Badly described item even after contacting seller before purchase

Hi
I am not a happy bunny. I have been looking for 100% cotton school uniform dresses, as my dd can only wear 100% cotton because of eczema. So after finding several dresses described as cotton, I emailed each seller to ask for confirmation re percentage of cotton, explaining that I needed 100%. Most apologised an amended their descriptions accordingly as they were not 100%, I wasn't bothered by this I was only trying to avoid buying less than 100%.
I received this reply to one of the dresses: Hi, sorry i've only just replied, pc problems.yes it is, my 2 daughters suffer with eczema and they have been fine wearing them.thank you. So I quickly purchased the item with buy it now. Fine no problems so far, are you keeping up?
I received the dress today and it is not 100% cotton the only cotton content is in the collar, I have emailed the seller asking to be refunded and also for postage to be reimbursed both ways of course pointing out if a completely honest description was given I would not have even purchased, I am really annoyed because I took steps by contacting sellers prior to items ending to make sure of cotton content.
Am I correct in being so annoyed or unreasonable??
I am still waiting for a reply frpm the seller.

Any advice please

  • I'd be annoyed too, think you're absolutely right in feeling that way. Hope you get what you want from your seller.



    Your screen name seems oddly familiar- is it one of the characters in the Farseer books or am I just confusing myself here? Sorry, I know it's nothing to do with your question , but I have to ask.

    Hi
    Thanks for your support.
    Yes I am quite a fan of Robin Hobb and tried hard to find a name different that wouldn't already be taken. Although it is a long time since I read them.
