Buying

Hello. 

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me  or give me advice or guidance. 

I purchased 7 boxes of pokemon cards for my son they was  new sealed. 

All 7 boxes after I opened them looked like  fake cards i just had a gut instinct. 

I explained to the seller and they completely understood an apologised agreeing to return money. 

Then I get email from customer service saying they looked into it and don't think it's violation after I described them.

I sent the items back to the seller then after I  see the money on hold then it completely disappeared  as in they not going to give me a refund. 

If anyone knows about pokemon cards 

Could you tell me if you think fake please. 

The red flags for me after I looked up on them.

1 . Date on box 1918 cards have different year on them 1917 

2. Colour is really bad  the borders around the  edge look different size.

3 put light behind the card  and you can see through them.

4.i  Ripped a card in half  and no black line running in the middle. 

5. The cards feel  like plastic and really thin 

6. Really easy to bend the cards 

7. The circle with the energy symbol look different or like squashed in .

8. No holographic pokemon ball was on outside packaged. 

Last question because I completely don't know .

If you open 7 boxes and don't get anything apart from basic cards ..

In total 1750 cards is that normal ?.

Sorry I know I have  done a essay but I'm frustrated because cost me  over 100 pounds .

And feel like I been treated like I'm the criminal. 

Thank you again

Did you open a case using the money back guarantee,  or did you just report the listing through the button on the listing?
