Not sure how much you sell on ebay but you may want to try Auctiva. You then can supersize all your images and can have as many scans as you want. Hopefully you can move on from this guy and you get the card back and your ebay fees.
Any unbiased observer would clearly say that from the understood dictionary definition of the word "good" to describe something...that a card graded "good" really isn't a card in good condition. LOL

coins have the same problem. good is the second lowest grade.

And "VG" or "Very Good" is really not very good either.
Obviously, the OP is a skilled, honest and experienced seller; he doesn't need my lecture on writing descriptions, but here are a few things I know.
If we cruise over to Ruby Lane for some window shopping, we find the BEST and most honest descriptions on the web. RL requires that ALL sellers accept returns for any reason. To mitigate against a flood of honest folks making returns, most sellers PROFUSELY describe their items. Even the tiniest defects are described, and close-ups of the defects are shown.
This does NOT prevent crooks from abusing the return policy, but it helps keep the honest folks out of the mix. Sellers report that return-rates are not a problem.
Sometime in 2009, probably before summer, EBAY will institute a mandatory "returns accepted" policy for ALL sellers. Combined with PayPal's ridiculous buyer-protection on "SNAD issues," the change will make it unprofitable for some small sellers to do biznez on EBAY. (EBAY is simply to expensive and time-consuming a venue on which to conduct "sales on approval.")
It is likely wise for folks to start getting ready to expand their card-selling empires onto other free or less expensive venues.
As noted above, PayPal has no "SNAD-scam enabling" policies on any site other than EBAY.
On other sites, an honest buyer with a legitimate complaint can either work it out with the seller, or go to his credit card company for help. When a CC chargeback happens, the seller has an excellent chance of prevailing in the dispute; the security departments fully investigate complaints by sellers that their buyer is a scamster. Fake SNAD claims - and boxes returned with rocks in them - are tough for crooks to win when REAL experts are reviewing the case.
godaddy and other hosting companies offer CHEAP packages to get sellers started OFF of EBAY.
ecrater has power-packed offerings that are TOTALLY FREE. google Check Out and paper payments are welcome. Stores are free. Each listing gets 10 huge pictures, FREE. And, nobody tells you how to run your business. google indexes the listings almost immediately. PayPal backs its honest sellers on ecrater; it does not roll-over for SCAMSTERS and THIEVES......(Google Checkout is FREE, for folks who use google-adwords. Instead of making PP richer, the money goes into ads that bring sales.)

To illustrate the hypocracy of EBAY's leadership, we can look to Lorrie Norrington's infrequent listings. (She is the President of Marketplace Operations at EBAY.) Each of her listings disavow returns by stating "items sold as is." She accepts PayPal.

<< <i>The problem with that is casual observers are not buying 1958 Maris cards.
Steve >>
My goodness is that a totally incorrect assertion - Yes, the "casual observer" is not buying high grade PSA Maris, but they do buy low grade star cards all the time. Sorry Steve...you're completely wrong on that one.
what an ass that guy is.Probably one of these amateur collectors who think good means mint.Good in the card collecting world is pretty bad shape and almost at the end of the spectrum.I always see people list cards as good condition not knowing what it means in card terms.In this case it was a buyer who obviously has no idea what good means.Im with Ya .Good luck!
I also think there should have been mention of the crease. As a novice to card collecting, looking at that card, the crease may appear as a fading in color. The buyer also could have assumed that if that imperfection was in fact a crease it most certainly would have been mentioned.
Shane you are a crook, you tried to pull a fast one with that scan but no description...then you use the abbr. GD to mean good, all the while knowing there are many different ways of using the word good. Whats next..some searched rack packs that are in "like new" condition? maybe MIB for some seached packs?
Shame on you bro, only using a pic is what crooks do! next time please give us 1000 words on the card...like the history of the card and where it was pulled!

Lil Kev, I hope you are joking. Shane has over 3000 positive feedback and it's a 100% which tells me he makes an honest attempt at selling and buying. I really think he felt the crease was obvious, but I do feel he should specify any blems in the future.
Kevin is joking, however he feels that a blemish as severe as the one we are discussing does not need to be mentioned. He does not realize that not everyone see's pictures the same.

That was what I was referring to, geeze take what is said in context!
Steve
edited to add: so that there is no misunderstanding (geeze that would be a first around here)
By casual I am talking about a person not in the hobby!
You know, the same person you were referring to.
I was agreeing with you!
