[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1248465, member: 13307"]So, there is a happy ending to this story, apparently: I heard back from my buyer. Here's his story: PayPal decided to overcharge this buyer for a few items. This explains the crazy amount PayPal was showing me. He tried to contact them to explain, but they misunderstood what he was telling them...so all he's doing is trying to get charged the correct amount. Completely happy with the coin and my service. As usual, I always try to keep a "wait and see" attitude...but it's good to hear that I'm not dealing with one of those unreasonable weirdos that always seem to pop up and nothing you can do makes them happy. I'm glad the buyer contacted me back - although it would have been better for my peace of mind had he contacted me first. Of course, he was probably assuming that PayPal would do what he asked them and there would be no need... I, too, prefer craigslist. Once it's done, it's done. I've only had two major issues with Craigslist: *The rise in PM prices has created a ton of speculators who are ONLY interested in buying your coins if they are silver, and ONLY interested in them if they can get them for a steal of a price.
