90% refund when you proved they had a misrepresented item?

There is no restocking fees when an error is made, even by who Steiner bought the item from.

I'd dispute my credit card for the full refund to be applied.

I agree! I believe anytime you error, whether your direct fault or not, as the seller, you should eat the cost, and not the person who made the purchase from you. I don't understand the 90% refund either.

Thanks so much for the kind words! It's great to be a part of the GUU community where we all look out for each other best interests.

JP.......Glad to hear you worked things out with Steiner, I apologize for not coming to you directly, I had no idea that was your bat on eBay.

Thanks, Bobby

I'm glad it worked out to your liking, but I personally think refunding 90% is a little insulting.

I wanted to give everyone an update on my dealings with Steiner. I contacted Steiner to explain that this item was mis-labeled by MLB and requested a full refund. Kevin from Steiner was very accomidating and understanding. I shipped the bat back and within 15 days, had a 90% refund. No explanation was given as to the amount of the refund. I felt satisfied and decided to quit while I was ahead.

Thank you to my friend Bobby for bringing this to my attention. Who would have thought that an item authenticated by MLB would have been so inaccurate! Again, thanks to Bobby, as I would never want to sell anything to anyone that is not 100% authentic. He is the best and I urge everyone to watch and learn from his posts.

Sincerely,

JP

Kinda scary that the MLB holo was off in this case. Guess you can't even trust that!

I questioned a bat that was listed in the database as a "Todd Helton Game Used Baseball Bat" because I checked MLB.TV and it didn't look like Helton used the bat in the game that was referenced. MLB Authentication responded, "We have talked with the authenticator and they have confirmed that the only info they have was that the bat was a Todd Helton model bat. They had no list of who used it."

Good job Bobby, crazy detective work... Too bad for the seller, wonder if Steiner will give a refund? It should be their responsibility to do so, but I can imagine it might not be easy (especially on a high end bat).

I was contacted by the seller and the item was taken down immediately and he will be taking directly to Steiner to get a refund.

Thanks,
Bobby
