Advertising you're a comper?

Hi,


I ordered some cheap postcards from ebay but they've arrived and have an advertisement for a comping forum on them. Although it didn't mention this on the description I don't feel I can send them back but I'm worried about using them, is there any chance of me winning anything if I send them in?
Has anyone ever won anything while advertising they are a comper? (with the exception of bloggers)

    Why can't you send them back?

    If they are not as described I would ;)

    It shouldn't make any difference although if I did postcard entries I would choose not to use something like that.


    (If cards are advertising something I would expect them to be free)

    Or you could stick pictures out of magazines on top.

    If the seller didn't state that the postcards had the advertisement printed on then I would send them back as they would be classed as 'item not as described' - the seller should refund you for the postage it has cost you to post them back plus what you paid.
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
