If you are not happy with condition and the seller does nothing to rectify it,
then leave them negative feedback stating your concerns.

You do need to be a bit careful if you use a magnifier to check condition as
it can over emphasise fine damage that is not necessarily seen by the naked eye.
Many new parts have scratches. Not big gouges, but faint scratches to the surface,
especially CMF parts where someone has felt the package rather heavily to identify
it.

But if it is damage you see by eye, and then use a magnifier to confirm, that's
a good idea.

Neck prints can also be deceiving. Sometimes that print is very low density and
even partially missing. This is not always a sign of use. But if there are scratches
up-down on the neck print, it is more likely.

Oh I know, I’m not overly picky about scratches and such because I know that
that can happen inside of sets and in bags with other items, that’s why with
the one item (a shield) I didn’t even mention that to her at first even though
with the naked eye I could see a scratch on the print, but I’m not trying to
nickel and dime anyone but a item listed as new and has bite marks or the item
with the neck print rubbed off from a head being removed ( which it does have
the ink going up the neck and that’s why I said it’s from a head being taken
off) and I’m paying for it to be new I expect it to be in better condition.

The neck seems fine to me. Could come from scratching with parts in a bag.

Isn't that mark/missing print to the neck from assembling it in the factory.
I thought the old process was that the neck print identifies the front, then
used to spin it around if necessary to attach the arms. I've seen quite a
few new torsos in the past with marks like that, especially when the white is
very thin / low density.
