I really know what you are talking about!. I buy lots of Mulberry on ebay and recently the 'Significanctly Not As Describeds' has been getting noticeably worse. Items described as 'mint' turning up looking like they've been dug up from the garden, 'as-new' actually translating into worn and stained half-to-death. Its really shocking how some people can either be completely blind or just deviant. Its been driving me mad recently and, to be honest, making me underbid on most stuff from 'non-known' sellers as I'm just too wary of what I'm going to end up with. I spoke to ebay about it and they said it was the recession thing again...that people aren't being quite as truthful as they might, so as to get a better price. Most SNADs I've opened have been honoured without question by ebay but its costing me an arm and a leg in return postage costs. Its really bad.
Definately go for the SNAD and representative feedback, Its NOT on.
