I just bought a Coach bag on ebay in a style I used to own and regretted selling. It was described as in "VERY good used" condition. Seller said there were some scratches on leather which added to the patina. It just arrived, and there are dark marks on the front of the pocket where the colour is worn right off of the leather on both sides, giving it a dirty look. There are water stains on the bottom . i emailed the seller with my concerns. He replied the he "represented the bag accurately as stated that it was a used bag, in very good condition and that it did show signs of use including some marks and scratches. Because of this I did agree to sell the bag for $50 less than the buy it now price and waived the shipping fee and gave that for free."
There was no mention of any "marks" in his emails with me. There was no discussion of giving me a discounted price due to condition. I asked what he would accept, made that bid and he sold to me. Plus I paid $25 for shipping ! (and I have paypal receipt to prove it".
His position is that used is "used" ie buyer beware.
I will try and upload a photo of the marks. i can't clean it because the color is worn off the edges, not just a dirty mark.....
Do I have a leg to stand on with ebay or paypal?

you know, I personally never buy used white(ivory) bag on eBay. I don't trust any listing said "in very good condition"...
