Hello. I am a relatively new trader here, but have managed to get a few good trades under my belt in the last few months. I just had my first bad experience where I received a card that was in much worse shape than the NM it was described as. I'm not a professional grader, but I would think of it as damaged: http://imgur.com/VMe5A1y,lIoNSaf

What is my course of action here? I feel like I probably lost a couple dollars of value in the trade because of the misrepresentation of the card's condition.

Thanks.

Per the Trade Rules here on Deckbox (http://deckbox.org/help/trade_rules):

2.3 Card conditions. The sender has to make sure to accurately mark the condition of his cards, according to our grading guidelines. If the cards are in a different condition than promised the sender has to compensate for the difference in value. (Failure to compensate the other user will result in negative feedback or a trade suspension.)

So, I suspect you could ask for compensation (look at the price difference between a M/NM and a MP card (which is what I'd say the Stomping Grounds you received is, although I'm not expert; I just used StarCity's guide: http://www.starcitygames.com/pages/cardconditions)).

Alternatively, I believe you can just request that the trade be "undone" - each person returns their cards. This might be preferable if you have no use for an MP Stomping Grounds. But, based on the Trade Rules I quoted, it appears compensation (through other cards or, presumably, PayPal-type transactions) is the primary method.
