weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 4:21 pm A buyer bought 4 of my coins and after about a week decided to return them. His reason was "I don't need them any more." So about 4 days later in they come, no longer in their original holders. In fact, they were packaged up 2 per flip - you know - with the coins touching and rubbing against each other. I tried to fight it and went through the whole "buyer abused the return process" but to no avail. ebay just sucked the money out of my PayPal account. I'm fighting it, but I'm not holding out much hope. If you know what I sell on ebay, you know that they're NOT high quality coins, but that's still beside the point, IMO.

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 10:08 pm Tell ebay he returned them damaged which is technically true if even on a microscopic level. That should initiate your desired outcome. Those ebay people work on guidelines not stories so be direct... "buyer returned items damaged, not in original condition" Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 10:55 pm ebay has passed the point of being an auction venue, long ago. All they are now is a money factory for the shareholders, like any other developed corporation. The things that made them so good at what they were - that built them into the behemoth they are - are now counterproductive to the mission of creating money. They reduce profit, and stuff that reduces profit has to go. It's very close to the point where they can be replaced by someone else who is hungry enough to build new and do it right. Until they succeed, and sell to the profiteers, and the cycle repeats. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 12:48 am Welcome to Bayworld,where the only people who are right is E bay itself and the buyer. The seller has NO rights. Take the return and move on . There is nothing else you can do. Last year we sold 8 1953 Canada Silver Dollars from an ORIGINAL bank roll to a bidiot who returned them saying the reason was he could not make money on them trying to resell them!! Glad he returned them as it really. worked out for us after we then sent them for certification. Six of them ended up as MS 64! SsuperDdave may well be right.The time is RIGHT for something else to replace what Jokebay has become. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 01:02 am I don't mind being forced into a mode where I have to be a regular retailer. I understand retailing pretty thoroughly; ain't a problem. But you can't wait a few days to decide to pay when you buy from Amazon, and you should have no right to make me wait like that either. The auction format forces some compromise, of course, but I cannot see why the rule isn't 72 hours, and you're done. Don't place a bid and go on vacation. Report this Post to the Staff
