Ok, we all look for a super deal on eBay.  That is why we shop here. I have been wearing the SAME M.A.C. foundation for 2 years now.  A few months ago, I bought it off eBay....my M.A.C. Store in town was out of it and it was on back-order.  Well, when it came, SELLER SAID NEW IN BOX, well, the color looked funny, so when I opened it, the top was taken off and foundation was all over the inner and outside the cap.  Tested this shade against my other one, and appearenty, the REAL M.A.C. was poured out and replaced with a cheaper brand.  I emailed seller and the only reasoning she has was that she bought it off eBay to resell, but I was refunded my money.

NEW means NOT OPENED.  OPENED a tad, is NOT new.
