Would you leave a neutral?

I bought a summer jacket for DD last week. It was listed as Next in the heading and as the brand within the listing. It was listed for BIN of £7.99 and looked a really nice jacket, so I bought it.

It arrived today and it is a lovely jacket, lovely colour and in VGC, but its from George.

I like the jacket, but I paid more than I would of done had I known it was from George. Part of me thinks that its a bit deceptive to say the item is from a shop that you know people will pay more for, but the other part says its a nice jacket.

Would you leave a neutral?

yes, i would.
i would e-mail them first and see what they have to say about it though.
do you want to keep it?

Yes I would. Although would e-mail them first as thisisyesterday says.

Well, i would be extremely annoyed at this and would leave a negative!! But email her first - she may have had 2 jackets to sell and got them mixed up (clutches at straws??)

A BIN at £7.99 for a NEXT jacket is a very different kettle of fish than the same price for a GEORGE jacket which you could probably have bought cheaper if you had gone to Asda yourself.

The seller in this instance has committed fraud (either inadvertedly or not).

I had this a couple of weeks ago, bought a beautiful pair of baby shoes off eBay, they arrived in excellent condition, very cute, but turned out to be from primark and I had paid at least twice what they would have cost in store, with p+p on top. My seller didn't say where they were from though so they weren't exactly being deceptive. I decided to put up and shut up, since they were lovely and they arrived quickly, well packed etc

In your case I'd leave positive feedback, praise what was good about the transaction but write something on the feedback about it not being from next but asda instead.

Don't leave positive feedback - what's positive about receiving something you didn't want ?

I would email her & say there's been a mix up, you've been sent a jacket from George etc. See what the reply is & if not what you want, leave negative for being a trickster or else open a paypal dipute.
