<p>[QUOTE=&quot;punekari, post: 1521474, member: 21224&quot;]After a recent bad experience with a seller on eBay I wanted to post an alert to caution would be buyers from committing the same mistake.</p><p>I had purchased a supposed ancient Indian coin of Samudragupta with the Aswamegha depiction (listed as Aswamegh Chandra Gupta coin). Here is a link to the original listing:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;_trksid=p4340.l2557&amp;rt=nc&amp;nma=true&amp;item=400303465388&amp;si=QlN%252FGdad%252BJPkqxcWv0DNDOQprTM%253D&amp;viewitem=&amp;sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AWNARL%3AUS%3A1120&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc#ht_2503wt_855" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;_trksid=p4340.l2557&amp;rt=nc&amp;nma=true&amp;item=400303465388&amp;si=QlN%252FGdad%252BJPkqxcWv0DNDOQprTM%253D&amp;viewitem=&amp;sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AWNARL%3AUS%3A1120&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc#ht_2503wt_855" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;_trksid=p4340.l2557&amp;rt=nc&amp;nma=true&amp;item=400303465388&amp;si=QlN%2FGdad%2BJPkqxcWv0DNDOQprTM%3D&amp;viewitem=&amp;sspagename=ADME:B:WNARL:US:1120&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc#ht_2503wt_855</a></p><p><br /></p><p>After discussing this via email, I purchased this coin. I was sent a completely different coin which was nowhere like the one listed and seems to be a modern replica worth much, much less! I&#039;ve posted pictures of the actual coin I received. I complained to the seller and to PayPal but nothing could apparently be done. I had mailed the coin back but the seller didn&#039;t pick up the coin from the registered delivery service. In PayPal policy, a dispute can only be decided in your favor if the seller signs for the item. If the seller doesn&#039;t accept the mail, then PayPal can&#039;t do anything about. Certainly an eye opening experience about what happens when things don&#039;t work out in online transactions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully other buyers will learn from my mistake and avoid this dealer! PayPal also doesn&#039;t seem to help the buyer much in these situations so I would be cautious with trusting that service as well!</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller listing is worldcurrencyandcoin on eBay. The company is located in Singapore with an address of:</p><p><br /></p><p>Numis-Phil (S) Pte Ltd</p><p>International Plaza #37-14</p><p>10 Anson Road</p><p>Singapore 079903</p><p>Phone: 62254489. </p><p><br /></p><p>As they say, caveat emptor![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
