Trust me... He'll get his money back. I've been on Ebay the past 16 years (holy cow...) as both an active buyer and seller, and I've seen all the power be transferred to buyers these past few years. The jersey was listed in the Game Used section, plus it was also listed as game used in the title AND description. If the buyer is under the opinion that the jersey is indeed not game used, all he has to do is file a claim as "item not as described."

It's not even necessary to prove the jersey was NOT game used. If the buyer is unhappy for any reason, be gets his money back.

Viola.

Part of me really disagrees with this theory. Not trying to offended anybody, but let's put it on the table and deal with it.

The guy goes and does some homework on the jersey, and decides to drop $500 on the jersey.

He comes here, asking "what do I have" , obviously hoping to hear he found this golden goose "incorrectly listed".

One of the most prominent and respected guys here explains how it's not real, he gets defensive with reasons it still must be.

He then concedes with the respectful "should have done more homework, took a chance". Which by all means is the difficult but correct way to deal with it.

Now, however he can discuss get a refund? On a jersey that's clearly listed, photographed and described?

I'm sorry but he knew what he was buying and admittedly hoped to get one over on what could be a under educated seller.

So if the jersey was real, worth 6-8K and he scores it for the $500 then what? The seller doesn't have this ability to unconditionally demand his jersey back with a purchase price refund.

Something I just don't like about trying to take advantage of somebody, having it backfire and then washing your hands of the situation scott-free by overpowering refund policies.

I hear ya. As a Power Seller (x2) and Top-Rated Seller (x2) on Ebay, I know what it's like to dance with a pro-buyer system. Thankfully, my returns are personally few and far between. But I accepted a long time ago the fact that buyers can return anything they buy, for any reason they wish. It's the cost of doing business on the Ebay platform, and it is only going to get easier for buyers to return items this upcoming year.
