A few days ago, I won two auctions held by the same seller for two items of jade jewelry. When my jeweler (an experienced graduate jeweler) saw the two items, he told me the items were chalcedony dyed lavender--and not jade at all. He also said that selling this material as jade was a common scam. I asked him to test the items anyway because I thought they were jade. He did so and the items were definitely not jade, but dyed chalcedony of small value. I e-mailed the seller who replied saying that I should mail the items back so that the company's jeweler can examine them. The seller has declined to send me any money to cover the expense of returning the items. I am concerned that the seller, who has some negative feedback, will claim that the items were genuine, and that I just had "buyer's remorse." If I mail the items back, the seller will have my money and the merchandise--plus I will have paid for mailing with proof of delivery. How would you handle this situation? Thanks for your advice.
