I bought a handbag off ebay in NWT condition for a great price (I once owned the same handbag a few years ago, so knew I already liked the bag). Well, it came yesterday, and I open it up and to my dismay, the leather was stiff and dry, with sections of the bag looking like they are about to start peeling, which is definitely not how the leather is supposed to look or feel.
The bag came with all of its tags and hardware still covered in plastic, so it is technically NWT, but the leather quality almost seems like a defect. The seller's listing included several photos, a stock description of the purse, and just a short note to: "Please, read the description carefully and look through the pictures, and ask me any questions you have before bidding." From the pictures the bag looked fine.
Needless to say, I am really unhappy with the leather on this bag but am unsure if this is grounds enough to request a refund from the seller. Can anyone weigh in? I don't want to be that annoying buyer asking for a refund and I don't think she intentionally misrepresented the bag, but the leather is really kind of awful and I would not have purchsed it if I had known its condition. Is it wrong to think that NWT means first quality?
Thanks in advance and stay warm!
