Bought the wrong sex?

On Sunday I attended a reptile expo and purchased 6 leopard geckos from a reputable breeder.
I bought 5 females and 1 male.
I didnt think to open up every gecko and inspect them for sex myself, as I was confident in them.
Tonight I felt the geckos were settled enough in that I could pick them up and inspect them.
I see visible pores on one "female" and have a good feeling that this will turn into a male.
What would you do in this situation? I have no need for the gecko if its male
:(

I sent an email to them, I would have no issues driving to exchange it for a female if possible. I hope so, I love their geckos.
They are young, I will post a picture - maybe I'm paranoid.

I am not seeing pores nor a bulge. Maybe a bit paranoid...especially if they are a "reputable" breeder you would assume they have their records and all in order. If you contact them they should have record of every gecko and they can verify inc temps and their visual confirmation prior to the show/selling.

Ok, I just thought it saw the start of some waxing black dots in the pores. I see no bulges though.
