aw, man... that doesn't look like the photo...

I bought 2 stretchy bodysuits for male bodies from minibarbie.- http://www.ebay.com/itm/FC240-1-6-Fi...-/390433911332

Problem is, they don't really match the photos. I was buying these to cover wrist and neck joints, not for looks, and the ones I got lack the ribbed collars at the wrists. Will this be a problem? I have no idea. I don't yet have the body I ordered and I can't strip down my Sideshow CC or custom Caleb to test(CC uses a different body and Caleb's just too much trouble to work that coat on and off). I'm now worried that they won't properly cover the big wrist balls and if they don't that's $22 wasted on suits that don't match the photos or do what I need. I hate wasting even 1 penny on something that isn't going to work and this hobby's already enough of a money pit.

My only real solution is probably going to be to tie them around the elbows so they can't draw back up the arm when I bend the joint. If not then I'll have to sell them for whatever I can get back... yeah, that'll happen, no one buys anything from me here.

You could send them back minibarbie does refunds. I'm sure he'll work it out with you, or take it up with eBay.

with bluegum..take it up with ebay as not being the right item, start a file then contact the seller and explain that what you got was not what was shown, they will probably just send you another set.

Don't whine about it, do something about it!

Agree with the others....minibarbie pretty good, they've done that with me before, I emailed them and they sorted it.

Only ever had one wrong item from them, they gave me a full refund no questions asked. Contact them first, going behind their backs and contacting ebay probably won't do any good anyway. These guys really are good, thats why they have their gold star.

Re: aw, man... that doesn't look like the photo...

Tough call on that maybe. I looked at their picture posted which could be confusing. Left arm does look like a ribbed collar at the wrist, but it could just be tracing the underlying figure shape. Right arm looks like just a sleeve end, and I doubt the outfit is asymmetrical.

I'm thinking minibarbie will probably want to help you out regardless. But hypothetically, if it came down to a formal dispute they might have a pretty good defence to "they don't really match the photos," which is considered kind of a serious charge in EBay territory (unless I'm misunderstanding something in your description).
