I looked at a couple of the sellers other auctions. The 2 I looked at had the exact same format : a brief description of his policies in black, followed by a description of the coin in blue, followed by other paragraphs I didn't bother to read.
If I was the seller I wouldn't have used the same title, but you can bet your bottom dollar as a buyer I would have read the entire auction before I bid. In this case you didn't have to read past the first line of the coin description.
I'm not trying to be offensive, but it appears to me that in your haste to get what appeared to be a great deal you didn't bother to do what I would consider basic due diligence, and are now looking for a reason to get out of paying.
There are lots of people that troll ebay, coin shops, antique malls, thrift shops, auctions, etc looking to use their hard won knowledge to buy something for a lot less than it's worth. I don't see anything wrong with that. In fact, that's how I make most of my living. The flip side of that is sometimes your knowledge wasn't enough, or that picture didn't really show what you thought it did, or whatever......IMO in those instances you take your lumps & move on.
