<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 3572555, member: 25270"]I sold a coin last night on eBay. It was a buy it now and was a fairly common world coin. Sold for $1.40. I packed it up and shipped it right away. Today I got an email from eBay telling me there was a suspicious buyer and they had to cancel the bid. I already sent the coin, and the money is in my Paypal account. It's odd. This happened to me one other time and everything seemed to be fine. I kept the money and the mail was apparently delivered. Below is the text of the email from eBay:</p><p><br /></p><p>We had to cancel bids for the buyer, cbil_us_fmbprz, because they aren't registered on eBay:</p><p>264337438219 - 1931 Italy 10 centesimi coin</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We've also made it easy to relist your item if it was removed.
