It is not uncommon for the fret work on high end guitars to be less than stellar. Of the many luthier built guitars I’ve purchased, at least half have needed something. One needed a fret level. A Plek machine does a great job on frets. Skilled repair guys will tell you a Plek can outperform them in consistency and accuracy. So, I would say having the frets leveled is a plus.
As for the return policy, that is up to you. In the 20 years I’ve been selling guitars online, I’ve never allowed the buyer to return the guitar. I’m not a guitar shop and don’t have the time or desire to ship the same guitar multiple times at the whim of a buyer.
So I wouldn’t assume the lack of a return policy means anything. Buying used guitars usually isn’t that risky. I’ve only had one bad experience.
Plek = good
Return policy = don’t expect one if you don’t buy from a shop
