Start a claim with ebay first, they have an option on the dispute page for "Significantly Not as Described" and I think that qualifies. ebay will try to contact the seller and request he take care of things. If not, as long as you paid by paypal, and had it shipped to a verified address, you SHOULD be covered... Here is a link the dispute page you need at ebay.. http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/inr-s...process.html |

Chris start your claim and always pay with a credit card when you buy from ebay. that way if paypal or ebay wont help you the just file a claim with your credit card. you will never get the raw end if you use your CC Gary |

I went ahead and started the claim. I followed the directions on ebay. Gary- This time I did not use it, I usually do on anything over $100. I am trying to shy away from ebay but enjoy some of the "hidden gems" I find there. The only thing lately I have been buying there are rolls and varieties as they never have those at the local coin shows. I am 0 for 3 on ebay for the last 3 purchases, first one never sent the coin, second one is this one and the last one became a "no longer a registered user" after I paid. They say things happen in 3's so I should be good for awhile! |

Tell me about it! I have been treating my ebay purchases like penny stocks, I only buy what I can afford to lose! I was reading the paypal terms and it looks like this is gonna take awhile to get my money back. I have 191 transactions (there is more but some people do not leave feedback) and only in the last month have I had an real bad experience. Don't get me wrong though, I have bought some cents in the past that were just awful, some were better than expected, ebay is a crap shoot! Edited by chrsb

Wow, that did not take long, the seller contacted me and wouldn't you know it, he sent the wrong coin. I think it is funny that he wants the one he sent me back. Oh well chalk one up for the good guys!

Funny how a chargeback has that effect on the seller. Hopefully all works out.

Don't be in hurry to remove the action ,, wait until you get the coin you paid for or a refund of your money .

He said it went out first thing today, its a shame he can not do business on ebay until I remove the action.  I also got an email from my second "coin not received" had an family problem for the last 6 weeks, said she is going to send an "bonus' coin, I said I would be happy with the one I paid for over 6 weeks ago. The third auction I had problems with showed up in the mail today! Its to bad 0 out of 170 cents were attributed correctly. I have decided I give up on ebay, I will stick with the coin shows, I can hide the coins from my wife easier too!  |

If she is anything like my wife, she already knows. I have decided that I cannot fool her, she is all knowing, so I either don't buy it, or I play suck up and take her out to dinner or something and ease my way into the purchase. There is something to be said for womens intuition, it is real. I will testify to that. |

Mine knows about them too(its fun to pretend I am getting away with something), I broke the news to her the other day there was an 1910 Matte Proof Lincoln coming in the mail, she already knew ( darn completed listings). She signs for all the packages and sees the pile of coins growing. She buys her dolls on ebay, I buy my cents it all works out. Sometimes I like to think I am sneaking one by her, then I remember she pays all the bills, balances the accounts and knows everything. |

Wow, that's a huge difference. File a compliant with paypal that the coin was misrepresented in the photo and made to look better than it actually was.

My wife collects nothing - I did sneak one purchase on the 'Bay by her though, she never figured out I bought a 17th century Dutch tile for a gift for her.
