Nope not yet. The seller is still trying to sell it to me and we have a “agreement” of me purchasing it. So I asked him to take pictures of the coin next to a quarter.

 

Ain't nobody got time that. It's not a very complicated process: put item up for sale, someone pays, send item to buyer. Once someone starts doing the hokey-pokey, there is no telling what they are trying to accomplish. I would just contact customer support and get the monies returned.

 

That is a good idea.

 

Get your money back and walk away from all of this.

 

Not to be stupid BUT. what is a die break all about

 

Wow am i glad i only search cents

 

What was wrong was it didn't sell for enough to satisfy him. (Probably for the very reasons that everyone here has mentioned.)

 

You don't leave feedback until you are holding the item and it all checks out.

 

Do you have your money back yet?

 

Nope. He sent a package.

 

You may want some sort of proof when opening it. This may be part of the scam.

 

I’m taking a video. This guy is 99.99 percent a scammer and was holding me to a contract agreement. Who knows. Maybe I’ll get lucky. I’m thinking not.

 

You are not bound by a verbal or written agreement if the item he provides is not significantly as described. Part of the scam is probably that he makes you think you are contractually obligated to buy something from him.

 

No. If you need to sign for it, refuse. Go to the Post Office and have the Postmaster present when you open the package. Then verify whether or not the coin matches the pictures.

If you don’t need to sign for it, take it to the PO anyway and see if they are willing to verify the contents.

The scammer can always claim you tampered with the package in the video

 

You can always refuse the shipment. UPS, USPS and FED-X all have a way to deal with refusing a package even if they delivered it. The key is: DON'T OPEN IT. You must get it back to them just as they got it back to you in a few days.

 

Once this is all sorted, it's possible for you to leave ONE follow-up comment on the feedback you left him. Last I checked, there's no time limit on this; I left a follow-up on a feedback I'd left more than ten years previously.

I would hope that eBay will kill this account once you've established the nature of the scam, but I don't think you can actually get them to remove positive feedback in a situation like this. (They certainly leap to remove negative feedback left for sellers, though.)

 

EBay is good for some things. Geotrax train tracks for kids as parents sell used toys there. I even bought a NGC MS-65 McArthur (Philippines) Peso (1947?) to use with my son's school report on Douglass McArthur for $59.

For high value coins: like a small eagle Bust Dollar, or even ANY Barber half dollar grading better than VG, EBay is simply a waste of time.

And yet he's already selling Bust dollars...

 

I'm inclined to disagree.
