<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 2067068, member: 5515"]Great question. In all my time I've been hunting for items online, I've only needed to return an item once for misrepresentation (it was an expensive purchase of gold items which the buyer misrepresented as they were phonies and paypal stepped in and allowed me to return for refund). </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, it's honorable to avoid asking for returns. I'm the one gambling, I'm the one who should keep the risk. If I get my guesses right, I get very valuable items. And if I get my guesses wrong, I lose a bit financially but I learn in the process. I'm very aware of the risks associated with my hunting online, and I'm totally good with them. So in a long winded answer, I won't be contacting the seller asking for anything, even if I thought I had a good chance at getting a refund or return. I'll figure out the best way to sell the tea set (listing it accurately as plated of course) and when my eyes tire of the beauty of the sugar bowl I'll sell it too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
