Want To Sell On Ebay? Better Days That Others.

Here's one of the WORSE transaction ever - for a few bucks... Read on:

----------------------------
01-12-14 - Dear xxx,

First I wanted to apologize profusely because I cannot locate your item. I went through every nook and cranny but could not find your penny! Perhaps I shipped to the wrong buyer Wow. Obviously I will refund your entire purchase. And since I already paid for postage I figured I will send you a surprise coin anyway.

Again, multiple apologies.

01-24-14 - Dear canadian_coins,

Hello, I received your package today. It is totally unacceptable as it is not the coin I bid on. Written on a piece of paper was the following....".ooops! $2 2006 BU 10th anniversary coin". Please explain were the auctioned coin, a 1965 cent is? I bid on the auction coin NOT A 2006 $2.

Dear xxx,
I understand but I refunded your purchase fully and emailed you that I would still give you a coin as a gift for free.

I sent you a message on 1/13/14 explaining the situation and apologizing. I could have cancelled the transaction but instead decided to send you something as a gift.

So much for trying to be a nice guy.

Dear canadian_coins,
You failed to answer my question....where is the coin I bid on? I have no use for your gift that is a circulated marked up $2! I want the coin I bid on please.

Dear xxx,
Did you read my original message? I explained that I could not find the coin when I prepared for shipment. I honestly do not know where it is and maybe I've mistakenly shipped with another package. I explained and apologized. What else do you need? I refunded your money PLUS gave you a free BU twoonie.

I could have cancelled the transaction but did not so I could give positive feedback at least.

Dear canadian_coins,
Now I understand!! I am out a coin that I needed because of your inability to control your stock. How is that fair? Maybe you realized that the coin was far more valuable than you thought? As it was a 1965 specimen strike valued up to $100.00 and difficult to locate. I never agreed to your nice guy gift, you just plowed ahead with it. A different solution is required.

Dear xxx,
I am totally offended by your statements because I am an honest seller. I made a mistake and reported it to you immediately and refunded your purchase. I really do not have the coin and did not sell it for $100 elsewhere. I can't believe you think I would do something like this.

--Canadian_coins

Dear canadian_coins,
Enough, you messed up, and think that you are the self anointed "nice guy". Lesson learned I guess. I will not post any feedback for you as I do not want to dirty your spotless feedback. Looks like in the end who was the nice guy! For it is me who was bought out for a well circulated crappy $2 coin. As for you being offended..... I do not know you and can only judge you by the way you tried to appease a me with $2.

--xxx

Dear xxx,
yes I messed up and did apologize for that. I wasn't trying to appease you in any way. Honestly, I was truly out of stock and I cannot explain what happened, perhaps I dropped the coin in another packed by mistake. If I did, then I would hope that the buyer reports the extra coin to me.

I can also offer to find a similar coin, and will gladly send it to you.

Again I feel so bad for what took place, and mistakes do happen.

(Contacted ebay, reviewed and Transaction cancelled)

Dear xxx,
I did some more investigation and found that this coin was actually sold for $0.01 on DEC 08 ( ebay item 181273211946). You can see it is the same pictures. For some reason the item was relisted! I called ebay to find out how that could happen and they are looking into it. I am pretty good keeping up with my inventory so I was really surprised by this situation, but mistakes do happen. I hope this makes more sense to you now.
