<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sholom, post: 585549, member: 17753&quot;]Yep -- it&#039;s happened to me twice in the past 3 months.</p><p><br /></p><p>On one, I purchased a 1911-D cent, and what I got was not the cent in the picture.&nbsp; I told the seller, he apologized and admitted he screwed up, and I sent it back and got a full refund.</p><p><br /></p><p>In another instance, with another seller, I bid on five Merc Dimes, but after I paid and before seller shipped, seller told me she messed up and had already sold one of the dimes.&nbsp; She offered me either a refund or a equivalent substitute at the same price.&nbsp; I took the latter option, and things worked out fine.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s easy to trash large organizations, because it&#039;s difficult for those organizations to respond quickly or offer personalized help -- and because there is just so much activity going on, there are bound to be mess-ups, charlatans, and the like.&nbsp; But, gee, where else are you going to find 150,000 coin auctions going on at the same time?&nbsp; Where else are you going to find low-cost items for the entry level collector?&nbsp; (I recently purchased 4 2009 cents for $1.00, which included postage.&nbsp; Yeah, perhaps it was a rip off, but that $1 brought a lot of peace of mind to me -- knowing I at least had those two cents in MS condition.&nbsp; Where else could I do that?)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not trying to defend eBay -- just pointing out that there&#039;s a lot of good along with the bad.&nbsp; eBay has, thus far, been very very good to me, and have mostly had very pleasant transactions, both as a buyer and a seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
