Sadly, I've made that type of mistake before. As other posters said, it's often from re-selling a traded for game and not taking the time for a complete inventory, and since I didn't know the particular game couldn't tell from making a quick check. I've always taken care of the mistake in whatever way I had to for the buyer not to feel ripped off, including making a full refund and paying for return shipping or simply letting them keep the game. On the other end, I've never had someone sell me a game on BGG that had a problem and not be extremely prompt and gracious in correcting the mistake. I think if you approach the seller without hostility and anger that's likely to be the case for you as well, especially on BGG. I'd simply urge you not to assume that the seller had bad intentions, or will be unwilling to rectify the problem, unless you get proof of such (i.e. he doesn't respond, blows it off, etc.). I hope it works out for you.
