I am unsure where to put this tread. It seems we have a problem with sellers that not only over grade the coins they are selling. They are also playing games with E Bay policies. I just had a run in with 1 seller. http://myworld.ebay.com/jkli3388?_t...047675.l2559

This seller has a few stage names that he lists in some of his past sales. 1 Of them I think is correct. Here is one screen name that I am fairly sure it was him "coins4u*nme" it has the same type of goods as well as a few other things that match out with this seller.

I bought a coin listed as an 1889 O Vam-20a Hot 50... with a make an offer. "Original idem number" 271086943861 I knew the seller was new but we all have to start somewhere. I thought I would be protected by the buyer's protection and I thought I saw wreath clashing over the head. I made an offer and it was taken. I paid for it with-in 5 min time. The seller refunded me my money and re-listed the coin next listing number "Same Coin" 271087736189.

I told the guy to just forget it as he re-listed the coin. He said I own it and billed me thought Pay Pal. I paid for it and then noticed that the coin was not even an O Mint marked coin. I E-mailed the seller and told him not to bother sending the coin if it did not have an O Mint Mark as it would not be as listed. "He sent it anyway" I then got the coin and sent it right back Insured and with Tracking. The seller gets it back and then Re-listed the coin Idem Number 271097174577.

I have seen a few sellers that make errors on what VAM a coin is, but in this case not only is the seller aware that its wrong... he is using catch names to over hype his sales. ie: Top 100, Hot 50 and so on.

The Point to this post

This seller understands E-Bay better them most. I found out that even with me buying the coin on E-Bay and then paying it though Pay Pal. That if a seller refunds you and them just re bills you...You Cant post a claim against the seller.

This seller has e-mailed me though my Pay Pal address 3 times using language that is not suitable for this site. He said the coin came back damaged and then that the coin was broken out of its "Do it yourself Slab" then claimed my fingerprints where on the coin. Then the coin gets re-posted on E-Bay.

Anyway I have every E-Mail from this guy. On the last one well here they are. My point is "Never" pay for something on E-Bay if the seller bills you! Un-less you know the seller very well. You can get your funds back but it takes effort and E-Bays Buyers Protection is no longer in play.

The offer I made this seller was Just refund me and I will leave No Feedback....Mess around and the gloves come off so to speak...

MY RESPONCE TO HIS E_MAIL BELOW
The reference as to the SEALS was I told him to hold onto the finger prints on the coin as they where not mine, and that my prints are on file with the FBI,NSA and the US Navy.

LOL I was never a SEAL, I do know that they are stage names I also know much
more. I think 1 of the names is correct but I just forwarded the names and
listings to E-Bay as well as the 3 Idem numbers of this coin. Both Pay Pal and
E-bay have all the E-mails from here and E-Bay. You can change your screen name
many times but the acct name and address is something they always have.

As far as being human well from my side of this transaction it looks "not so
Good". I told you just to refund my money and I would "not leave any feed back"
That's fair in my book when a seller makes an error in his listing, in this case
its not an Error...as you know this coin is not what you have it re-listed as.

From my side of this table

1st new user acct
2nd idem paid for ,them idem is re listed
3rd told I own the idem after a refund is made and after the same idem is
re listed by the seller
4th E-mail you and told you that if the coin was not an 1889 O mint coin as
listed then do not send it as it was not as listed.
5th sent a 1889 P coin anyway
6th seller knows said coin its not a Hot 50 coin yet still has it listed as
one, and then re-lists it again as one.
7th will not communicate though E-Bays mail system

The list could continue but there is no need too. Telling me the coin case was
opened or damages or has my finger prints on it is just a game. You and I both
know that that not true. I will get my money back as you just confirmed what I
told Pay Pal. Your name will get flagged and this did not need to happen. All
you had to do is refund this sale with out the BS as as you just stated above
you knew that this coin was not an 1889 O even.

This person sounds a bit off. I'll steer clear of this seller.

Does anyone else feel the product reviews are a bit misleading when they have absolutely nothing to do with the seller?

Yes Dave, I never fill them out as they have nothing to do with the seller. and an 1880 P in MS is an 1880 P in MS. LOL

The Big warning about this is that a seller billed payment is considered by E-Bay as out side of E-bay sale. No Protection. I just found out the Bad Guys know it! But E-Bay will do nothing about it for a few more years much like the Fake or better put FAR OFF GRADEING SLABS like MS-70 and MS-71 Listings ...That and Trends in pricing.

BTW the coin is relisted AU cleaned is my call on itand is in a Globe holders

I'm not exactly sure I understand what went wrong here. Even if the seller "rebills" you outside of ebay, it's still your choice to pay. A seller can never steal your money. Did you not pay by paypal, via ebay, when you first bought the coin. That was clearly a bad situation and the seller sounds like no good, but if you know the way ebay works, you'll know that the buyer has all the power. The only exception to this is when buyer pays outside of ebay...were you tricked into doing this somehow?

Rest in Peace

Russ, I'm looking at the re-list auction and there are not any finger prints on it. Also, I see your point about paying directly through paypal not using the link on ebay. Never gave it a thought that there would be no buyer protection. Thinking back I know I've done this once or twice. I'll never do it again. Thanks for the tip.

I paid right after I hit the Buy It Now button, The seller then "refunded my payment" and said I needed to wait for him to bill me. Once a seller sends you a Money Request ..E-Bay sees it as an Out Side E-Bay transaction and Buyers Protection is no Longer in Play with E-Bay. You Still have Pay Pal but it takes much longer and its wise to hold all e-mails.

I never even thought about it before. But the scammers find the holes. Right in this guys E-mail too me... he states "My Names are Fake anyway

BTW the 1st claim was I opened the case the next claim was the case was damaged and the 3 later claim was my fingerprints where all over the coin and the inside of the holder. That coin was sent back in his packing plus was put in an oversized New bubble package and shipped back Ins and tracked.

Tha really bad thing is because of garbage like this honest "New seller" get hosed.

I have to be honest, I have been on ebay for years (since 1997 I believe) and I was not aware of the ebay thing that if you wait for a bill request you are not protected. I am guessing this is not really the case. What I am thinking is you paid and got a refund, then ebay thinks the transaction is finished and they are out of it. When he sent you a bill through paypal you were no longer obligated in ebay's eyes to pay him again and if you did it was an outside transaction

That is the Case. I was not aware of this at all. On this purchase "with a new acct" I would not of had money sent if I had known that if the sell did what he did it would be this much of a pain in the bud. From what E-Bay told me and this is word for word.... Any Money request from someone is seen as out side of E-Bay as the fee structure is not the same.

Russ, I am sorry to see you have this problem, I know you are an experienced buyer and see you have not a clue about this kind of scam, neither did I. I also see you had the powers to be rule in your favor and hope the " seller" receives more than a slap on the wrist,( DOUBT IT ) Even a seasoned buyer can and does fall prey to the sly fox's and con artists on the bay, Be Well, Mike PS, Thanks for the heads up!!!!

Thanks for sharing this information. They probably have gotten away with it many times since I imagine most buyers do not have the where with all or sophistication to see it to the end.

I had never heard of the ebay policy they told you about. I wonder if you purchase multiple items from a seller and you wait for an invoice from them because if you pay without the invoice you do not get combined shipping unless they have already put it into ebay that they combine it(Most sellers do not do this) and at what cost if it would be covered or not? This just doesn't seem right to me. I am glad you got your money back but if that is ebay's policy they need to do some tweaking to that a little. Like I said above I can understand if there was a refund they would say the deal was done through them as you paid and have received the item or your money back (which is what the ebay protection is there to make sure of)but I don't understand the just if you get an invoice sent its not covered

From what E Bay told me.. it was the refund of the first pay pal payment, that set the inability to file a claim against the seller. Once the seller issues a refund in any manner to a buyer, they see it as the seller making it right for the buyer. As the buyer is made whole with the refund in E Bays eyes, you cant post a claim against them "Per: E-Bay policy". You can only place feedback. As far as Pay Pal just keep every E-Mail you receive until you are sure you are keeping what you Won or Bought.
