin off my nose, I just find another....
