Seller says 41 quarters 1934-1965

What I received was...





1965- 27
1966- 6
1967- 7
1968- 1

Whats weird is he wrote that as 1965-1934 twice, so I think he was trying to cheat the system somehow, he'll probably say that the 1934 was a typo, and meant 68 or something, anyways, send him a message and see if he'll resolve it, if not get ebay involved.

 

Also $10 for shipping, and he paid 3.48 plus envelope, he really overpriced that.

 

I literally just opened the package and was like "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!?!"
I just messaged him, I don't think I can open a case until he responds.
Seeing as I literally just picked up the package I prob should wait 24 hrs for a response.

I was going to say something about that but I think the bigger issue is I didn't get what I bought.
Plus the picture has obvious quarters prior to 1964, smh.

 

Picture shows quarters that fall in the date range of 34-65, even though he wrote 65-34, twice as dsmith said.

I would SNAD the sale and demand a refund.

 

Advertised silver quarters. Showed silver quarters, but you got..... no silver quarters.

Order mixup? No....he has not sold anything recently.

Sounds to me like you were honestly scammed. If he does not follow up, or offer to make it right, you should follow with a negative and a opened case.

As of right now 41 silver quarters are worth over $160, so from the realized price, one can assume this seller may have ripped others off in the past.

 

Zach: Sorry to hear this happened to you. It looks like a rip off to me. I like how he misspelled silver as sliver. I hope you can work it out with the seller. If not, contact eBay and file a complaint. Good luck! TC

 

Contact the seller and tell them you want to return them plus $10 postage. I don't know why you bothered to bid on something with such an outrageous shipping charge. That's a HUGE red flag for me and I refuse to buy anything with jacked-up shipping.

 

I smell a rat, contact the seller and ask for a refund including shipping charges. If he doesn't respond within a few days escalate it through paypal.

 

He's sold other coins (not many) as singles, all silver quarters, all positive feedback. And on a few he misspelled "silver" as "sliver."

Maybe it was an honest mistake? I hope?

 

Actually, about $205 dollars.

 

Significantly Not As Described. Tell him so in a message, and point out that if he won't refund your total cost including shipping AND return postage, eBay will do it for him, taking it out of his account.

Don't even talk about feedback. As soon as you've got your refund, neg him. Other buyers deserve to be warned.

You don't get to show a misleading photo, use a misleading title, provide a misleading description, and then skate. Sorry.

 

I have nothing to add...

 

The problem I see is "He said, she said". His response may be that he sent you the pictured coins and has no idea where you got the ones displayed beside an open envelope. These aren't mounted or labeled, so very genaric and hard to identify.

Hopefully, he just sent the wrong item by mistake and it will get straightened out.

 

"These are the quarters I was selling. I wrote "1965-1934 Sliver Quarters!!". I did not write Pre or Post 1965 quarters. P.S There were 9 pre 1965 quarters and 32 1965 quarters, totaling 41 quarters. I have the Sales Receipt and the Delivery Confirmation Receipt. If you have any complaints, go and complaint to ebay. And no I do not accept returns."

 

When that happens on eBay, the buyer wins.

Sure, it's conceivable that the seller listed 41 silver quarters at $80 + $10 shipping, sent those actual silver quarters, and then the buyer -- who already got $205 worth of silver for $90 -- decided to run a scam by claiming that the item wasn't as described. But does anyone here really buy that?

 

Yeah really, I have better things to do with my life than to scam people for $100 dollars.
I have almost 200 sales/purchases on ebay and until recently I've been running into these dirt balls.
I believe this is my 5/6 case in the past month and I've won all of them since.

 

Oh, this gets more and more interesting!

The seller might have sent 9 pre-1965 and 32 1965 quarters, with a total value of $53, and had an accurate photo. And wouldn't that buyer feel silly for assuming that there were more than the 9 clearly visible silver quarters in that pile.

But if he did, the buyer could make a technical SNAD case by pointing out that the lot was described as "1965-1934", but there were coins later than 1965 in the lot.

The seller could've sent all clad quarters, and be lying. Or, the buyer could've received the pictured quarters, and be lying.

...and now the seller gets his education on how "he said, she said" plays out on eBay.

 

I've yet to give a negative feedback, this might be my first.

 

Tread carefully. Win enough "he said/she said" cases, and eBay will start to scrutinize your claims a lot more closely.

I had a couple of sellers try to scam me last year. One sent me a fake 1920-S half that I documented here. Two or three months later, someone "sold me" three gold eagles (2 1906, 1 1914) for a bit under melt, then never sent them and never answered email. A week or two after that, I bought a "1927 double eagle" that turned out to be a paperweight.

In all three cases, I won, and got a full refund including shipping (and, in the last case, return shipping -- eBay sent a prepaid label). But when the third one hit, eBay gave me a concerned "courtesy call" to make sure everything was okay; and after the charge was reversed, PayPal also gave me a nice call to follow up. Not accusing me of anything, or even asking pointed questions, but making it very clear that I was a good customer who was worthy of some extra attention.

I would hope, as a past Power Seller, that eBay would eventually pull the plug on a buyer who files too many disputes, especially ones that the seller contests vigorously. I haven't seen any evidence of this, which is one reason I'm still not going back to selling, but it seems like it would only stand to reason...
