just thought I would post the resolution to all of this in case anyone comes across this in the future. I asked for a refund through ebay's resolution center, the seller offered a refund after returning the discs. I replied saying I shouldnt have to return them as it would cost more in shipping than what they are worth. Even on my company's highly discounted fedex account it would still cost $33 bucks to ship them back to japan. He responded back with the exact same response offering a refund upon return. I then escalated the claim to ebay's resolution department claiming the discs are not as described. The seller has these listed as "new" and according to ebay a "new" item is a "new, unopened, unused, undamaged item in original packaging" and these disc are opened and repacked by the seller, wrapped in plastic wrap and shipped. When I receive them, there are fingerprints all over them and even small pinholes in some (not sure if this is a manufacturing defect) but I claimed the seller should be made to list these as "new, but opened" and also since finding out that panasonic is now manufacturing these for verbatim that the seller should be required to list these as panasonic discs. Not sure if they will follow up on any of that or if they can even do anything about the manufacturer listing since they are still branded "verbatim" but ebay promptly issued me a refund.
I've seen some people say they work for them but they didnt work at all for me and I think in the future I will stick to unopened discs.
