That I have learned pacificoin. I had never really gotten issues before and I've sold maybe ~60-80 coins (sell some to buy more). But now I see that it's not worth dealing with something like this every once in a while for such a small price. Once the listings over I'll probably just keep whatever is left in stock.

If you feel that the listing was clear and fair, than at this point you're better off taking an ebay defect and cancelling the transaction. It will still be less painful than sending the item and the buyer then him/her claiming a product deficiency. If the buyer leaves you negative feedback, then go ahead and fight it with ebay then. I haven't seen your listing and not sure if you actually show a picture of a roll, but if you do, I'd remove it even if your description is obvious that it's a single coin. It doesn't really help the listing and you're opening yourself up to this type of abuse. There are buyers out there that scour ebay for listing errors and borderline listings and purposely bid on the inconsistency and then try to work the seller. Its happened to me once or twice where my description didn't match the photo. Especially if there is a big difference in value between one or the other. (Eg, the picture is a 1923 nickel and the description says 1925). You'd be surprised now many people bid away without pointing it out (although many do)).

"2015 50 Cent from Roll FREE SHIPPING"
"Last updated on May 31, 2015 18:55:06 EDT View all revisions Up for sale is one (1) canadian 50 cent piece from a 2015 Roll. These coins went straight from the roll into the 2x2 flaps, so in my opinion, grades range from a 64 to a 65.
Please note: 1 random coin will be picked from the rolls, but as said above, it will grade around a 64 or 65. The coin in the picture is not the one you will necessarily receive."
Edited: didn't finish my post!
In my opinion, that you've clearly clarified the source of your 50c, as opposed the alternate being from an Uncirculated Set, is of interest to potential buyers as well. I think you just happened to hook an real idiot.

Quite frankly with the agro from selling cheap Non Tracked ebay lots within Canada , we just do not bother anymore. We just about lost our major ebay trading account over two bidiots in Quebec ( total dollar amount was $55.00 U.S. ) . Both I did not gets . Now , we are literally 25 minutes and a short walk to a U.S. Post office in WA. State. Everything we sell is now tracked and most of our sales are export. I could care tuppence if we ever sell another coin in Canada again unless the buyer is willing to pay tracked shipping. It is not worth losing an outlet that generates our livelihood , that outlet being ebay. A little of my background ( Retired Canada Post 22 plus years ) tells me properly addressed packages with clearly marked return addresses just do not evaporate into thin air. It is open season on ebay sellers who are wide open to both Ebays brutal buyer centric policies and thieving buyers I In my professional opinion.

Ok, so now I see the listing. The description is very clear. The main pic is something that someone may definitely play on. As I stated above, I would remove the roll or if you really want to have it on display, take a picture of the roll with a single coin leaning on it (or something like that).

Alright guys,
Thanks for the support and help. I just thought wanted to see if cancelling is the best option and it looks like it is.

I'm very much against misleading photos on ebay. Although the buyer is dead wrong in this case (as you explain in your description that it is only one item), the picture can mislead the naïve or ignorant ebay buyer. May I suggest next auction have your main (or first picture) as a SINGLE half dollar and then have the second picture that of your roll of halves.

Your best bet would be to just cancel the order. They cant leave you feedback if you cancel the order. Then if they don't reply within a certain amount of days I believe it is awarded in your favor and the order will be cancelled.

jderm, I had an auction end last week for two 1969 x $20 bills. This buyer's final bid was a $100. This is the conversation that followed. -- Buyer: Hi, I will be appreciated if you could give me 50% off on this auction, thanks. Me: Why would I have to do that? It's an auction. Why did you bid? Buyer: Because it's courtesy, I am a person with disability and it's just like doing charity for children's hospital, thanks. Me:I donate to many local charities. Unfortunately this is a business and I have serious buyers bidding on my items. If you don't want the item or can't pay, I can go ahead and cancel the transaction. Buyer:Hi, why do you contribute the charity to rest of the other people but not me, thanks.
