    So yeah, encountered my first Ebay scammer in a while.

    Submitted a report, but without doxxing the guy (edit: I have his Ebay nickname if you want to add him to your blocked bidder list as well, but please PM me as I don't want to break rules about posting it live) - he bought and received a coin from me around a month ago, leaving feedback that literally said "Item received on time and in condition as advertised". Fast forward a month later- this dude opens an INR claim over the coin (sold for $3.67 by the way). I refunded him, but only later did I notice the positive feedback he'd left saying he received it.

    Apparently someone really needs a sub $4 coin for free. Fascinating.

    Did you check to see if the review was eBay automated feedback?

    Just guessing but with a coin with a low value it didn't have a tracking number? I'm thinking the bidder took advantage of that and the fact that there's no way to prove it arrived. Pretty shady.

    That's crazy. Why do people buy only one item with the value being so low? Shipping probably costs more than that.
