<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1848268, member: 19463"]It hurts me to say that I no longer trust a vCoins seller <u>just</u> because they are a vCoins seller. I once did. vCoins was sold and they let in some dealers that did not belong there. Later they went back under control of 1000% capable and honest heads but I have not seen the elimination of dealers I don't trust. Certainly 95% of their dealers are great but there are coins offered on vCoins with fake patinas not so described and I can not stomach that. I buy a lot of coins from vCoins dealers but that is because I trust <u>that particular</u> dealer and not because they are a vCoins dealer. The coin you bought and the dealer who sold it seem quite fine to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>I recently bought a coin from a vCoins dealer but the coin did not arrive in a timely fashion. I inquired but did not mention a refund. The dealer refunded my Paypal and said to pay again if the coin shows up. It has not yet but I have a very good feeling about that dealer. There is a problem I see with Paypal. They limit your period of claim against non delivery to 45 days. When the post office and customs (not to mention Christmas rush) conspire, a coin can take that long to arrive. I once got a book from India that took three months. I bought a coin from Germany a couple years ago that never came but Paypal refused my claim because I waited too long hoping it would come. Beware of ordering from overseas and not watching your calendar. Not every seller is as nice as the one I used. (I really hope that coin comes tomorrow!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
