Does This Look Used???

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

I bid on and inadverterdly (sp) won this item, but then looked more closely at the picture and thought it looked used. The seller said (s)he would take another picture but now refuses to maintaining that it is new. What do you all think?

Looks like a reflection cast on it by the flash or something, the image is not detailed enough, period, to determine if the item is new through just viewing the image. You've won the item, you are obligated to follow through with the purchase per eBay. The seller has 100% positive feedback. After you receive it it is not as described you can take it up through paypal.

That almost looks like a swipe in the middle... I can't think of why the surface isn't uniform. =T I hope I'm wrong for your sake!

Yeah, it kind of looks like someone swiped a finger tip through it maybe. Hard to say though. So annoying! I hope it's OK when it comes.

What do you mean that she now refuses to maintain that it's new? So after you won she said that it's not new? Well I've heard that you're not allowed to sell used cosmetics on ebay so keep your emails and contact ebay about that.

Plus, she did some false advertisement on her auction if that's the case.

Well, it looks swiped to me, but it could be the flash.

I'm not really an expert, or anything, but it does look like someone tested in the center of the blush. Without a larger image, though, it's really hard to tell. I mean, that light spot could just be a reflection, or something like that, but it does look like it's been disturbed there to me.

I agree, along the center it looks like someone used it or tested it slightly.

I agree with the above posts. It looks smudged/tested in the middle of it.

I think the post said they are refusing to send more pictures, because they are maintaining that the item is new.

The lighter spot in the middle of the blush is the overhead light flaring back off the clear plastic lid. It happens all the time when I do product shots.

If it was a swipe you wouldn't be able to see it from that distance/quality of picture.

I personally cant tell from that pic if it has been touched or not. BUT...she did write that it was BRAND NEW...so when you get it....if it is not she will have to refund your money and will obviously no longer have 100% feedback. Good luck!

I guess "new" means different things to different people, often you see someone selling something saying "new! only swatched/swiped once", uhh, okay...

But file with PayPal if it really is used when you receive it, most make-up sellers don't want negative feedback for something like selling used stuff as it'll hurt their future business, so, some of them are rather nice about refunding. [But most throw a hissy fit, heh].
