<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 4110287, member: 22377&quot;]With so many people on eBay, it seems like everyone runs into at least a few oddballs. The majority of people on eBay are fine, but some of the bad ones (even though it’s only a few) leave a sour taste.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few of my worst included:</p><p>-a guy who bought an after market mint set (basically a year set of coins in a generic holder) and then sent it back without even opening the envelope since it looked fake to him/couldn’t have come from the Mint (even though I never said it was an official US Mint set)...after this I started writing in my listings that such and such is “not an official product from the US Mint but a set of US coins put together by a private party”</p><p><br /></p><p>-someone bought a graded foreign coin that I listed as a pattern (that part I should not have done-I realized afterwards)...he then had me try to prove it was actually a pattern. I sent him several sources that I found but he wasn’t happy with that. In the end we settled on it being a fantasy piece and he opened a case to return it...I learned that I should have just told him to return it right away and not have bothered trying to prove anything</p><p><br /></p><p>-I sold a 1/10 Oz gold coin...over a month after it was delivered, the person started a chargeback...PayPal at first took the money from my account and said the buyer won the case...after some complaining, they refunded the money to me as a “one time courtesy”</p><p><br /></p><p>-I sold a common date 1960s Proof Franklin in a defunct holder...the winning buyer bid it up to $100 (2x-3x more than I expected...I was anticipating a premium for the holder, but didn’t see it going that high)....after receiving it, he starts complaining that the coin does not have enough cameo to it...I explained that the listing didn’t mention cameo and just said it was a Franklin in an old holder...(note: that date even in cameo didn’t cost $100, it would have to be DCAM and graded as such)....he went on to leave negative feedback but didn’t return the coin (so I guess it was a win as I made something on it at the expense of one negative)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
