Thank you, kernowlass, for your suggestion. It does make the most sense. I can't leave her negative feedback, however, because I already left her very positive feedback after opening the boots and then putting them on my closet shelf. Yes, I am happy with the boots, but not with the dirty needle. Maybe it does seem a bit much to request a refund and to keep the boots but this was very serious and the seller should have some responsiblity/liability here. She must have been concerned because she was quick to remove herself as a registered user on EBay and followed up with a vicious message to my personal email which I will not respond to. So, thank you again. I've learned a lesson and have moved on. In the future, I will certainly be sure to thouroughly check items before blindly putting my hand inside of them. Have a great day! 😉
