<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3278251, member: 78244&quot;]One time I bought an 1804 Spiked Chin half cent from less-than-optimal pictures on eBay, and in-hand inspection immediately revealed the coin to be a counterfeit.</p><p><br /></p><p>I initiated a return on the basis of it being counterfeit, and the seller denied it and ridiculed my conclusion. Then I gave a complete analysis of all of the tells, and he still tried to deny it on the grounds that his dealer said it was good. I took it to my dealer, and they gave me a handwritten note that the coin was indeed counterfeit, how they could tell, and that the counterfeit was the same coin in the picture. At this point the seller accepted the return but refused to provide a return label. I then let him know he was committing a felony, but he did not care.</p><p><br /></p><p>Calling eBay forced him to pay for my return shipping, and I got my money back with no problem. I reported the seller to a secret eBay watchdog group, and the seller was removed upon relisting the coin multiple times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
