Done deal. Seller refunded 50%, feedback modified, lessons learned, I own a shinny 1932 P Washington, let the collecting continue!

I would insist on a full refund including shipping or perhaps a partial refund to compensate you for keeping the quarter you received.

I would not give a partial refund, because some buyers use that trick to get a discount after the deal is made. If you offer refund or replacement, it's amazing how suddenly they really don't want to return the item, because whatever they were complaining about was non-existent. The louder they scream, the more likely nothing is wrong.

Of course, I wouldn't advertise an item and ship something inferior, either.

Biggfredd - I get your point and was completely ready to return the quarter. I had offered either me returning it and him paying for shipping or refund 50%. He went with 50% refund. Either way I wasn't keeping it for what I paid because It wasn't the item I paid for at all.

I honestly think he went with the 50% refund because ultimately he knew he did me wrong and didn't want to hassle with it. Plus he knew working with me on it would get him a better feedback rating. It's honestly the first time something like this has ever happened to me, I've bought and sold off of ebay for a long time now and never had the bait and switch done on me...As easy to deal with as the guy was it makes me wonder if he just over committed his stock or something....anyway it worked out and that's what matters.

I know you ended up happy with the deal, but without a plausable explanation on why he shipped the wrong coin, I'm not so sure the guy deserve to be let off the hook so easy. I just have to wonder how many people bought coins that they did not complain about or know enough to complain about in the first place.
Rest in Peace

Many years ago, I read even in cases of gross error (ordering buffaloes and getting Lincolns, for example), only about 20% of buyers will return for refund.
