Should I report this guy to ebay?

[quote name='Cleaner7']I agree with this suggestion. Just get a refund and leave him the positive feedback w/ a note about it being a smoking home. Maybe this will help the seller specify this in future auctions to avoid future issues. Additional information doesn't hurt. At the end of the day, both should take this as a lesson earned.

Also, if you ever have issues, remain calm and be polite because rudeness never helps the situation. Again, another lesson learned.[/quote]Cleaner has it.

If it's such a big deal, return it. The seller erred in not mentioning the smoke smell (or considering that the smoke smell would affect the condition of the game). He'll know better from now on.

If OP, you desire to report the guy, eBay is going to be impressed with the Seller's side of things, not yours. He contacted you in a friendly manner about feedback. You replied with an attitude, as opposed to a more appropriate reply: "I've refrained from leaving positive feedback as I'm not a smoker and I find the smell of the game offensive. How may I return this to you for a refund?" The seller has been professional through the scenario, despite his mistake BUT he is up front and willing to correct the situation.

Why you're considering reporting him is beyond my comprehension. Aside, of course, from the possibility of your wanting to whine about how your vocabulary isn't considered acceptable within eBays terms and conditions. In which case I suggest you learn to communicate maturely.
 
Notice how the op hadn't posted since about 2 pages ago?


The dryer sheet is a good idea.

To the op. You realize that everytime you take a shit it stinks yet, hopefully, you house doesn't smell like shit.! Get over yourself. Did you buy the game to smell it? I don't like my game smelling like smoke either but just fan it out for a few minutes and let it sit out for a few days. Big deal over small shit. Thumbs down to you.
 
[quote name='yukine']If he listed it as coming from a smoke free home, then absolutely give him a negative or maybe just a neutral.

Otherwise, since when does "Excellent Condition" pertain to smell? I think you're being a drama queen more than anything.[/QUOTE]

It's nice to see sensibility on these forums, really. ;-)
 
The seller was honest with you when you asked and more than fair in offering a refund. I say take the instruction manual, drop it in a shoe box with some baking soda for a week to kill the odor. Then hop back on ebay, give the dude a good feedback rating and put all this nonsense behind you.

Life is way to short to sweat the small stuff...
