That doesn't look like a current PCGS slab....don't they have the graduated blue labels now?

Well while not exactly libel - the insurance companies can refuse to pay. But in the case of e-bay hacked account I do not believe the owner can be held libel - in my opinion, which is not a legal opinion. Of course this is a perfect example of why I use my CC with paypal and ebay.

 

Wow... I had no idea people could hijack someone's eBay account. Glad to hear you'll get the money from PayPal. For what's it's worth, I'll take this as a lesson learned.

 

So sorry to hear about another problem with ebay....I fell into a trap for an item under $100 before same kinda thing ....the seller's account was hacked.....but they delivered a cardboard filled package and I lost my money....Well that was it for me from new seller's on ebay!

 

Glad this was resolved in your favor!

 

thats what I was thinking.

 

I would freak out if I got scammed on a 0.99 purchase. Glad it all worked out.

 

Glad you got it resolved in your favor. Hopefully, you're off the couch now!

Anytime Charlie wants to buy any coin over $100.00, not only do I check feedback on the seller, I check feedback on the other buyers. After I had seen an Ebay listing on a show saddle that goes for about $2500.00 that had a "buy now" option for $500.00. The seller had 100% feedback but the other buyers had under 50 transactions and they all bought the same item and lived in the same country. Oh, yea it was coming from India and would receive it in 2-3 days with $30.00 shipping on a 40lb saddle. Not to mention I saw the same saddle 2 days before and it was in WY (same saddle - pic was taken with distinctive background objects). I contacted the original owner, who then contacted Ebay.

That being said, I have 100% feedback with over 1500 transactions but I have never sold anything on Ebay.

 

I received an altered coin (removed mint mark) off eBay last year. Ebay was quick to refund my money but refused to punish this seller. I sent the seller the coin using the pre-paid sticker provided to me by eBay. The seller had moved so the USPS forwarded the coin from NJ to CA where it was refused and returned to me. A few months went by and I received a request from the seller to return the coin along with an envelope containing his correct address with no stamp. To make a long story short, I contacted the Postal Authorities, My states AG office and the Secret Service and a few other agencies. They found the seller at the address he provided to me and he was charged with 7 felonies and he faced a minimum of 7-10 years but he took a plea for 3-5. I wouldn't have pressed the issue after eBay reimbursed me but since eBay wasn't going to prosecute him and he had my contact info, I feel better knowing he's now off eBay. I hope he enjoys the food and the sex!

 

I call BS on that. Sorry dude, but seriously, Secret Service and jail time? No way.

 

Normally, I'd assume it was a typo, but since you quoted another poster and used the word twice, I'm concluding that you simply don't know the word: liable.
