borokat, I'd email the seller, describe the watch (in contrast to the listing) and ask for a partial refund for exactly the reason you state: you wouldn't have paid $97 for the watch had you known its actual condition. I'd probably be direct about how much of a refund I wanted.

What would you suggest that I ask off? I dont think I would have paid more than $75 for a watch that looked obviously used. Is that too high/low?

Imagine you saw it in a case in a consignment shop; how much would you pay ? (include the shipping in this too)

Borokat - I think saying you wouldn't have paid more than $75 is perfectly fine. I would also consider leaving neutral FB, even if she gives the refund - the listing was misleading. That's a big no-no in my eBay book.

I'm off tomorrow to check our P.O. box for donations--we'll see how that goes. Hey divasahm, whatever happened to your scholarship money? I hope you found the PO box overflowwing with money (I am so nosy sometimes)

That's a big no-no in my eBay book. Took the words right out of my mouth, with the added advice re: feedback. That's an excellent point -- a misleading listing is a very big no-no.

I hope you found the PO box overflowwing with money (I am so nosy sometimes) Funny you should ask... There were a lot of checks in the p.o. box, and as of tonight we have collected right at a thousand dollars, so I think the scholarship will end up being $750 and the rest will go toward the luncheon expenses. The PayPal option brought in about a third of the total proceeds, and everyone at our exec board meeting tonight felt that it was a good move and will bring in more in years to come. They were shocked at the amount of the service fee, though--they'd been led to believe that it would be higher and it's ended up less than a tenth of what we've spent in the past on paper invites and postage. So tomorrow I will transfer the funds into our bank account and deposit the checks I have. Thanks for everyone's input--it's been a great learning experience!

Oh, I wish that I had checked this thread before I replied to her!
I asked for $22 and she responded within a couple of hours and said she would refund me $22. I was so happy- that is what I would have paid second hand. I told her I would leave her a positive. But I am going to be honest and put that the item was not "Like New" and not as described, but there was good communication, fast shipping, and seller was willing to work with me.

That sounds like a perfect solution, borokat. Way to go!

I just bought a band t-shirt for 50 bucks. I blame it all on the rush of winning the auction! It is too addicting to not be outbid, but I really like the shirt. On the other hand, I ain't ebaying for a bit.
