Hi BeenBurned, I did just accept the partial. Actually I offered to accept an amount that's a bit lower than what they offered because I felt bad they were supposedly "losing money". Sigh.

I still don't understand why they're going this way. My postage both ways would have been $35-40. The partial refund seller offered is about twice that, plus with a partial refund they won't get their eBay fees refunded, so that's another $20 lost. I don't know how they do their math. Anyway, I digress.

I'm just glad to have your reassurance that it is authentic. You helped me several times before too, so once again thank you!

If you're comfortable with the partial, since the seller is offering it, by all means accept her offer.

However if the condition is really an issue to you, there's nothing stopping you from filing a dispute. Be sure to include very clear pictures and description of why the item isn't "as described."

If the seller agrees to the return or if you need to escalate and ebay finds in your favor, she'll have to supply a prepaid shipping label for you to return the bag.

I think you're a bit confused as to why the seller offered the partial.

For SNAD complaints, the seller pays shipping in both directions so you wouldn't have been out anything at all had you returned due to "not as described." It's only in cases of buyer's remorse and when sellers have a return policy where buyers pay return shipping. But even in those cases, when an item is inaccurately described, sellers are responsible for shipping.

But again, if you're happy with the price you've paid, you did okay! Enjoy the bag!
 
Hi- picked this up at good will and was hoping someone could be so kind to authenticate! Can't seem to find another bucket bag that looks like this and isn't all weather .....thanks!
