Apparently.
Or so tells me the seller who sold me a musty, basement-smelling book as “like new”.
It seems I should just spray some perfume on it and stop complaining.
Oh well, let’s see what Paypal has to say about it.
Is that what the seller said to you?? “spray some perfume on it…..” yeah, that will make it “like new”. :Sp
I’m wary of buying “new” books on eBay. My idea of “new” is not everyone else’s apparently. I bought a paperback book listed as “Brand New”. It had spine creases and looked like someone put a piece of paper on it and wrote their grocery list on the cover. I’m a perfectionist, I guess. I LOVE books, so I try to keep mine looking like they just left the publisher. I guess we don’t understand what a “new” book is. 😉Heh. Unless the book was published in a mildewy swamp, I’d say you’ve got a strong “Item not as described” case to take to Paypal. Good luck.
His argument is that the book picked up the smell in transit. *Snort!*
It takes more than 3 weeks to pick up that kind of smell! And I’d also like to know how a book packed in bubble wrap inside a thick cardboard box picked up a smell, while the cardboard packaging didn’t…
Then again, a smell is not something tangible that I can photograph, so it’s my word against his. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
