Do I have a right to be upset?

I won an eBay auction last week for a lot of three Travis Lee cards. I won the auction for $0.99 with Free Shipping. Hopefully the pictures are big enough that you can see that the cards are pictured in screw down cases and the descriptions states, "all three cards are in screw down cases...".

The cards arrived today in a plain white envelope.... in top loaders.... with no penny sleeves. Since I only paid $0.99 do I have a right to be upset that the item was not as described?

Honestly I'm a little upset and while I left the seller positive feedback, I only gave one star for item description. I sell on eBay and I never put a starting bid that I can't accept. If the seller didn't feel like $0.99 was enough then they should not have listed that as the starting bid. Just curious what everyone else thinks about this subject.

  1. Every right to be upset. Should get what was described, no matter the winning bid.

  2. Yes, you should be upset. I would have contacted the seller before giving any kind of feedback.

  3. Were you looking for Travis Lee cards or screw downs?

    I would contact the seller and see what he or she has to say.

  4. You have every right to be upset. The seller didn't provide the item as described. I would have contacted the seller also.

  5. Right now I am dealing with a seller who didn't like the final price on a few cards I bought, so he just decided not to send them and relisted them a little while later without refunding my money. If the listing says the cards are in screwdown cases, then they are part of the auction and you have every right to complain.

  6. Personally I wouldn't care but then again anytime I get a screwdown for some reason I throw the thing away.

  8. Dude should have taken them out of the screwdowns before taking the pic if he wanted to ship in a PWE.

  9. How the heck can you send out a PWE? IN all of my auctions it's always a bubble mailer and additional protection. That's why my rep on EBAY speaks for itself. SATISFIED CUSTOMERS! If the guy said, "Screwdowns included" then he should've included them otherwise he mislead you and I would file a complaint.

  10. I'd demand that he send you the screwdowns or I'd leave him negative feedback. As you said, it was his choice to start his auction at 99 cents. Not your fault no one else bid.

  11. Item NOT AS DESCRIBED. When a seller lists something with FREE SHIPPING that doesn't mean ship in PWE w/ little to no protection. At least he used toploaders, but he advertised screwdowns (which do not fit in PWEs). It could have been much worse he could have shoved all three cards into a single card "saver" and taped it shut.

    The other day I received some cards from sportlots 4 cards (3 of which were original 1975 Topps minis) total 2 auctions. Shipping cost me $1.70 was sent in a PWE all 4 cards in a single card "saver" that was TAPED closed Sure each auction was in a penny sleeve 1 card in one sleeve the 3 minis in the other, BUT the tape on the "saver" opening was touching/attached to the top mini card. FORTUNATELY I was able to remove the tape SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY off of the card without damaging it, but the tape very well could have "glued" itself to the card. I gave the guy "Neutral" feedback and in the comments said "Poor packaging PWE with card saver TAPED closed".

  12. I think I have a couple screwdowns that I didn't pitch yet. Do you want them? I'm going to the bobblehead game Saturday if you are going, and want them, email me and I will bring them with me.
