[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1179068, member: 30400"]Are you returning the coin under a seller guarantee? If so, no buyer protection is needed. If there's no guarantee then are you returning his coin as SNAD (significantly not as described)? You may win the debate but it is not assured. ebay/PayPal often side with the buyer but not always. If you are returning the coin because it is counterfeit then you need an authority on your side (or a bulletproof argument, I suppose). TPG grading takes longer than a customary guarantee. I am not saying you will lose in the end but I don't see how you are hurting him by buying and returning. Unless you prove a patter of deceit or intentional sales of known counterfeit coins and hope to shut him down. So I was just suggesting you avoid the drama and simply report the counterfeit to ebay. If you go public with it here, then perhaps one of the ebay community watch members...those who have special relationships with ebay as experts in their field...will see your post and report the problem auction to ebay and get it shut down post haste. ebay trusts such established member reports and does not need to do further investigation before killing the auction and, we hope, the seller's ebay account.
