Uhm. You realize that ebay auction is for poly cord? Which is more than likely the cord my corsets will be shipping with. (I can't imagine they'd ship with the cheaper replacement option being the "default". Not with their reputation. EDIT: And the one where we can clearly see the lacing is definitely their poly cord. The other one looks likely to be their poly cord as well... The poly cord's black is a deeper black.)

You may be right, but the cord I can see is definitely not like the cord on my corsets (I have three, all from Corset-Story). I tried to take a picture of the cord on one of mine but I can't get close enough to show the woven detail in the cord. The picture of the one you ordered looks like cotton to me (with a much finer weave, wider but thinner). Regardless, however, the picture may not be exactly what you receive.

You'll them it in a few days, and you'll be able to tell then. And, as you said, you can always order new cord at a later date if the stock cord breaks or wears thin. Have fun! Wearing a corset can be addicting!
