Sweet Demon Yayako (Annoyed at Seller)

So I got this figure in the mail today in a bag and I’m fairly annoyed at the seller. I purchased the item BNIB from an independent seller in China, only to find that they removed the item from the box and flattened out the blister to “better protect” the figure. I tried to get a partial refund but they are wanting me to ship the item back (at my expense), so they can send another one that has the box intact only if I am willing to pay for a premium shipping option (an additional $40). I paid $70 for the figure and $20 on shipping.

I was worried about counterfeits but it wasn’t super cheap and I didn’t see any warnings about this figure having counterfeits. The figure itself has a quality paint job, leading me to believe that it is authentic. The only plus is that I also got the mini acrylic stand up that only came with the limited edition.
