[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2157433, member: 56859"]I don't often buy on eBay but recently made an offer on a coin which had failed to sell. The offer was accepted. He relisted the coin for me at the agreed upon price and I bought it. Both listings stated that the coin's location was United States, which for me would mean domestic shipping via USPS. A week later I received a shipping notice and the coin was coming by registered mail from Israel. That means it will be a month or so from time of purchase before receiving the coin. While I'm really not in a rush to receive it, this is leaving me feeling a bit disgruntled. I did contact the seller after receiving the shipping notice, asking why the listing said the coin was physically located in the US. "My partner is in the US", he replied. Okaaaay, but the [I]coin[/I] wasn't, and the listing said it was. I suggested that they check their listings to ensure accurate representation of each item's location. I'm not going to ding them on feedback but I am wondering if this is a common or acceptable practice.[/QUOTE]
