well this is becoming a habit and seems to be the norm on ebay, buying things then having to return them out of the 3 coins that I bought 2 are on there way back, the first coin was a 2017 chin woo with milk spots and this the other 2018 PROOF70 DCAM,Theres nothing wrong with the coin but the slab itself is scratched its not a huge deal but its very distracting and in a place where you looking right at it in the grading field no one else would probably care to much about it and returning it is for sure going to be a hassle but if you pay good money for something either a $1 or $1,000 it needs to be right.
I dont have a problem with that at all, sending out damaged items or so called seconds, I will never buy from him again anyways.
I have sent in quite a few for re-holder over bad slabs. I think this is getting nit picky for a scuff over the label on an ASE and I'm fairly particular myself. I will agree though that slab condition is a thing these days. Re-holders are fairly cheap if piggy backing other submissions.
Most sellers fear retaliation in the negative feedback arena if theres a problem so this seller gave me my money back and was able to return it for free.
I wouldn't have been able to bring myself to do a return over a scuff that isn't even over the printed information on the label, never mind over the coin itself. But it is, as you say, your money.
No buyer wants a cracked slab. It is bad for preservation of the coin and it's just downright butt ugly. A slight scratch is one thing, but I've seen some really bad ones for sale. I would not buy one knowingly. I know I'm preaching to the choir, just chiming in. Generally we pay a premium for a graded slabbed coin and expect it to be right.
