I think it's just the hazard of buying used items. I've bought some items that were pristine and I've bought some with damage that weren't reported (or noticed, possibly). The bad thing is that some items on here sell for big bucks and you can't just turn around and re-sell it if it came damaged.
I'm swallowing my pride on this one....it took me 3 weeks to receive anyway...lesson learned. Won't buy from that seller again and I'll probably just sell it for about half what I paid (disclosing the damage to the next buyer) just to recover some funds.
But as a buyer, everyone has to understand that used clothing isn't without fault. I think a lot of consumers are used to the customer service afforded to them by modern retail where you can take anything back and they'll refund your money and eat the loss.
It's tougher for people like us who are just privately selling a few pieces here and there to offer a fool-proof return policy.
Having said that, PM the seller and see what he has to say. He may be able to offer some kind of solution that is agreeable to both parties. Compromise is the name of the game when it comes to private deals.
