I bought it on July 11 2024 and first contacted the seller October 27 2024 after finding out that the item was fake from every dealer that I showed it to at a civil war collectors show. The seller never responded. I see that the seller has listed some more of these fake photos on his sellers page Kansas-Kollectables in the original rice paper sleeves so I tried to contact the seller again and i decided to report and share my experience with e-bay them selves.

If it has been less than 30 days since you received the item you can file a Return Request.

Within 30 days from date of delivery, go to your Purchase History, find the item, and under â€œMore actionsâ€ click on â€œReturn itemâ€ and select the reason for the return. â€œdoesn't match descriptionâ€œ. Attach a photo.
The seller will have 3 business days to either accept the return and provide a prepaid return shipping label OR refund without having you return the item.
If they don't do either, you can go back to your Return Request details 4 business days after you filed the Request and ask Ebay to step in.

If it is too late to file a Return Request, contact the funding source you used to pay for the item.
