ebay usually sides with the buyer in SNAD cases. Try contacting the seller first for a friendly resolution and if that goes nowhere, go the SNAD route.

I had a set of 2006 ASE's all graded 70's but only one of them truly was a 70. The other ones at a nick on the mirror field and the other coin had a milk spot on it as mentioned above. Wouldn't buy another 70 without seeing it first in hand

But how can it be considered a perfect grade then with milkspots? Just another example of buying graded bullion for a huge premium isn't worth it.
Rest in Peace

The milk spots do not always appear right away, and may have shown up months after the coin was graded and encapsulated.

ebay almost always allows returns, especially if it wasn't what you expected.
Try following the steps OldSkooMadSkilz gave you.

Usually sellers allow returns. Even if they don't, ebay will side with you. Just return it if you aren't happy with it.

@findring very true..take for example the ASEs in the old PCI slabs that say 100% white and they are wildy toned.

Why not just take this issue up with NGC?
They are the party at fault here not the seller.

Did this listing have images?

Do you believe they were retouched to minimize the spots? I'm sorry the seller didn't mention the marks - s/he should have.

If you don't think you were treated fairly, contact the seller to say you want to return the coin and if s/he says no way, go to the auction page and contact the seller through it and you'll immediately get a bunch of questions. Just follow the bouncing ball and you'll open a dispute ITEM IS NOT AS DESCRIBED and the seller will have to either work it out with you, or ebay will refund you (because you have buyer's insurance). And if it goes that far, you get to keep the coin but the seller is in deep crap because ebay doesn't like sellers who don't 'work with their buyers'.

This isn't an NGC issue, this is a seller issue. The onus is on the seller to accurately describe, even if there are no pictures - to give an accurate and fair representation of the item being sold. The only person who can tell a buyer what they're buying is the seller and if they withhold information, then it's on them.

I was able to work out the issue with the seller. the seller had multiples of the coin available so the picture was not available. I ended up getting a partial refund offer from the seller, which was more than satisfactory. as for the coin, the spot doesn't show up too well with my camera, the spot is about 3 or 4 mm in size, it almost looks like a drop of paint landed on the coin.
