Ebay scams again.

Hey guys, I was suppose to get a 1939 *GEM* coins off ebay. But when I got it it was G condition. I was the first person to leave him negative feed back. 100% changed to a 99.9% like that. Wow! I feel like the 1.20 is gone.

Can we see the listing?

 

How about a little more info Ricky... and a link to the auction.

 

HECK of lot cheaper than my first e-bay "lesson".

 

It Says it was P, But when I got it, it was a "S''

Nevermind! I was refunded!

 

Could have been a possible mix up?

 

I Changed the negative to positive

 

Ricky... you're a seller's worst nightmare. You buy a coin on June 5 for $1.20 with free shipping; the description specifies "good or better"... you complain because it isn't "gem". Then you receive an "S" instead of a plain, and post negative feedback without waiting for the seller to respond with a refund or an exchange. Sometime it pays to be patient. Glad you removed the neg, and hopefully you'll learn from this.

 

I agree -- where does the listing specifically say "GEM"? In any case, I'm glad the case got cleared up and you received a refund.

 

It is a deceptive listing. he should take a photo of a circulated example.

 

He took a photo of a gem lincoln then wrote this in the description."So please see the Up Close and Clear Photos above to Be the Final Judge for yourself the Condition of the Coin or Coins"
The seller made a very confussing and deceptive listing

 

Good or better is far from being Gem.

 

Yeah that description is a little iffy. He says good or better then says look at the picture to judge the coin for yourself and clearly the coin in the picture is a lot better than good.

 

"So please see the Up Close and Clear Photos above to Be the Final Judge for yourself the Condition of the Coin or Coins. "

"The Coin or Coins is represenitive of what you will get it Good or better condition and no junk."

Please use the picture which is of a completely different, pristine coin to judge the grade of the very worn coin we are not going to show you?

Find another seller I reckon.

 

Some of his other listings are much more truthful. Here's another $1.20 coin with a more "representative" photo:

You negged a guy over a $1.20 coin with file photos? I am just thankful you didn't make the transaction private.

 

The seller said that it is an album filler coin good or better. I don't see where the deception is. Did you really think that you were going to get a gem coin for $1.20 with free shipping? If you want gem coins, you have to pay for gem coins.

And BTW, the coin in the photo is a cleaned XF-45 details. Far from gem.

 

You have to give the seller a little benefit of the doubt, clearly he uses a template and likely forgot to remove the picture mentioning.

Since the seller clearly started the description with "Solid Album Filler coin which will be pulled from a circulated roll with readable date - Good or better", that should indicate the condition of the coin you're going to receive. If anyone is at fault, it's the buyers, if there's a mistake made in the auction listing, they should contact before buying anything.

People aren't perfect, a quick note to the seller likely would have fixed the auction listing.

I side with the seller on this one, even with the mishap in the auction listing. It just seems too many people want something for nothing nowadays. If it looks fishy, either ask or walk away, it's that easy.
