<p>[QUOTE="FreakyGsMom, post: 516868, member: 17127"]Hi Guys,</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know if you remember the thread or not, but last month we bought what was listed as a club rays variety Fugio for Garrett on ebay. When it came it, G posted it to the forum for opinions. The overwhelming consensus was that it wasn't a club rays variety, which was what we thought we were buying. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> We had bid on this one because G wanted to expand the Fugio collection with a club rays, so since it was misattributed we returned it to the seller the very next day. We emailed the seller and notified them the coin was being returned with reason why and also put a note in the pkg with the same info, so the seller was made fully aware the coin wasn't a club rays. It cost $8.00 to return it and $13.10 for the shipping when we bought it, so we're out over $21. due to their "mistake." The seller took a week to refund our money, but didn't refund any shipping charges even though it was not as described. I emailed and called the seller to no avail, so I filed a SNAD dispute with paypal which is ongoing. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The seller has relisted the same coin with the same listing. It's still identified as a club rays even though they're fully aware it's pointed rays. We're new to buying coins on ebay, but I'm amazed it's this easy for a seller to repeatedly scam buyers. The other thing we've discovered in dealing with this seller is that negative feedback is instantly buried by pages and pages of positive feedback by buyers that make hundreds of purchases from ONLY this seller. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> There are numerous buyers that are the only bidder on an item over and over again, so even after I left 2 negative feedbacks their rating went up and my feedback was buried on page 9 the very next day after I left it. I've accepted the fact that I paid $21 to be educated on what to look out for on ebay, but do you have any ideas on how I could prevent someone else from falling for the same scam we did? I've notified ebay of the above, but I haven't heard back from them.
