So the seller advertises NM or better, the book arrives at a 9.0-9.4 which equates to VF/NM to NM. And you are upset? 

Refund and apology why? What am I missing?

You are missing that the book is an ugly 9.0 at best (probably an 8.0) and it was advertised and priced as a 9.4-10.

I once bought a book advertised as 8.0 but it looked much better from the pictures. Bought it... got it graded by company across the street.... came back as 9.4   Seller was 4 grades off. Should I have said something or do we only correct sellers who ere in their favor?

I have bought a lot of books on ebay and always look for people that take many close up pictures.  If I am interested and the pictures are iffy I will ask to be sent better ones, if no response they are not worth dealing with.  I have been pretty successful with that method.   But the camera still won't show everything, in the right light a lot of flaws show up sometimes.  Mostly indents in the front cover.   At home pressing will cure a lot of headaches too.

Really depends.  Send my their name via PM and I'll look into them

I used to buy on eBay and I would be upset with the grade and condition they came back in. Now when I look at books on eBay, I am extremely, mega, ultra cautious when I look over the book. If I see even the slightest problem, I either don't buy it or ask the seller a question about it. I recommend playing it very safe and asking the seller as many questions as you see fit and examining the book very very carefully.
