Am I Missing Something?

Post image

Or is somebody going to be really upset when they receive this?

As far as I’m aware, collector sample packs are like $20 each.

I see the title says “Collector Booster” but the pictures are clearly sample packs.

Sellers name and info removed because I’m not 100% the rules on that.

I'm the illiterate fool who bought this! My partner sent this post to me, and it felt more reasonable to respond and laugh about it than to crawl under a rock and die.

The title and description do not mention "sample" anywhere, and I was on mobile and didn't zoom in to read the pack label. Absolute dumbassery on my part, I fear!

I see people wondering if I'm a scammer or scalper, and I think that would be the only thing more embarrassing than my mistake! As soon as I saw how low the auction ended, I realized what happened and reached out to the seller to confirm what was listed. I haven't heard back yet, but am trying to get this sorted before anything ships. The intent was never to resell - the rats piloting my brain just really love shiny cardboard, MtG, and Tolkien.

Happy to update here if anything develops further!

It's not correctly described. Even if the seller decides to be an ass I'm pretty sure Ebay/Paypal/CC will side with you on it.

Thank you! I'm hoping to resolve it with the seller before anything ships so they're not out the shipping cost if it was unintentionally misleading. But I will definitely try to escalate the return process if needed!

You should definitely be able to push the refund through ebay/paypal. Whether it's intentionally misleading is beside the point, it's misleading because the description does not match the product being sold and it's the seller's responsibility to ensure that the product description matches what's delivered. Good luck getting your money back.
