Starkraver Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Ah! That's bad. It's a very thin cardboard! Sorry have no idea about eBay policies. There are a few ways to play a warped record, but if it's a new record , which is easily available. Better go for a new record than trying to play that warped one and ending up damaging your needle.

Anoebis Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 if you paid via paypal... Start a claim there, chances are 90% you "win", I always (only 2 times, but still) used it when I had these issues and it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be prepared to have the seller leave you shitty buyer feedback, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
