Here is the other mug that she bought:

Hope the link works? In any case a few things sort of stand out when I look at your auction listing. One this was a no reserve auction and you did not qualify yourself as an expert. Someone who posted before indicated that you have no return policy. Obviously two lessons learned so far; adequate description of your findings as a non-expert and a return policy!

What really sticks out though to me is that your pictures are clear the information is appropriate and that you were fair and didn't inflate the price because you knew that these were rare mugs. To imply that you would purposely mislead is a bit ludicrous?

We all have been the victim of the mint item but you never said these were mint and you also said you didn't even wash them. I don't spend this kind of money on stuff I can't see & touch. Maybe she needs to learn to understand that the feeding frenzy bidding although good for the seller leaves the buyer open to "bidding blindness". Or e-Bay greed as I like to call it. I want to win at any cost is what she regrets most likely.

As to returning her money before the item is returned sounds like someone over-spent on their allowance.

In any case the disclaimer on e-Bay should be: look carefully read well and ask questions because if you bid to buy it's a commitment.

So now after all that long winded stuff you did fine she's a bit out there I think.
