live and learn

So I bought my first bullion on ebay. I'm an experience ebayer but I made a classic rookie mistake. I got excited for buying a 1 troy oz silver piece at a rediculously low price. It wasn't until after I won and paid for the item that I read the fine print and saw it's silver over copper. Oh well, live n learn, I guess.

I have seen them as well. Actually caught myself looking at one of them that had a certain plant on it that I recognized from years gone by.

Take it as a cheap lesson learned.. and enjoy your overpriced token.. : )

 

Been there, done that.

 

I would return it for a refund. You have the right to return any item you buy on Ebay for a refund.

 

The Devil is in the details.

 

Only if its not as described, it he said it was silver then yes you can return it, if it says silver plated, then hes out of luck.

 

"If it seems too good to be true, it probably is"

 

I've almost done that myself. Saw an auction with a cheap BIN and just about pulled the trigger.

 

Even if I could return it I wouldn't. It's going in a small frame right over my desk as a reminder to be more careful and never be so stupid again.

 

Been there, done that, however as soon as I realized what I had done, I sent a message to the seller admitting I made a mistake and asked him to void the sale. He did so with no problem. These guys really only want to spam those clueless enough to not only buy their stuff, but those who keep it and figure they got a great deal.

 

I read the fine print always. I even read those License Agreements with software. I suggest more people do such things before making a quick decision, especially when it comes to money or finances.

 

If Pay-Pal is used you can return for a refund 99% of the time regardless of what the sellers return policy is. Pay-Pal will pull it rate out of their account :thumb:

 

good plan. that may be worth more than returning it in the end.

 

Wait...What?

What's your FeeBay user name again?

 

Now all you have to do now is drill a hole in it and wear it around your neck as a good luck charm. The ladies will be swarming all over ya!

 

If you are not satisfied with a item bought with Pay-Pal you can return it for a refund. If a seller does not want to offer a refund he should not except Pal-Pal as a payment. You cant agree to except returns when you agree to use Pay-Pal and than say you dont except returns in your listing.

 

THIS is the main reason why many here stay away from eBay. They've gotten burned too many times from scammer buyers taking advantage of paypal/ebay's "protection" policy.

 

I would not return an item just because i changed my mind but if the listing was misleading i would return an item and not feel bad. The op in this thread bought a silver plated coin that had the world "bullion" in the listing, Even if the seller said it was plated in fine print the word bullion being used would be enough for me to call it misleading.

 

If i did not want to have to take back returns i would make my listing as clear as possible and not do things such as listing a plated item under bullion or use the would bullion in my listing even if i also sais the item was plated.

 

You should learn the difference between the words except and accept. Despite sounding alike, they mean two entirely different things.

Please show me where PayPal requires users of PayPal to accept returns. (Other than returns initiated through a buyer protection claim) Copying and pasting the applicable sentence or paragraph from their terms and conditions would suffice.

IMO - FeeBay/PayPal combined are only half the problem with selling things on FeeBay. The other half are the scammers and people that abuse the system, like those people who assume they can return anything, even if the auction specifically states "No Returns".
