<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 385908, member: 12965"]The main reason I post the quality counterfeits is to warn others they are out there and with this one, if they fix a few errors and properly produce them (90% silver, pressed hubs, etc...) then it will be extremely hard to spot the fakes and that day isn't too far off and may already be upon us.</p><p> </p><p>Counterfeits are going to be the downfall for Ebay, if Ebay doesn't get tough about counterfeits. You said earlier that you got a refund from one seller, over a counterfeit, and got to keep it? That was a good outcome but beware, they don't always end that way. I've been fighting with PayPal for almost a month now, over a counterfeit, and I still don't have resolution and during the dispute the seller never claimed that the coin is/was authentic, but they also never said it was a counterfeit on the listing and with Ebay's policy, if you don't say it's a counterfeit up front or disclaim it's authenticity (aka: I don't know if it's real or not), the seller is claiming it to be authentic and with my dispute, it should have been resolved in my favor within 72 hours but several weeks later, it's still unresolved. So just because you had one good outcome over a counterfeit, don't expect it to be the norm, it isn't! I had the same attitude you had in your first post, if it's a counterfeit, I'll just return it and get my money back . . . whoa . . . I found out that isn't always the case and I hope you never have to find out first-hand like I did.</p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ps: Welcome to the forum. :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
