Item described as 'barely worn, excellent condition' arrived with stain & odour.

I like it and I would have washed it anyway and the stain looks like it will wash out. I am a bit annoyed though.

Should I email or give feedback?

I bought one item from this seller before and it was perfect and I like some other things she has listed.

What should I do?

you need to email first before leaving any feedback. And don't wash it until you decide whether you are sending it back.

don't go right in with negative feedback, or they could do the same to you - email first is the best thing I think!

Thanks for the replies.

I didn't pay that much for it so I am wavering a bit about just washing it and letting it go and leaving ok feedback.

Is it better to deal with it though?

Not worried about feedback - I am a prompt payer and she has already left me positive feedback.

sellers can't leave neg feedback anyway.
Look it's up to you and how dissatisfied you are. You'd be in a good position to request a discount for the extra inconvenience. Otherwise you're not really unhappy, so I think a Neg would be quite unfair.

I think it is courtesy to email the seller first tbh. Then decide on feedback and stars dependent on their reply.

If you are confident it will wash OK and you didn't pay much anyway, I would let it go personally and wouldn't contact the seller.

I would leave positive yet restrained feedback I.e. item arrived safely, thanks and would mark her down on stars.
