I tried handling this peacefully . . . Now what do I do?

Seller was going to screw you and then decided to do the right thing once you called him out on it.

And good luck with Ebay doing anything about your annoying competitor

I won’t deal with buyers who try to pressure me into selling to them. I probably lost out on hundreds of potential dollars on a coin when the buyer pressured me to sell. I won't let that happen again

 

That's just silly, at least once your money's refunded. Breach of contract, at the very most, and for all eBay's protestations that a bid is a binding contract to purchase, I don't think they have any enforcement power.

 

What bugs me is Sellers who wait for the Buyer (me) to leave feedback before they will leave feedback. I think once a Buyer pays for an item they have completed their part of the sale and the Seller should leave feedback when they receive the payment. I will not leave feedback for Sellers that have not left feedback for me. As a Seller I leave feedback as soon as the Buyer pays for the item.

 

I am so glad at times like these that I make my transitions in person.
And if I like a coin, it never sees the dealers hand again.
Carry on.

 

I understand. I am definitely old school where a transfer of money is a sale, if one party backed out without an agreement it usually ended with a black eye or a few missing teeth. Hopefully EBAY does something to keep these practices at a minimum. Too many shysters hiding behind a computer screen.

 

I had someone try that with me and a coin I sold. I told him "no thank you" He badgered me with 2 more ebay messages, but when he saw I wasn't going to give in, he finally quit trying.
I did not find anything about his attempt to be tempting or interesting at all. I don't like dealing with unscrupulous people

 

To be fair the post office is kinda "special" so, maybe give the seller the benefit of the doubt for the moment. I mean usually I blame the post office for everything, so maybe, as normal, they screwed up.

 

You got screwed again.

 

Does this offending buyer sell on eBay as well?

 

As soon as it gets delivered, you'll get a "sorry I lost it" and a refund through EBay.

 

You said you thought he was emulating you by buying what you're buying. He must be selling what you're selling as well... somewhere.
