So as to not leave you folks hanging regarding
my issues with the guy who sold me a fake Morgan,
here's where I stand.
Because I was stupid enough to be one of his
victims, I trusted him to refund my money once
I returned the fake coin. Unfortunately, I only
returned it regular mail with no proof of delivery.
Once it arrived, he denied ever recieving it, but
by that time, I had pretty much given up hope of
getting my money back.
A few days later, Paypal contacted him about my
complaint. In his reply to Paypal, he told them
that I had sold the coin, that he didn't have it
and he added a few more lies about me as a buyer.
I then decided to ramp up my complaints, not just
regarding a refund, but because he continues to sell
fakes to other unsuspecting
ebay buyers, some sold
for up to $120. I've called and written paypal a
couple of times, reminding them of this person's
pattern, his neg feedback and anything else I had for
info. Paypal pretty much told me that, without my
having the coin for proof, I'd probably lose the refund
dispute, which is what I expect to occur.
The guy's added on lies about me got me to the point of
now just wanting to shut him down, refund or not.
I contacted
ebay again, but decided I needed extra help,
so I wrote one of his neg feedback buyers who also
bought one of his fakes. This other buyer has also written
ebay and complained of fakes being sold, but he no longer
has the fake either..same scenario as me. Along with him,
I've written
ebay probably 10 or 12 times, each reminding
them of the continuing sale of fakes, sending them every
email to me,his neg feedback, the list number of each fake,
sold or current and even responses from this site regarding
these fakes. I've wanted to write even more buyers from his
neg feedback because I needed help in trying to prove the
sale of these coins, but have yet to do so.
I've watched his ongoing sales, as well as previous sales, but each
buyer of these fakes appear to be new ebayers with low feedbacks of
50 to 100 and I figure they might even like the jerk and feel he
gave them great deals, going by their pos feedback to him and I didn't want one of those "newbies" possibly contacting the fake seller about me or what I was trying to do in getting
ebay to close him down.
As it stands now, Paypal is expected to come back within a week
to decide the refund complaint, but I expect to lose that case.
ebay tells me in several of their "responses"..you know.."thanks
for writing us, yada yada"..they expect to render a decision by
March 5th.
ebay is probably my only hope to gain some satisfaction.
Totally Unrelated to my complaints against this person, I may very
well end up in the hospital for a personal health matter,
so unless
ebay acts or another scammed buyer steps forward, I'll
just have to wait this out and take future measures to protect myself from other sellers like this.
I haven't given up, but what burns me is how this guy continues
to get away with scamming other buyers. For your info, unless you wish to read my intial "FAKE MORGAN" subject line on this site, the seller is 2176ray.
However this ends, I still need to thank all of you for your past
assistance and advice.

. It's going to be a long trial and error process. The more & more we educate, the less & less bogus coins will be kept. jnm444 asked for our assistance in identification & solutions. No comment was mad to confirm delivery. It's just like the saying, "out of site, out of mind". If we don't think about it at first....... probably not gonna get done. I think EVERYONE contributed very well in resolving this issue & raising the radar for any future episodes similar to this one. Everyone needs to pat themselves on the back. 
in. I hate people that sell fakes and run other scams on
