I just got an email from him a little while ago. This is what it said:
NO I DO NOT STILL HAVE THE COIN THE COINS I HAVE ARE LAST NUMBERS 00, 23, 16, 19, 20. I SENT IN A ROLL THAT ALL LOOK ALIKE I JUST DID NOT CHANGE THE PHOTO ON THE LAST AUCTION. IF YOU WANT TO RETURN THE COIN FOR REFUND PLEASE DO. OR I CAN SEND YOU SOME PHOTOS OF THE OTHERS I HAVE LEFT.



And this is the picture of the coin I received:

He's got some nerve saying their all alike. Wow. Even with a refund, he'd get a neutral at best from me. Plus, he "forgot" to change the photo in the last 5 auctions.

Keep all messages through my ebay and all email, headers etc. File coin received not as described, shipped wrong item.
Copy his image right off the listing and also print out the listings clearly showing the item numbers.
Open a case and escalate it immediately. You already contacted the seller and tried to work it out. Seller did not respond.

The heck with that mess. Then leave him a negative. That's what he deserves when he put VERY NICE PIECE FOR YOUR COLLECTION.... THE COIN YOU SEE IN SCAN IS THE COIN YOU WILL receive in the description.
I would be done talking with this one. You want your shipping costs back as well.

Well, I just opened a case with ebay. They want me to give the seller 7 days to fix the problem. Here is the report I filed:

"I purchased ebay item 280556179646(SUPER PCGS 1948-D Franklin half MS64FBL BRITE WHITE) from the seller on September 7th. I payed for the item with Paypal. September 13th, I received a package from the seller. Upon opening the package, I noticed the coin inside was not the coin I won at auction. I verified this by the PCGS serial number that is issued to the coin from PCGS as well as the picture that is on the auction page. Before bidding on the auction, I read the description of the coin as well as the statement (VERY NICE PIECE FOR YOUR COLLECTION.... THE COIN YOU SEE IN SCAN IS THE COIN YOU WILL receive ..... .....NICE ESTATE FIND!!). I entered the coins serial number at PCGS's website (http://www.pcgs.com/cert/) and verified that the coin was athentic. After recieving a different item from the seller, I started looking at his other items up for auction and was surprised to find that my coin is back up for sale http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...560758669&s-
sPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT with a new ebay item number of 280560758669. I have asked the seller if he still has my coin and he has stated that he does not. He also stated that he has several of the same coin and that they all look alike. All conversations the seller and I have had has been through ebay's message system. I give my full authorization to ebay to access my account and read any of the messages."


I don't understand how he can be reselling my coin either. Should'nt ebay stop this auction? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:IT

As I said earlier he is using that image (it was probably the best one) as a stock image to sell the rest of them. This is against ebay rules. If you were to report it as a violation of the stock image rule telling thm he is using a stock image to sell different serial numbered items and give them a list of the auction they may close down his auctions and they might even suspend him.

Looks like they took his auction down. He's right back at it with a different serial # on the slab. I wonder if he's going to ship that one

i hate it when people do this. At least put the worst condition pic out there and tell the buyer that this is a stock photo and that all other coins will be a better grade than the one pictured or the one pictured.
