Agree with Bobby. Don't pay for it if you haven't paid yet. If you have paid you can still get a refund via Pay Pal, regardless of if the seller says he accepts returns, or not.
But then you'll be out the return postage.
Depending on your finances, you might just want to consider keeping it for the $20 or so you paid as a very good reminder of what has already been referenced. If it's too good to be true...

If you didn't pay for it yet I can make the whole thing go away.

If the price looks too good to be true it probably is  CSOTUS is right. For about $20 he sold a coin that normally sells for close to a grand in just AG3 grade. That's your biggest clue. Edited by Brian Mc

Oh geez. The seller should be reported to the federalis. Good lord though. 20 $ for a potentially multi thousand € coin?
I just want to add, I don't mean for anyone to take offence, but this is kind of like buying a lottery ticket, little bit of hope feels good? Except, I suppose, there is no PayPal protection on lottery tickets.

If I'm not mistaken once you open a case with ebay for him selling you a counterfeit and the seller or ebay refunds you they won't even make you send it back. If for some other reason you do the seller should be responsible for return shipping.ignore all the stuff the seller says about no refunds and its "as is" and they don't know if it's real. Selling fakes is not allowed . |

That used to be true, I'm not sure if that is still the case anymore. It had the problem that it could be used by a scammer, receive your genuine coin, claim it was a counterfeit and get his money back (with ebay pulling it from your account) plus be allowed to keep your coin. |

Thanks for all the good advice. Seller never ended up accepting the 20 bucks through PayPal, so case closed. Lesson learned!!

Can I ask why you have 50k+ worth of high test cc dollars but you're going after this thinking it may be real?

I never realized how many counterfeit coins was on ebay until this forum opened my eyes. Can't wait till I'm knowledgeable enough to distinguish fakes |

Hint:
If it had been real, you would have had serious bidders and you wouldn't have gotten it for that price
