AND I ALSO BOUGHT FROM HIM 20 "HARD TO FIND EARLY WHEAT CENTS." WELL, THE AUCTION ENDED ON CHRISTAMAS DAY... YES CHRISTMAS... I JUST GOT THE PACKAGE TODAY... AND LET ME TELL YOU...IT IS CRAP..THE "EARLY WHEAT CENTS" ARE NO EARLIER THAN..1951 AND THE LATEST IS A 70S. THE AVERAGE CONDITION IS AT BEST A G-6.. THE 70S IS A LITTLE BETTER. THE AUCTION FOR THE LINK I'm POSTING ..THE CENTS IN THE 80'S ARE TRASH...MARRED AND PITTED..A NICE 59 AND 59D AND A NICE "TONED" 84 I HAVE TRIED TO CALL BUT NO # LISTED. I EMAILED AND NO RESPONSE. ANY WAY..PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK... FOR $30.00 I DON'T KNOW IF ITS WORTH THE GRIEF... I'm TEMPTED TO TELL HIM I FOUND A 72 DD IN THE LOT AND SENDING IT OFF TO GET CERTIFIED JUST TO P**S THEM OFF. ANY WAY HERE IS THE LINK. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...m=3948490540 Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 02/10/2005 7:51 pm Hi Grovey, Well, you have a couple of options. If the seller does not respond within 3 days, I would file a complaint against him for bad contact info. Make sure that you save all of your emails in case ebay wants copies. Even if you paid with Paypal, Paypal will be of no help to you since you have received the merchandise. The only leg you might have to stand on with Paypal is that the seller is obligated to ship within 7 days of payment. I don't think you could get your money back through them though, since you received the package. I would hold off leaving feedback for him until this is resolved. Although "feedback extortion" is not the most ethical thing to do, sometimes it's the only way a buyer can get justice. Report this Post to the Staff
grovey Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 02/10/2005 8:10 pm I know and I sent for contact info through ebay. the # I got was a disconnected #. I'm just going to email him. I might not get my money back but I will let him know how unhappy I am.. I may not buy coins through ebay anymore just from trusted people and my local coin shop. by the way you are one of the trusted people. Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 02/10/2005 8:13 pm Is your email to him being returned as undeliverable? I would give him 36 hours from the first email to respond. Did you pay with Paypal? Report this Post to the Staff
grovey Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 02/10/2005 8:41 pm No, I sent him a check. I thought about it and would rather not get so upset over $30.00. I have more imporatnt things to deal with than I jerk from ebay..I sent him the following email..tell me, is this a bit sarcastic.. I think I got my message across.. besides i'll make up $30.00 somewhere else..it always comes back around. HI, I RECEIVED YOUR ITEM TODAY http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...m=3948490540 1ST) THE AUCTION ENDED ON CHRISTMAS... I UNDERSTAND YOUR "15 DAY CHECK CLEARING RULE" BUT WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW IT TAKES AN EXTRA 2 WEEKS TO GO FROM HOLLYWOOD, FL.. TO STUART, FL...I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT QUICKER IF I PICKED IT UP.. 2ND) THE 20 "SCARCE EARLY S DATES" ARE CRAP.. IF THEY GRADE OUT AT AG THAT'S A GIFT.. THE "EARLIEST" ONE 1S 1942S AND YOU ALSO INCLUDED THE INCREDIBLY EARLY 1970 S. ALL BUT THE 70S ARE IN SUCH POOR CONDITION YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASED. 3RD) THE COMPLETE SET OF "UNCIRCULATED" SETS IS A JOKE OH SURE THE 59 AND 59D ARE NICE.. AND THE 60 AND 60D..THE 80'S ARE PITTED AND SOME CORRODED..THE 75 HAS A HUGE STAIN ON IT..I MEAN THIS IS A VERY POOR REPRESENTATION... 4TH) Ii TRIED TO CONTACT YOU AS I SENT AN EMAIL TO YOU A FEW DAYS AGO ASKING TO DISCUSS A POTENTIAl PROBLEM.OF COURSE I GOT NO RESPONSE. I GOT ebay CONTACT INFO AND THE # YOU HAVE LISTED WITH THEM 954-261-5381" IS NO LONGER I SERVICE". GEE, IMAGINE MY SURPRISE ... SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS I GOT TAKEN...I'm GLAD IT WAS ONLY FOR $30.00..PLEASE BLOCK ME FROM ANY AUCTIONS I DO NOT WANT TO WIN ANY OF YOUR STEALS...ERR I MEANT "DEALS" THANKS FOR LISTENING..I KNOW CARING ISN'T A CONCERN..YOU PEOPLE GIVE ebay A BAD NAME..... AND IF YOU HADN'T FIGURED IT OUT YET.. THERE WILL BE NO FEEDBACK.... -Gil Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 02/10/2005 8:56 pm Gil, If you're not interested in getting your money back, that email is fine. I would take out the feedback line, and here is why: You can leave feedback on an auction long after it disappears from "My ebay" as long as you have the auction number. You actually have around 90 days. If I were you, I would wait until the 89th day from the time the auction ended and leave negative feedback at that time. The seller definitely deserves it, but I know that you are concerned with your own feedback rating. You run less of a risk to yourself if you wait until the last minute. Negative feedback is important to let potential bidders know that they have to be careful with this seller. Report this Post to the Staff
