<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1184731, member: 27832&quot;]It would certainly matter to me. If the seller had gone with &quot;I thought this coin was authentic -- naturally I&#039;ll accept it and refund your money&quot;, or even &quot;what makes you think it&#039;s fake?&quot;, I would&#039;ve returned it in a heartbeat. If he&#039;d been as rude as he actually has been, but hadn&#039;t had a history of doing the same thing to other buyers, I might&#039;ve still returned it.</p><p><br /></p><p>But: he didn&#039;t deny that the coin was fake. He didn&#039;t offer to take it back for a refund. He didn&#039;t stop trying to sell unmarked replicas, even after I filed. And, most telling of all, his feedback history still shows the dozens of transactions where he bought apparently non-stamped replicas <i>on eBay</i>, then turned around and sold coins of the same type, date and mintmark <i>on eBay, presenting them as authentic coins</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got a rather apologetic message from PayPal support yesterday morning, pointing out that the seller &quot;had refunded my money&quot; and would like to know when he could expect to get his &quot;coin&quot; back. I called PayPal support, and the rep I talked to said I was not obligated to return the coin, but &quot;it would be nice to return it, since you&#039;ve got your money back and he doesn&#039;t have his merchandise&quot;. I mentioned turning over the coin to the Secret Service, and the rep said &quot;that would be fine, too.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Still haven&#039;t decided what to do, but I still can&#039;t see returning this counterfeit to the guy who, based on multiple pieces of evidence, was making a nice business out of knowingly buying them as fakes and selling them as real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
