[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3024817, member: 15199"]Ebay has good sellers, and scammy ones, but if you search you can find some hardworking honest dealers. Using another area of interest, gemstones, this happened to me this week. I had bid on a relatively rare stone I had a purpose for, and I bid and won on the basis it was about 5x7 mm and I could trim it to fit a ring I could show my gem buddies. I didn't notice the small weight in the advertisement as the photos gave a larger proportion than .21carat. The company sent this email to me. [SIZE=4][B]I'm so sorry to inform you that your order hasn't been shipped yet. We just found out that this item has the wrong information listed on the listing. The actual stone weight 1.21ct, not 0.21ct. The rest information are correct. Would you like to keep this stone without any extra charge? Or if you wanted to cancel the item for a full refund, please kindly let me know.[/B][/SIZE] I offered to cancel that order part as I have had excellent dealings so far and didn't want them to suffer financially. The reply: [B]Thank you very much for your confirmation. It's all okay, we will be happy if you would take it. I'm sorry again for the problem that happened. [/B] I have bought from thiagemstore for many years, and would recommend them to gem lovers, but like with coins, you always have to know what you are seeing and values, and like varieties, you need to have a knowing eye.
