This is a tough situation. You definitely did what you could to describe the set, but I don't agree with not offering a return policy. For what it's worth, I think he was probably going to try to pull a fast one on you anyway. There are people out there who, if they feel they can get away with it, will try to keep what they purchased and get their money refunded through Paypal. Since Paypal has so many "fine print" rules that a seller has to follow to be protected, this works quite often. I don't doubt that he didn't read the auction, either. Couple that with the fact that he was willing to spend $2000+ on an item that was questionable and that he obviously didn't have any knowledge about. I can see in the pics that the cent in the set has cartwheel luster. A proof coin doesn't have that; it has mirrored fields and there is no cartwheel.
In my opinion, it would have been better for you to have gone to a dealer or checked out the set with a knowledgeable person prior to selling it. When doubt is expressed in an auction, you will tend to attract the people who think they're going to get something for nothing and be nothing but a problem. I reiterate that it is never a good idea to not offer a return policy.
Unfortunately, at this point, you may have difficulty getting decent money for your coins because of your feedback rating. I would suggest selling your items here on CC after you have 50 posts, or you can contact me if you are interested in selling them on consignment on ebay. I would just hate to see you list them on ebay and lose money.
Hope this helps.
