A couple of things happened. I took photos and sent them to the seller, Ebay allows for this now. That way there's no argument did they or didn't they.
Both sellers said return for a full refund and I asked if they'd pay for return shipping and in both cases they agreed. When I informed them the costs
and asked them to choose between reducing the price by approx 1/2 (they were $50 records) or paying $20.00 for the return costs they both
preferred to partially refund - I have to say they were both very good about it, no lame excuses just apologies. The "warp guy" said he'd only just
started selling records and thought it was natural and the "crack guy" understood that styrene is Kryptonite
Just for your info the warped one was "Velvelettes - Lonely girl" on that double stripe label - cost $52.00 and the other was "Greg Perry - Heart" on Alfa $47.00 - both now for about £40.00, both play perfect.
