<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2118282, member: 27832&quot;]You can&#039;t have it both ways. If it was improper for the seller to send something other than the original coin, it&#039;s improper for you to return something other than what he sent. If it was improper for eBay to act as though he sent a coin when he didn&#039;t, then it would be improper for them to act as though you returned something when you didn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, if the buyer held on to the check, what would prevent him from cashing it the moment eBay reports his refund? What reason would the seller have to think <i>he&#039;s</i> not the one about to get scammed?</p><p><br /></p><p>If the buyer sent back an empty package, we might all <i>think</i> that eBay would obliviously record it as a return -- but we don&#039;t <i>know</i> the buyer&#039;s and seller&#039;s history with eBay returns, and so we don&#039;t <i>know</i> which side eBay would take.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the safest (and most ethical) path here is for the buyer to return what the seller sent, using eBay&#039;s tracking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
