It was clearly advertised as a 7 1/4, so you should.

here is the deal ... the tag say 1/4 and there is a loose factory red size tag ... not attached to the hat mind you that says 7 1/4
anyone could have stuck that in there.

I'm not a ***** ... this thing sits on the top of my head like a yamaka

there is no chance in hell that it started life as a 7 1/4 ... she is trying to strong arm me

Sounds to me like a 6-5/8 - a little wider than "regular oval".

Could both tags belong to another hat?

Edit: - and of course I really feel with you :(

I was thinking the same thing because the red size tag under the brim is loose ... just completely sitting loose behind the sweat
... and I don't want to mess with the sweat too much to look at how the keyhole size tag is attached because I don't want to damage anything so she has more to complain about

no way in hell this thing is or ever was 7 1/4

I have no idea what it means.. it sure doesn't mean 7 1/4

this thing is child size ... not even a 7

****ed ... this chick is trying to charge me a 20% "restocking" fee... I'm fighting it to the end

I will get refunded in full
The item is clearly not as described. I wouldn't accept a penny less than what you paid + shipping costs. That really stinks. Sorry you are having such problems.

This showed up at my studio this afternoon
Beautiful hat ... Very nice green ...but unfortunately it is the size of a child's hat.
I mean tiny... I think 1/4 means 6 1/4
It will be going back

No label behind the sweatband? I find this a little weird!

Mine is labeled as a size 7, but the true size is almost one full size smaller!
- In my case the seller knew about hats and sizes so I was warned.

I've mentioned above ... it is there but loose ... just sitting behind the sweat ... it reads 7 1/4

she already left good feedback before I even received the item

Surprising.
It seems to be pretty standard policy among most eBay sellers not to leave feedback for the buyer until they receive positive feedback themselves, so as to have their "revenge" and possibly have their potential negative feedback "removed by mutual agreement", (a phrase that should serve as a warning if you see it too often in a seller's feedback history).

She sounds like at least a half-way honest person, so you may well get all of your money back.

I gave up on eBay years ago, as I got tired of the aggravation of dealing with the 5% of eBay sellers who were just outright thieves that never sent me my purchases and threatened to leave negative feedback for me if I complained, and then did so when I didn't relent.
