So I was going to post about a War Nickel lamination error I bought to go with my others well seems they "LOST" it and the time before that I won a 1960 D small date over large date and he "SENT" it to wrong person. I know it probably isn't what they wanted for the item but come on if someone wins it should not get lost or sent to someone different completely. But seems like more and more sellers are losing there stuff. |

I have noticed an increase in this also. I do hope you slammed them in feedback at least the second time. What I also noted was a week or so later they miraculously FOUND one just like it and listed it.

With an inventory of several thousand pieces, even with a fantastic inventory accounting system, sometimes pieces get accidentally listed twice. A couple of times, the automated inventory management system I have didn't immediately sync up when a listing from my website was sold, leaving it still live on ebay and other sites. The worst is when someone with sticky fingers takes something at a coin show and then, since you didn't realize it, you find out weeks later it is missing. Not every mistake is nefarious, most of the time, it is just a mistake. |

It happened to me once . I won a bid on a coin that was worth a lot more than my winning bid . After a few days the seller e-mails me and said sorry but I have misplaced the coin you won and refunded my money . Now I'll leave it up to you guys ; did he really loose the coin or didn't want to let it go for such a low price ?  |

It's just been a problem I've ran into a couple of times so far. I don't leave feedback because I give them the benefit of the doubt even though it looks like it's usually the ones with only a few listings that Lose there stuff I've sold at a lot of places and never once lost anything. And I'm probably the most unorganized person you will ever meet. But just thought I would get it off my chest here instead of taking it out on ebay. I've never left bad feedback anywhere and don't plan on it. |

Sellers cannot leave buyers any negative, neutral, nor poor comments. Comments left for buyers that may seem bad are easy for the buyer to have removed. ebay almost always sides with the buyer. The great majority of the time mistakes are simple errors, unless a habit is evident. |

Zach, if it's the same seller, be suspicious. If different ones, especially newer ones, I cut slack. I was a new seller once, transposed an address number, got returned and corrected, easy to do, especially when writing. Printing labels uses a database, a lot more reliable yeah, but also more expensive which is ridiculous if you sell a $0.99 item and have to send it out as 1st class package w/tracking for $2.67 more... Don't sell much that way unless you do auctions.  . New sellers haven't played the shipping game yet, I think we all have to learn that one! Edited by Crazyb0

I am always losing items. I only know they are lost, when they sell and I have to go and ship them out.
I usually manage to dig them up, but sometimes I don't.
In almost all cases, you will not suffer an actual loss by the seller canceling a sale. It is only a big disappointment. I don't think slamming them with feedback is necessary.
If it happens many times with the same seller - avoid them.

I think that it would be hard to know from a single instance if it was an honest mistake or not. A few years ago I won something on ebay and the seller wanted to cancel the sale. Unfortunately for him but not for me he had sent it out and I had received it already! |

I once auctioned off a laminated "cracked skull" Jefferson War Nickel, but I actually misplaced it. The high bidder thought that I was trying to play it off, but...stuff happens, and I refunded the high bid. I found it a couple of years later...but have misplaced it again. Something tells me that my "insides" does not want me to try and sell it again. |
