[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1778392, member: 27832"]Okay, following up one of the points from the previous post: An eBay seller posts a coin with a blurry photo, with a BIN that would be high for a bad example of the coin, but very low for a good example. The listing specifies 14-day return privilege. 1) I buy the coin, and it turns out to be a great example, worth 5x what I paid. What are my ethical obligations? Do I need to send the seller more money? 2) I buy the coin, and it turns out to be a bad example, worth less than half what I paid. I choose to return the coin, according to the posted return policy. Is this unethical? 3) I choose to return the coin, and the seller puts up a fight, saying he won't accept returns unless he "sent the wrong item". Is this unethical? 4) The original auction specified eBay's 14-day return policy, which requires the seller to accept returns within that period for any reason, [I]including[/I] "the buyer changed his mind". In the text of the auction, the seller states that "returns are accepted only if item is not as described". Is this unethical?[/QUOTE]
