I would say the seller was confused by the box and did not intend to mislead. I would wait for the refund and then give the seller an *excellent* feedback. Making a mistake is easy but not all sellers are willing to make it right. Some of the worst sellers might even have accused you of "switching" the 52 for a 49 and THEN asking for a refund! Your seller sounds very honest and willing to do right.
