eBay problems, resolutions, shenanigans, questions and info (not bike finds)

Ship it back or partial refund? What is the worth of a fairly used frame as compared to a NOS one? Anyone experience with this kind of thing? Paid with PayPal. No pal of mine, no sirree.

Have contacted seller with pictures, saying I am disappointed. Claims this counts as NOS in his book...

Partial refund is always the way to go and seller usually comply, however If PayPal decided the claim in buyer's favour, which they usually do, and you want to ship it back you'll be asked to pay the return shipping cost yourself (based on my past experience). So do mind that.
